That '87 generation... Didn't realised Samir Nazri is currently banned from football.

We should really attack them.

Why do Cardiff have a Chinese (not Welsh) dragon on their crest?

Nah, first pen was a foul by Vietto.

About -30m. The joke then was that the Sissoko money was never spent.

So Lascelles RCB then?

Man City gonna win big on their takeover anniversary.

That was a ridiculous handball.

Where's Schar?

Seri with a nice assist.

2-1 FT. Son gets his military service exemption.

Japan pull one back with 5 mins to go.

Why is it so difficult for me to find live updates of this game? It's on flashscore.

Korea 2-0

Korean Messi scores.

Korea-Japan into extra time.

It's not even on live in Japan. They've been showing the J League, so the broadcast is about to start now one hour behind. Try the Asian Games youtube channel.

Korea all over Japan. Son should get his gold.

10th anniversary of ADUG agreeing the takeover of Man City.

Just switch Watford to the home team. Why must everything be in consideration of Spurs?

So small-time from Rafa and all his fault for not engaging Ashley. Ashley, on the other hand, has been all nice and reconciliatory. #RafaOut

I think the fun that we had during the WC had a good impact on how we view this season. After weeks of great football and amazing entertainment, it feels terrible to come back to another season of darkness. Like many on here, I am thinking of staying away from Newcastle and maybe football until we get a new owner and some hope. Having relentless negativity is draining and takes away the joy of being a fan. Will see how this season pans out but it's such a chore going into the 12th season of mismanagement atm.

Interesting point, I didn't know that. Poch gave Trippier a bit of a break after his kid was born because he just wasn't sleeping well. I don't know if Rafa has that luxury. FWIW, Lascelle's partner is about to give birth too.

Says a lot about the personality and lack of character for Buffon, Pirlo, Zlatan, Gerrard et al that they walked out on their countries.
