Rival watch

Hamburg are one of the biggest clubs in Germany, frequently filling the 57,000 capacity Volksparkstadion.
They were relegated for the first time in 17/18 and have narrowly missed out on promotion every year.
This season they've finished 4th, missing out on the promotion play-off which 3rd place would provide.

To make things worse the top 2 are St Pauli and Holsten Kiel, their two nearest neighbours.
They both go up automatically. Here's the St Pauli fans in the street before their latest game:

****ing embarrassing and it shouldn't be allowed to host games in that state.

 

In the words of Jimmy Liddel :

1. That's a foul !!!
2. He was offside !!!
3. I'm not having that, mate !!!

 

Would you say we have paid a lot of money the last few seasons on "wrong" players and by who?

 

Luis Diaz and common assault

Name a more iconic duo

 

Well Villa imploding....

 

I obviously went too early ......

 

Duran Duran

 

with a view to kill off any chance of us finishing 4th.
Same joke. Different day.

 

Man Utd and the Poool not holding their part of the deal.

 

I wouldn’t make a deal with either at present, especially not Utd

 

I'm calling it now, we will beat City, Villa will lose to palace and ............we lose at Sheff utd due to a dodgy lasagne the night before

 

Good thing rcl has the whole summer to work with you.

 

Apparently Fraudiola says Citeh success is not all down to money:

He's right of course. It's also down to industrial scale rule violations.

 

Of course he is that's why next season Crystal Palace and Brighton are the favourites to win the league.
With Ipswich to finish runners up. If only Nottingham Forest were in the Champions League.

 

We don't actually know what some of these clubs have been spending, either.
That's one of the many issues when you allow dictators and criminals to own clubs.

 

I read that the Spurs manager doesnt understand that "some" Spurs fans want their team to lose to City. Another manager that is not a "Spurs man!?"

 

TBF I don't think any manager is ever going to say "Yeah, we're going to throw a game"

Something to do with whacking great fines and points deductions

 

I wonder what Bill Nick would be thinking IF he was Spurs manager today?Kill 'em Spurs! Up The Arsenal ?...Oh I'm bad!
