Two quite interesting stories in the news this morning

1. Top clubs to demand automatic champions league spots regardless of qualification as part of new champions league tv deal. Utter c***s!

2. Linesmen to go professional. Not sure how I feel about that. Aim is to drive up standards but does being a linesman really deserve a salary of ?35k a year plus ?400 a match? Most will be on ?50k a year. I may look at a career change!
