Re: European Leagues Thread 2012/2013

Leverkusen's title breaks Kingsley Coman's streak of 11 consecutive league winners' medals with three different clubs (Juventus, PSG, Bayern) - which appears to be a record where a player has played for multiple teams. There are examples of longer streaks in countries where one team has dominated a ...

Re: The Manager Sack Race/Merry-go-Round

Arne Slot of Feyenoord now a front-runner to replace Klopp, with Amorim also now linked to West Ham (as is Lopetegui).

Re: Ups & Downs 23/24

A big 'triangle' of games in the Championship. One of Hull and Coventry will likely finish 7th in the Championship - they play each other tonight, before Ipswich play each of them consecutively ahead of the final round of games.

Re: Weekend Football

Over to Spurs then, who play all three title chasers in the next 12 days.... They play city on May 14th. Oops. Yep, it's Chelsea (a) next midweek, sandwiching fixtures against Arsenal (h) and Liverpool (a). I do hope Liverpool can win at Everton tonight to keep it interesting. Can't see Brighton be...

Re: Weekend Football

Bernardo Silva played 120 minutes against Madrid and then 90 minutes against Chelsea. Matheus Nunes was an unused sub in both. I simply can’t sympathise with big clubs complaining about player welfare with fixture congestion whilst refusing to use their squad’s full depth. Read this view on Twitter...

Re: Weekend Football

I will say it again - VAR should only be used for matter of fact things. Ball over the line, challenge awarded inside / outside the box, offside. Those decisions yesterday were all about opinion and pretty much everyone has one. Let's go back to what we know and pretty much has existed before time ...

Re: FA Cup Changes

Obviously that wasn't what you said and anyone who believes that expanding international tournaments is for the good of the smaller nations is probably just being deliberately obtuse Quite. This whole thing is a lesson in obtuse from GWL. Shockingly. And it remains total bullshit that binning repla...

Re: European Leagues Thread 2012/2013

A proper record in sights for Leverkusen - since the introduction of European competition in the 1950s, the longest unbeaten run in all competitions is Benfica's 48 games (1963-65). The equaliser at the weekend took Leverkusen to 45 games, equalling the second longest such run of Dinao Zagreb and NK...

Re: European Leagues Thread 2012/2013

97th minute equaliser for Leverkusen to keep the unbeaten Bundesliga season going They will just not be beaten. 89th minute equaliser at West Ham last week. On 30th March they beat Hoffenheim 2-1, having been a goal behind after 88 minutes. Two weeks earlier they were 2-1 behind at home to Qarabag ...

Re: Weekend Football

enjoyed the video of the Man Utd fans outside Wembley, who quickly left when Cov thought they got the winner, but then heard it was VAR'd out, running to get back into the ground :lol: I have an Arsenal supporting mate who left our infamous League Cup tie when they were 4-2 down with a minute of no...

Re: Weekend Football

Pretty much defines Antony's time at United that after the club lost a 3-goal lead to a second tier club, narrowly avoided defeat thanks to VAR, and then squeezed through on penalties, he is seen cupping his ears towards Coventry's players after the winning kick. https://twitter.com/MenInBlazers/sta...

Re: FA Cup Changes

On the plus side, its easier for a giant killing over 1 leg than it is over 2. So you may see more giant killings and smaller clubs progressing further and get more prize money that way. Ask an EFL club that has drawn 1-1 at home to City over 90 minutes whether they'd rather chance their arm in ext...

Re: Champions League, Europa League & Europa Conference League 23/24

Silver Fox I only followed the shootout on text but did I read right that Ederson took one of Citeh's penalties last night? That's quite the bottle hob from their outfield lads isn't it?


Was the best one, too. Thunderblasted it into the bottom corner.

Re: Champions League, Europa League & Europa Conference League 23/24

I know it's just a bit of a meme, but I do find it a bit silly that, across social media, Kane is openly mocked. He's the second highest PL scorer in history, and he's gone to Germany and got 39 in 39 games for Bayern. Not to mention his 62 goals for England. This isn't a play who doesn't deliver - ...

Re: European Leagues Thread 2012/2013

How did Schalke get into the UEFA Cup? They won it that season so qualified to be in it again the next Crikey - wonder if they are the lowest placed side to win a European competition in recent times? Edit: was a remarkable run through the competition. This was in the days of it being a two-legged ...

Re: Ups & Downs 23/24

Championship promotion race really hotting up Soton beat PNE 3-0 last night and now sit just 5 points behind Ipswich with a game in hand. That game in hand - Leicester (a) next Tuesday. Soton also finish the season at Leeds. Seems guaranteed that the top 4 sides will all finish with over 90 points,...
