So, who is looking forward to seeing PSG smash Spurs 25-0 in the European Super Cup...?
Ange says the 3rd season is better than 2nd so prepare for a spurs double next year.
a cup and relegation?
Seems so actually. Some major rights down the main street as the police sought to do whatever. I don't know and some stabbing and a Scooter knocked down.
It's going to be tough task blame LFC fans for these riots, but UEFA and the French government will give it a good go.
It took every ounce of self control to stop myself from posting this.
In Paris arrests were in the hundreds and two people died.
Psg acted like nothing happened and had a bus parade and macron turned up.
In Liverpool an idiot did some road rage and a million people celebrations instantly forgotten and certainly not reported on any mainstream news but he was.
That parade was one of the, if not the biggest winning celebrations in UK history and it was totally ignored as if it didn't happen.
All because one "saint", "teetotal", "veteran" and whatever else the daily mail want to label him as acred like a lunatic
Are the french right? (I don't think so personally)
Or is the UK right (i know it could easily have been a terror incident but it was quickly reported as not)

I don't know what you watched, but I saw a fair bit about the parade afterwards.
But anyway, it's natural that such an incident would cast a cloud over the whole day.
The French are well-used to rioting and disorder - it's a national pastime.
The parade numbers for plenty of attention. I'd much rather they didn't focus on a scum bag tbh
It was taken off the main headline due to that person but there was literally zero for the million people on the 10mil parade, zero shots of the team etc.
Just politicians wringing their hands
There's a fine balance to be made between having respect and showing a bit of decency about celebrating when people are lying in hospital or walking around mentally and physically scarred and not letting one idiot determine the whole narrative around the trophy parade. I don't know where that balance lies.
What happened in France - I find a comparison in that it happened after a footballing victory but other than that, actions and motives aren't similar in any way. Without having read much at all about it, it seems like a full on riot for the sake of rioting. I don't know if the fatalities are connected, the injuries seem to be. In light of those, if I was the one making the decision about a parade, I wouldn't have let it go ahead.

I found it astounding that macron could go get that photo op while cars were still burning
Differences in cultures are a hot topic just now. Even people who, national culture aside, you think are similar to you, turn out not to be - the stereotypical arrogance of one nation versus the stereotypical supporting the underdog of the other coming through.
Maybe that's unfair and it's simply personalities that differ greatly -
Which parade, theirs or ours?
I was at work all day watching ours for nearly 3 hours.
I didn't get to see theirs.
I thought you were talking about ours. I've not seen much of theirs. Wouldn't expect to either tbf
