You just know Man Utd are going to shithouse a 1-0 win in their next game against Liverpool. Fred will probably score with his arse.

Football supporters could have more influence over the way their clubs are run under plans announced by the Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn.

He said that a Labour government would legislate to ensure that supporters’ trusts had the right to appoint, and sack, at least two members of a club’s board of directors.

Labour would also legislate to give supporters’ trusts the right to purchase shares in a club when it changed hands.

“A football club is more than just a club, it is an institution at the heart of our communities,” said Corbyn, an enthusiastic Arsenal fan.

“Clubs are part of the social fabric that binds us together. They are too important to be left in the hands of bad owners who put their business interests ahead of everything else, marginalise supporters and even put the financial security of clubs at risk.”

Corbyn announced the plan as part of a package of proposals that he said would “empower fans” and improve football governance.

Labour is committed to reviewing the way football is run, ensuring that the Premier League invests 5% of its income from TV rights in the grassroots game and enforcing legislation designed to stop ticket-tout websites selling tickets at inflated prices.

It also wants to ensure that the Women’s World Cup is included in the list of key sporting events broadcast free-to-air, and improve access to stadiums for disabled people.

Corbyn said that football clubs should be run in the interests of supporters, not their wealthy owners.

“Sport must be run in the interests of those who participate in it, follow it and love it, not just for the privileged and wealthy few. We will ensure that supporters have a say over how their club is run and review how fans can have more of a say about how all of our sporting bodies are run,” he said.

He also said that staff working in football clubs would benefit from Labour’s plans to ban the use of zero-hour contracts and introduce a living wage worth at least £10 an hour.

Harvey Elliot has been suspended from club football for 14 days and fined £350 for that video he made mocking Harry Kane.

Did he mock Harry's magic chin or something?

We've resigned Michel Vorm for the rest of the season. 

 

Problems solved.

This means Liverpool will draw doesn't it?

[FLiam]

Nothing then.

We're winning a game of football, and Theo Walcott is playing well.

Seven changes to the Spurs XI. Harry Kane, Toby Alderweireld, Jan Vertonghen and Moussa Sissoko are the players to retain their spots. Dele Alli and Lucas Moura both in from the start.

Tottenham Hotspur: Gazzaniga, Sanchez, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Aurier, Sissoko, Winks, Rose, Alli, Lucas Moura, Kane.
Subs: Son, Lamela, Dier, Foyth, Ndombele, Davies, Austin.

Looks like three at the back, possibly.

What the hell was that disallowed goal about? And why is VAR not being used in times it might actually be of use? Guess those pubic hair offsides are more important.

[Benjamin]

Spurs already down one to the team that's scored the least this season. 

[Lineker]

We are going down!

[Cymbols]

VAR is so fucking bad.

[Colly]

Sounds like VAR made an absolute hash of the Spurs equaliser. To the extent it said No Goal on the VAR check screen. Ffs.

[Lineker]

Top point today!

Levy has played a blinder signing VAR for Tottenham this season
