Sad reports about Ginola, so hope he's better than the news sounds. 
Good yes from a sporting point of view, but it means less money for the some of the smaller clubs (less home games) which could apparently equate to a 10% loss of income each season.
Given that they need 65 out of the 72 clubs to agree to this, that sounds like a tall order if a fairly large financial incentive isn't agreed, one large enough to qualm any fears.

Personally I reckon this is an awful idea. Less games, no midweek games under the lights, less match day revenue for the smaller clubs and all because the EPL wants to be able to field B teams in the football league.
The second a B team gets fielded will be the day the Football League starts to die.
Yes, very sad news

There'll still be midweek cup games, but midweek league games are awful things now that the lower leagues aren't geographically based. The finances around away fixtures do hurt them.

Stupid jocks.
Something a little different. I attended premiere of Bo66y last night at Wembley Stadium:

First time a film has been shown at Wembley and a fitting tribute to the country's greatest footballer. Out on general release this week and available to buy on DVD/Blu Ray. Don't miss it.

That title is making me sad. as if it wasn't bad enough that games keep replacing e's with 3's.
