Bravely went to Juve vs Inter in Turin on Saturday, to see if I could do it cheaper from London than Sunderland vs Brentford two weeks earlier. Can I just shock you?

I flew to Italy to watch Juventus... and it was cheaper than going to a Premier League game
Exorbitant cost of rail fares at home mean flying to Italy is cheaper, but how do the two match-day experiences compare for value for money?

I really enjoyed the Birmingham Tom Brady doc, found it far more interesting than its many similar predecessors, largely because it makes no attempt to paint Brady as cuddly / relatable. It's funny, too
