Of course, if I was in the UK, I would be at Elland Road - assume you are going

Unfortunately not. We live near Bristol now & Mrs N has made my plans for the morning so won’t be able to take the trek oop north hence the haggling with Sky to watch the game

Yeah, my missus put her foot down too. Don't think it was the cost of a return airfare from Thailand and the fact I would be gone for 4 days but, more that I would be in a bad mood for a week after our inevitable defeat.

This guy is absolute scum.....hope he dies in agony.....but what of Crewe Alexandra,in particular,and their then manager,Dario Gradi,who allegedly knew of the abuse and swept it under the carpet ! Devil incarnate' Barry Bennell sentenced to 31 years

Ex-football coach Barry Bennell has been jailed for 31 years at Liverpool Crown Court for 50 counts of child sexual abuse.
Bennell, described as the "devil incarnate" by the judge, was convicted of abusing 12 boys aged eight to 15 between 1979 and 1991.
Judge Clement Goldstone QC said Bennell, 64, was "sheer evil".
He will serve half of a 30-year sentence in custody, with the rest on licence.
He was also sentenced to an additional year on licence.
'He took my innocence and my career'He took my innocence and my career'
Bennell shook his head as the judge sentenced him and there was clapping from the public gallery as he left court.
"To those boys you appeared as a god... in reality you were the devil incarnate," Judge Goldstone said.
"You stole their childhoods and their innocence."
The judge said Bennell, who worked at Manchester City and Crewe Alexandra, was "hell-bent" on abusing boys, and left a "trail of psychological devastation".
"If the boys tried to resist, you convinced them their football careers would suffer," he said.
Outside court, victim Andy Woodward said: "No sentence is long enough for that man and right to the death he didn't show any remorse or say sorry to anyone.
"I'm proud that I did speak out. If I hadn't have done, we all wouldn't be stood here now today."
Another victim, Micky Fallon, said: "Today we looked evil in the face and smiled because, Barry Bennell, we have won."
Gary Cliffe, another victim, said: "We did not forget, we came after you, Bennell, and now you are in prison due to us."
He urged other victims to come forward, saying: "The hurt is not yours to carry, it is his."
And Chris Unsworth added: "This is a testament that love will always conquer evil."
In a statement outside court, Bennell was described as a "predatory paedophile" by Cheshire Police's detective inspector Sarah Oliver.
"To this day there is no evidence that he has any remorse or regret for the dreams he has shattered and the lives he has damaged," she added.
She said that although "no term of imprisonment can ever return a childhood taken away... I hope that this sentence will serve as a beacon of light to others that have been abused".
Bennell, the judge added, was likely to die in prison.
Bennell worked for Crewe Alexandra and Manchester City's youth teams
Earlier, victim impact statements were read to the court, with one saying Bennell "took his one and only childhood".
Another statement, from a man abused when he was aged 12 to 13, said: "I did not want it, did not ask for it. That monster decided it was fun to use me as a sex toy."
Bennell was previously convicted of of child abuse on three occasions. He received jail sentences in the UK and in the US in 1995, 1998 and 2015.

You can take the guy out of Liverpool ... but

COUTINHO'S BARCA HOME BURGLED

Philippe Coutinho's new home in Barcelona was burgled on Monday night while he was out for dinner with his family.

The former Liverpool playmaker, who moved to the Nou Camp in January for a club-record £146m deal, returned to his home in the early hours of Tuesday morning to make the discovery.

Sky Sports News understands the burglars had left the property before Coutinho and his family returned and no significant items of value were stolen.

A note was found on the kitchen table which read "Dis is bang outa order mate, where are ya hiddin' ya La Coste tracksuits, yer white socks, Burberry caps, woolly Benny hats, and Reebok trainers, dares nowt ear we can sell down da pub"
