That euro group draw looks  kind ... or it did until they let it be known our pair up for the knockouts is with the group of death 

It won't be a problem. They'll all be dead. ?

Does anyone at Arsenal really know what they are doing ? Still got Brighton half time/full time so  thanks once again . Didn`t even know Ozil was playing until i noticed him walking off the pitch at the end , after pocketing  another few hundred thousand  for very little .

Serie A take their own "unique" approach to their NO TO RACISM poster ?

It hasn't exactly gone down well, has it?

I’ve just sat through the whole of Everton and Arsenal and feel that must be worth some kind of award . To say it was one of the worst games ever would be an understatement 

Looking forward to seeing your name in the New Year's Honours List ?

I had Radio 5 on for part of the duration of that game earlier today. To their credit, nobody tried to talk it up. It sounded grim.

Failing that, a Darwin Award. :kolobok_wink:

Racism  reared it`s ugly head again yesterday but that`s not the full picture with football fans .Game after game you see a disputed throw in given and the front half dozen rows of fans stand up and hurl abuse at the linesman/away player involved . Corners are the same with the odd hand gesture and missile thrown at nearly every away corner taker .It`s not just racism it`s what is and is not acceptable as suitable behaviour towards players or officials of any race or colour .

Indeed , there’s a whole university course on how people change nature in a crowd , or football crowd anyway .As for racism and bigotry , I don’t think it’s a new issue but a new attitude that it’s getting called out now , and of zero tolerance .

All I want for Christmas (well, January) is to sign the Ginger Pele...

...as, partly, thanks to his 21 goals so far, including 14 in his run of scoring in 10 consecutive games (hopefully 11 consecutive on Boxing Day), I can say...

Let's just say, so far, this has been a good season! ?

5 or 10 minute sinbin for foul mouthed dissent would be good . Do it twice and you’re off

Like a lot in football, it's somewhat botched at the minute but I think it's having an effect. It doesn't tie in properly to cards at the minute so there's a few things that need sorting before it moves up the pyramid.
