One of the twitter "tipsters" had a load of his followers bet big on there being a goal in the last half an hour or so last night. Needless to say, the reactions were priceless. 

He has a few hundred thousand followers, but his challenge tips are 1/4 shot bankers that fail at the first hurdle a lot of the time.

All of those tipsters are in the pocket of the big bookies, basically all they do is win easy bet after easy bet but keep rolling the stakes over, until inevitably one doesn't come off and you lose the lot. Of course you can play it sensibly and pull out some along the way, but sensible people aren't the target for these folk.

UEFA plan to ruin the Champions League

GENEVA (AP) — UEFA is considering a proposal to change the Champions League in 2024 in a way that would move toward a closed-off competition favoring elite clubs over rivals from smaller domestic leagues.

Documents seen by The Associated Press propose that 24 of the 32 teams in the 2024-25 group stage would retain their lucrative places the next season regardless of where they finish in national domestic leagues.

The documents match the aims of the influential European Club Association (ECA) which is competing for influence at UEFA with the European Leagues umbrella group.

The proposal would create eight-team groups kicking off in August, and narrow the entry path for teams from winners of lower-ranking leagues.

The system, if approved by UEFA next year, would guarantee at least 14 Champions League games instead of the current six for each club, earning them tens of millions of euros (dollars) in extra revenue from broadcasting and sponsor deals struck by UEFA. The 16-team knockout stage would be retained, with seven further games for the two finalists.

The Italian Football Federation (FIGC) has confirmed Cagliari will face no action after racial abuse was directed towards Juventus players Moise Kean, Alex Sandro and Blaise Matuidi during their match on 2 April.

Kean reacted to the monkey chants by celebrating in front of the home supporters after scoring the second goal of the game and was criticised by teammate Leonardo Bonucci for his reaction – comments he later backtracked on after widespread condemnation.

Yet despite taking six weeks to investigate the incident, FIGC confirmed on Tuesday that no action would be taken against the Sardinian club because the chants had “an objectively limited relevance”.

The decision was immediately condemned by anti-racism organisation Kick It Out in a post on Twitter: “Embarrassing. Pathetic. Disgraceful. Racism will never be kicked out of football while decisions like this continue to take place - @FIGC should hang their heads in shame.”

Allegri is leaving Juventus.

Can't be a coincidence that Big Tony Pulis is no longer Boro manager now

I know you all missed this after last year... so here are some pics of last night's party for Benfica's 37th league title:

This one was somewhat special because by January 2nd we were 7 points behind Porto and finally sacking Rui Vitoria, so nobody expected that we could turn it around and win it. Bruno Lage took the wheel as interim manager and won 18 matches, drew only once and never lost a league match. We equaled our previous goals scored record of 103, from the sixties, in the process. All and all, a really wild season.
