Then you'll surely have immediately put the money on him being second goalscorer?

 

Was too busy ranting about not sticking him on for first goal.

Could be wrong but it appears Leeds U21s are 2-0 up in the national league cup final.

Seems to be a frankenstein tournament of national league teams vs premiership/ championship reserves.

Least so far englandshire hasnt seen fit to put u21 premier teams in their lower leagues.

PSG 1-0 up on Arsenal at half time. Pretty even so far. 

[manc_don]

I was hoping we'd be able to continue to laugh at the dirty PSG pricks failure to progress in the chumps league a while longer.

Birmingham City set a new English league points record.

108 out of a possible 135points with one game left to go.

Looking like all English final for Europa league as both Spurs and Manchester United both 2-0 up before half time. Bilbao down to 10 as well.

Hamilton appeal dismissed as I see reports they are going to relocate to Broadwood next season and planning a new stadium in Hamilton, whilst clyde stay at new douglas park.

Off the ball was right about getting netflix to make a documentary about the bonkers elements of scottish football

Given spurs and Man utds form this season I wouldnt completelty rule out Bilbao and Bodo yet.

That late bodo goal might be the 2nd last nail in Ange's EPL coffin

Modern European club football is royally fucked.

Certain I saw somewhere that if United, Spurs & Chelsea all reach the respective finals then England would get six teams in the Champions League.

That is 30% of the league 

Total fucking madness.

Falkirk beat Hamilton 3-1 to secure their return to top flight. At least it’s not Livingston I suppose.

Guaranteed five as things stand I believe Al based on the coefficient. Plus the winner of the Europa league gets in as well.

Looks feasible that England will have nine teams in Europe next season.

As a stenny fan a bit of me wanted them to bottle it but it was a great watch and I knew a lot of those faces around the pitch.

Big night tomorrow. Can stenny do back to back promotion via the playoffs?  Airdrie at home 1st leg.

Even better that arsenal kindly moved to wednesday to accommodate me this week.

Saw Stenny had made playoffs and could relegate the cunts that are Airdrie. 
 

Will be over at Edinburgh City v East Fife tomorrow night. City manager should be up for manager of the year. City team were assembled at last minute over the summer with no cash and he has managed to get a team together that made play offs ahead of teams with bigger budgets.

I stand to be wrong but I can't see past Airdrie for those playoffs. Stenny have struggled recently, Cove had a bad patch for a couple of weeks but ended a bit better and Queen of the South have been great in the last quarter of the season but I think Airdrie will have too much for any of them. As someone with family in Dumfries and who goes to see Queens if they're at home while we're visiting, that's a pity!

Really surprised at Airdrie’s league form this season after our league cup game against them where they looked a decent side. Cove gave Arbroath a real run for the title for a while then faded in last few weeks but think it will be between the two of them.

Agreed, think Airdrie will comfortably deal with Cove though. The plastic at Balmoral will suit Airdrie, and it's a nice big pitch too, which I think will favour them. Airdrie, in general, though, are probably just a bit too easy to play against in that league. They try and play through teams and don't have the quality to do so, so end up giving away numerous chances stupidly. They're like St Johnstone, and us when we're not at full strength (or playing St Mirren). Frustratingly they have quite a likeable manager and aren't a dirty side, but are still fucking Airdrie. 

[BigAl]

Not going well for Stenny

Two down at half time in first leg 

Elgin look like they're struggling having conceded four at home against Annan to trail 2-4.

 

[BigAl]

Ayr Huns ahead against Patrick 

Connor McLennan with the he assist

Jesus H

Inter V Barcelona unbelievable stuff as it goes to three each deep into stopage time to make it six each on aggregate.

Another half hour incoming 

[BigAl]

4-3 Inter 

[BigAl]

What a couple of games Inter and Barca have served up in this semi final.

Breathtaking stuff
