  1. 60 has got to be the cutoff point for managers wearing training shorts/kit like. And that's being generous.
  2. Arsenal have been awful today like
  3. Adam Armstrong seems to be doing well for England U17s.
  4. Looks like Christmas has come early this year.
  5. Dummett and Willo ffs. Beyond a joke that might be our CB pairing for an important PL fixture. Well done to Carr, Ashley and Kinnear. Cunts. Bit harsh on Carr, he pushed for the signing of Douglas (and others we don't know about?)
  6. Onyewu played 1 game for Milan off the bench in a CL qualifier. Worse players have played more games for them.

    Paul Dummett

    He's probably on fuck all.
  8. Great goal from Zapata for Napoli. Can't get near the Colombia squad, great depth up front they've got.
  9. Atletico to be into the last 16 by game 4?
  10. Do you support a Dutch team too? If so which one? The Rotterdam Mackems.
  11. Palace's side is absolutely chronic like. Udinese B would have been a more interesting side to have promoted.
  12. Steven Reid vs Wigan Erik Edman vs Liverpool
  13. I prefer individual dribbles and team goals over hit and hopes, but that Kasami goal was fucking ridiculous technique.
  14. He'll inevitably score a hattrick now
  15. Don't really think Berbatov has been that good a signing for Fulham like
  16. Aye read about them before, they apparently swallowed up a couple of clubs from that area and made the new one I think. "The investment in SSV Markranstädt by Red Bull is not the company's first attempt to enter the Leipzig football scene. In 2006, it tried to purchase FC Sachsen Leipzig, a club with a rich tradition, but also plagued by constant financial trouble. After months of fan protests which deteriorated into violence, the company abandoned the plan.[9]" Seems to be the way forward if they try anything.... Sad thing is they'll probably end up being the premier club in Leipzig. Lokomotive and Sachsen have been stuck in the doldrums for years and there's a huge market for a successful Bundesliga club there. In fact other than Hertha which was a unique situation there isn't any Bundesliga sides from the old East Germany. Hertha weren't in East Germany. They were in West Berlin. I did say that was a different situation, but I wasn't sure which part of Berlin Hertha were in. Well, the club is as old as ours -- founded in 1892. So obviously it predates the division of Berlin and all along had fans on both sides of the city. Players and officials sometimes used to sneak over the Wall for fan meetings, often wearing replica kit under their normal clothes as presents for East Berlin supporters. Two days after the Wall came down, 11,000 East Germans turned up to watch a Hertha match. I don't know where their pre-war stadium was, but after the war and subsequent denazification of sporting institutions, the club was reformed in Gesundbrunnen, which was in West Berlin. They were one of the founding clubs of the Bundesliga in 1963, and from that year also started playing at the Olympia-Stadion in West Berlin. They were never part of East German football. # Interesting.

  18. Exactly, MK Dons happened a decade ago. The Premier League has been commercialised even further since then. Fact is there is now a precident for name change, location change, stadium rebranding, and kit colour change. If Red Bull come in and offer the kind of marketibility they would do, there's no way the PL are going to stand in their way.
  19. I'd like Iceland to get there but Croatia are always a pleasant team on the eye at tournaments. Happy with either of them.
