Dortmund to win 3-0 against Arsenal. First goal by Lewandowski 41'
You saw it here first!
 
Arsenal and Rangers top of their leagues, I am a happy man.

Didn't realise the toon were sixth, quite a change from last year.
 
Final draw of the World Cup is coming, I expect an easy group for Argentina, no England or Italy please.
 
Difficult draw for my country :(

Spain and Chili are outstanding teams. I would not be surprised if we end 3rd in the group.

Yeah, that's a crazy group. I fancy the Dutch to progress though, you're a good 'big game' team.

I would be afraid of facing Souvlaki or Goulash further on in the tournament, not sure how well the Dutch team's intestinal tracts are developed, Chili could leave them a little raw at the back end moving forward.

Sorry, Chile!

It's like me typing "Schotland" instead of "Scotland". The 2 are so similar in Dutch and English ;)
 
Good luck Australia, you're going to need it! ;)

Yeah I personally couldn't be happier. Hoping that the soccerroos get hammered in all of their games and don't score a point. Should shut the soccer snobs up for a while here.
 
Anybody been following the Mackay-Tan saga at CCFC? Tan is just ripping apart every aspect of that club to commercialise it. One one had, he did achieve the EPL goal that fans wanted for so long, but was it worth what they went through? (Changing identity, etc)

A little. As a Crystal Palace fan I am devoutly if slightly guiltily hoping it ends as sourly as possible as every Premiership club in meltdown improves our chances of survival.

Simply put, it is not worth it - it's not like Cardiff were never going to reach it without him after all.

Agree with you there. Reminds me of London Welsh. Did anything to get in the big league, came around to bit them in the backside.

Not going to comment.

Oh crap I just did!
 
Football wants to learn from rugby.
... and it can only be said: finally!

In short: sin-bins, only captains being able to talk to the ref and moving the action 10 yards (aren't meters used in football?) in case of breaching this.

I'm not a football fan any more (used to be until some 10 years ago), but I think this changes can only bring good for football fans! Especially the 10 yard rule - one of the things I hated most was these bunches of idiots surrounding and harassing referee forcing him to this or that decision heavily influencing the game. Now only to do something with diving and acting - if seen on replay - straight red card and a long ban! And then maybe I can come back to football a bit ;)
