Next week realistically could be our last European game for a long time. Nothing to lose, attack them from the first whistle.

The Leeds supporter I know always maintained that he was a decent championship level player for years that no one thought much of who suddenly became a world beater with Bielsa's influence. Guess he's just regressed to his base level. Been thinking this for a while now. Bielsa transformed Leeds ove...

Don't sit back now.

Hopefully there's enough British teams out of the competition now so we can have the 8pm home slot again.

Think we've been very fortunate with our draws in Europe, so we're 100% due Liverpool.

Konsa sent off for Villa in the Connie League.

Absolutely dead around the ground. Not a single queue at security or the turnstiles. All feels very League Cup third round/Conference League group stagey.

Ajax get Villa in the Conference League. Difficult tie for Villa, despite Ajax having a poor season. Would like us to be the only English winners of the Conference League for as long as possible.

Would've got Lens if Freiburg didn't get a 92nd minute equaliser and went on to win it in extra time last night. As everyone says, it's incredibly boring, but at least our supporters will be able to tick off Freiburg's ground after we were banned for the group game. Seem to remember we blew them awa...

We play Burnley on 10 March this year. Ten points for anybody who can remember what happened last time we played Burnley on this date.

Interested to see what happens with the Osman deal if it gets over the line. No idea if he'd need a work permit as he's a Ghanaian nation (with zero caps at any level), and has only been in Denmark for about a year. I assume somebody on here would be a bit more clued up than I am though.

Hope it happens at this point and the big six leave the Prem so things can be a bit more interesting and competitive.

Noticeable contingent of Freiburg supporters in the home end. Will be interesting if they open the scoring.

Nine goals in six U21 appearances for Marshall this season.

The Serbian team we've drawn are basically Hungarian. Play in an ethnic Hungarian area of Serbia, funded by MOL, a massive Hungarian oil company and Viktor Orbán - Hungary's president. Their badge is basically a copy of Ferencváros' too. There's a decent article about them here: https://balkaninsigh...

Qatari sports outlet Al Kass seems to think Al-Nassr were the club interested in Kudus, but also now report that it's off due to Al-Nassr "not obtaining the necessary financial guarantees to finance the deal". Not that surprising, considering they've spent €27.5 million on Aymeric Laporte,...

Xhaka was investigated for spot fixing last year. Have a read of this, sounds quite similar to what Paqueta is being looked into at the moment: https://www.marca.com/en/football/arsen ... b45a2.html

Looks like he’s on trial at Manchester City, fair play.

Nice touch we revealed our new third kit at the same time as signing him. Welcome to East London, Carlos!

Proper instinctive finish, gutted it's been ruled out. Hopefully we can use him if we're home and dry in the Europa groups with a game to spare. 21/22 debuts in Europe: Chesters, Forson, Perkins, Potts. 22/23: Casey, Laing, Mubama, Simon-Swyer, Scarles. Heard very good things about Clayton, Orford, ...

AZ Alkmaar won the UEFA Youth League this season, thrashing Barça and Real Madrid along the way using some sort of new innovative technique: https://www.skysports.com/amp/football/news/11096/12871411/az-alkmaar-use-brainsfirst-test-to-identify-best-young-talent-and-it-has-helped-them-win-uefa-youth-...
