European Football Thread

Gary Neville insisted he would not resign after Sunday’s 2-0 defeat by Celta Vigo prompted chants from Valencia fans for him to leave but his time at Mestalla will not now extend beyond the end of the season unless there is an unexpected turnaround.

Teams in Greece could face a ban from European competition after the country’s deputy sports minister said he will not reverse a decision to cancel this season’s domestic cup because of crowd violence.

Fifa and Uefa sent a letter to Greek authorities last Friday requesting they reinstate the Greek Cup by 1 April after the tournament was cancelled by the government earlier this month.

A failure to meet the deadline could result in sanctions that include the suspension of the Greek federation, clubs blocked from playing in European club competitions and the national side also barred from international tournaments.

Mini Clasico! Some talented kids there. And that Real keeper looks quality for his size.

I think Arsene Wenger was in the crowd

I do wonder if they get taught to surround the ref at such a young age or if its just a thing that naturally happens...

Kids emulate the behaviour of adults, it's how they learn.

This does seem to knock the 'kids should only be playing small sided games at a young age to encourage them to use the ball more' theory on the head, when Barca are applying the 'play on a full size pitch against Real Madrid and battle for your parent's owner's love' approach.

Only with shitty press stories. As soon as Klopp got appointed Liverpool were supposedly signing every single player he'd ever met. >_>

You're just gutted all van Gaal got you was an underperforming Dutch squad...

Good tune.

The good thing about switching manager is that Chelsea are finally getting some variety in their nonsense transfer links. Instead of going round the Madrid teams for the 1,000th time, the whole of Serie A is open for us to (not) buy now!

[FestiveJack]

Hey maybe you'll get to linked to every center midfielder in Italy now instead of us.

Nainggolan is our new favourite to dump £35m on, apparently.

That happens in the press with every team when they get a new manager though. Chelsea are apparently going to sign half of Serie A this summer, City are after every Spaniard or Bayern player under the sun. When LVG took over United he was going to sign all the Dutch prospects like Blind, Depay etc.     ()
