European Football 2024-25

What the hell are you talking about?

He has a weird agenda against everyone with a Rangers connection, it's never ending.

He hates Rangers more than he supports Everton constantly infiltrates every topic about how wank someone who played for Rangers upon a time is, he'd be as well bursting into a Fields of Athenry chant at this point.

You can't tell me that's not a rampant Celtic fan with Everton as a "second team", i've never met an Everton fan in my life who has such strong opinions on ex Rangers players.

The mere presence of Billy Gilmour celebrating a league title has sent him into a rage.

Pepe Reina got a red card for Como against Inter. I can’t believe he hasn’t retired yet. Be hilarious if that’s how he goes out of the game.

It is.

He's now officially retired!

Scotto! Scotto!

Voted player of the season. What an achievement and a great advert for British players to explore the continent for game time.

Amazing to lose your best 2 players and then build a team capable of winning a title. Shows it can be done.

A massive hats off to Conte.

I'm less interested in thread European footie and @davek doing his thing.



Back to the footie... Well in Napoli, big Rom rolled back the years with their second didn't he?

 

[davek]

And apart from gueye is still more successful than anyone in our squad

I very much hope not.

He's a player who had half a decent game for Chelsea against Liverpool about 5 seasons ago and has been living off it ever since.

5 yard passes he's safe enough with. Dont let him be any more adventurous than that though. Conte was taking a massive gamble allowing him to get game time. No wonder he hates De Laurentiis for keeping funds from him.

 

[davek]

They said tonight that he has never scored a top flight goal for any club. Can’t be right is it

I wouldn't doubt it.

It's dedication, I'll give him that

It’s a shame corky isn’t here to add some spice.

Has he been banned?

Played for Rangers though, so apparently it doesn`t count.

For the first time in 29 years, Stuttgart are the Pokal Holders.



They beat a very spirited, and 3rd tier Arminia Bielefeld 4-2 yesterday in Berlin and will be in the Europa next year.

All to play for in Belgium, where Union Saint Gilloise can win their first title for 90 years (their twelfth overall), with a win on the final day against Gent.

Club Brugge point behind, and face Antwerp at home.

In Italy, lots to sort out on final day, with 7 games, all meaningful too.

Juve, Roma and Lazio will battle it out for the last CL spot. They're all guaranteed Europe.

Juve travel to Venezia, who need to win to stay up themselves. Lazio host Lecce who are above Empoli on head to head (that'll go to a playoff if both lose), with Roma travelling to Torino, for Ranieri's last game as a manager (although, we said that last season - when he kept Cagliari up).

At the bottom, 5 teams can still go down in the final 2 spaces. Parma, Verona, Lecce, Empoli & Venezia. Parma go to Atalanta, so they, Lecce & Venezia have the hardest task at hand. Empoli play Verona, which will be interesting to see how that pans out... if Venezia and Lecce are losing heavily, I wonder if a handshake might occur which will see both sides survive.

All to play for, excited to see how it Lane out!
