Ah.....

Well we can at least console each other that we both support toilet football clubs....[&:]
Indeed. Although you can find some comfort that your team compete for the title in the best football league of the world.

Sadly that ship has sailed [:(]

Everyone expected Leicester City to blow up. But the reason "lesser" individuals/teams blow up is because the pressure gets to them when the better team starts coming back at them. But what has been forgotten is that of those teams:

Chelsea and Man United were never in it and Arsenal and Man City are the ones that have "blown up". There is no reason why Leicester should be afraid of a Tottenham team that have won little more than Leicester (2 league cups to 1 I think) in the last few years.

Spurs have a nasty run-in compared to Leicester (Man Utd, Liverpool and Chelsea!) not to mention 5 points to make up.....

No, its the Foxes for the taking now.

Some "supporters" crossed a line that never should be crossed. Sad really. [:(]

Will be following the German 2nd league next year, Hannover96 weren't strong enough to survive the first league this year.
This morning one of their 19 year old strikers died in a car accident. So not much good news from my side of European Football.

On to (potentially) brighter news.

Best of luck to Brighton and Burnley today. Nothing against Middlesbrough but would be great to see these two in the Premiership next season; Burnley because they are one of the "great" names from yesteryear and Brighton because I want to see Chris Hughton doing well - a much underrated manager.

Here's one to make footie fans chuckle.

Aston Villa have been an absolute disgrace this season and will bow out of the Premiership plum last and with less than 20 points to their name.

Their fans? Look at this clip. The Villans were away at Watford and listen to the reaction from the fans when they won....... a corner. Priceless [&o]

Well done Villa fans - hope you return to the Premiership next season.
