Free live football at 1100 British time today on www.sportal.gr with the Greek Super League 2 clash between Ellas Syrou and Athens Kallithea. If Syros win, they will be on the cusp of the play off places (in a ten team division top 4 play off for 1 promotion place, bottom six ‘play-out’ to try to avoid four relegation places). Across Super League 2’s North and South divisions (20 clubs) a total of eight teams go down (which is calamitous as you immediately go from pro to amateur status). So for Syros, getting in the top 4 is more a case of ensuring they can’t be relegated. Then on Wednesday at 1130 am British time (ridiculous ko time) the mighty Olympiacos visit Syros in the Greek Cup. A (very unlikely) win would probably see Syros in the last 12 of the cup.

I see the Frank master-class at spurs is continuing to show the Aussie fraud up.

There's been some talk of the endless negativity of the fans affecting the players during weekly league performances, so players are underperforming and not meeting ridiculously high expectations.

It's an interesting debate - few doubt the effect of a positive loud crowd, but does the endless groaning, negativity and silence affect players in team sports - certainly affects the surrounding crowd and tarnishes the atmosphere, I can't stand to listen to endless complaining and moaning and screeching from spectators and armchair/pint-holding critics - maybe clubs need to promote responsible support and that the habit of incessant complaining of a few doesn't bring it down for all.

Farke always seems to do well in the Championship, but can never continue that in the EPL. Is Championship his level? Or is it the players he has available/transfer funds etc.?

he def has a rubbish team at norwich

not sure about leeds, but a quick glance, and they are using far more of their champ squad than sunderland are
sunderland are using 2 or 3 of last seasons team in their lineups, be interesting to see how sunderland do when afcon starts, most of their signings will all be away for a month+

I actually had never thought of looking at it like that.
