Wrexham might just do it
They have the money, the desire, and getting good players to move there is getting easier by the day
Who doesn’t want to be part of history?
And who doesn't want to be on the telly? There's bound to be a few ex-EPL players who want to be the next Vinny Jones
If the money and opportunity is right.
Cardiff RFC sold more shirts in any one season when Lomu joined them.
Imagine someone like Messi joining Wrexham and being on a wage plus % of shirt sales.
The completists would buy a shirt. The fans would buy a shirt. The plastic supporters would definitely buy a shirt.

I really enjoy the series. So much that so I'm happy to call Wrexham my second favourite team

@MiketheSnow I didn't realise there were so few Welsh players in the squad (more Irish than Welsh according to Wiki). Someone should have spoken to Gareth Bale.

Apparently they baited him on social media for a while. He's having too much fun playing tennis and golf

UCL Semi-Finals
Arsenal froze a bit, conceded an early goal to PSG and were possibly a bit unlucky not to get an equaliser - but it could have been worse. Tough gig to go to Paris and win by 2 given how PSG have dominated English teams there this season but always a chance from a set-piece.
Barcelona v Inter - what a crazy game. Inter 2 up after 20, 2-2 by half-time and 3-3 by the end. Barca could have had more (Lamal was awesome) but they play such a high line they make Ange's Spurs look cautious and are always likely to concede. Some great goals in this game, find highlights if you haven't already.

The goals alone in that second semi were priceless, agree with KP find some highlights

Evanilson red card rescinded … impact on match though huge. Doesn’t help us now

It seemed a harsh call although it looked ugly he definitely slipped. Ait-Nouri stood on Bernardo Silva in today's game and they rightly ruled it not a red although the still shot was bad.

Evanilson has final say as the double completed over the gunners. Europe still possible but stuffed up many of the easier games

The race for the conference league spot is all on, providing Palace don't win the FA Cup, otherwise it looks like Villa will end up there.

Trent Alexander- Arnold has confirmed that he is not signing a new contract with Liverpool and that he will leave the club after 20 years with them on 30th June.
Almost certainly the 26-year-old Right Back will sign with Real Madrid on July 1st.

20 years WTF

Sounds like it was a classic to befit the first leg

Inter were my pick to win in from the round of 16 onwards (said this to a couple of mates) and now they're making every post a winner.
Man U and Betis to win the Europa and Conference leagues are my other picks too.

It has become easier to win the Europa and Conference leagues if you qualify for them without the bumping down of failed UCL and Europa teams. Bodo-Glimt v Spurs second leg will be fascinating given the home record of the Norwegian team and Spurs being somewhat flaky.

Somewhat? We can't stop anyone

The game was mega.
Yamine Lamal is out of this world.
Shearer summed it up best:
We expected a good game, but this? Thank you Inter Milan, thank you Barcelona for providing us with incredible entertainment and two great football matches.
"What we have witnessed has been something very special. It's been a pleasure to be here." -

Yup i think people are sleeping on this 2nd leg. It's so bloody cold up in Bodo that it makes it tough for any traveling side up there. Like playing the Drua in Fiji in Super Rugby, but with completely opposite climates.

I think playing them in May shouldn't be too bad - better than February anyway. Bodo have lost all of the away games in their Europa League run - and won all of their home games. Interesting.
PSG v Inter final - should be a good one. Didn't see this morning's game, reports were that Arsenal channeled 1980s Wimbledon in their approach to get it in the mixer - that's one way to avoid the press.
