What price a scandalous West Germany-Austria stitch-up by the two clubs?

We wouldn't...they wouldn't...would they...?
Wouldn't think so

We would, they wouldn't.

That game finished 1-0. Nobody would want to be Austria

I read about that recently (assume you mean that Sunderland thing). Staggering.

Seven of Aston Villa's last 10 Premier League games have been 0-0 at half-time.
They have won just one of the eight Premier League games that Christian Benteke has missed this season, scoring only six goals in the process.
It is now 17 months since Swansea last won two Premier League games in a row.

Hmm...

Yep. The Mackems haven't, and will never, forgive him.

Is what Hill did any different to us flashing up goals as they happen on the screens? I know it was over a tannoy back then but surely the principal is similar? I even remember the old electronic scoreboard flashing up Ipswich latest scores when they weren't winning a few times.

Hill reportedly sent a message down to the bench to his manager to instruct his team and the opposition of the score and if they played out a draw they'd both be safe. The remaining minutes of the game were a farcical scene of two teams playing unchallenged keep ball. It was a fair but more serious than flashing scores up I think.

Swansea to win 2-0. I hope I am wrong. A Sunderland/ Cardiff draw would be great.

It happened a few seasons back, Man. United needed a point to win the league, Blackburn needed a point to stay up and they just let MU pass the ball around in their own half for the last 5 minutes.

A point would suit both tomorrow and this game usually ends in a draw anyway.

He also manufactured some crowd congestion nonsense excuse to start Cov's game 15 minutes late. That's the biggest thing.

Well I'm at a wedding today, so avoiding this. I really hope I'm pleasantly surprised when I see the score.
