Village Idiot

Incidentally, scheduling a midweek league game at 18:30 is to piss at the mouth of Sporting fans. But the CL (and the tellies) reign supreme.

Halilovic doesn't want to go back to Barça, it seems

Four rotations for us too. Mostly the entire backline. We'll see.

Good player for that level.

Why? I just hate looking at the table and it not being the real table, because some teams have games in hand so you might be 3 points above rel but not really, because WBA have a game in hand against City who are still in the cup, and shit like that. It doesn't need to be midweek actually, you can put PL games in there instead and play the cup on the weekend. Just don't mix the two the same day.

I'll say it; I hate games in hand, so I'll welcome the FA Cup becoming a midweek competition. Games in hand are a greater evil.

Dunno... I see the cup de-evolving into a borefest where the smaller side tries to battle out a draw in order to play for the pens. Current system motivates smaller sides to come out of the blocks aggressively and try to ambush an overconfident/weakened big side. We've got loads of entertaining games over the years, thanks to this.

Man, Kula Shaker were awesome.

That's probably some of the best football I have seen in my life. And I'm a Barça fan. Feel a bit bad about the Cruyff pen though. It was douchebaggy.

Having Alcácer back is a big lift for them.

The manager would do.

Oh fuck, I think I'll turn off the telly.

I'm suddenly reminded about that Welsh Town banner.

Ah, I see Palace lost again.

Really looking forward Valencia - Espanyol later tonight, in a "watching two trains crash" way.

Has only existed for two seasons and it would be hard to argue with any of the choices up to this point. He's just finished a Ballon D'Or year. I find rather incredible that he didn't deserve it at least one month before January 2016.

Market pool money (derived from the sale of CL TV rights to a given country) is split between teams depending on their performance. Juventus took the lion's share of Italy's because other teams underperformed. We had to split with Atlético and Real Madrid which got deep into the competition.

Or if this was an American sport. Liverpool would have threatened to move to London.

It was a long time ago, but Van Gaal always gave a lot of free reign to our wingers.

Fantastic strip.
