Ah the fickle fans of hate. This ever-so-slightly adapted pic is a bit harsh IMO…yes there have been “odd decisions” for want of a better phrase, and selling the rights to rename St James Park is the latest, but has anyone stopped to thing where the Toon might have been without Mike Ashley?
As a Gooner , I wasn’t best impressed when the name Highbury was hi-jacked for cash, but you soon get used to it. The world changes, football is business, the FA talk about “the brand” and a bunch of previously deprived kids can now find a path to unimaginable riches – without even having to tackle – but at the end of the day John, it’s still a game. And we love it.
We might only get 4 Premiership kickoffs at 3pm on a Saturday, we might still wonder why one man in black is given the responsibilty to make a decision worth millions and we are all bought up to hate traffic wardens, but we’re still here, right?
As you may already know, the Ukraine football association has decided to licence England’s qualifier with Ukraine on October 10th for an Internet-only broadcast. This means it won’t be on any TV channel in the UK, nor will it be available in the pubs.
The early-bird cost is £4.99, rising to £11.99 on the day. I won’t go into how wrong I think this is, but what I can tell you is that if you follow the link below (make sure you use the link below!) you can watch the game online for free. All you need to do is open an account with Bet365 and put some money in it, you don’t even have to lay a bet!
