May 25, 201311 yr ^ A statement of intent from Monaco today, with Porto's Joao Moutinho and James Rodriguez confirmed to sign for a combined fee of €70m. Also, Champions League football now on offer to future Europa League winners. So now in theory a club could win the Europa, take part in the Champions League the following season, stall in the group stages, drop back down to the Europa and continue the cycle while also dropping down their domestic league. An unlikely scenario I suppose, but a weird one all the same.
May 26, 201311 yr The trophy is for 2013 but Subotic's goal line clearance will be forever. You did us proud, boys and we'll never forget it.
May 26, 201311 yr Sad to see Dortmund lose in such a manner. Even sadder to see Robben as the hero...
May 27, 201311 yr One reputation as a big-game bottler shaken off by Robben, another acquired by the referee for not issuing Dante with a deserved second yellow for the penalty incident. Like many before him, the ref decided that because it was a huge final, some of the rules didn't actually have to be applied properly. He saw the foul, gave the penalty and realised Dante would have to walk, but didn't have the gumption to see it through. Such a tough break for Dortmund. Still, a breathtaking game with a brilliant atmosphere. Hats off to both teams and their fans.
May 27, 201311 yr As the old poem goes, Nemanja Vidic should have been sent off in 2010 League Cup final but wasn't, Uli Hoeness should pay his taxes but doesn't.
May 30, 201311 yr Hughes to Stoke a done deal. Says he wants to make them more offensive. Sometimes the jokes just write themselves.
June 3, 201311 yr Jose Mourinho headed back to Chelsea. Respect to everyone involved for doing such a good job of keeping it under wraps until now.
June 3, 201311 yr Mourinho, 50, replaces Rafael Benitez after leaving Real Madrid, and has signed a four-year contract.
June 4, 201311 yr What price the fans now pack away their A4 protest signs and forget all about poor Roberto Di Matteo?
June 4, 201311 yr What price the fans now pack away their A4 protest signs and forget all about poor Roberto Di Matteo?I trust that Chelsea supporters will keep the 16th minute applause in honour of 'Robbie' going for...oh.

June 7, 201311 yr List of all the released players in the Premier League. See anyone you want? http://www.premierle...ist-2012-13.pdf Only interest stems from learning little asides like Eric Lichaj's middle name, to be honest. Or the existence of the brilliantly named Joshua Richard Charles Darren Morgan Webb, once of Reading. Meanwhile my club has done the unthinkable and moved early in the summer market. Here he is, sensitively photographed by the avfc.co.uk gang. Welcome aboard, Aleksandar Tonev!
June 17, 201311 yr It would be nice to see Isco come on? Oh Lawro. Stick to the 'passive' aggressive hilarity of your little snidey asides, Mark, you blithering sociopath.
