Hi The C of E, I love this article - what an interesting subject! Review follows: article created 27 April; article exceeds minimum length, is well written and cited inline throughout to what look to be reliable sources (I am familiar with most, but not all of them); I didn't pick up any issues with overly close paraphrasing from the sources cited; hook is interesting and mentioned in the article; I also think a hook on Saint-Étienne buying the posts after blaming them for their 1976 loss would be interesting, but happy to go with the proposed hook if that's what you think is best; QPQ carried out. My only concern at the moment is that "graced" might be a little peacocky, perhaps it could be replaced? - Dumelow (talk) 08:40, 28 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

@Dumelow: I have replaced that word with "used at". The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 10:01, 28 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

Thanks The C of E, good for me - Dumelow (talk) 10:33, 28 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
