Lampard's going to smack Real Madrid up and win UCL. You heard it here first.
Who new Todd Boehly was into sniffing glue.

Fans throwing things at players is disgusting at any time but this is the worst I've seen for some time:
Davy Klassen rages at Feyenoord keeper for telling him to get up
The KNVB Cup semi-final at De Kuip had to be suspended after Klassen was struck on the head by an object thrown from the crowd.

Yeah shocking, said fans should be banned for life and banged up for 6 months.
Feyenoord Ajax is as civil and friendly as the Old firm. You couldn't pay me enough to go to that game.Fans throwing things at players is disgusting at any time but this is the worst I've seen for some time:

The manager merry-go-round is in full swing! Think Moyes has done a brilliant job at WHU, but the last 30-40 Prem games have been dire and last night's debacle was the final straw for me. Couldn't believe what I was seeing. Collective and individual defensive errors that would make my U11 school team blush. At 1-2 we were totally on top and looking to get an equaliser. Conceding 22 seconds into the second half and in that manner, completely killed it. Moyes made 4 early-ish subs, which is very unlike him, but he kept the same formation and tactics, which clearly weren't working. Terrible.
Yeah I watched the game last night and it looked more like West Ham were playing badly than Newcastle were amazing. I'm still not quite sure how a manager that got fired for getting relegated and a team that have been in the last half dozen relegation battles are suddenly in the top four, is it just the whiff of money before any has actually been spent!? I don't see any individuals in that Newcastle squad who would get in the Arsenal/City/United teams
Yep no doubt he'll win the treble

Willock is decent, although not spectacular and also bought pre Saudi takeover. Almiron had a great little streak, Howe seems to have got a tune out of Joelinton. Bruno whats his chops has been decent. The rest are just well drilled and their position has been more about being solid defensively than the Keagan approach of just scoring more goals than they concede.
Must be something to this "build a team" not buy show ponies approach.
Hell, even PSG are making noises about less stars more team players

Not sure on the promotion timing. There have been a few sides who walked the Championship so there is definitely competition.
They have a few loan signings, I suspect a lot depends on whether those players stay. One is from Saints, one of their top scorers I think, I doubt they will let him stay next year. Whether Saints stay up or not, they'll probably want him back, or to sell him (to someone else if Saints stay up, given they will probably both be lower half)

It would be nice if the BBC got some slightly more impartial pundits. According to Chris Sutton Brighton were "robbed" yesterday - the two disallowed goals were clear handballs, that's not being robbed, it's the rules. And yes they probably should have got a penalty, but assuming they scored it that would have made it a draw. No mention of Son's goal of the season contender. Jeez.

Main stream pundits are generally appalling, with a phew exceptions. They get exposed all the time. I'm pretty sure most of them spend all week on the golf course, turn up to a studio and say the first thing that comes into their head, without any research what so ever.
A classic example of this is Man Utd getting Ten Hag last summer, pretty much every main stream pundit and never heard of him, let alone know anything about him. Dreadful lazy pundit's, all retired professionals who think they have a right to have the nations attention on what they think.

I couldn't agree more. 99% of them are robbing a living. They know less than your average fan, but cos they have played the game they, and the media bosses, seem to think they have some amazing insight. That's why Colin Murray got bucked off MOTD2 cos the ex-pros kicked up a fuss about him offering opinions and not just sitting there feeding them lines. You could count on one hand the number of times I have been impressed by the insight shown by ANY ex-pro or manager.
Carragher and Neville are good, their Monday night stuff was brilliant, I haven't seen it for ages (bloody kids) but it was almost always better than the Monday night game. Ally McCoist is superb, he actually does research before turning up. The rest are a waste of space.
The likes of James Richardson, Guiemme Balegue (spelling, obv), Gab Marcotti and Raphael Honigstein are all superbly well informed and totally dispassionate. You get reasoned arguments and thoughts with them, not just a "duh ehhh well, ya know, innit."
I long for the day some TV ex decides to make a football show staring people who know stuff and not Robbie Savage, Martin Keown, and some token bird. The latter probably being non white and gay, just to allow them to tick two extra diversity boxes.
PGMOL admit Brighton should have had a penalty. Fair ****s for admitting the mistake, but these mistakes keep happening. The people who run VAR are NOT getting better. That is the problem. They get time and multiple replays to see these things and yet STILL get it wrong, time and again.
I'm still refusing to watch Pool so I missed anything he did today.
I heard it was a good game though. I have seen Konate's chance at the end. Bloody awkward height for him. Had that been a forward they probably would have had the calmness to just swing on it, albeit not so hard that it cleared the bar, but a CB is a different matter.
Still, a point more than I was expecting. #OnePointCloserToSafety lol
