Alaba knows what's up. Sadly my Bieber shirt is too small, doesn't come in my sizes

David Pratelli on Buffon: "Even superheroes can make mistakes."

Buffon is still awesome no matter what lol. Messi missed a penalty that would have gotten Barca into their 2nd final in 2 years but it didn't anger me cause he is still amazing <3

Pretty sure Juve still have the league

Also, Wooden..that pic. :lol
 
To celebrate the impending weekend I am going to watch the Kim kardashian vid this afternoon

Who wants a viewing party?

Oh and it sucks but i may not be able to watch the cup final, the wife is doing hair after work (she's a hairdresser) so I'll have the boy by myself and I think it's likely I'll be watching mickey mouse clubhouse instead

I don't know what's wrong with Schürrle and Sam but they have both been pretty down this season.

It's sad, they have been both good.
Now, Helmes will take his spot for the Euro :-(
 
You'll play CL group stage anyway. No need to worry.

Playing in CL is what worries me. Feel almost sick, haven't been able to get it out of my head that we lost to the #2 while missing open goals. We just had to get a fucking draw and it the league was as good as ours... AAAAAAAAARH, fuck sport, I want to go and listen to the champions league anthem again.

yep national referee in Australia (not A-League yet tho, one tier down)

I knew I didn't like you for a reason...a referee AND a Sunderland fan!
jk ;) Good luck on reaching the A-League.

I have always said that one area that the FFA needs to invest in is better quality refereeing. What is the support like from the FFA? Do they actually invest in your development?

Another thing that disappoints me is the lack of former professional players who choose to go into refereeing. This is a worldwide problem, not just an Australian problem. Players seem to like abusing referees, but none of them ever try to do a better job, do they...

The only example of a professional player in any sport making a transition to officiating is Australian cricketer Paul Reiffel. Everyone else seems to think they would be better tv pundits or "managers".

Eh, most players don't retire until their mid 30's and with the max ref age being 45... Yeah, doesn't make sense for them to get into that.

Bit nervous about tomorrow now. I really don't want to predict anything, just hope we put in a decent performance.
 
I'm quitting football after this season. I want my hair.

No worries. You can lose it all and then become our coach and lead us to glory.

Common Conte :(


All this talk of Higuain leaving Madrid makes me wonder if Marotta has something planned. We've been linked with him for what feels like ages, and he's definitely the killer striker we need. Here's hoping! Sorry Madrid fans, but we'll treat him well if he comes here. You can see him on odd weeks.
 
wtf Augsburg pretty much fired their coach, he'll go after this season.

What's happening next? BVB firing Klopp lol?

Edit: Got it wrong, he decided to leave. So yeah, okay.
 
Looking at Liverpool's financial report, they really need a new stadium. Lose almost £75m a year in revenue compared to Old Trafford for example.

FSG have alot of work to do.
 
Have we signed Kagawa yet?

He just said he'll announce his move to Man United after the cup final.

Well, actually he said he still hasn't decided what he wants to do and will have talks with his agent, after the final they'll decided. But we know what that means.

This is the reason for why I'll never like the Glazers. They are leeches that feed off the success of United.

£525m Borrowed by the Glazers to fund their 2005 takeover of Manchester United in 2005

£497.5m Interest, fees and bank charges paid out by United to service the Glazers' takeover since then, to 31 December 2011

£440m Gross debt still owed by Manchester United, who were debt free before the Glazers took over

Imagine if some of that money had been used for transfers instead of paying off debt.

I don't want Kagawa to leave :-(

In the contrary, I want him more Japanese goodness at Dortmund. And his association with Amini will be fantastic.
