Looks like Spurs ground will open next month, with our u-18 match with them due to be a test event there.
 
We need something from spurs, because the enforced football break that comes afterwards is going to be horrible if things go wrong this weekend.
Lets make it a cup final, lets mash those spuds. COYS :emoticon-0131-angel


If we lose and Cardiff beat West Ham to go above us again, then all the dropped points recently are going to look really expensive.

On the other hand, one point for us and none for Cardiff would ease the pressure quite a bit.


Big weekend, feeling nervous already.

We should do a guess the punishment for Man City.

Breaching financial fair play rules.
Academy player recruitment issues.
Illegal payments to agents.

FFP rules are designed to ensure the amount clubs spend on their players and wages is approximately equal to what they earn in commercial revenue and prize money.

I'll start, £50,000 fine & a strongly worded 'don't do it again' letter.
(they were found guilty in 2014 as well)

Wasn't it a £50m fine last time?
 
That would be a huge shock.

Would it? He's not hung around long at most places and Italy would make sense after already doing Spain, Germany and England.

It also fits with his objectives of picking the easiest jobs at the richest sides.
