Get out.

Lyon is cruising to a likely 8th championship in a row. We are also heading towards a severe beatdown against Barça in Champions League.

Marseille vs Twente tonight. Marseille should win that one. Easily even.

I dunno, Twente is good. I see them doing well in Marseille and taking it home next week. Well, they're able to do so. I'm not saying they will, I'm expecting them to lose.

You kept up with Feyenoord, BTW? I don't even know which place we're at, to be honest. 13 or 14.

*checks*

Ooooh... 12th! 6 points above the line.

Really?


Of course you'll see Marseille will now waltz over Twente and win 4-1. :o

Damn 0-1.
Oh well, I don't like Marseille anyway.

I hear the ref's not entirely objective there? Especially when it comes to giving cards.

Fiorentina - Ajax ends 0-1, very surprisingly. Ajax had one chance and made the goal. Fiorentina has had a few chances that should've been goals, but didn't score. Rather unbelievable. All in all a good night for Holland, to bad Twente couldn't make a second goal (I hear on the radio they've had a few chances for that).

We were all over Fiorentina during the Champions League.
Riccardo Burchielli certainly is crying. I'm sorry for him.

Marseille is such a shame.

Jezus... in the past 5 years there've been 13 incidents with Feyenoord hooligans in the UEFA Cup. Given that one of those years was without European football and there were two matches without Feyenoord fans at all, that probably means there was an incident with every game they played.

I really don't understand those fuckers. :(

Have them register at the local police station every time there is a game going on. Wouldn't that work?

Yes. But someone the politicians seem to think that a football law, like in England, is NOT something necessary. Morons.

That's cause everything is legal in your country. :D

6 points clear on top of the league!! I'm in a good mood to get trashed tomorrow night by Barça.

I am too surprisingly giving our shitty form as of late. But i think a strong showing in the champs league (which we seem to pull out of nowhere in recent seasons) will sort out team morale and hopefully get us back in title race.

I just hope too much damage hasn't been done

Liverpool is much more a cupfighter than a league team.


Dude! FIFA's looking into an orange card. A time penalty for a player who gets that one.

At the start of the season i would have disagreed but the amount of draws we have suggests we are a cup team. I mean you can't get knocked out of the cup if you can't get beaten right?

The orange card idea is fucking stupid. If they want to sinbin why not just give a 5 minute one for a yellow. Why introduce a new card?

Inter - Man United was the match on TV here yesterday and shiiiit... will the English boys be scratching their heads today. They should've ended it right there yesterday in the first half. Secaond half was actually sorta boring, though.

Yeah i saw that. I thought the refereeing was exceptionally poor and most decisions seemed to go uniteds way. still hoping inter can pull something out of the bag and knock those manc twats out though.

Not sure about the ref, but the linesmen were in form.
