PSG 2-0 down v Lyon at home.

 

Lens still breathing down their necks too. 

[StanSP]

Getafe, 6th in La Liga, are closer to 18th than they are to 4th

 

44 points. Atletico on 60 points. 

Sevilla in 18th on 34 points. 

[Corky]

Don't know why but I have a feeling these league games being played abroad (back on the agenda) may involve the big clubs avoiding difficult away games and given more comfortable surroundings?

[Super_horns]

Not the first time there has been an issue with officials and corruption in Italy.

I should be outraged by this but its about time someone said "**** it, I'll give a reason to go down, you cheating bastard". Hilarious but is probably going to get banned for a fair time.

Yeah he certainly made sure he was deserving of the red card 🥊

He should just get a normal red card ban and a hefty fine. No reason to ban him for months. If I was him I wouldn't even apologise, he needs to speak to the media and actually say he had enough watching all this circus as a GK. 

Some footballers need to come together and speak about this farce. 

Enough is enough with these cheating primadonnas.

Seems rather extreme and unlikely to actually be implemented too often ?

Yeah I thought this was stupid. 

 

You see players all the time shield their mouths to talk to a team mate when preparing a set piece or talking to their manager. For obviously not racist reasons.

At this rate, the football authorities will request all players to have listening devices on them..

Bayern are just pure box office.

Losing to Mainz 0-3 at half time last week.

That PSG match

Losing 1-2 to Heidenheim at half time this week.

Heidenheim could be on for the greatest escape too if they can get into the relegation playoff.

Schalke are back in the first league. Think I ll watch them next season rather than our bunch of tossers

Muslić did a really good job with them.

[Gazza3]

Wow my second German team have just been promoted to the second league . What a season ( In Germany at least ) 

[MC Prussian]

Congrats to FC Thun – Swiss champions in the first season upon promotion!

Over the decades, there have only been a handful of clubs achieving this feat.

 

What's even more surprising that the club operates on a very small budget.

Fantastic achievement particularly without being bank rolled it seems .

Wolfsburg vs St Pauli next week on the final day, on the same amount of points to decide who goes down and who goes in to the playoff. (Unless Heidenheim somehow get a couple of wins)

In Denmark, my hometown club Aarhus GF are on the way to their first title in 40 years. Just need one win in the last two games and currently leading 2-0 away at Steve Cooper’s Brøndby.

Rashford scored a beauty of a free kick in the Clasico

Been some class stories in Europe this year, not sure if anyone else on here listens to the Sweeper but what a season it's been on our crazy continent 

[Jaspa]

El Clasico, currently 2-0 Barca. Alot of English players on the pitch. Game is still an absolute divefest, boardering on unwatchable. Ref cam came on a while ago and it was literally 10 seconds of simulation followed by the ref blowing for a foul. Hideous.
