Millwall FA Cup Quarter Final Confirmed as Sunday 17th 2pm on BBC (merged threads) in The Big Board

It’s probably an initial allocation of 1900. I’m sure if they want them they’ll get the full 4500. Edit: the Derby website says they have an...561 replies | 42473 view(s)

06-02-2019, 19:46No it’s not. Nantes had sold Sala to Cardiff. The deal was done. What happens after that is nothing to do with Nantes. While a Nantes player Nantes...76 replies | 4467 view(s)

03-02-2019, 23:00Yes £35-40,000 does technically read as £35 all the way to £40,000. However I’m sure that it’s obvious what you actually mean. The other way you...23 replies | 837 view(s)
