    Looks like Conference League for Palace now <doh>

    Trouble is, it's such a tin-pot trophy they'll probably win it :emoticon-0104-surpr

    I always thought clubs paid for policing at their matches. According to the Beeb, however, it costs the force £70m a season.

    Is that right?

    Perhaps the Clubs only pay a proportion?

    According to the report, Plod pays for it all.

    That doesn't seem right.

    I hear Chelsea have won the FIFA Club World Cup <cracker>

    Can't think of a more appropriate team to win such a plastic competition.
    Their Gaffer said he thinks it's going to become bigger than the Champion's League <laugh>

    Infantino compared to Roman Emperor Nero...

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c9qx3jdwenzo

    Marchi added: "What was presented as a global celebration of football was nothing more than a fiction created by Fifa, promoted by its president, without dialogue, sensitivity, and respect for those who sustain the game with their daily efforts.

    "A grandiloquent staging inevitably reminiscent of the 'bread and circuses' of Nero's Rome, entertainment for the masses while behind the scenes inequality, precariousness, and the lack of protection for the true protagonists deepen."

    Why on earth did those Chelsea reps not give Trump a going over when he reached out his hand??? I’d have at least snubbed him probably slapped him

    Cole Palmer was confused apparently - seems his natural state tbf

    FIFA has lost the plot. Who would have thought Blatter would be replaced by someone even worse, much worse. Football is the most popular sport in the world and also the worst run. A terrific Wimbledon final, a gripping Test Match and the Open to come. And what does football's governing body come up with? A trophy with Infantile's name on it. The "Look at Me " cup.

    Dagenham & Redbridge FC are the latest to go Middle Eastern - bought by a Qatari consortium :emoticon-0157-sun: :bandit:

    And they've signed 36 year old Andy Carroll :emoticon-0104-surpr

    Poster on CL quotes a study which shows that Charlton fans are the most polite in the Championship, with just 2.48% of comments containing expletives..Millwall top the table at 11.17%.

    It's the Summer.

    I'm looking forward to Seriously's 10,000 word dissertation on the subject.
    Remarkable though, that Millwall fans posting messages apparently can't go ten words without one of them being an expletive.
    And we're only talking here about those who learned to write :emoticon-0138-think
