The three relegated sides nearly always have insanely higher budgets than the rest of the Championship. That’s what the parachute payments do. I understand the 3 coming down will have parachute payments, but Leicester, Leeds and Southampton felt like a new extreme when it came to financial disparit...

Loafer Have any team ever gone through an entire season including all cups without losing a single game?

Not since the introduction of European competitions apparently.

Quality goal as well, especially the composure to beat his man before shooting.

97th minute equaliser for Leverkusen!!

Clyde1998 Leverkusen 1-0 down against Roma... Apparently Roma's keep has kept them in the game.

2-0 Roma - both coming from penalties.

Leverkusen 1-0 down against Roma... Apparently Roma's keep has kept them in the game.

Villa 1-0 down after ten minutes. Cannot see them scoring three.

Turns out there is something worse than a half-and-half scarf - one that's been misspelt.

The club are running a survey on the experience of following Reading and improvements that could be made by the club (in terms of ticketing; catering; merchandising; facilities; stewarding; family area; matchday entertainment; Community Trust; website; social media). This should've been sent to peop...

Could understand getting rid of any of the three left backs but letting them all go is a big gamble. Leaves us with six senior defenders and one of them is Dean. Fwiw as I mentioned in another thread, I was sat near Carson's dad on Saturday and while he wasn't expecting him to be first choice next ...

tidus_mi2 Peterborough look pretty hopeless right now.

They hardly caused much threat throughout the game and conceded a very soft penalty to get knocked out.

Oxford defended well, but didn’t look all that good. All on Bolton now.

That linesman should be getting demoted after that decision. They cannot raise their flag until the passage of play has finished, in case it wasn’t offside. In that case it was far too close to call and VAR may have given onside. Awful officiating. That may have cost Bayern an equaliser

Clyde1998 1-1 - really stupid penalty to give away.

And it’s sent them out.

Just have to hope Bolton do their job now.

1-1 - really stupid penalty to give away.

1-0 Peterborough.

traff Technical question about Saturday.

I am bringing along three kids to the game. Was refreshment outlet open at the last match?

As Royals and Racers says, no. The retail park by the ground is there. They're not going have any issue with you bringing stuff with you either.

Fiorentina are back in the Conference League final after a 1-1 draw with Club Brugge (4-3 on aggregate). They'll play the winners of the Aston Villa-Olympiacos tie at the Agia Sophia Stadium in Athens (AEK's stadium).

Pete O'Rourke (SportsPeteO) from FootyInsider is saying Mola was offered a deal and that the prospective new owners changed the terms leading to talks stalling and him leaving - putting 'a host of Championship clubs on alert'. Pete O'Rourke @SportsPeteO A host of Championship clubs are on alert for...

What embargo/restriction will we be under if the takeover goes through? Are we still looking at free transfers/out of contract players only? Aren't we still under an embargo for the next 2 transfer windows? If so , it will just be freebies and loans and at least last season's acquisitions show what...
