Guarentee Blackburn are somehow involved in the "several top football matches in European leagues" part of this. Just way too much weird shit has happened in the past two years.

There is such an obvious joke to be made but I value my ongoing membership as part of this message board so I shall refrain.

I was going to offer to put you through a table, but it seems you have already lost your spine!

[Lineker]

Well, my spine is half metal...

[Hobo]

One thing that always bugs me, UK media can't seem to get that Euro is the plural of Euro not Euros.

I shall then, Blackburn, top football matches, ha!

The match against your lot last season springs to mind, not one shot, on or off target. First time it ever happened in the Premier League.

Season before last my team had a game without a shot on goal or even a corner away at Swansea. It does happen every now and then, but only if your team is quite poor.

Anyway they've said the UCL game was Liverpool vs Debrecen, but the only person implicated is the Debrecen goalkeeper who actually failed to make the bet come off that Liverpool would win by more than 2 goals. They won 1-0.

lol, can barely win even with the opposition goalie is conspiring to help them.

Blackburn might be off the table but it's a good job Liverpool are fair game.

[Baddar]

Yeah, The Mirror reckon he was bribed to make sure there were more than 3 goals in the game.

Any Liverpool fans remember it? I imagine you would as CL football is a rarity for you guys nowadays.

I'm interested to hear how he performed that night.

[Hobo]

I don't remember.

Liverpool stated that Europol have not contacted them about anything.

Holland will play tonight with: Krul (newcastle), Janmaat, de Vrij, Martins Indi (feyenoord) Blind (ajax), Strootman (psv), Clasie (feyenoord), Maher (AZ), Lens (PSV), RVP (Man united) and Ola John (Benfica).

Only 3 players from our starting eleven are not playing in Holland.

Mansfield Town manager Paul Cox is getting used to driving the Aston Martin car given to him as a reward by his chairman over the weekend.

John Radford gave his car to Cox after Saturday's 8-1 win over Barrow in the Blue Square Bet Premier.

"I didn't really take him at face value when we was talking but to be fair to the man he's a top guy and when he did it, it was unbelievable," Cox tells BBC Radio 5 live.

[Starvinho]

Ronaldo is back in shape!

[Rafael]

Yeah, they gave him R$6M se he could participate in a show where he would get in shape again.

[stokeriño]

Chelsea beat Barcelona 2-0 last night!

The U19s did, anyway... To reach the quarterfinals of the NextGen Series, which is sort of like an Academy-level Champions League.

(Meanwhile Liverpool lost 4-0 to Sporting Lisbon...lolz.)

[GoGo Yubari]

Spurs beat PSG via penalties too.

So I guess what I'm saying is hahahaha, Liverpool.

[Berober]

AND Villa beat Ajax

[Gazz]

To be fair, Villa's first team squad and NextGen squad are virtually identical.

Wonderful.

Fucking hell. A Coventry fan who can use a phone.

English footballs gone soft, you can do low dropkicks on Ronaldinho in Brazil and not even get booked:

[Thrilla]

Barely touched him.

Reminds me of when Billy Gunn worked in the dropkick to the knee during his last real serious singles push. >_>
