    So blatant, repulsive sportwashing still can't buy a Champion's League title. I detest Madrid just as much as I despise Citeh, but I enjoyed the hell out of that result.

    Yep. Not a fan of Madrid either, but I'll take them over the oil clubs any day.

    Hopefully City and PSG never win the Champions League trophy they both crave so badly.

    Enjoy, Cooper did a fantastic job.

    I'm a season ticket holder for 20 years at your arch rivals, I am not convinced we will even be starting the upcoming season.

    Quantuma handling of Derby has been nothing short of a trainwreck.

    The only person with any credit is Rooney in opinion.

    Make that the final now if both teams win their Semi Finals next week.

    Also my Nottingham Forest have just signed Jessie Lingard :eek: Now that's a statement signing for a newly promoted Premier League Team. I think that's the 9th player in (10 signed and 1 loan) with more to come. Around £70 million spent so far.

    In something that has made me very happy - The Guardian's Rumour Mill roundup mentioned a player being linked with Man Utd by the name of Benjamin Sesko.

    If he does go there, I have a feeling he might end the season in Deep Space 9th place...

    Another death at a match, this time in the Argentine league. This is never going to stop, is it?

    On top of that there were 125 killed at one in Indonesia.

    In the UK the changes since the 80s have made it infinitely safer to attend games - although there are still things to fix - but the way football is around the world is terrifying at times.

    Are there other players with Trek names out there?

    I posted over summer about a Benjamin Sesko being linked with Utd - about as close to a DS9 ref as you can get

    As Damar's first name is Muhammad, he'll keep his hands off Kanar......

    Haha! Well played sir.

    Although, as I found out recently, it isn't as militant these days regarding Islam and alcohol. Very surprised but some countries like Morrocco have almost a split culture in major cities between the young and old.

    But a very well set joke mate so sorry for having to be one of those "I think you'll find..." people

    There is a player with the name Jesús Corona (Mexiko) - he is missing in Qatar due to injury, not covid....

    Pelé has passed. R.I.P. Or how the Bajorans would put it... Walk with the Prophets.
