    To be fair I've seen pictures from previous world cups of our players in suites.

    Anyhow, lots of changes implemented really.

    The good:

    Winter break only for PL clubs meaning hopefully an attendance boost at EFL and non-league clubs. Even if the timing is highly suspicious and PL players seem to be snow flakes

    The bad:

    Putting FA Cup 5th round matches midweek - because that doesn't devalue the competition

    Scrapping FA Cup 5th round replays which is going to completely get rid of the chance of a lower or non-league side holding a PL or championside to a draw at home, then getting a huge payday in the replay at somewhere like The Emirates or Elland Road.

    The ugly:

    The big six getting a bigger share of the international TV rights which rather than being distributed evenly (gosh, we can't have anything communist like that in the PL!), further entrenching the big 6. An utterly disgraceful and disgusting (but not surprising) decision. Given like 75% of PL clubs needed to vote in favour of it, that's about 9 turkeys voting for Christmas.

    Legend. He'll save Villa just like he saved us.

    England beat Mexico 2.1 to win Toulon tournament for 3rd year running. Put Scotland out in semis.

    Agreed would love for them to get it. The 3 country bid is beyond ridiculous imo. I'll probably try and get to Morocco if they get it but don't think they will.

    Unsurprising but a shame, bit of a farce imo.

    Another tick in the 'Pro' column for the job offer... just won't tell the missus what the tick is for.
