    300 million it seems .

    “So EPL founders turned their backs on the established duo of ITV and the BBC, and instead formed an allegiance with Sky Sports, who agreed to pay more than £300 million in return for near-exclusivity of which matches would be shown and when”

    Certainly a real drop in the ocean compared to now !

    He may want depth at LWB, though....

    Wonder which one of our 'gems' Edwards will swoop for once he has his Premiership millions. Struggling to think of any.

    Kabasele and Okoye are top of his shopping list.

    He spoke very highly about having watched Bayo before we snapped him up, so he's a shoe in for a £10m bid.

    I'll give you a proper shoo-in if you point out my spelling errors again.

    I hear Udinese have an Ivorian right wing-back Edwards might be interested in...

    Funny how sport works.

    Whilst Coventry dream of Premier league football the rugby club who they shared the CBS with are now having to play in rugby’s 10 tier,

    Sky Blues fans might call it karma ?

    Incredible comeback .

    For once a Ferguson is undone in injury time .

    Can they complete the job ?

    Bad news for us. Peterborough would have struggled next season. SW will be comfortable.

    What a comeback that was by Wednesday. First time a side has ever come back from a 4 goal deficate and gone through to the final. Credit to them.

    Would happily see them win the Champions League every year if we could just get the 2019 FA Cup!

    Didn't watch either of the two Championship second legs (not out of spite, I've been bunged up in bed!), but that kind of ending really makes you jealous, of course we all know that a memorable semi-final does not a successful final make necessarily, but you just want us to play big games again and to not have our season fizzle out so quickly!

    League 1 is clearly more fun than the championship. I wouldn't mind relegation so the footballs a bit more interesting...

    All about the National League, bring it on!

    My second team, Scunny, now in National League North - they know what they are doing.

    Like Luton, if you really want to get into the prem, it's best to have a really good run-up !

    We had a league match at Cumberland and were having supper.

    They had the Spam match on in the bar and golf in the dining room. Mr IBB had texted to say he couldn't get the tennis on so Spam it was over supper.

    When it has finished and we were waiting for the traditional profiteroles I noticed it had changed to Sheff W. I assumed it was a replay of the game but when I looked again I saw the score!

    We listened to extra time on our way back down the Finchley Road.

    Sport is remarkable, who'd be a Posh fan today?

    Luton allowing 6 tickets per season ticket holder .

    Guess that is because they have very limited numbers of STHs?

    Just 39,982 seats for general sale. From their allocation of 40k.

    It must be nice to be fans of a club that sees Wembley as something super new and exciting, rather than somewhere you’ve seen your side play 4 times in (as it then was) 6 years.

    Would Barnsley losing be of benefit to us? Ismael would know a lot of their players, and they did a great job 2 years ago under him, but they are League 1 players ultimately

    How many players do they have from then still at the club ?

    Seem to have a lot on loan tbh .

    Any thread for the League 2 play-offs? Stockport-Salford gone to pens, Mapps missed a penalty for Salford
