    Unless your aim is to kill off lower league football this is a f**king stupid idea.

    'Only 32% of Premier League starters qualified to play for England compared to 69% 20 years ago' Anyone remember how we got on in the 1994 World Cup

    I was at this last match at Christie Park. My one and only pitch invading moment (apart from forays onto the pitch when I was a ball boy for Birmingham City). Was a cracking night. My abiding memory will be the Daggers keeper, Tony Roberts, joining in with the abuse against him. Legend!

    That would be the 'Do you take it up the arse Tony Roberts, it only weighs a quarter of a pound' song then

    I agree, isn't that what the Premier Reserve League was all about till the clubs decided not to play in it any more and we ended up with an U21s type league? Championship reserve teams could also get promotion to the old Premier Reserve League. It was also split North and South.

    Dyke is an idiot - a classic case of the "chocolate teapot effect" where somebody that nobody likes working with gets repeatedly promoted to avoid - he will've spent all his time in meetings/preparing PowerPoint slides and on jollies touring round Europe making notes of what they do in other countries, surrounding himself with yes-men that will collaborate on a report that says "er... let's try some of those things..."
    none of the "proposals" will actually ever happen, then he can resign in a huff, saying that the "system" is too intransigent... then go on to another well paid job in another field...

    Manchester United legend Sir Bobby Charlton guarantees supporters the club will finish above rivals Manchester City next season. City are on course to win the Premier League title, while United have endured a tough campaign and sacked David Moyes as manager in April. But Charlton, a director at United, says it will be different in 2014-15.
    He said: "Next year I guarantee that we will be number one in Manchester. We like to be first and we will be first."

    David Moyes was named as Manchester United's new manager on a six-year contract on 9 May 2013.
    Happy Anniversary David!
