Well that was pretty mental

:D Have to have a cig after it?

Well that's a given in any situation. Crazy game though. Commentators at half time laughing off any prospect of West Ham coming back, talking about the 2nd half being a training exercise for Spurs. I'm taking every game as it comes now. Man City next week. Can't expect anything but they have problems of their own, so you never know. To say this season has been unpredictable so far is an understatement.

funny moment in Spanish 5th football league. in the 94th minute, with a 0-1 score


even more bizarrely the name of the winning town is PENISCOLA !!!

R.I.P Maradona

Too many (English) morons are going to bang on about his hand of God but he was absolutely the best player on that pitch and if he hadn't had scored that he'd have done another. To go along with one of the greatest goals ever seen in the same game. Absolute genius of a player.

yeah.

he was in terrible shape as of late though so death must have come as a relief.

RIP ya big nutter-genius, you

The player on the left was suspended, I wonder why, they were just getting familiar with each other? :D

Hand-ball?

Representing my town that lad. Bellend.

West Ham pulling off another victory, jumping to 5th. No way will we finish anywhere near that but I'm really appreciating what Moyes is doing this season. Not always the prettiest to watch but there's real character there now. They definitely rode their luck tonight, but the difference is that previously they would've simply buckled under the kind of pressure Villa put them under before luck could've even had a chance to play its part. I'll take that, even if we end up finishing closer to 15th than 5th.

The Australian league starts on Sunday (this is the transitionary season towards moving back to winter for 2022 onwards). Honestly not sure what to do about it, but I'll try to do my stats and see what happens.

Might need to pick a new team to follow.

FC Emmen is at the last spot in Dutch primary league. In 17 matches they still haven't won, only 5 draws. Their supporters decided to lend them a hand, and did this to one of the goals. It didn't help :D

Cyprus - Slovakia 0:0


the tragic decline of our national team

Turkey - Netherlands 4 - 2


the Dutch squad gets slaughtered by the press, calling their play "endless knitting", and every player got a rating between 4 and 5.5 (out of 10).


The regular goalie Cilessen got injured during warm-up, so the substitute Krul had to replace him, he got told only minutes before the game.

Surely Tim Krul should be a national hero for you guys?

definitely no longer after last night :D
Difference is back then he was the substitute and came in after regular playing time was over. Yesterday he was the substitute before the match had started.

Tim Krul, fucking Newcastle legend. Well kind of. Probably slightly better than Nigel (smoke a bong) de Jong. Where's he at these days? foken Norwich or summit

you're a Newcastle lad, Diesel?


now there's a different goalie legend there - mr. Dubravka from my homeland :)

and we sunk even further


Slovakia - Malta 2:2


Can't believe we're a team who once beat Italy on the world cup and then beat teams like Spain etc.
