As much use as a chocolate teapot

I love chocolate! They're not even that functional.

I see we haven't signed this letter by Fair Game that the BBC/Mirror (who are running a campaign on it) have done a story on...

Premier clubs in talks to play an extra set of league games in USA at the end of a season.

Surely they'll be too knackered?

Not sure if this has been mentioned here or elsewhere so apologies if it has, but seems like the national league are in talks with the prem about a competition between 16(?) NL teams and 16 prem u-21 teams. Probably explains why they agreed to scrap replays?

Managed to find the article finally which was on The Athletic (Looks like it's a free article?). Now in the York Press as well.
