sabremike Posted May 24, 2021 Posted May 24, 2021 Congrats to Charlie Adam and the Dees on winning promotion to the SPFL today with their victory over Kilmarnock at Rugby Park. First time Kilie have been relegated in over 30 years.
Ryback Hates Bullies Posted May 25, 2021 Posted May 25, 2021 Brentford are pretty local to where I grew up. It's a shame the ticket allocation is so terrible as obviously it's not a big trip for their fans - Wembley can realistically hold a bit more than 10K fans safely.
odessasteps Posted May 26, 2021 Posted May 26, 2021 From the way some of the English media is talking, its like the Washington Generals beat the Globetrotters tonight.

Well... You can fit the entire city of Villareal in Old Trafford and still have room for 26k Red Devils. I liken it more to Wigan winning the FA Cup.
odessasteps Posted May 26, 2021 Posted May 26, 2021 (edited) I think on TS the other night, someone actually did make that comparisom to the Globetrotters. (I know, grain of salt) Edited May 26, 2021 by odessasteps
AxB Posted May 26, 2021 Posted May 26, 2021 It's moments like that, that prove there shouldn't be a European Superleague. Congrats to Man U, on managing to finish not only second in the league, and second in Greater Manchester, but also second in European club football's second competition. 1
The Natural Posted May 27, 2021 Posted May 27, 2021 @Jimbo_Tsuruta: Sheffield United have confirmed Slavisa Jokanovic as their new manager.

A bunch of Blues are already making those jokes. I want to scream at them to STFU with the premature jocularity until after Saturday, because this is City we're talking about and the gods of misfortune are always lurking over our heads like the GD sword of Damocles. 1

Good luck in advance, @Pete. A dear friend of mine is married to a Manchester City fan. Out of the choice of Man City or Chelsea to win the Champions League, I'd prefer the former.
Wyld Samurai Posted May 27, 2021 Posted May 27, 2021 (edited) Conte steps away from Inter because they need to cut costs... Zidane steps away from Real Madrid... Pirlo is once again rumored to being replaced with Allegri. Poch is in talks with Tottenham. .... I really want to see Conte at the Bernabéu. I think he'd be a great fit for them.

The Natural Posted May 29, 2021 Posted May 29, 2021 At the TENTH attempt, Brentford have finally won in the play-offs defeating Swansea City 2-0 to win promotion to the Premier League. Congratulations. 1 1
Guest Jimbo_Tsuruta Posted May 29, 2021 Posted May 29, 2021 Congrats to Brentford, care to swap Ivan Toney for Billy Sharp?
Ryback Hates Bullies Posted May 29, 2021 Posted May 29, 2021 The flag is/was a tribute to Rob 'Taff' Johnston, who was in my form class at school and continue to be a legend amongst the Brentford faithful for his dedicated and loud support. Imagine one of those loud singing UK NXT fans and multiply by a hundred . Died far too young sadly, but I hope this flag made it from Griffin Park to the Community Stadium. 2
odessasteps Posted May 29, 2021 Posted May 29, 2021 I was going to be happy for whichever team won this afternoon. Not so much for the Champions League final.

ReiseReise Posted May 30, 2021 Posted May 30, 2021 Cologne stays in Bundesliga after winning 5-1 in my selected home city of Kiel. Tough break for our club, they were 4 points ahead in the race for direct promotion with two match days left, lost both games 2-3 after being up 1-0 at half-time. In the first leg of the playoffs, Kiel won 1-0 at Cologne, then yesterday's game came and it was 1-3 after 13 minutes (1-2 after 5 minutes). Stings (and stinks), but maybe the club would overextend itself in Bundesliga. 1

Be nice if Brentford do that. Sorry for your loss. Bradford City has a permanent England flag in the Kop dedicated to the 56 who died in the Valley Parade Fire Disaster.

cubbymark Posted May 31, 2021 Posted May 31, 2021 Blackpool are League One Playoff winners vs Lincoln City. Cruz Azul won their first Liga MX title in 23 years vs Santos tonight. The team that suffered heartbreak after heartbreak, including the infamous Miguel Herrera Super Saiyan celebration in the rain. 1
Pete Posted May 31, 2021 Posted May 31, 2021 Completing the playoffs with League Two: Morecambe 1-0 Newport County (AET) The SHRIMPS~! go up to the third tier for the first time in their history.
AxB Posted June 1, 2021 Posted June 1, 2021 Carlo Ancelotti to Real Madrid, apparently. In other news, Eddie Howe turned down Celtic.
