It’s weird that news organizations like the BBC are covering this as if it’s a real thing with a real process behind it—and not clearly some nakedly invented “participation trophy” by a corrupt organization to curry favor with a corrupt and easily manipulated man-child. www.bbc.com/sport/footba...

I’ve worked on a few Fiorentina games so far this season. I don’t know what on earth is going on behind the scenes there, but they are absolutely horrendous. So poor today at Sassuolo. Very real possibility they will go down to Serie B; bizarre, considering the squad they have on paper

There's a reason why no team in Europe has won more at home than Villa in last three years. Cohesive, organised & so often tactically exceptional in exploiting even the strongest teams weaknesses. Arsenal have had shots but Villa are a constant threat, too
