His team won so some things do

 

He only had to move to the least competitive league in world football to get back to winning ways

I reckon most of the members of foxestalk could win a game in charge of Celtic. Put the players in the right positions and tell them to go and play football. Pretty much all it needs 🤣

They were biggin up the match as some sort of blockbuster game but then said Celtic had won the last 14 games v Aberdeen which says it all.

 

I understand : Roberto Mancini has left his job as Italy manager?

 

Guess he is going to a big club or had a falling out...

This Barca game is the stupidest game I've ever seen

Nearly 60 minutes each half

It really was mental. I will generally root for the team playing one of the big boys. Especially one that abuse finance regulations but I really wanted Barca to score there. Getafe were utterly hideous.

Yeh not sure where Mancini will end up. Probably at one of the big teams in Italy. Cant see any of the big jobs in England coming up anytime soon.

He's going to Saudi if the rumours are to be believed.

Yep, referee was shite.

Another player that only seems happy when he's planning his next transfer.

In a weird way I enjoyed it. Getafe were like a pissed up Sunday League side. Had to root for Barca though.

Apparently the clock was running for over 115 minutes in total, but there was still only 60 minutes with the ball in play. 😆

Is there a full list of la liga matches that are being shown on ITV? Atletico are on tonight but it doesn't look like they're showing it.

According to the press release last year it’s 10 games a season, so roughly one a month.

I encourage anyone to go and watch a game in Germany.  Its like Football Nirvana.  The only downside is the come down when you return to games in England again.

Correct. They had Getafe Barca last night so that's August done. 

[Super_horns]

Unfortunately KI edged out 3-2 on aggregate by Molde after extra time.

 

Rangers struggling in Switzerland- lucky to just be 1-0 down .

 

EDIT -1-1 now .

Thank you Messi, Busquets, Alba et’al for not selling your souls.

I know they will be handsomely paid in the US but £260m for what 16 mths work is immoral for someone to kick a ball around.

Marseille were heading through to CL playoffs, Panathinaikos scored a 99th minute penalty to take it to extra time.

Marseille have a goal disallowed in extra time, Panathinaikos win on penalties!

Ouch.

 

Won't go down well in France.

 

Poor old Sarr was probably hoping a fresh start would mean good news.

Two International Saudi Arabia games to be played at St James Park in Newcastle.

Am a bit surprised that the Super Cup isn't on any television channel?
