My flatmate (who is a Brazilian) hates Neymar and is not happy with this. I think she’s just jealous.

Most of the theories in this thread feel true:

incredibly bored so i want to hear peoples favourite football ‘theories’. for example, i throughly believe liverpool play chelsea 5 times a season and although newcastle are away today im pretty sure they play 37 home games a season

Aston Villa, Burnley, and West Ham are the same club and you can't tell me otherwise.

A lot of those are really good though and Burnley sure show up a lot.

Edit- My brother suggested the Mbappe has been 19 for 4 years.

I'm not sure I get any of those, me.

The one about Rotherham never being in league one or the championship but always in both is true.

 

I'm gonna go with Brighton are just randomly given points throughout the season, they never actually play any games. Pretty sure I looked through our fixtures and we don't play them.

The EFL and Papa John’s have today announced a three-year deal that will see the UK pizza takeaway company become the Official Title Sponsor of the EFL Trophy.

The exclusive partnership, which will run until at least the end of the 2022/23 season, sees the competition, become known as the ‘Papa John’s Trophy’ with immediate effect.  In addition to the title sponsorship, Papa John’s will also be the Official Pizza of the EFL.

I imagine the Papa John's trophy will be like their pizza: painfully mediocre but comes with lots of garlic butter dip.

Is Shaq popular in the UK? If so, you'll get a lot of him too

[Gazz]

Yeah, Shaq plays for Liverpool.

[gunnar hendershow]

Papa John's being the official sponsor of the 4th or 5th most prestigious domestic trophy in England is an extremely Papa John's thing to do.

7th at best. 8th if you count the Community Shield as an actual competitive trophy.
