Look, does anybody really WANT to see City complete a treble given it will have all the charm and underdog feel-good factor of the son of a billionaire buying his first Lambo? Exactly. So why don't we just take the month off?

Or at the very least just pretend Fiorentina vs. West Ham is the only game of note happening this month. I think we'd all be much happier that way.

Also I see Messi's departure from PSG is confirmed. Hope he fucks off to Saudi, the money-grubbing twat.

For Spikey:
In the absence of any real analysis of the very high chance that Southend are due a Hollywood takeover, have a picture of Ron Martin's hair seamlessly transplanted onto the Rock's head.

I've won tickets to watch the live screening of the biggest game in town in the stadium on Saturday. Eintracht Frankfurt play Leipzig in the FA Cup final at 8pm and they're live screening it in the stadium.

It appears Andrea Radrizzani, Leeds and about to be Sampdoria owner, has used Elland Road as collateral in the loan agreement to buy Sampdoria.

Feels like they had their time with the Bielsa rollercoaster and now fully back to the old days.

I quite enjoyed the Rangers European final last year as I managed to locate a local Rangers pub (replete with all the sectarian songs :face:) although because all pubs in Guernsey run on IPTv/wozbox type things the penalties were a bit of an anticlimax. Hoping to find the local ICF chapter for West Ham's game next week, but less confident.

Obviously there is no other football this month

Been watching the u17 final between France and Germany and it's pretty poor. The only highlight is the Germany managers career (https://www.transfermarkt.com/christian-wuck/profil/trainer/4275) and his slight resemblance to Mourinho in pictures.

Bordeaux needed a win to have any chance of promotion back to Ligue 1.

They were playing Rodez and in the 2rd minute Rodez scored a goal. A Bordeaux fan then ran onto the pitch and pushed the goalscorer:

1664719402535714818

Goalscorer and his pal took a lovely dive but it seems he smacked his head on the ground quite hard and had to be stretchered off with a concussion. Red ended up calling the game off after a 15/20 minute suspension.

Looks like we might be getting a test of the RL defence. All a bit ridiculous really, but I guess this is where everything being a hate crime gets you. Were there likely to be any Liverpool fans or relatives of the victims in attendance to see the shirt? It's obviously in poor taste, but unlawful?

Big Ange from Celtic to Spurs. About the 50th name on their list, but he's coming in.

Spikey M
04-06-2023, 05:24 PM
They may actually start playing some interesting football again then. It's about time after years of Mourinho/Conte-ball.

Or, possibly more likely, Kane leaves and isn't replaced, they start the season with Dier and Sanchez at the back and relegation is secured by Christmas.

Don
04-06-2023, 06:59 PM
Celtic's success this season seems to be more as a result of a ridiculous abundance of talent rather than revolutionary tactics and I swear our resident Aussie was lolling at Ange's appointment last summer. With Potter and others about and Kane possibly out, this may be the end of Spurs as a top half side.

Spikey M
04-06-2023, 07:09 PM
Possibly, but he plays attacking football, which is clearly Spurs' strongest attribute. The question is how suicidal that is with this defence and whether Levy will finally sort that defence out this summer.

niko_cee
04-06-2023, 07:34 PM
I'm sure Queenslander was a fan of his, or at least one/some of the aussies were. I never liked him, back from his Brisbane roar days, so will relish the idea of him failing hard at Spurs. Can a fleet of J-league xG hustlers replace Harry Kane? Another interesting thought experiment to sit alongside the one going on in West London.

To add to that, Union Saint Giloise were winning their game (and the league) until the 89th minute and proceeded to actually lose 1-3 and finish third.

So basically in the space of 5 minutes 3 different teams were winning the league.

Also, someone's going to have to talk me through Belgian football's league structure. How are there 3 divisions? How have Antwerp ended up with 47 points from 40 games having won 25? How have Genk and Gillois ended up with 1 less point despite having ostensibly identical records? And how are Genk not seething their tits off as they also have a better goal difference, shouldn't they have won the league?

WTF is this? (https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/belgian-pro-league/table)

Championship Playoff

The point system in the championship playoff is the same as during the regular season, except that each team starts with half of the points they won in the regular season, rounded up to the nearest integer. The points gained by rounding are deducted in the case of a tie.

It's lost me there.

Gray Fox
05-06-2023, 09:16 AM
One the league splits after 30 games, points you already have are halved, rounded up to the nearest whole number.

The top 4 are the championship group, then I believe it's the Europa League/conference group of 4, then the rest are the relegation group.

What's likely happened is some teams did slightly worse in the championship group than earlier, now with halved points, you get identical records but differing points.

Giggles
05-06-2023, 09:22 AM
They hardly have 4 CL places though, so are you better not making the top 4 group so you can get a Europa place in the lesser 4?

Gray Fox
05-06-2023, 09:25 AM
1st gets into the CL groups, 2nd into the 3rd CL qualifying round. 3rd and 4th get Conference league qualifying rounds.

1st in the secondary group does get you Europa League qualifying, but you cant win the title if you're in that group, even if you get more points there than the eventual champions.

It's not about finishing top four. It's about finishing top four and winning the transfer window.

49ers now own 100% of Leeds, they've bought out Radrizzani.

Lewis
09-06-2023, 11:53 PM
Leeds United chairman Andrea Radrizzani has agreed a £170m deal to sell his stake in the relegated club to co-owners 49ers Enterprises. The investment arm of the San Francisco 49ers purchased a 15% stake in Leeds in 2018 and increased that to 44% in 2021... The previous agreement, which depended on their top-flight survival, was worth about £400m - but negotiations restarted following their drop to the second tier.

They should have offered Big Sam a bigger bonus.

Don

It might just be through football starvation that my mind is playing tricks on me but I'm starting to believe in Inter as we get closer to kick-off so the excitement is really building. City's away form, Inter's formation with bodies back and 2 upfront, their willingness to go direct, Acerbi's shithousing, Lukaku's massive dong. Come on boys, please.

The answer is Spurs in mid-January in a 4-2 defeat [Spurs did also beat them 1-0 at some point since then, possibly their only defeat in 2023].

Gray Fox

City will score in the first 10 mins, Inter will shit themselves at their gameplan not working and then when they eventually open up City will knock another 2/3 in.
It'll be 3-0 to City with about 75% possession in their favour.

Waffdon
10-06-2023, 10:57 AM
1-2 Inter. They’ll go 2-0 up before City score half way through 2nd half and proceed to obliterate them. Fancy a missed penalty from City too.

Offshore Toon
10-06-2023, 02:14 PM
They've definitely got a bit of bottle in them. Real made them look special, but they were missing penalties in the quarters. They'll probably win but it won't be easy.

It’s not just them you can already see the same things happen with Newcastle. If United get bought out by the Qatari’s that has the ability to move the needle in a whole different manner.

The sport probably already is broken but it’s only going to get worse. But, if City get away with these charges then that finishes it because at that point there is nothing to stop them doing whatever they please.
