Surprised there's just 60 miles between the two places, pretty much the same as Newcastle to Carlisle. You just think of Coventry as a midlands club and Luton as another southern club, but they're pretty close geographically.

As a neutral, the best one I've seen was Hearts throwing it away in 1986.

 

The scenes of crying fans were genuinely quite touching.

 

Obviously Liverpool 1989 as well, but that wasn't touching, just fucking hilarious. 

 

Only needed a draw against Dundee if I recall :lol:

It’s why I don’t bother watching German football. 
 

11 in a row is ridiculous, and the fact Bayern can have a “bad season” and still win it just sucks any optimism out of things and doesn’t suggest there’s genuine competition. 


Only one club in the league can attract established world class players. Bayern will buy a top class forward now and wrap it up for another few years.

I think this will be a really cagey game.

Coventry keep games close and Luton will just be strong, and press for it, but not as much to totally dominate a game.

 

I think Luton will do it, but it will probably be by only 1 goal.

 

If any of these clubs were in any other final, I’d want them up, as it is I’m slightly edging towards Luton, mostly because they can get their new stadium off if they get that money, and that would be good to watch happen.

As for Coventry, they too have had hard times, and we all know about how they were criminally shafted during the war. On top of that their fans have to have the tag of both Richard Keys, and Gary Hoffman being fans, how much can they be forced to endure?

I won’t be disappointed with either of them coming up.

Did Wolfsburg lose on purpose to not go into the Europa Conference League?[emoji38] They needed 1p at home to Herta who is already relegated at last place..

Consequential last day in the Bundesliga. Dortmund-Bayern, Union Berlin make the CL for the first time, Bochum leapfrog Stuttgart out of the relegation zone.

Completely forgot about all the other stuff. Schalke relegated again - they used to be a solid top 6/7 (and higher) side. Gelsenkirchen twinned with Newcastle.

 

So that will probably be Hamburg vs Stuttgart for a place in the Bundesliga (depending on how the former gets on tomorrow) - two of Germany's six biggest cities.

Stuttgart went down the same year we went down the 2nd time under Ashley and have been a yo-yo club since.

They were big when I first started following football, surprising as they are backed by Mercedes as well.

It was never going anywhere other than Munich.

 

It's a really shitty look for that league if they took the only trophy to Cologne and not Dortmund, not that they'll care.

Do they have two copies of the trophy or did they helicopter it in just now? 

 

Koln and Dortmund are quite close together so wouldn't have been an issue.

 

Scottish football on the final day used to do Helicopter Sunday where the chopper moved depending on the current state of play. One of the all time great final day scenes was Scott McDonald scoring twice in the last 3 minutes for Motherwell vs Celtic and the helicopter turning sharply above Fir Park and heading for Easter Road to be presented to Rangers.
