To understand more how much money the Premier League brings on, a relegated team from the Premier League this year made more prize money than the champions of a top European League.

When this even caught the attention of the Wall Street Journal, who don't usually care about "soccer" as they call it, you know this is really big

NEW: Sir Jim Ratcliffe, Manchester United's co-owner and Ineos founder, has lost around £2 billion in the past year, with his net worth dropping to £15.194 billion from £17.046 billion, making him one of the biggest fallers on the Sunday Times Rich List

Rising debt (around £10.66bn for Ineos), falling revenues, and a £515.7m loss have contributed to the decline, though he remains the UK's ninth-wealthiest billionaire. Since acquiring his 28.94% stake in United in 2024, the club has cut its workforce by a third, reduced the wage bill, and carries significant debt, but Champions League qualification is expected to provide a major financial boost next season.

No other club outside the Old Firm won the Scottish league since Aberdeen of Sir Alex Ferguson in 1985. This could change tomorrow when Hearts take on Celtic on the final matchday, a draw is enough for Hearts to win the title!

Tomorrow could be a historic day for Scottish football. But still the mission is not easy with Celtic playing home, and a win for Celtic means they retain their title. I'm rooting for Hearts anyway as it reminds me of Sir Alex amazing achievement with Aberdeen!

Today 20 years ago the episode "Go" from the first season aired for the first time on TV on the Fox network

On the 20th anniversary of this very special episode, I thought of making this post about it:

It was the penultimate episode of Prison Break’s first season, serving as the high-tension culmination of months of meticulous planning and underground maneuvering. After countless setbacks, the moment of truth finally arrives for Michael Scofield and his eclectic crew of inmates.

The Breaking Point

The walls are literally closing in. With the threat of discovery at an all-time high and the clock ticking toward Lincoln’s final hours, the group is forced to initiate their daring escape attempt. The episode is built on a foundation of breathless pacing, as every second spent in the dark corridors of Fox River carries the weight of a life sentence—or worse.

A Masterclass in Suspense

The atmosphere is thick with a "now or never" desperation. As the team navigates the treacherous path they’ve carved through the prison’s infrastructure, the narrative switches between:

The Physical Toll: The grueling reality of moving a large group through tight, unstable spaces.

The Psychological War: The simmering distrust between inmates who are forced to rely on one another despite their violent histories.

The External Threat: The constant shadow of Bellick and the prison guards, whose proximity threatens to shatter the plan at any moment.

Every creak of a floorboard and every flickering light feels like a siren. As Michael leads the way into the labyrinthine plumbing and electrical systems, the question isn't just whether the plan will work, but who—if anyone—will actually make it to the other side of the wall.

The episode leaves the audience suspended over a precipice, staring into the dark woods beyond the fence, wondering if freedom is a genuine possibility or a cruel illusion.
