I get the feeling these are mostly teams in eastern European countries, but I wouldn't be surprised if a PL team were involved on one or more occasions.

"Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina has admitted the Anfield outfit 'can't compete' in the Premier League title race."

ptchah. I could quote a phone-book worth of RAWKites who differ, Pepe.

Watching Kun's goal again - You could say that one of the players standing there gawping in the box should have covered the goal a bit, but yeah. If Reina was going to run that far, he should have committed to something at the end of it. You can't go that far from your goal and act as a mere screen.

Barthez vibes.

The fear that a nut won't come back down when it seemingly abseils up out of ur sack - so bad. Momentary, scarcely rational, but acutely bad.

my left nut sometimes feels very sensitive when it's slapping against flesh during certain activities.

i don't feel anything weird on it, though, but it should probably get that checked out sometime.

Hmm....I might understand it better if you provide some sort of diagram.

Nuts are a minor concern, though.

We established beyond question, beyond sane doubt, that banjo-strings are the focus of male terror.

You're deluded if you think anyone other than some shit Russian team gives a crap about the Europa League.

Rafa would [Keegan]love it[/Keegan]. Another trophy for his website.
 
Schmelzer, Reus and Götze are injured and will miss the friendly against France.

It says they'd rather rest their players for the Premier League.

Would think clubs like Liverpool and Chelsea with no hope of winning anything else would care just a bit for it.

Well the Europa League is the highest level of competition that Newcastle can hope of winning. Maybe YOU should give a crap about it.

We don't, because I'd rather stay in the Premier League than risk injury in a tournament that won't even be around for much longer in its current state.

Dude, every Newcastle fan around the world would lose their shit if we won it.

Mourinho is coming back to put his photos on the walls again, fat Spanish interim twat will be written down as Romans biggest brain fart and be out of a job for 2 years again until Frogson retires.

Why are people still following the narrative that the Europa League is shit? It's certainly a flawed competition structurally, but look at the teams competing. Bollocks to it being shit.

Obviously.

But we won't even field our best XI until quarter or semi final if we even get there.

It's a shit tournament due to the way it's structured. Can't take a tournament seriously when B teams are played for most of it.

We'll be playing a very strong team against Metalist, mark my words.

It's beneath their dignity, Wilbz.

It's certainly beneath ours. Like squabbling in public for a single roast beef crisp.

So one of these teams:

Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, Manchester City, Tottenham

are complete scumbags? I am shocked.

I suppose that the club could've been unaware and it was just the officials that had been paid off, but that seems unlikely.

I think it might have been Chelsea/Barcelona.

Chelsea denied 2 clear penalties in that game and we all know Barca are morally and ethically bankrupt anyway.

But that's just wishful thinking on my part.

That's far more likely, if you look at the highest sum reportedly paid, it was 140k I think, not a single player for one of those teams would risk fixing a match for that price. They make it in 2 weeks.

It'll be a referee, or a small foreign team, in an unimportant game, who let Liverpool thrash them 8-0.

The man in charge is a murderous gangster. I don't know if that prods your suspicions in one direction or another.

Actually Clegg raises a fair point. The game involved an English team, not necessarily that the fixing was an English team

Don't be so sure. Weren't #BasedGlazers in need of money to pay down dat debt?

No, they knew we had squillions coming down the sponsorship pipeline from fizzy ginseng manufacturers and other goober enterprises.

If things got really bad we would have cashed in on Macheda.

Should probably not trust the 7-11 security cameras quite so much

Very unlikely to be one of these three because:

1. Arsenal have no money for players, they aren't going to spend on match fixing
2. Tottenham had no surprise results in their one season and also have no money
3. If City paid for some of those CL games I hope they kept the receipt
 
My gf told me a great story from the other night. She was out with friends getting a drink from the bar and noticed a kid wearing a Man City shirt (impressed she even recognized it). She ask him if he supported City and he just stared surprised that she 'knew about football'. She then told him she knew enough to know not to like city. <3 when he asked who she supported she told him Villa and he just continued to stare dumbfounded. When he finally managed to form a sentence he asked why she doesn't like the best team in the premier league to which she replied: they only won because they have the most money.

I can't believe she listens to me when I rant about the EPL and apparently the times we spend on Saturday mornings in bars watching Aston Villa with the supporters group has rubbed off on her.

I thought some of you would get a kick out of that.
