From what I've heard, there are enough private parties/events/hotels that allow drinking... but yeah, you're right - no idea why he would choose Saudi over anywhere else, really.Originally Posted by Jimmy Floyd
Highest bidder, presumably.
I'm not married and don't drink, where do I sign up?
Remember years ago when the Premier League at the HEIGHT OF ITS POWERS wanted to buy foreign referees in? Talk about a sure way to ruin the sport.
When was the height of its powers?
From a competitive perspective, I'd say 2005-2012 felt like a dominant period. 8 teams in the final in 8 years, 3 winners, and a lot of semi final appearances too.
I would go 2005 to 2009, when we usually had two/three of our teams in the Champions' League semi-finals (2011 was only United, and 2012 was a freak), but the scheme appears to have been floated in 2004, which means it probably got binned when Jose Mourinho MIND GAMED Anders Frisk into an early grave.
There was talk in 2004/2005 of the prem trying to get Collina in when he hit retirement age in Italy
Then he had that mare against Everton and everybody forgot about him (until yesterday, when Everton got a SEETHE on when their kit supplier wished him a happy birthday on Twitter).
Add to that the Europa League. Three finalists and one winner. Liverpool were in the final last year!? I... I mean, I probably watched it but can't remember.
Full strength Tottenham 1-0 down at Gent. Pray for the coefficient.
We actually could come under a bit of pressure from Italy next season. Only 0.4 ahead as it stands (for comparison, the gap from us up to Spain is a full 25 points). The season after that, we stand 2 points behind Italy and would lose our 4th spot.
I heard somewhere the other day that Deeney is on over Ł100,000 a week. That's fucking mental enough.
The less (or fewer?) spots the better.
Fewer, yeah.
Zlatan is god.
PAOK fans telling it straight.
Definitely getting fined though.
What an awful goal that was. And a total dive from Ibrahimovic to win the free kick in the first place.
What's the Macedonia thing about, James?
Taken down. What cucks.
I don't get the banner.
The stream I'm watching have the ear of the 'Fifa Match Commissioner' who they go to for every semi-controversial decision. Is that an actual job? And if it is, surely their job isn't to commentate on the match? The guy is a doctor, apparently.
Ancient Macedonia falls mostly within modern Greece, to put it mildly Greeks aren't fans of Skopian appropriation of the name. You're really better off not mentioning it to any Greeks you might meet.

That was such a lovely run by Martial.
Shame he fluffed the finish.
That is fucking piss poor.
In fact, are we 4th as we speak? That's fucking shocking too.
Ah, I see you mean dropping the 4th CL spot.
We should be 3rd, probably. Italy treat the Europa with more respect than we do so it's no surprise they're close. Juventus in a CL final might have given them a huge bump as well(?).
We're nowhere near as good as the top Spanish teams, but we should give Germany good competition in the next few years now that Dortmund have fallen off a little bit.
Are Saint Etienne bossing this, or is it just me?
They're looking quite good, although I missed the first 19mins.
That Blind tackle/trailing leg should have been a penalty too.
Hmm, looked soft at best to me. The trailing leg was there, but I didn't see an angle where it clearly caught him.
Martial has a career in MMA after he retires. m
The third Pogba is a shambles with his hair.
Pogba must have set a record for hitting the post/bar this season.
He hits them too well.
United are infinitely better to watch than they were under van Gaal.
Did you go, @Kikó?
No reg. Going to the return leg next week.
@John
It wasn't that. It was someone who had been to a game and had specific praise, not a comment based on his haircut comparing him to two players completely different to both him and each other.
Damnit. I will win your approval one day. One day.
Yeah, it was after the Parkhead game in the group stage. Probably had it a bit easier then than tonight tbf.
