I can't say I'm ever surprised that former Communist eastern-European countries with homogenic populations are racist. They can barely stand eachother, let alone people that actually look different. It is actually quite amusing to witness a Croat and Serb violently argue over their mutual shared history and cultures through the lens of ethnic biases. Watch them put aside differences when an Albanian or Bosnian enters the fray. Nothing unites like mutual hated!

He has almost spent his entire life at Bournemouth as a player and manager. I can't imagine 'boyhood club' really stands much of a chance against that.

To be fair, that’d make it a fair playing ground for him.

Who gives a fuck about Messi? This is the Ronaldo thread you numpty

No Italy, England, Germany, France, or Brazil, it seems. Not to take anything away from his achievements, scoring is still scoring but there is a lot of mediocrity on that list. Though I do suppose Portugal has never really had an elite squad as well.

I wouldn't say that is unexpected at all knowing Sassuolo

Neither is Devil Dick Willie.

What makes people say that X is a good leader anyway? Because he is wearing an armband? A leader or dominate personality will be just that regardless of an armband; and no, I do not think the likes of Roy Keane being an angry cunt makes him a good leader.

No 16 year old has self-awareness

For Burnley fans, a stronger case for Brexit has never been made.

Generic professional commentary consisting of gossip, cliches, and banal insight. Supporters that commentate the game to their friends/wife/child, usually guilty of the previous crimes. Overpriced beer and food. People that just toss their rubbish wherever they please despite the plethora of waste bins. 'Fans' that leave early to 'beat traffic'. Fairweathers that jack up the ticket price due to demand. Fans that think all sports and supporter group should generate a similar atmosphere. I'd rather creativity and a unique atmosphere but I understand it isn't always possible, something just happen organically and I believe they have to. An atmosphere/buzz/culture can't be forced. Angry pricks with a chip on their shoulder. Getting wound up isn't passion or atmosphere, it's just being an emotional cunt. Colours being too similar.

Saw the Hispanic doppelganger of Sandro Wagner today waiting tables. A shame as well, he's probably equally talented.

WTF I support Burnley now

Variety is the spice of life, afterall.
