Slappy, I know you are probably hurting....but what a f’ing derby today. That was one of the best matches I’ve seen in awhile.

Inter right now just has too much talent for Milan

The dude is a clown.

In his defense, Berlin teams are all clownshoe operations.

The football/soccer documentary series on Amazon Prime looks good. The first episode focuses on Rwanda and how footie helped the country heal after the 90s genocide. Not exactly light fare, but it ends with a small group of Rwandan Liverpool FC fans making the pilgrimage to Anfield, which was very touching.

The wife of Spurs CB Toby Alderweireld just gave birth to a baby girl 9 months after this game.

Congrats on the celebratory sex Toby.

For what?

For what?

Manchester City banned from Champions League for two seasons. Manchester City have been banned from the Champions League for the next two seasons by Uefa and fined €30m (£25m) after they were found to have seriously misled European football's governing body and broken financial fair play rules.

City were found guilty by Uefa’s club financial control body (CFCB) of having falsely inflated their sponsorship revenues, when they made submissions for the FFP compliance process. The guilty finding follows an investigation sparked by the publication of “leaked” emails and documents by the German magazine Der Spiegel in November 2018.

The “leaked” emails and documents appeared to show that City’s owner, Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed al-Nahyan of the Abu Dhabi ruling family, was mostly funding the huge, £67.5m annual sponsorship of the City shirt, stadium and academy by his country’s airline, Etihad. One of the leaked emails suggested that only £8m of that sponsorship in 2015-16 was funded directly by Etihad, and the rest was coming from Mansour’s own company vehicle for the ownership of City, the Abu Dhabi United Group.

Neat. That means 5th place gets into champions league and potentially down to 8th for Europa.

Postby **Gaucho** » Fri Feb 14, 2020 7:02 pm

So there's hope for United and Arsenal.

Not a chance. Chelsea will be in 5th. Spurs will be 4th just as god intended.

Postby **Gaucho** » Fri Feb 14, 2020 7:09 pm

I meant for the Europa League. They are currently in 9th and 10th. I mocked them and you ruined it.

Postby **Dickie Dunn** » Fri Feb 14, 2020 7:27 pm

There’s Champions League and then there’s nothing.

Postby **count2infinity** » Fri Feb 14, 2020 7:30 pm

Until spurs win a Europa cha....haha haha. Couldn’t make it the whole through that one.

Son probably done for the season. Spurs getting to the point where it's difficult to field 11 guys.

Postby **Freddy Rumsen** » Tue Feb 18, 2020 3:14 pm

That's too bad.

Postby **Dickie Dunn** » Tue Feb 18, 2020 3:34 pm

I agree.
