Re: Sky and EFL package
Am I in the minority that it doesn't affect my efforts to get on the Turf whether it's on TV or not? I live in Newcastle, but when I'm picking matches to attend, I NEVER look to see if it's on TV before I book tickets. Not the Turf so much but definitely for away games, particularly the more expens...

Re: Been with your Mrs for 30 years and don’t love her.
It is hard to care about a game that realistically has nothing riding on it. It felt to me in the stadium like nobody really believed we could do it, whereas prior to the Wolves game we'd given ourselves a glimmer. I'm sure with some more meaningful games last year and hopefully something to play fo...
