wacko

Aye. If there's one thing that 20 years of supporting Liverpool has taught me, it's that we don't win the fucking league.

Much more so than the one against you. But wtf was the defender thinking?

Not a bad first half.

Aye. Germany's a bit weird, like. Bayern Munich are obviously very good, but other than that, there's little correspondence between city size and quality of the club. The 10 largest cities are Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, Cologne, Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Düsseldorf, Dortmund, Essen and Leipzig. Of those, only Munich and Dortmund have big clubs. Essen is a particularly bad joke, with Rot-Weiß playing in the same division as the B teams from nearby cities (Düsseldorf, Gladbach, Dortmund).

They damage teams? They took Neymar away from Barcelona and I still can't get over it. Teams? They damage football. Whenever some stupidly rich fuck rolls up and throws hundreds of millions at a club, it's basically a cheat code.

Ein Leben lang, blau und weiß ein Leben lang!

Understandable. There but for the "grace" of Ashley goes NUFC.

YEEESSS! Aren't they? Not really surprising, tbh. I can't imagine Tuchel commands much respect in the dressing room. Everyone round here (BVB and Schalke fans) assumes he got hired due to some kind of mix up.

It's not a criticism of her, but that's grim. I imagine a good part of that—and I believe it's not uncommon with depression—is that he kept his struggle so completely to himself for decades that it came entirely out of the blue even for the woman he'd spent almost his entire life with.

I reckon his first priority will be comfortable survival, and beyond that he'll focus on a decent cup run.

Doesn't sound like you have, but you definitely have paperwork relevant to the investigation.

No fan of his, but there's no denying that Placcy Ronaldo is a very, very good footballer.

Unless…

What a complete idiot. Books into the same hotel as the team, in a room overlooking where he's gonna plant the bombs. Orders thousands of put options from right there, then writes some half-arsed "for the glory of Allah" letter, guaranteeing that these fellas will be coming for him. http://www.lr-online.de/storage/scl/xmliosimport/tdt/3335845_m1t1w500q75v54745_201503201023-G895E98D7.1-ORG.jpg?version=1426904724

Iko iko unday.

Welp, the Schalke game went down in an entirely Schalke fashion. Dortmund out, Bayern out, Schalke dreaming of winning the UEFA Cup on the 20th anniversary of their last win. All falls apart in the last few minutes.

Aye. They received a third claim of responsibility. All of Germany's loonies are queuing up to claim this one. It'll probably turn out to have been vegan, gay, Muslim, fascist Schalke ultras.

That's interesting, 'cos he pulled out of a few deals at LFC because the price was a couple of million too high. Glad to see he's changed his tune.

They do that a lot, don't they? Perhaps it's so Allah knows who gets the virgins.

Yeah. Here it is. Personally, I'm finding "letter found at scene" more credible than "random forum post" at the moment.

Local news is reporting they've found a letter from Islamists claiming responsibility. Fuckers were after our local shopping centre a month ago.

10 points clear of third place and strolling back into the Prem. Who is this Babalooba eejit?
