Holy shit, Juve given a 15-point deduction for cooking the books. That’s insane Not the first time they've misbehaved. They were stripped of their league title and relegated in 2006. |

Our FA Cup game is being broadcast live on BBC One tomorrow night  www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/64235263Two days before Wrexham's biggest FA Cup tie for years and there is a problem in the club shop at the Racecourse Ground.
Customers wanting to buy the non-league club's home shirt to wear at Sunday's fourth-round tie with Championship side Sheffield United are leaving empty-handed.
Eight thousand red jerseys have been sold since last summer, with many dispatched to addresses across Canada and the United States.
Demand is outstripping supply and there are no more available at present.
The team from the fifth-tier National League have become big news since Hollywood actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney's shock takeover two years ago.
The pair brought a camera crew along to document their first full season in charge, with the hit series Welcome to Wrexham watched by millions in the United States.
As a result, the north Wales club - close to extinction as recently as 2011 - have attracted a legion of fans from North America and a follow-up series is due for release later in 2023. |

December 2006 had the most ridiculous Premier League goal of the month contest.

A 95th minute equaliser denied Wrexham a famous victory over Sheffield United, but we'll get another shot in the replay.

Extra motivation to win the replay. The reward will be a home fixture against Tottenham.

Napoli with a massive 13-point lead over second place Inter. Everything has gone right for them so far

Should be stripped of their titles if found guilty.  |

They'll probably get a slap on the wrist, that's how these things usually go I reckon they're really in the shit this time. No doubt City will have the best legal defence that money can buy, so this'll be dragged out. They'll be able to wriggle out of some charges, but this was a four year investigation and the number of allegations is enormous, surely they can't all be dismissed. What got them off the hook last time is that UEFA have a time bar for these sorts of things. A club can't be punished by UEFA for things that happened over 5 years ago, that's what got them off the hook. The Premier League have no such rule, some of the charges go as far back as 2009. |

Didn't Pep say last season he was assured by the leadership of no wrongdoing (yes, of course they'd say that) and if they were found guilty he'd leave?

I'm so delighted that we have two world class players, Mario Götze and Randal Kolo Muani, playing for us. I am a Frankfurt supporter since 20 years and this is by far the best football I have ever seen from my club.

Crazy thing is that you have one World Cup hero on Frankfurt, and you could have had two if not for an amazing save on Kolo Muani |

The battle for control of Man Utd ha been narrowed down to Sir Jim Ratcliffe, one of the richest men in Britain, a lifelong Man Utd fan, and Sheikh Jassim, Head of the Qatari national Bank, but in truth he's a front for the entire Qatari state.
Predictably, most United fans prefer the Qatari bid. A nation state can invest far more money than a single individual, regardless of how incredibly wealthy he is.
