Protecting the big clubs once again.

I didn't need to read the Wiki entry, so no I didn't ignore anything. You haven't seen the videos. No-one knows what the new evidence was. I don't think it's ever been publicised. But what was publicised was Greenwood beating the shit out of his then girlfriend. Clear evidence, not a Wikipedia line. Charges being dropped doesn't equate to not being an abuser.

Sorry but that doesn't absolve who he is or what his behaviour is like towards women. Whether fans know about it or not shouldn't be the decision-maker for Dortmund, and Dortmund themselves would fully know his history (if not, they must be living under a rock). It's not about Dortmund's reputation in the UK, either. There's probably a reason football magazines or media outlets didn't report it. It may be that they didn't want to be open to all kinds of legal minefields on what they can/can't report. Have you seen the videos of when the abuse surfaced? They're not pleasant. He's a vile man and Dortmund would do well to steer clear of signing someone like this, whether his reputation is bad/not known in Germany or not.

It's his domestic abuse history - I wouldn't want him anywhere near us!

Scotland is the worst. Closely followed by Bulgaria, Croatia, Russia. Other leagues may be repetitive but at least there's at least 1 different winner in the past 5 seasons.

Don't do it, Dortmund

Built like a brick shithouse fucking hell

Alaba, Sabitzer, Arnautovic, Weimann, Kalajdzic? They're more than just one very famous player. They're by no means the best country and probably won't be in top 2 based on Netherlands/France being streets ahead. But they're better than Slovenia and I fancy them to finish ahead of Poland. Belgium are beyond their golden generation but even so, I cannot see them finishing behind Ukraine.

Amazed he lasted this long as a Man Utd player.

Gutted for you @Tommy.

Whirlwind of a game. Shame Düsseldorf couldn't see the game out and just get one goal despite Bochum's 3, but for the neutral it's been exactly what was wanted. Düsseldorf need to show some real belief and desire now and not let the previous 90 affect them!

Week 41 Results Central Coast Mariners (aet)3-1 Melbourne Victory Celtic 1-0 Rangers Man City 1-2 Man Utd Real Sociedad 0-2 Atletico Madrid Barcelona Women 2-0 Lyon Women Kaiserslautern 0-1 Bayer Leverkusen St Louis City 1-2 Seattle Sounders Frosinone 0-1 Udinese Leeds 0-1 Southampton Club Brugge 0-0 Cercle Brugge Round-up The penultimate summary for the 23/24 seasons as finals and last domestic games were contested, some of which were local derbies/rivalries. Only 1 game had more than 3 or more goals which goes to show tightly contested these games can be to predict for. In the table, there was no movement again but @Bluebird Hewitt closed down on @CaaC (John) to just two points to be in with a chance to finish 2nd after next weekend's games. Highest score came from @Rucksackfranzose with 15 points, who could also jump up to 2nd with a similarly good week next week; he also got Prediction of the Week for being the only one to predict a goalless draw in the Brugge derby. @Tommy did well to score 14 points and he was the only other player to score 2 perfect scores.

Yep, he's very stubborn. Basically played the whole season in the same base tactic and significantly suffered when teams chose to opt a low-block tactic. Seems like Chelsea fans aren't too enamoured about it, either.

Have set up a league is anyone wants to join... https://gaming.uefa.com/en/eurofantasy/leagues/Aiso4r/005000610072006D006100720020004500750072006F0073/Sunil

Pretty much this. Foolish for him to reject it given the copious extra resources and circumstance at each club. Bizarre from Chelsea considering the previous managers they've gone for and that they rarely give managers an actual chance. Wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't work out for him but Enzo's stock not being impacted. Shame he's leaving us as I think he was building something decent here and deserved a shot to see how he does with us in the PL, but I just hope we get our next appointment right. Plenty of options out there.

Surprised to see Perez there despite the good season at Betis. I expect he won't make the final cut but good luck to him if he does.

Loads much faster, thank you.

Wow, you counted that very quickly.
