edit: nvm, just saw the news. awful
Gutted for Brighton fans. Being equal on points with Boro and Burnley with one game to go and now they're 2-0 down in the Play-Off Semis. As exciting as the Play-Off system is for neutrals it can be a nightmare if your team goes out in them.
I believe Daesh is the term that they don't like.
m8, you'd rather see your rival win just to witness a meltdown from some random dudes on the internet whereas your own club (united I think it was) doesnt even qualify for the losers league (europa league)
Typicall fodder club fan talk

As much as these fellas?
After we let you use our stadium after yours got bombed and bought you new kits when you were poor and played in rags.
Sunday Supplement is always populated by the most pompous pricks the British tabloids have to offer.
As long as there are ignorant, uneducated people groups like ISIS and Al-Qaeda will be well-stocked with members. They probably kill each other more than they do their so called 'enemies'.
We can only hope we don't see any trouble at the Euros next month.
La Liga ends in a few hours and it all points to Barca winning it again.
I just can't believe Madrid was able to recover from that terrible start with Rafa. We lost so many points for seemingly no reason other than player's apathy. Makes me wonder how it would've gone if Florentino had not sacked Ancelotti.
I still don't know if Zidane is a good manager, but the players seem to trust him and that has motivated them enough to get them this far (to be fair, an incredibly easy path to the final of the Champions helps), I guess it will all come down to that result against Atletico.
If we lose the Champions, I don't even know which managers are available this summer that could come to Madrid and make a positive impact.

Think Zidane's earned another season in charge even if you somehow finish third and lose the final
You would think that, but Florentino is fucking insane.

Great channel to scout players who are at Liverpool or (were) Liverpool transfer targets: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCo_yArQw8Am_OzTVuwru0Nw
Because Arsenal fans were asking about him:
Granit Xhaka vs Sevilla (H) 15-16 - YouTube
(+) Good passing, physically imposing, great shooting tech.
(-) Rather slow (off the mark), has a temper
Pretty damn good for his age, but being rather slow + having a temper = fouls, penalties red cards.
BVB's Hummels replacement candidates:
Shkodran Mustafi vs Barcelona (A) 15-16 - YouTube
(+) Fast, agile, good passing, good pressing resistance, good anticipation
(-) Small (bound to lose headers)
As a manager I'd probably be afraid to field him vs. taller than avg. teams.
Niklas Sule vs Hamburg (A) 15-16 - YouTube
(+) Tall, (at 20 already) physcially imposing, good tackling, ok anticipation, ok passing (as I've seen at other occasions)
(-) Slow of the mark, stiff, bad pressing resistance
He's still 20yo, but some of his deficiencies will never go away. I don't think Tuchel will want him.
New Bundesliga signings:
Renato Sanches vs Academica (H) 15-16 - YouTube
(+) Quick, failry good passing, good shooting tech.
(-) Small, physically average (atm), not especially creative, bayern cunt
Ousmane Dembele vs Nantes (H) 15-16 - YouTube
Ousmane Dembele vs Toulouse (A) 15-16 - YouTube
Ousmane Dembele vs Lille (A) 15-16 - YouTube
Ousmane Dembele vs Marseille (A) 15-16 - YouTube
(+) Damn quick on and off the ball, lots of flair, both-footed, good shooting tech.
(-) Needs to pace himself better and make better decisions, must contribute more to def.
Overall pretty awesome for an 18yo.
These compilations are no highlight reels, but rather most (if not all) player actions per game.

First thing Heidel does at Schalke is fire Breitenreiter.
This is such a shit club.

You have to fire him for the return of the king Keller.

Bürki pls.
We are playing against the champions League finalist.
You sure Eric Wynalda didn't sneak in there?
As a pep fan that's something you'll not going to experience anymore
