Yup! They are only going to win that league by 20 points this year. Pathetic!
Not sure if you saw the Spurs/City match in the NFL appointed goat pasture, but Mendy has lost his fukkin mind.
Number one, he looked slow AF, but the haymaker he threw at Lamela (and luckily didn't land) was crazy. Lamela was working him all game, and I get the frustration, but the dude seems like he's becoming the Pac-Man Jones of the PL.
Sadly with Delph on the Shelf, he's our best option at LB. Saw Spurs locked up Dele for 6 more years. Harry Hickford will be "totes stoked."
Loved that they signed Dele to a big contract. Still only 22. I don't think Mendy ever intended to hit Lamela. He wasn't even close with that swing.
Irish club apologises after falsely reporting player's death
An amateur Irish football club has apologised after it falsely reported the death of one of its players.
Dublin club Ballybrack FC had informed the Leinster Senior League side that Fernando Nuno La-Fuente had died in a traffic accident.
Their game against Arklow Town on Saturday was postponed while a minute's silence was held before other fixtures.
However, it emerged that La-Fuente is alive in his native Spain and the league has launched an investigation.
Griezmann Mbappe: French authorities could stop baby being named after World Cup winners
Parents who have named their baby boy Griezmann Mbappe after France's two World Cup winners could be stopped from doing so by French officials.
The baby was born in Brive in southern France, where the matter has been referred to the public prosecutor, the mayor's office confirmed to BBC Sport.
And for some background:
In 2015, a French court prevented a couple from naming their baby girl Nutella after the hazelnut spread, ruling that it would make her a laughing stock. The judge ordered that the child be called Ella instead.
More seriously, they could always name the kid Antoine Kylian. Or Equanimeous.
France is a socialist country, where infringement on civil liberties are masked by stinky cheese and wine.
One of my good friends spent 30 years traveling to Paris and Toulouse on business...at one point, he was a huge Francophile. But he said the last 15 years, Paris has become a sewer. Working class neighborhoods he used to frequent to visit tobacco shops (to get Cuban cigars, he got to know the owners so well they would swap out different cigar bands so he could get them through customs), have become impoverished, crime-ridden ghettos.
Actually, quite a few European countries have laws about what you can name your kids. Here's a story from Iceland about new approved names for children.
Accrington v. Sunderland called off due to torrential rain resulting in standing water on the pitch
Mark Spitz coming on for Sunderland to swim down the wing. Utter farce this now. One all on a manky stormy day in Accrington with 20 mins to go. Can't pass five yards. pic.twitter.com/m3zDOwwpYd

Accrington play in the Wham Stadium. Does Cliff Richard have a stadium named after him?
I love it when Brits act as if racism only exists in the U.S., and is a thing of the past in the UK.

Well, at least they chose something pleasant to do the masking.

They do????
And now that he's the Unemployed One, who will ManUre turn to replace him? Listening to the TalkSport callers jack each other off over Pochetino and Hairy Kane as a package deal.
Is there a more delusional lot in soccer fandom than the Rags?
I thought Poo fans were just run of the mill racist gutter trash...but I guess they can be delusional too.
Very! In fact, if they win the league this year I'm committing seppuku.

Anderlecht fans celebrate with chants of "Jews burn the best". 
WTF is going on at City and Bayern. We can't let Liverpool win the league. Either City or Spurs have to stop them.
Err, Spurs aren’t doing shit. Need City to bring a halt to the Liverpool machine.
Thank you, thank you, thank you Citeh!
Man City 2 Liverpool 1
'Poo fans have rapidly become my least favorite. Total scouser trash!
Dug ourselves a pretty big hole, if we'd lost it was all over. Now at least we can put some pressure on them. Poo reminds me of Leicester in 2015-16...every break going their way. They are out of the FA Cup and soon to be out of the CL, so they can focus all energy on winning the PL.
Luckily we get Arse, CFC and Spurs at home...but must play ManUre at Old Twatford...and they are actually a decent side now that Mou is gone.
Many injuries to overcome...has not been a great year from that perspective...Aguero, KDB, Mendy and Silva all have missed a lot of games. It has shown.

Interesting there's been a run on American youth players signing with big European clubs...not sure what Bayern's plan is for this kid, but the training against top competition he will get will be better than anything he gets in MLS. Even if it's the dev squad.
Luckily we get Arse, CFC and Spurs at home.
Technically, everyone gets everyone else home and away. 
The special one...
Fukking Klopp..."ve have zem right vare ve vant zem!"
Insinuating they intended to play for the draw.
Good luck scoring at the Allianz Herr Chompers!
Fukking Schalke...lucky to even be in that tie. #Joostice
And down goes RM to Ajax...JFC, to be a razor blade salesman in Madrid tonight...
VAR blows...and while I hate ManUre, I took special joy in PSG getting the shaft at the hands of it.
Crazy quarterfinal lineup so far...Ajax, Manure, Spurs, Porto...next week gonna be crazy too.
Atleti/Juve gonna be a good one. Even though it's at home, I am uneasy about Schalke. I expect Barca to win, but all Lyon needs is one goal to have a real shot at the upset...
BM v Poo could go either way, but I'm hoping the Allianz is too much for Herr Chompers.

Ridiculous! Cardiff bought him. Pay up, assholes, and next time get your record signing on a regular plane.

Florentina Perez is in deep doo doo.
And Roma axes their manager. I'm stunned Sarri hasn't been axed. He may be headed for Roma. Where the chicks are under 15 stone, and you can smoke on the box.
Brings forward something I've said for years...
