@TheRam in answer to your question, this is who she is

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I saw her at my local Woolies around Christmas time and there were no groupies or paparazzi or anything. She was in the fruit & veg section.

Looks like the premier league will have a fresh team of sorts next year.

Luton Town v Coventry to play off for the 3rd promotion spot.

Luton Town got relegated as the Premier League began in 1992 and haven't been in Top Flight since.

Coventry City havent been in the Premier League since 2001.

Since watching the "Sunderland till I die" series, got a soft spot for them and been keen to see them get back to the PL. Maybe next year....

Yeah with Newcastle up and about it would be great for that rivalry to startup again playing in the same division.

Good to see Luton Town back, old Eric Maucomb would be turning in his grave

One of the funniest men I ever saw growing up.

The promotion playoffs are about as desperate as it gets. Outside of a freaking WC or domestic cup final, you don't see that level of desperation. It's deadset all or nothing.... They are generally the best games of football to watch on the calendar....

Yep.
That is why promotion and relegation between divisions is such a great thing!!

So the Hatters/Luton Town are coming up.

Saw a photo of there stadium its unbelievable with all houses surrounding it and some backing onto the ground.

Kenilworth Road: The throwback Luton Town stadium hosting the Premier League

One of England's most famous grounds is set for a major upgrade now Luton Town are promoted.

I wouldn't mind seeing Leicester pull off another miracle and stay up while Everton drop down to the championship.

Would be pretty funny for a biggish club.

Yeh.

I posted some pics in the NRL stadium forum.

The Game - Future NRL Stadiums part II

In your opinion. Many would say a full hill looks way better than a full grandstand, and creates a much better atmosphere. Either way hills are gonna be around for a LONG time in the NRL. Any new comer to the game would not even notice the crowd or stadium - they would be more interested in...

What a strange little ground it is. 105 years old.
Capacity 10039 (all seater), and now in the Premier League.
Go figure?

Worth a lot of Money to stay in the EPL @Suitman probably has the exact number.

Its like winning lotto every year you stay up if you are a battling/middling club who don't have a lot of resources like the big clubs.

My club Fulham have been yo-yoing for the past 6 seasons between Championship & EPL so its nice to remain up for B2B years have some stability finally and we were pretty safe early on in the piece so relegation was never a chance which was nice.

Its something like 320 million dollars for staying up in the EPL.

I just think its funny they dont show this passion for the whole season you finished 4th last FFS!

F**K. WE are going down again. Oh well that's what happens when you sell your good players without replacing them and change managers 4 times in a season.
It's been a fun 3 years, now back to another 20 in the lower grades
