itt liverpool not winning things; sandbox i love football

cska not trabzanspor

Wonder who's going to throw some money at Basel for Shaquiri

Fuck, Ajax got majorly screwed

did anyone find themselves saying "Shaquiri! Shaquiri!" under their breathe everytime he got the ball.

yes

his hips don't lie

his breasts are humble

I was confusing them with mountains

Him and Xhaka in one team, I approve.

I'm really looking forward to Chelsea v City now.

Hm, Jibe moves to the land of the betting syndicate; a few weeks later, Lyon pull off a result like that. They only equalised on the stroke of half-time as well.

LOL

There are no quotes in that story

hahaha, love this ! hell yeah lyon, i can't believe they made it through. i will not listen to a word said anywhere about wrongly disallowed goals in the ajax game or zagreb not even trying to play :) this just made my very very long day a whole lot better. i wanted to stay up to watch the game (which starts at 4am here) but decided against. kind of regret it. i'm gonna ask: anyone know where i could see the entire game?

also between this and marseille, i just can't believe what happened! Usually french clubs manage to fuck up when they're in good position to qualify - well ok, lille was there for that - but what lyon and marseille did is blowing my mind .

thx for that, will def watch the lyon game. now i just need to find a way to hypnotise myself so i forget the result so i can get the thrill of victory for real :)

great word.

appropriate too. great headline.

Thought Basel's two strikers were superb last night btw.

Phil Neville is still smashing it:

"When I first came through as a full back, my main objective was that my first tackle on the winger I was coming up against had to be a hard one. I had to smash him basically.

"Smash your winger early on you don't see him again -that was the rule of thumb 15 years ago. But football has progressed. We're on tackling at the moment, but maybe diving is as big an issue, maybe goal line technology is."

url is a 'smashing' punchline.

"when I first came through as a full back, my main objective was giving away penalties or getting sent off. that's why man u sold me and i got swiftly ditched from the england squad."

RIP the career of Jose Antonio Reyes.

This wink and little thumbs up from Zagreb defender Domagoj Vida after Gomís' 1-5 is feeding speculation here that the game in Zagreb was rigged.

I don't care, I congratulate Jibé with this fantastic result! :-)

Beautiful results all round last night, LOL Mancs and, lest I forget, LOL Man Utd supporters

fucking phil neville, injured bale twice last year.

Rooney ban reduced to 2 games. So he can return for the Ukraine game. If he plays like he did last night night England are screwed anyway.

was gonna say, the assumption that current-form rooney is even good enough for the squad shows a serious paucity of either strike options or willingness to face facts

last one

rooney has been shit for a season and a half now, bar little bumps in form. the young lad from city daniel sturridge should be getting all his hype.

yup, ajax were screwed.

Bryan Ruiz: “I didn’t want to go to Fulham at all. I was happy with Tottenham’s previous interest in me. They are a dream club. Attractive financial terms, and a talk with Martin Jol, dragged me over the line.”

“The fact remains that in Mancini’s fifth Champions League season as a manager of a club at the very top level of financial support, with a vastly expensive array of talent at his disposal, he has failed even to make it out of the group stage.”

mancini really is the worst.

yeah, he'll never win as many Champions League titles as Wenger

arsenal wouldn't have had a prayer in that group

well, at least we've never failed to make it out of the group stages. but 5 times with the pick of any players he wanted is just rubbish.

They look certainties to be back next season when these experiences will be put to good use and the current squad is likely to have been augmented by more marquee arrivals.

god bless El Nultio

xp Mancini was appointed December 2009

by my reckoning, that means he was in charge for the 2010-11 campaign and for this one. that's 2 goes

before we even get into arguments about how Manchester City - who have taken the unprecedented step of spending lots of money to buy star players - are unique in this terrible 2 year lag between having money to spend and a winning team emerging

Well thats including Inter.
