Real Madrid drew? LOoooooooooooooooooooool No one wants that La Liga title.
Congrats to Milan for winning the derby, always good to see them do somethng positive for once
In terms of the promoting teams that are competing in the playoffs, here is my order of preference
Brighton
Wigan
Derby
QPR (because fuck em and Harry at the same time)

That is sad, she was only diagnosed recently as well. Cancer can be swift sometimes
My condolences to her family and friends!

You just know he is the GOAT when by having a shit season and not giving a fuck, still scores 40+.
Messi really is the GOAT.
Too bad Barcelona look like they're on their way down. Pep should return.
If there's a new owner I think he's definitely gone. If Lerner says, probably 60/40 against Lambert staying too.
Pep won't come near this current board. In 2016 when we have got rid of them all, the king shall return.

Forlan won two Pichichis for two different clubs without ever going over 35 in a season. The gap between Messi and the rest is unreal.

I don't think that's fair on Lambert, injuries, and not a lot of support from an owner who clearly wants to sell up, and he's kept Villa in the league twice. It's a dangerous road sacking managers and hoping for more. You could end up with less. You could end up with Neil Lennon.

You could end up with Giggs.

I'm not even British and I hate QPR just as much as they do
Or Giggs or Solksjaer.
I agree more often than not it's better the devil you know and you only sack the manager if you already have someone better lined up ready to take their place.
Whilst he's done well given the financial constraints, and having some rotten luck this year with injuries (our two main purchases, Okore and Kozak, played 3 and 14 games respectively before having season ending injuries), the other players have shown little signs of progression. This is a coaching issue to me.
We've shown very sporadic bits of being able to play fantastic (first half at Anfield in particular) but that has not been the norm. Our tactics have been woeful more often than not.
He has an eye for talent (Okore, Benteke, Bacuna, Westwood, Lowton) but he has missed at times too (Tonev, Helenius, Bennett).
The players seem to like playing for him though. With more money and perhaps a better staff backing him up (suspending two senior coaches is bizarre but seemingly it was necessary) maybe we'll show progress next season.
I think this is all moot though. The rumours of Lerner wanting to sell have been around since November. I think someone is buying Villa this summer and the first thing they'll do is replace Lambert. New owners will want their own guy in there.

Evra on his future: ""Ask Man United, not me. Everyone knows how much I love this club. It's difficult. The reason is an important reason."
Seems like the club is off to a good start this summer.

Yeah. Probably shouldn't have taken Stiliyan's advice on that one.
These are the three main rumoured buyers:
Red Bull
Larry Ellison
AEG
Red Bull being the one linked before Christmas. Ellison about two weeks ago and AEG over this weekend.
btw, last time I read about it, RB Leipzig is near (or already qualified for) promotion to the 2.Bundesliga. But they don't want to give them a license :lol

Did any of you have do maypole dancing when you were younger at school?
No. I know what it is obv, but we didn't have to do it.

Which seems to link with the story that Lerner's sale has potentially hit the rocks.
Yeah. I vaguely remember doing it, definitely know my school did.
Beast.
Can he break Raul's club record next year?

For those wondering what happened with the ball Ramos blasted into space in 2012... aka blablurn this is for you :3
Don't know, but he's definitely on route to breaking Raul's CL record!
Follow both, and so I can post the stats here without translating.

I heard the music today that we had to dance/skip to primary school and it took me back to the intense pressure of not being the one who fucks up the plait in front of all the parents.
Very strange tradition

WHAT HAVE WE DONE
in all honesty, getting the draw is probably for the best. keeps barca in the race, which means they're gonna give it their all vs Atletico on the last match day, potentially handing the title to us if we don't FUCKING SLIP AGAIN
Haha great picture. It's been a fun race plug, I think you got this.

late to the party.
It's like Real Madrid is cursed. Everytime Atletico and Barça implode and gives Real a shot to move on up in the standings... they blow it

I'm playing through a co-op campaign and the difficulty does ramp up. We had thought it was pretty easy but I think we just beat Edge of City and it was a lot harder than the beginning parts.
The obvious choice for Red Bull is MK Dons. Their F1 factory is already based in the city. Dons would be happy to change their name so people stop bringing up the move. Win win for both. Although the RB people may feel like they want to start higher up the league pyramid.
