@OllieHolt22 @EwanJM Spot on, it’s a joke they’re blaming uefa

@EwanJM Fair points, Ewan. But Sky could waive their right to the 33 weekend stipulation for Boxing Day.

Bit more to it than that. UEFA expansion means less midweek flexibility. FA Cup ‘exclusive’ weekends. Premier League broadcast agreement obligated to at least 33 weekends, moving all to #BoxingDay drops them under that threshold.

@henrywinter I had a few thoughts Henry - what's stopping top cappers cashing in on the resale markets of a couple games to pay for their trips? For the Euros they had spot checks for ESTC tickets to stop people touting them, but given the circumstances, can/should they do this for the WC?!

"Which side are you on?" The England fan who emailed the FA hierarchy protesting about World Cup ticket prices, and got plenty of coverage in the media and support from other fans, has challenged the FA again. He’s a long-standing England Supporters Travel Club member and his email reflects views of many angry England fans. It reads.... “Nearly 48hrs on from my email, and nearly 5 days on from the fan-mocking pricing being released, we are yet to hear from you. During that period of continued silence, the outrage remains high and very public. You will have received emails along the same lines from other fans, communicating anger which we are ensuring is recognised by the media. “Your silence, and the longer it continues, can only be increasingly regarded as a dismissal of fans’ concerns, threatening to not only create a permanent rupture between the fans and the organisation charged with protecting the game here in England, but also risking toxicity seeping into the relationship between fans and the England squad itself. “Perhaps we are all going to be amazed later this week when Debbie (Hewitt), in her capacity as FIFA VP, delivers a stunning ultimatum to FIFA that meets the moment and damage caused by FIFA’s pricing? We do not hold our breath. “What has become clear is that the roles of FA Chairperson and FIFA VP, being held by the same person, are no longer compatible with each other. Whilst you might argue that it is better to have a foot inside the FIFA leadership tent, as it were, this is outweighed by being complicit in FIFA’s full-on financial assault against fans, demonstrated by continued silence. “It’s time to make a stand. As I said in my previous email, fans fuel the game in many ways. Teams would cease to exist without the outlay on tickets, merchandise and subscriptions. However, those who take that dedication for granted do so at their peril - it is not dedication without limits. “Ahead of awaiting, perhaps pointlessly, a response to this latest email, I ask you one final question: Which side are you on?” @NoContextESTCFB #ENG

@MartinSLewis Practically, how does she expect young people / millennials who got had to pay the higher rate of tuition fees, to be able to save money and buy a house as a first time buyer?

@bennagle17 Class mate! Enjoy it

Sitting at Gatwick Airport about to head back to NYC, and still struggling to put into words the emotions of the last 24 hours. Palace, our Palace, won the cup. Still feel like I could burst into tears at any moment. Those scenes at FT will live with me forever… special memories that so many will never understand. All the miles we’ve travelled over the years. Away trips in the Championship on icy Tuesday nights, Hillsborough in May 2010, Lloyds Bank a month later on the brink of extinction, the Wembley heartbreak in 2016. And now we’ve won a trophy. We did it, we actually did it!! Roll on the European tour ❤️💙 #CPFC

@glastonbury @rodstewart Looking forward to him doing the FA Cup draw

We're excited to announce that Sir @RodStewart will play the Sunday teatime legend slot at Glastonbury 2025.

If this was a Tory politician I’d be shocked but Labour? Disgraceful.

@whelsyn2 How much?

Anyone selling 3x Austria vs France tickets in Düsseldorf? Meet in Düsseldorf #euro2024 #eurotickets #euro2024tickets #austriatickets #francetickets

@danielsmith0410 Still selling mate?

@FootyAccums @OnsOranje Anyone who’s ever been to apres ski in Austria should know this one

It's safe to say the Netherlands fans have arrived in Hamburg for their game vs. Poland today... 🟠🟠🟠 📹 @OnsOranje

@CPFC_Cal Guehi was good but it was clear that Palmer was told to come inside to provide space for Walker to keep width. Palmer also created best chance for Kane…

Wait a second, what? Guehi was genuinely really good? Crisp with his passing between the lines and switching the play, won the majority of his aerial duels and make two crucial blocks Palmer, meanwhile, refused to hold the width and floated about doing fuck all (again)

@EnglandOnOurWay Thought Guehi was very good last night

Few opinions on last night FWIW Back line shaky. Guehi not convincing Missing left footed full back for balance Palmer creative Foden mon existent Trent good when he came on Kane coming too deep Gordon very raw Mainoo too safe with passing Real stuff starts a week tomorrow

@ReubenPinder Agree, but he loves him for some reason. Most like Stones in terms of playing out

Taking Dunk over Branthwaite is wild

@ReubenPinder He can do that job next to Rice. Would love to see Wharton in some games though. However I am biased on Wharton too - backed him at 6s to make the plane.

@robbaney Unfortunately I don’t think there’s space, but he can be a really effective impact sub

Acknowledging my bias, he’s surely played himself onto the plane. None of our other midfielders pass through the lines like him

@ReubenPinder I’d start Wharton over Mainoo I think but I’d want Gallagher in there

@robbaney Him or Mainoo to start next to Rice I think. Gallagher did well tonight but is much more effective in advanced areas
