They had locked the gate to get through on the Townley side for the Villa game. There was no way through unless you walked up to the Pep murial at Darley Street. The residents I (briefly) spoke to at the Villa game said it was the council's decision and they weren't happy about it either. Glad...

In other countries different TV companies get the rights to show different nights. This way both companies get one leg each.

This was a rescheduled game which took place in a neutral Turkish venue (random city near the Syrian border). Not many Fenerbahce fans went anyway. You can see the segregation on the half way line and to the left is the Fenerbahce end. Spain, Italy, and I think Portugal all play their...

We'll be leaving at 7.30 when everyone is arriving for the concert at that time? Worst possible kick off time in my opinion when there's an event on.

Cheers for the link. Wasn't meaning to be negative about it, just surprised it's possible in the modern game.

It was a predetermined punishment based on the extent of the breach. No panels required to judge a suitable punishment.

I feel like I've played enough football manager to have a decent knowledge of most established teams in a wide variety of leagues. Have never heard of KFUM Oslo. Googled them and it seems it's basically the local YMCA team in the top flight? How the hell has that happened?

Spoke with one of the stewards at a recent game and there is an agreement in place for when there is a game and an event on. The car park gets split 50:50 apparently. Not sure how they'll control that personally. Think the clashes where we're leaving and the event crowd arriving will be worst -...

Could be wrong but that deadline of April 4th seems a lot earlier than previous years.

Think he has two, suspension at 3 (although that is wiped after quarters). Basically he'll miss the second leg if he was booked in the first but he is available as it stands

3rd tier Saarbrucken through to the semi finals of the DFB Pokkal where they will play 2nd tier Kaiserslautern. Leverkusen (overwhelming favourites) take on Fortuna Düsseldorf in the other game Saarbrucken have beaten Bayern, Frankfurt (sorry @Bembeltown), and now Borussia Mönchengladbach.

If he paid attention then Diaz wouldn't have had any chances anyway. Time and time again this year his positioning and awareness is awful and he relies on his speed to get him out of shit situations he causes. He's been woeful going forwards and woeful going backwards all season, but he was...

Remember one which was like a photoshopped washing powder (daz?) which had the brand name Weaver and tag line, "no.1 for clean sheets"

Was just checking some scores at half time and noticed Aris have reached the Greek Cup Final. Best of luck

Last game of the season so I'd say if they've got a chance of winning the league it would be tricky. Tickets in Spain are relatively expensive and only come on sale very close to the game (most clubs 1-2 weeks before the game). If you register on their website, and pay attention to...
