Off to see Ferencvaros vs Gornik Zabrze in the next hour or so.

Watching Fenerbahce v Sturm graz, apart from Greenwood scoring a stunner (no thank you), they show adverts at the bottom of the screen during play breaks, coming to a screen near you I fear.

Is that any different from advertising hoardings though? Which as any fu kno have been a thing since before all the streakers started doing the entertainment.

Like this 10 second sub rule. Gonna cause choas next season though.

Also is the 1st round of the league cup being scheduled for the weekend before league starts a new development?

Yes, its to stop them having to play 3 games in the first week.

I'm sure it's a terrible corruption of the game but I quite like the idea.

I enjoyed that Wrexham are out the cup before the season has even begun.

Villa have sold Lucas Digne to PSG for £8.5m. That's quite a few high-profile sales for them this summer ahead of a Champions League season.

Not even a lot of money. Presumably his salary was monstrous, or he had an exit clause.

They've been trying to get rid of him for a while, we've been linked to him a couple of times.

I know he's probably going as a back up, but an odd move, I've always thought he was bang average at best.

Derby's takeover has collapsed, which is probably a good thing for them.

Seems to be some suggestion that Derby's comms team accidentally put out a post on social media for a short time confirming the takeover. It was hastily taken down but not before several thousand people had seen it.

They must have been very confident the deal was going through to have had all that stuff ready to go.
