    At the Villa game I noticed Sunderland shirts with 'Enzo Le Fée' with the accent at the wrong angle ...

    ... I'm surprised no one has picked up on it.

    I'll have to check Enzo's shirt to see if it's right on there.

    Liverpool have shut down 145,000 ticket accounts over the past two years as part of a crackdown against touting.

    They also issued a record 1,114 lifetime bans last season - a move that followed the discovery of mass manipulation of software used to buy tickets. Eleven applied to season ticket holders.

    LFC said 500 people were denied entry to Anfield for trying to gain access with a burner phone - used by touts to avoid tickets being traced - in the last 12 months.

    Loopy this. I remember Bruce going mad because Bent was the penalty taker and he let Jones take one to get on the score sheet.

    Football has improved, in many ways' since the advent of the PL etc ...

    ... but it's sold it's soul and that can never be bought back.

    I'm just glad I witnessed the 'better days' despite the rotten old grounds, open stands and crumbling terraces.

    Yes it sounds naïve but, just like nostalgia, 'progress' isn't always what it's cracked up to be.

    Had a great chat with the tremendous Trai Hume this week for the Premier League - and asked how many times he’d rewatched that epic Championship playoff final since May?

    “I’ve probably watched it back hundreds of times if I’m honest…! It’s one of those games that live with you for the rest of your career and your life.

    “Even the semi-final I’ve watched back loads of times - 3 games that will live with the club and the fans forever.

    “I actually drive past the wall mural every single day to get to training. It’s fantastic - but I have to see Tommy and Dan’s faces every day as well, which is just something you have to accept really!” #SAFC
