Aren’t German games full of tourists these days, even more so than the EPL? That surely has to affect atmospheres and all.

There are reactions but I'd go with that analysis. It's mostly non stop and continuous rather than spontaneous and reactionary. I went to Dortmund- Juventus years ago and Juventus pumped Dortmund but the home fans just continued at the same pace and passion throughout. Makes you think are they even watching but it makes for a good noise.
I've always had as a very niche interest in the different goal roars in different countries. In Spain (I've only been to one game there which ended 0-0) it's such a low sound that they seem to be saying gooool rather than anything like the yyyeeeeah! that is the British goal noise. Italy I think is mostly siiii with a bit of other general sounds of the Italian man mixed in.
Germany should logically be jaaaa! but I can't imagine it in my head.
I thought I was alone in appreciating this.Originally Posted by Jimmy Floyd
I used to think the British sound was the best (hi Giggles) but lately I've started associating it with the Croydon boxpark and beer throwing, so my favourite goal sound is now a ripple of polite applause as seen at kids' games.
The German crowd model sounds dreadful, but very much in keeping with the 'organised fun' stereotype one might imagine.
Much like 'doing the Poznan' is dreadful.
Going to the football is mostly about suffering, not we support our local team shit. It's the suffering that allows you the explosion of joy when a good thing happens. Then VAR came along and mostly fucked that up.
It's a proper rough and ready ground. Like Craven Cottage with a few battle scars. But the energy is just tremendous, 90 minutes of pure chaos. I enjoyed it more than the Yellow Wall.
I was at a Hertha Berlin game a few years ago and there was a guy leading the chanting while others chanted back at him and then some drums as well. Did feel very organised. And a bit Nuremburgy or something.
I wouldn't mind another World Cup in Asia so we get that shriek that reminds me of 2002.
I like the one Partick Thistle fan in the away end at Motherwell who shouted at the opposing Eastern European goalkeeper "YER NAME'S WORTH A MILLION POINTS IN SCRABBLE YA FUCKIN' ARSEHOLE."
Every crowd should have a Scrabble-based heckler in.
Tabloids saying an unknown England international shagged a trans woman and was subsequently blackmailed for £30k on the back of it, any guesses?
No comment.
I'm a twit
You'd surely get more than 30k for that if they're an international. Another 0 at least.
Yes Jacky boy.
He was the trans woman doing the blackmailing.
Nyland
He’s an absolute top level, nobody better, shot stopper. Just a complete melt on a constant wobble.
Villa are winning at today’s football, which is nice.
Bit mankad for me.
Booking for unsportsmanlike conduct.
Chelsea
Tuchel hasn’t half just thrown the season. Bringing Saul and Sarr on confirms that
Is that the Saul that was real good for Seville?
He was good for Atletico 4/5 years ago
Atletico, yes. Under Simeone.
Never know he ended up at Chelsea.
Bristol Rovers had to better Northampton's result by 5 goals to go up automatically. Northampton won 3-1, Rovers won 7-0 against Scunthorpe (who played 7 teenagers)
Anyway Swindon made the play offs, which looked incredibly unlikely on Easter Monday, so I'm happy. Great achievement having been under embargo all season (other two clubs, Oldham and aforementioned Scunthorpe, were relegated) and nearly having gone bust in the summer.
Never seen us have success in the play offs, so not expecting that to change!
Gateshead sign off with a win. Just the 99 goals, though. Macauley Langstaff takes 28 goals for the season, equalling Lee Novak's club record.
RagnickOut.
New midfield genius scoring against us. Excellent.
Tuchel is lucky trigger happy Rom is no longer in charge he’d surely be getting the sack if he was.
Brighton handed out their player of the season award from 96/97 at half time.
25 years late seems the appropriate time.
Absolutely embarrassing.
Negative goal difference now?
What happened to United today? Fucking hell.
We're shit mainly.
Probably the toughest league game there is left for us here. Spurs the only team we've to play who have anything more than pride to play for.
I feel they always play well at Anfield before doing something mad to chuck it away in injury time.
Spurs sitting deeper than Frank Lampard's Everton.
A couple of better touches and this could be 2-0 either way really.
This one is going to come down to a nervy finish.
Not allowed to defend against Liverpool
Liverpool in the mud.
Quadruple in the mud.
You do the hard work against us and then bin it against the home banker. State of your club, mate.
Tbf Liverpool have been asking for this for a few weeks. Diaz coming off the bench has solved it, but maybe it's time to send for Divock.
Lucky, lucky fuckers.
Frank Lampard-esque.
Should be about 8 mins added on here. A shame no Origi for this.
Liverpool should let Salah go and sign Son to replace him.
Why is Hojbjerg not trying to score there? Fucking plum.
Criminal from the Spurs player to not go for goal at the end there.
The point doesn't kill the league, but it does put it on life support.
Amazing scenes in Schalke v St Pauli at the top of the 2/Bundesliga. Pauli 2-0 up at half time which was meaning the league had two points from 1-5th with one to play. Schalke came back 3-2, promoted. Fans on the pitch with some absolute states. Great stuff.
Anyone seen the Serie A table lately?
