Okay, we're bossing this. STILL we need to score one more.

Don't fuck this up. Off to the pub.

Having a good season at Rayo. Doesn't look like a player for Chelsea though.

Now, that's a nice bit of trivia. Player to get more apps on loan for a single club. Courtois logged 154 for Atlético.

Simeone's agent (his sister), has announced that he will sign an extension with Atlético. Good for them.

Carver vs Wenger, whoever licks, we lose. http://futbol.as.com/futbol/imagenes/2015/03/17/champions/1426632820_379559_1426632862_noticia_grande.jpg

Nah, I love shootouts with a healthy mixture of great and dreadful penalties.

Yay pens!

They lost to Burnley at the weekend, I think you're safe enough I know, City have looked truly awful as of late. But I just can't get that nagging feeling off my head

Also, today's result has made me uneasy for tomorrow. I just can't imagine the PL not putting a single team in Q/Fs of the Champion's League.

I like Wenger but that's well over the top He also has to take some degree of responsibility for the team's decline.

Aye, he has an obscene midfield behind him. Doesn't stop him being one paced, limited and incapable of creating goals for himself. Aye, get some AAA dude in front of that midfield and it would be stuff of dreams. I still believe Giroud has done better than people credit him for.

Giroud has been on fire as of late isn't he on something like 11 in 17 in the league?

Fuck, I did all my FF transfers yesterday

Atlético-Leverkusen goes to ET

From the Carver thread:

It's been long suspected that match-fixing has been happening in La Liga relegation fights, with clubs trying to buy matches to avoid relegation, and players "selling" themselves to throw matches against relegation-threatened sides; our authorities have been looking to build a strong case to set things straight. This seems the best one they got, thanks to Osasuna's former MD confessing and providing evidence. Allegedly, Osasuna spent €2.4m last season to avoid relegation by fixing their matches against Betis and Espanyol. Funniest thing, they *still* managed to get relegated.

Current Boro player Damià added to the list.

I bet he believes he's been cleverly subtle about it

I could put all the effort in the world in an open-heart surgery. Chances are I'd still get the patient killed. "Effort" is such an overused buzz word in football... Do we see the same terminology banded about so often in Spain VI? Yeah, absolutely. Hate it myself.

So infuriating

''Let me tell you, be brave and hit the ground running''

f***ing hell, I realized I am back to the stage where I feel better when Newcastle lose, so there's nee chance of Carver staying. Sick s***.
