Imagine being a Botafogo supporter.

This is the greatest meltdown of a club I've ever saw. Holy shit, Brasileirão is on fire

"There are things that only happen to Botafogo," they used to say. And now I believe it.
Imagine melting away an advantage of 15 points, and also salvaging the years of fucking Palmeiras and Flamengo in the process.

At least they are not Vasco da Gama, I guess.

Def not a good look, but I get what he is trying to say here. You guys are 2 points behind Inter at the top and with the point, you have a 4 point gap over AC Milan in 4th. You also don't ruin anything with the season by taking a loss here. But, like his playstyle, he fucked up this interview

It's tough. While Juve's position in the table is good, we've only played 3 teams from last year's top 6. None of the results have been encouraging.

- A scoreless draw at Atalanta at the beginning of October. Literal waste of 90 minutes of my life.
- A 1-0 win at Milan at the end of October. They were playing with 10 men for most the match and the winner was a deflected shot.
- Yesterday's 1-1 draw at home vs Inter.

Allegri's postmatch comments are meant to troll supporters like me, as he knows a large portion of the fanbase wants him gone. Fucking pisstaker.
 
After Union Berlin kicked their coach after the last matchday they have found a new coach: Nenad Bjelica. Who got kicked out at Trabzonspor in Turkey in October after 6 months. I honestly know nothing about this guy.

For some weird reason some journos brought up Raul as possible new coach before Bjelica got announced.

Union also played 1:1 this weekend so at least they stopped their losing streak of 9 games lost in a row.

I mean, with what I have seen, these are actually pretty decent results. I will be your glass half full guy and say that they need to get Champions League before Allegri leaves at the end of the season so you can get money and a new manager who can have some money to spend while also having young players coming up

From what I gathered, he bounced around Austria, lower levels of Italy, and Poland before making a name for himself by taking Dinamo Zagreb into the Champions League. He also coached at the other big club in Croatia (I think) before going to Turkey. They were also a higher end of the table team in Turkey but I don't think they were hitting the heights that the club were looking for, or maybe some issues in the dressing room

Young players coming up are definitely a reason to be optimistic for the future (as long as Allegri doesn't renew).

We have a player on loan at Frosinone called Matias Soule and he is one of the top scorers in Serie A this season. Next year, if Allah wills it, he will line up on the right side of an attacking trident with Chiesa and Vlahovic. In the midfield, we have a young Turkish player called Kenan Yildiz who chose Juve over the likes of Barca and Bayern. And for the back line we have Dean Huijsen, a promising young Dutch CB.

It's been a long stretch of mediocrity but if we can get a new manager next season, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Just please don't let it be Conte.

Do you reckon Vlahovic is staying long-term? Every time there's striker rumours in the PL his name always comes up as an option, especially after the financial issues Juve have dealt with.

It's hard to say for sure. Giuntoli is willing to sell him but only for a very high price. Most teams probably don't feel the asking price is justified, since he's struggled under Allegri. Maybe if a new manager comes in next season and gets the best out of him, an English team will decide to pay up. Until then, I think they'd probably prefer to look elsewhere.

For the player's part he seems pretty single-minded on staying at Juve, at least for now. The partnership between him and Chiesa goes back to their time at Fiorentina and it's clear they like playing together (even if it's under a terrorist like Allegri).

See, theres hope for next year. Just ride Allegri's bullshit to get a top 4 finish, thank him for his service, and make sure the door doesn't hit him on the way out
 
AC Milan's UCL campaign summed up in 4 tweets.

Leipzig had a shot but you don't sell your soul to tie or lose to the third best team in Germany at home.


Time to look at the final weekday for Groups E through H

E- Lazio and Atletico are through guaranteed. They both play each other in Spain to determine who will take top spot in their group, so at least there will be some excitement on the final day. Feyenoord guaranteed in the Europa league so they can enjoy the final day in Scotland as Celtic crash out yet again. Scottish football is all but dead.

F- Dortmund against PSG in Dortmund. If PSG win, they probably go through (GD is 3 Dortmund, 1 PSG). Dortmund are guaranteed to go through at this point so they might go for a draw that puts them through. Newcastle host Milan and both teams need a win to potentially go through, although Milan's goal differential is crap so its on Newcastle. Actual drama on the final day? Who would have thought you could have that in the Champions League

G- City cruise through, RB Leipzig easy second, Young Boys probably going to the Europa league. Booooring

H- Barcelona go to Antwerp, who currently have scored 3 goals and given up 15. So probably a win there. Porto host Donetsk and they are both on 9 points so that actually has some weight behind it

Goal difference doesn t matter , its the result between the 2 teams that matters so if PSG end with tied points with Milan or Dortmund ,they win and if they tied with Newcastle they loose regardless of GD
 
I don't think I've ever seen a goal from a set piece look so easy as the one United just conceded to Gala. What the hell happened there?
