Red Bull takes a minority shareholding in Leeds Utd https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cx88w2nneego Could this be the beginning of RB Leeds? Already the ream will have the Red Bull logo as the main sponsor on their shirts. What will the EFL have to say...
I say good luck to players if they go on Strike over this; https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c2jjmn7ex4vo Normally I have little sympathy for overpaid, cosseted brats. But nobody except the FIFA top brass wants this 32 team Club World Cup. Fans have not been crying out for it. I'd guess 99.9% couldn't give a toss, as most could not afford the money or time to go and watch it live. Many supporters are likely to be wary of this Club World Cup, as it's an obvious way that players could get injured. I might have heard somewhere that Premier League Clubs are considering boycotting it. Good on them if they do
You know when you've been Tanguyed https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c800gg3l637o Anyone ever get their eardrums perforated after that stupid TV advert about 40 years ago?
We play AFC Wimbledon in a preseason friendly, so he's bound to score against us. Likewise Josh Davison.
I see the Olympic Soccer players and fans are showing the true Spirit of the Games https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c7294ev3dd5o
Yep, we have HNK Rijeka from Croatia in the 3rd and last qualifying round in the Europa League. Elfsborg should dispatch this mob easily enough to then get into the group stages. I'm back for this period and so will be able to take in a couple of games, hopefully one away as well.
Edit.........Just seen there are play-offs on the 22nd and 29th August before you EVENTUALLY reach the group stage!
