  1. Why do they think that apologising for a mistake should draw a line under the mistake, Tory MP's saying Sunak apologised so that should be it.  Sunak said Frank Hester apologised about his comments regarding Diane Abbott so that should be the end of the matter, I suppose it has nothing to do with the millions of pounds he has donated to the Tory party.

  2. I just read an article on MSN about the paving repairs  on Charles Street, Wellington and Cambridge streets.

    Heart of the City: Paving repair visible in £470m Sheffield development after different stone used (msn.com)

    The article says the asphalt that they put down as a temporary repair has been removed and new granite paving, almost the same as the original has been laid. What happened to the original paving why was it not placed in storage so they could re-lay it?

  3. Marvellous how the PL top teams want the FA cup matches reduced yet are not complaining about EUFA reformatting their competitions which means more games.

     

    Next season will see men's European club football expand further, with an additional 177 fixtures across Uefa's three major tournaments - and with that comes an increasing impact on the planet.

     

    From the 2024/25 season, teams in the UEFA Champions League will play more games. The format has changed, and here’s what you need to know:

    1. Increased Participation: Instead of the previous 32 teams, 36 clubs will now participate in the Champions League league phase (formerly known as the group stage). This means four additional teams will have the opportunity to compete against the best clubs in Europe12.

    2. New League Phase: In the new format, teams will play eight matches during the league phase. Unlike before, where they faced three opponents twice (home and away), they will now play fixtures against eight different teams. Half of these matches will be at home, and the other half away1.

    3. Seeding Pots: Initially, the teams will be ranked into four seeding pots. Each team will then be drawn to play two opponents from each pot, resulting in a total of eight different opponents. This change allows clubs to test themselves against a wider range of opponents and increases the possibility of top teams facing each other earlier in the competition1.

  4. Well we can't have the big clubs overpaid players getting worn out, they need all their energy for the European trophy competitions, are they not altering the format meaning more matches? They are not bothered about the fans and the clubs outside of the Premier League, all they are bothered about are the big clubs, sooner they disappear off into a European Super league the better.
