100%. Massive Italian community and one of the largest in Europe outside of Italy itself. It's a very well-respected community, too, given the amount of small businesses/restaurants/shops that are in & around the town. There's some highly-rated Italian restaurants so if anyone ever does visit to explore it I'm happy to give recommendations. Others are just run-of-the-mill but still good.

Great news for Villa. Emery extends contract til 2027. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c6pyddj6z8ro

Inzaghi doing a fine job there.

Are they taking the piss

Insane goal by Latte Lath!

It's not. It's just senseless and stupid.

Summerville quality there. Gnonto finishing off the move. Brilliant game. Gnonto miles offside. Linesman has had a shocker. Not even close.

Strike and a half. Brilliant from Latte Lath.

One job, Boro. One job. How bad do you have to be to let Bamford score.

Booo. Silly challenge from Dijksteel. Clinical penalty from Summerville.

Well that's a lovely start

Also, we're talking several years through mid-90s all the way through to early 2010s that Man Utd built up a resentment within fans. Man City aren't anywhere near that yet. Man City can plead relevance and fans can wish for hatred towards them, but there just isn't the time built-up to hate them that much just yet. There's a valid dislike for what they do, but there's quite an intrinsic difference as to where that comes from - it's all off the pitch. Anyone disliking Man Utd from that time period is predominantly based on their success and arrogance from what they did on the pitch.

Week 36 Results Kaiserslautern 1-1 Wehen Aberdeen 3-3p Celtic Leicester 2-1 West Brom Man City 1-0 Chelsea Lyon Women 3-2 PSG Women Perth Glory 3-4 Western United Houston Dynamo 0-1 Austin FC Coventry 3-3p Man Utd Union S-G 1-2 Club Brugge Real Madrid 3-2 Barcelona Round-up A total of 39 goals across 10 fixtures - goalfests despite two matches only having 1 goal in them. Two others were cup semi-finals that ended in penalty shootouts after 3-3 draws after extra-time, and in Australia there was a 7-goal thriller. The weekend rounded off with a 3-2 win in El Clasico - only @CaaC (John) got this as a perfect score, helping to solidify 2nd place. @Rucksackfranzose did well to get 13 points and that meant he overtook @Bluebird Hewitt and is now level with @Viva la FCB. @Tommy is just behind them and one good week could propel him up further...

A dramatic weekend with some thrashings handed out on one day, and plenty of controversy the next day! Sheff Utd and Luton were the biggest losers, literally. Being on the end of 4-1 and 5-1 thrashings respectively hasn't helped their survival course. Sheff Utd are pretty much relegated with needing to overturn a 10-point gap in 5 games, even if they do still have to play the two sides directly above the relegation zone for now. Luton have a much better chance of survival despite their loss, with only being 1 point off survival and still have to play Everton at home... It's looking likely that Burnley vs Forest on the final day could be a relegation showdown... Everton and Sheff Utd involved in their games-in-hand - both against top 6 opposition. Now would be a great time for Everton to pick up a Merseyside derby win, but if they don't, their next 3 are against relegation rivals as an equally good chance to pick up points...

Cole Palmer out for the Arsenal game @Cicero?

They're now denying requesting the Attwell was taken off VAR duties What an absolute circus of a club.

You now have an actual decent manager so that will perhaps change. Instead of 14th each season it'll now be 13th . In all seriousness, they're very talented. I can see a club like Newcastle even throwing money at you/the players and enticing them there. Especially given Almiron seems to be coming to the end of his time there.

Be interesting to see how they manage financially (and what punishments will be forthcoming) if they a) get relegated and b) stay down for at least 1 season. Their recruitment must have screwed them up financially if they go down. Be amazed if they're not in breach of any financial stability rules for the 3-year period that this season and last season are included in.

Is what Danny said actually that bad, or even wrong? You let a 3-0 lead slip and had to take it to penalties and a very close offside decision go in your favour to get through. And I know you see the frailties of your own side because you've acknowledged it too. At 3-0 up you guys should never have been in the position you ended up in. Something wrong and very fragile at the club. Also gotta remember that several fans grew up with Utd getting every decision under the sun for the best part of a generation growing up in the 90/00s. Probably where any 'hatred' stems from from any other fan of the game. There's a lot of hate for Man City for very different reasons.
