@AdamJ:

Spends approx €100m on players in his first season and still says he hasn't got a squad good enough 

He’s a first class muppet.

100% agree. I will say this, however: getting rid of a bad manager isn't that difficult. Getting rid of terrible owners - almost impossible. And if you do: be careful what you wish for, you might end up with even worse owners, albeit for different reasons. Exhibit A: Newcastle United. I feel extremely conflicted about my favourite club right now…

Best first half ever.

@scooter:

Cristiano who ?

Beats me. Never heard of him…

(Except he should have been sent off in the first half).

At first glance, I thought he kicked Jones. But, upon replay, I realized he was still kicking the ball. That's likely what saved him from the red card. That last kick was still highly suspect, though…

That is exactly the arse I was referring to…

With all due respect to Man U fans, he knew exactly what he was doing. Nasty and petulant.

Agreed. Thankfully, he plays for a club other than the one I root for…

HAHAH that was honestly painful to watch. was ready to turn the telly off 10mins in.

@goosehd well, verstappen won at COTA last night. need to watch the highlights but at least that has kinda numbed the pain a little

I hate Bayern München with a passion, so when they lose I'm always happy. They are currently down 5:0 after 60 minutes in the German Cup. Even better: my team, Borussia Mönchengladbach, are tearing them to pieces. I love it!

Great minds think alike, @Tago Mago

Pure, undiluted joy.

Don't get me wrong. I bleed red 100%. But, I will admit to thoroughly enjoying some time as a Spurs fan, if only for an hour, or two, this afternoon…

Enormous result. HUUUUUGE. I’m feeling all kinds of things.

Just not in front of the kids. OK…

Eintracht Frankfurt. Fuck me

Luton are in the Championship play offs (Semi final, first leg) this evening. We're punching above our weight in the division in terms of financials so it's a great achievement.

Having watched Luton play against part-time teams in the Conference, it's amazing to see. The screengrab shows what we're up against!
