A few weeks ago I think that would have held some relevance, but with Norwich only needing a point to secure playoffs, I don't think they're as tough as first thought. Ipswich are well rested too considering they had a weekend off. I think they'll beat Coventry but perhaps draw with Hull. 

 

What I have learnt though is that just because teams have nothing left to play for in terms of playoffs or survival, they can still throw up a surprise of a performance. 

 

So yeah, who the fuck knows what will happen

 

Hull has a game in hand and Coventry has 2 in hand on Norwich.

Bochum 2-2 Hoffenheim

Bayern 2-2 Frankfurt

Leipzig 3-1 Dortmund

Freiburg 3-2 Wolfsburg

Augsburg 2-1 Bremen

Leverkusen 1-1 Stuttgart

Gladbach 2-2 Union

Mainz 2-0 Köln

Darmstadt 2-2 Heidenheim

Hertha BSC 2-2 Hannover

St Pauli 4-1 Rostock

Paderborn 2-2 Elversberg

Kiel 3-0 Lautern

Braunschweig 2-3 Hamburg

Schalke 1-2 Düsseldorf

Magdeburg 2-0 Osnabrück

Nürnberg 1-3 Karlsruhe

Wehen 1-1 Fürth

Just had a look at Ipswich's fixtures.  Away to Hull then away to Coventry in the span of 4 days.  7th and 8th place teams both battling for playoff positions and both games on the road.  Yikes.

Then home for Huddersfield to end the season who may still be fighting for points to stay up.

I'd say Leicester are up after that.  Would require a catastrophic last 2 matches to blow it now.  Need Ipswich to draw or worse at Hull now.

I don't think we should be pretending like things like this aren't antisemitic:

 

How would we feel if that was 5 black guys standing around with BLM flags & some guy in white robes holds up a sign that says "the Klan's next targets"? Some of the footage coming out of the Columbia protests are outrageous, the media coverage has been insane to me - it's scenes that rival that white nationalist "Unite the Right" in terms of open displays of racial hatred, sort of just being swept under the rug.

There's been this trend among the far-left to champion good and worthwhile causes that deserve support: Palestinian statehood, racial equality, ending police brutality... and then go about support of these things in the most repulsive and repugnant way that draws criticism for these worthwhile causes. Then leaving the movement in tatters for the next trendy cause to protest for. It's honestly a disgrace, because worthwhile causes that make the world a better place should be supported. But going about it in a way that is disgusting is going to do nothing positive.

And I don't see how displays like this picture from Columbia University, or chanting things like "gas the Jews" or "Jews go back to Poland/Romania/Europe" are going to lead to anything positive for those who actually want to see Palestinian statehood and a restoration of Palestinian human rights and dignity.

Did they find the shithead in this picture?  I'd fucking beat him myself.

I think the universities need to take a stance to not allow protests for either side on campus.  It's literally helping no one.

Please let it be half of the starting 11 for Hansa Rostock.

Just when you think you've hit bottom, they throw you a shovel.

DDR given a contract extension as well.  I like the idea of keeping him as coach but it's all going to go south eventually.  Would've been nice if he could just get them to EL final and into the CL and then walk off into the sunset.

I don't think he's failed at Roma tbh. I honestly don't understand why Roma have sacked him. He's taken them to 2 European finals with that squad and pennies to build it, and won 1. He's only 5 points off 4th place and they've sacked him after a bad run of fixtures when Roma have a nice easy run of fixtures coming up next. Most Roma fans online also seem to think sacking him was a stupid decision and that he should have at least been given some of these matches that on paper are easier to fight for his job.

Now they're giving the job to De Rossi. Club legend and all - but he wasn't really great at SPAL. I'd be very surprised if he does more than Mourinho was doing with this squad in all honesty.

Thought I read somewhere that their wage bill was 2nd in Serie A.  Certainly weren't cheaping out.

Ah, didn't read far enough.  Dan has it at 3rd highest.  Still, Mourinho dictates that you spend money.

Sorry, misread the initial post

7 Stuttgart players nominated for the EA FC24 team of the season.  Of course I voted for all 7.

I really don’t care for this sort of shit. Anyone that thinks food is a static idea that can’t or shouldn’t change with the people, ingredients, location, and times is just a food fascist masturbating to themselves on the idea of what something ‘should be’, it’s the same as people that bully or shame food based on their class, culture, or religion. 

Yeah, American cafes butcher the flat white coffee, who gives a shit? It’s all just a variation, extrapolation, riff, modification of something else. You want food purity? Go eat some unprocessed grains and a hunk or burnt meat in a cave.

 

ya right fahkin' too right cobber

True, but they were the best tacos I ever had.  I'd do it again.

@Viva la FCB, @Coma Can you tell me something about Emmanuel Iwe from Minnesota United? Read he had a trial at FCS this week. Saw he only played 3 matches with their first team, when googling him. That doesn't look that promessing in combination with him having to go through a trial?

Same as Viva, I don't pay much attention to MLS.  Sorry bud!

This thread had slipped to page 4.  I won't be having it.

But can he do it on a rainy night in Heidenheim?

Nein.

Had mine removed as an adult because I had developed cavities in them.  Dentist said no point in filling cavities, let's just remove them.  He crushed them and pulled them out in chunks.  The smell of tooth powder.... the pushing on my chest for leverage... the horror.
