Today was the first full day of UEFA CL qualifying, so it's probably the right time to start a new thread.
Hungarian giants Ferencvaros were held to a goalless draw in the Faroe Islands in a stadium more scenic than most:
Meanwhile, in Malta, the fans were dicks to Maccabi Haifa but the Israelis still won 4-0.

You just wanted an excuse to use an esset
It's too bad I didn't have an excuse to use the Hungarian ő, just to piss Chongo off.
On the other hand, I could have used the voiced dental fricative eth, since Breiðablik from Iceland were playing. (They beat Shamrock Rovers 1-0 in Ireland.)
Don't be a puβy
Really, the best show ever out of Britain. Fuck Dr. Who!
I have soft spots in my heart for Yes, Minister and Countdown, although the latter is really an import of a French format.
Red Dwarf was quite good...but I'm a sucker for a Scouser (Craig Charles aka Lister).
I have never heard of Red Dwarf. Might have to check that out.
Well, Bayern fucked around and found out. Now PSG is in for Kane.
Mahrez wants to go to PSG, but they don't him...so it's either stay at City or get a Sheikh's ransom in Saudi...Riyad to Riyadh...
'Arry Kine goes on 'Ot Ones!
Given the Britishness of his tongue, I'm guessing he taps at ketchup...
Dele Alli reveals treatment for addiction, trauma and childhood sexual abuse...
The balls it took for him to talk about it. So proud of him.
Kyle Walker to Bayern?
That's the rumor but he was offered a 2 year deal to stay at MCFC. Guy still has pace to burn, but at some point it's gonna go. City need to move on from him but not sure they are currently ready...
A bigger story...Ben Mendy was found not guilty by another jury on rape charges. He's missed 3 years of his prime...will be interesting to see where he lands. Doubt it will be in England...my guess is he goes back to France or does an image rehab stint in Saudi.
Who knows with rape trials. All we can go on is the jury's verdict.

Get well soon Shaka Hislop...
That sounded bad.
More Saudi bullshit. Trying to rent Mbappe for 1 billion Dollars this year. $332 mil as the transfer fee to PSG and $776 mil to Mbappe himself. Apparently. Mbappe is telling them to fuck off.
He’s no PGA TOUR golfer.
They are tired of bringing the Oil Money to England, so they are just going to bring the players to the Middle East!
Mbappe knows if he goes there and gets hurt, his dreams of playing at RM may be done and dusted. He's no fool.
His team is going to try to force the move to Spain a year early.

Apparently, if he's still on PSG's books on August 1st he gets a loyalty bonus of $60m.
"LOYALTY"!
Fuck those Froggy Oil-Money Grubbing Bastards!

Not a fan of European clubs touring Asia...time difference makes for complicated kickoff times. At least Japan is a modern country...few years ago when City went to China they had several matches called after a few minutes because either the pitches were so poor, or the air pollution was hazardous.
Just one start, but I've never seen anyone toying with an MLS side like he did last night. Unmarked way too often...signed Captain Obvious!

Spurs had their match called off on Sunday due to a waterlogged pitch. With a new manager playing a totally different style, they need games.
Hellooooo! It's Lionel Messi! You can't just let him run free behind you like that! Keep him in front of you! Sheesh. Didn't the defenders learn that in kiddie soccer? Ay, yi, yi, that was brutal defending.
If they were good enough not to make such mistakes, they wouldn't be playing in MLS.
Klaksvik of the Faroe Islands go through to the third qualifying round after going through on penalties.
The Harry Kane saga is getting comical. Bayern made their "final offer" yesterday for Harry Kane. They set a deadline of midnight for Spurs to accept or decline it. Not only did the deadline come and go without a word from Daniel Levy, but this morning he went on vacation.
EDIT: Latest news? It's a 2 week vacation.
Not sure I believe that, but that sounds like a Daniel Levy stunt.
Is Harry Kane taking a darkness retreat, or a ghee cleanse?
