It's hard being a Valencia fan this season. I don't rate Dukic as a manager at all either.

His problem is not following the Dortmund model.

No, 1-1 now.

First time I've ever considered using the ignore function. Hm.

Realise I'm not Ant, eh?

Yes Bernat!

Insanely impressive clearance from David Alaba.

[Nerf]

Not as good as this.

Arjen Robben will likely miss the World Cup after tearing knee ligaments.

Barca lost! 1-0 at Bilbao. Martino out!

Well, this rather backfired...

Juventus have been fined £4,140 after school children were found guilty of insulting chanting.

The 12,200 children were seated behind both goals for Sunday's match against Udinese, in place of the Ultras who were banned for anti-Naples chanting.

They then abused Udinese keeper Zeljko Brkic after every goal-kick.

"I wanted to say something right after the game because it bothered me but I didn't want to put oil on the fire," said Udinese coach Francesco Guidolin.

"For a club such as Juventus where everything is beautiful, in particular where the stadium gives you the idea that you are not in Italy, it is really troublesome to hear those words every time the goalkeeper puts the ball into play."

The children were copying a ritual in Italy where the visiting goalkeeper is insulted as he takes a goal-kick.

Pathetic decision, all they chanted was 'shit' at the goalkeeper. Shall we start fining every club that has fans that chant stuff like that? Compare that to some of the shit you hear in games on a daily basis.

Was actually a great atmosphere and good touch.

Jesus, Leeds fans do the oooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh you shit bastard thing every goal kick. We'd be fucking skint if they fined us for it.

[MDK]

At Orient we used to do the whole 'ooooooooOOOOOOHHHH' before a goal kick but we'd say 'BOING' when someone headed it when it came back down.

[Lineker]

Blimey, Bayern won 7-0 at Werder Bremen this week. Ridiculous.

Marseille have sacked Elie Baup.

[Colly]

Top of the league Vitesse that is.

[EddieG]

Still a 6-2 trouncing.

Barcelona will make a decision in January on whether to expand their Nou Camp stadium or move to a new location.

The Spanish club want to increase the capacity of Europe's largest football stadium from 99,354 to 105,000, and build a roof to cover the ground.

Barcelona's board of directors will vote on the plan early in the new year.

Board spokesman Toni Freixa said: "We've made advances, we have all the information and we're in a position to make a decision."

The iconic Nou Camp has been the home of Barcelona since 1957 and has hosted two European Cup finals - in 1989 and 1999 - the World Cup in 1982 and the Olympic football tournament in 1992.

Friexa said while one option would see the construction of a new stadium on ground currently belonging to the University of Barcelona, the other project involved a "profound remodelling" of the existing stadium.

He added: "Both would have a capacity of 105,000 spectators, the stadium would be covered.

"It needs to be viable from a technical perspective, urbanist and economic. We would never submit a project that would endanger the sustainability of the club."

Summ, Valencia have sacked Djukic.
