    I thought he was sitting next to Ronaldo. However Ronaldo’s statue in Funchal looks like a cartoon version of him. What is it about Sports statues? Is the one at St Mary’s still the weird one?

    Anyone see this from last year, in the Bundesliga?
    Referee twice booked the same player for diving in the penalty box, only to check it on VAR and reverse both decisions.

    This is brilliant. I love the little hugs he gets both times. Referee humble in his mistakes. Tbf both looked like dives!

    The wheels are well and truly coming off at Citeh.

    Great comeback by Feyenoord

    That reminds me of a BBC mini series (though it might have been itv) many years ago where the premise was suddenly for some reason the entire country loses power and there's a total blackout for several days. One of the clips they show during the initial blackout was at a football game where the lights had gone out and the fans were chanting something like "what the hell is going on" (maybe not exactly that but something along those lines) and I'm pretty sure they filmed it at Fratton Park, or a stadium thst looked a lot like Fratton Park

    He's playing in Belgium, not exactly an elite European league.

    Champions league is a pretty elite league to play in though. Quite a step up from the championship.

    It’s the Europa League but your point still stands.

    Not sure who would want him that he’d consider an upgrade, unless he wants to move abroad permanently

    He’d be playing for a not exactly elite Saints team. If he learned to pass backwards

    Come on Wealdstone! I've parked there a couple of times when Saints have played at Wembley - excellent hospitality - so really want them to pull off an upset today.

    Ref injured at Wimbledon so they've had to grab a randomer out the crowd to be the 4th official.
