Emery signs a new contract with Sevilla, running until 2017.

He won the EL with Atlético, which was quite a big deal at the time. Their first trophy in 15 years. EDIT: Disco'd

Quique Flores is hardly a manager to get excited about tbf.

I can't see what's wrong with it; if Elche have competed without following the rules, they deserve their punishment. Eibar in particular are extremely well-run.

Confirmed: Elche have been relegated to Liga Adelante due to debt to the taxman. They can still appeal the decision, but it's increasingly looking like curtains for the club; they also have outstanding debt with players and staff that could see them relegated again to Segunda B. Eibar will now stay in the top division.

Still. 2003-2005 era is a glorious mess of manager after manager. That's where I got my misses.

He was a caretaker, tbf.

86% Madrid Mastermind

Except that he wasn't managing the Old Firm. It's like winning the SPL with Dundee. McClaren's record is very spotty, but winning the Dutch league with Twentee was a damn impressive achievement.

Yeah, I was looking forward to him putting it to Suárez on a platter.

Until 2019. Surprising given that the rumors were that he wanted out. Good news, he's a great player to have in our squad.

Looks like Chiellini is out of the final...

Hopefully he'll provide entertainment other than the weird half-geordie accent he'll develop in a few months.

Less IIRC; Xavi's the Spanish footballer with the most trophies, though. Xavi has 24 for club + 3 for country.

Ba?

It's gonna be tough; if things stand as they are Valladolid, Sporting and Zaragoza are a quality crop of playoff rivals.

Xavi received a homage from the club and players today, before the team leaves for Berlin. He started crying at the end. He also posed with all the trophies he's won. :'(

They are from his agent's youtube account.

New York's City midfield is certainly going to be dynamic next season.

That's because he doesn't play for Elche: http://www.cfalfas.es/ver_jugador.php?cod_jugador=587&cod_equipo=cadete_a Bonus:

Explains the sudden burst of arse-kissing. Yep - quite amazing how many of these c***s will sell their soles for a few pennies. Any hard earned credibility is lost forever. Tbf I don't think you can get much more than a few pennies for a shoe sole.

Mike Ashley's pushed you into the dark pits of gloryhunting, TCD?

That was poetry.

Luís Enrique has invited Totti to the CL final. Roma's captain has accepted. I thought they didn't end in the best of terms...

Rather zombie Havelange with Blatter, Al Capone and Lucifer as his aidés than Figo. May he rot in hell for all eternity.
