One of the clubs I vote we keep our HNA eye on this season are Suditrol. Among a host of very recognisable names in Serie B are Suditrol, from a town in the very north of Italy near the Austrian border where many of the residents speak German Formed in the 90's and an amateur club until 2000, they g...

Deportivo La Coruna on a good run in the Spanish 3rd div. looked like play offs were likely to be their best bet for quite a while but the others at the top have all been dropping points recently and they are now up to 3rd place, 2 points off the top

Patrice Evra convicted of posting homophobic abuse online

New proposal in play. 60-80 team multi divisional league system 'based purely on sporting merit' to replace the Champions League

get to f*ck you clowns

Only just learned that Plymouth's goalkeeper did his ACL at the weekend and is now out for ages. Was listening to an EFL review update on a podcast this morning and they said if you had to pick a player who was the most important to any team in the EFL it would be the Plymouth goalkeeper. also said ...

FTR - I actually think this is a big deal and think something pretty severe will happen to them if found guilty. I am not in the 'the PL will do f all about it' camp

would love a Calciopoli type situation in English football

if they were banned from Europe for, say, 2 seasons, then that would have a real world impact as players would want out, and others wouldn't join. I would say a a good punishment would be a 2 year euro ban, a transfer window ban, and start next season on a large points deduction If found guilty … i...

Balogun now overtaken Mbappe as top scorer in Ligue 1. he is on loan to Reims from Arsenal and olays for England under 21's

Not bad for a 21 year old playing for a team in the bottom half of the table

Braga's great run came crashing to an end with a 5-0 defeat to Sporting Lisbon. Among the goalscorers was Marcus Edwards

handcuffs goal celebration incoming no doubt

Cremonese, winless and bottom of Serie A, knocked out Roma in the Coppa Italia QF last night having already knocked out league leaders Napoli in the round before

shifting over my conversation from the Euro football thread about my new adventure of going to see a load of lower league grounds. which teams/grounds would you like to visit in tiers 3-5 if you could? when looking within 2 hours or so from home I have Cheltenham & Forest Green quite high on my ...

'Footie'

Great work from West Brom to bring in Albrighton & Chalobah. Darlow to Hull looks decent business too WBA are probably right in the **** if they don’t go up. Also, what are the ffp rules in the PL? Surely Chelsea must be pushing it now? Then there’s ManC, are they being investigated still? Is i...

PSG 0-0 at halftime with montpellier. They misses a pen too.

PSG taken 4 points from the last 4 games

Juve fans have mobilised in protest against the Italian FA over their points deduction and are encouraging fans to cancel their tv subscription to Serie A matches. It is believed 500,000 have so far cancelled.

an interesting idea I guess. I wonder if it actually has an impact though

I was just looking at the exact same thing for English football!!
