I'm so happy ange is back in the prem, never doubted him for a second hope he tears those gooner twats a new one
 
MLS in the States (and Canada) does a stupid playoff thing to determine their champion, probably because it was largely founded by NFL owners. Anyway, Vancouver White Caps could clinch a playoff spot with a win yesterday. It was also the birthday of one of their most recent signings, Thomas Müller. How did he do?
A hat trick, with first two goals on penalties and a third from a nice header.
Oh, and Vancouver beat league leaders Philly, 7-0. With the win, Vancouver clinch a playoff spot. (Although in their.. conference? division?... they still trail San Diego and Minnesota.)

Really, MLS needs to drop the gay schedule and playoffs, but I would accept the schedule happening first. (Which rumors are could happen in the next 5 years.) With 30 teams, I don't see how a round-robin could work, and I doubt owners who paid upwards of $2 billion for a team, would allow a pyramid. (In spite of what the UCL is doing with their proposed top-tier league.)

The White Caps CEO talked to Jan Fjørtoft's son on their fussball channel on youtube, which was interesting as well:

Grim despite them listening two different win ratios. Which are both grim.

We are only 3 matchdays into this new season and after the last one Leverkusen kicked ten Hag. Today Borussia Mönchengladbach followed and kicker their coach Seroane.
3 matchdays and already 2 coaches are kill :jaceknife:

For me, it's Sheffield United sacking Reuben Selles after 6 losses, no wins or draws in the Championship (meaning they're doing worse than Wednesday, a team rapidly spiralling down the drain).

Who is their new coach? Why, Chris Wilder of course! Back 3 months after failing to win promotion and for his 3rd stint as manager in like 5 years. It's amusing how he always ends up back there

I am convinced that Sheffield United can't give Wilder PTO time so they fire him whenever he puts in a vacation request and then rehire him when the vacation is over
 
Champions League starts today and I'm not hyped and only barely interested but Frankfurt qualified so I guess I have at least to follow the league phase.

Our schedule is Galatasaray (H), Atletico Madrid (A), Liverpool (H), Napoli (A), Atalanta (H), Barcelona (A), Qarabag (A), Tottenham (H) and I'd say we are royally fucked. With Gala, Liverpool, Napoli and Barcelona we face four league champions, two of them being hot contenders for the CL trophy this year (Barcelona and Liverpool). Facing Atletico in Madrid will be one tough challenge too. We might have a shot against Atalanta bc they don't look that strong this year. Well, at least for now. So far there were only 3 matchdays in Serie A and they got 1 win and 2 draws so I'd say both teams are at par right now (we have 2 wins and 1 loss). But we lost to Leverkusen this weekend and our first half was garbage. Then Leverkusen caught two red cards and our players the 7 minute overtime in the 2nd half for fighting the Leverkusen players instead of pushing for the 2:2. And the match revealed some major issues in the squad (like the lack of a striker). So not really confident right now. Qarabag is an away match. I know nothing about this team but playing away in Azerbaijan doesn't seem like a match up you can fire up your team for. And then Tottenham at the end. They kicked us out in the quarter finals in Europa League last season and so far they looked heavingly improved over last year.

Last year you needed 11 points to advance to the play-off round. I don't see how we are supposed to make 11 points with all these match ups.

Well, at least Bilbao made it too so I can support them also and hope they'll make the cut.

Arsenal (H) (loss), Dortmund (A) (loss), Qarabag (H) (win), Newcastle (A) (loss), Slavia Prague (A) (win), P$G (H) (loss), Atalanta (A) (draw/win), Sporting (H) (draw/win)

Yeah, that should work out.

After the sacking of Nuno Espirito Santo, there's now no Black managers in the Premier League... and that's a bad thing according to 'Kick It Out'.

I hope that fucking scam of a charity squeals like crazy and goes bankrupt. Fuck these DEI charities who hire a bunch of retards to demand unqualified brown people be put in positions they don't deserve.


Anyways, Arsenal look like they have a very strong squad. Season would be looking really good right now if Liverpool didn't sell their soul to the devil in 2018
 
Wild game in the CL with 8 goals in the second half, and 2 deep into injury time:

They're right. Now that there's no black managers we'll have to sit through endless bullshit about how it's all the fault of racism until another team bites the bullet and hires the token negro.
 
Benfica lost their 1st CL match to Qarabag, then kicked their coach and are now trying to get Mourinho :story:
 
Swansea with an upset win over Nottingham Forest in the Carabao Cup this afternoon/evening. Two stoppage time goals get them the win, with the winner scored by Zan Vipotnik, who’s had an excellent start to the campaign. This after the Swans pissed themselves over the weekend vs Hull City, giving up a stoppage time goal to end in a 2-2 draw.
