The action was obviously inappropriate but to ban fans from travelling? Uh...no. Good luck with that.

What's the difference between Tottenham and a triangle?

The grammatical number? Is this an antisemitic joke?

Because, otherwise, I give up. Smiley

A triangle has more points.

Oh, heh.

Until tonight, Eintracht Frankfurt had as many points as a triangle... thankfully, we've doubled the count now. With some high drama too - playing better than the opponent but still painfully harmlessly for 80 minutes, then getting the 0-1, coming back two minutes later, and scoring the winner in injury time.

Man was this needed.

...or not "right now." Apparently, this is just replay of the game and our Italian forum member ruined the result for me.  Tongue

Serie A...

Atalanta finds a way to beat Inter 3-1 but my Napoli loses to last place Chievo Verona! Unbelievable.

I suppose you heard about Kaka.

That's just crazy money...

West Ham beat Fulham 3-1 today. Without Bellamy, who wants out.

Lord Above Chelsea just sacked big Fil



Chelsea is my favourite Prem. team, and I liked Scolari, I'm somewhat mixed on his firing, he seemed to be unable to pull Chelsea out of their winter slump that that they've had for a few seasons now, but he wasn't doing any worse. I can see why he's gone, I think he deserved more time, but more importantly I hope RA knows his already erratic reputation is now firmly in the toilet, as Chelsea is quickly going to resemble an Italian revolving door, the next manager needs a full season plus to make or break.


And.... to make things absolutely hilarious.... Guus Hiddink (not hilarious, capable, but a poor fit IMO) and Avram Grant are said to be in the top of the running.



Personally... why isn't Abramovich throwing money at Slaven Bilić?

Yeah, Abramovich is not a patient man.

West Ham ended their unbeaten streak. Since it was against Manchester United, it was only 1-0 and their keeper got a British record for length of playing while keeping a clean sheet, I'm not upset.

Napoli fires Reja...and hires Donadoni.

Now I totally believe that Napoli clearly needed some new leadership. I think they've won literally one game since December but I am no fan of Donadoni. I hope he proves me wrong this time.

Well, United will probably win the league, but The Kop will remember this for years.

4-1 loss and at home too. Smiley

Before tonight's game, I wouldn't have though I'd be able to say that Italy would be lucky to get away with a draw.

Total disgrace. They defend a lead for eighty minutes and can't hang out at the very end. Unreal. This is especially irritating because I can't stand Trapattoni.

Anyway, now I'm a little worried. Who knows if they'll decide to throw away another game against one of the real joke teams and with a loss in Dublin possible...

I'm really disappointed.

That's a pleasant result. Smiley

Though that game must have been awfully boring to watch.

So I've heard. I didn't even get to really watch it. It's not on GolTV until 10 tonight and the live stream wasn't working so I had to watch on ESPN GameCast. Towards the very end (right when I typically start to worry because they're usually defending a one goal lead...), I saw that a goal was scored. Idiotic ESPN had to color yellow assigned to Italy and blue assigned to Ireland (genius move, right?). I see a blue spot appear on the screen and thinking it was a goal for us, I let out a cheer. Ten seconds later, well...I let out a different reaction.
