@AndNobbyDancing Congrats to the Saints - back where you belong! The perfect karmic reward for your lovely act of kindness 😊

Championship line up

Some latest manager rumours

Enzo Maresca in talks with Chelsea
Graham Potter considered by Brighton

where did you get the graphic from? the new owner changed Wednesdays emblem back to the original style a few years ago - this graphic includes the best one, the 70s owl (and gosh am i relieved to see my boys on there)

I think I got it on twitter from one of those gambling sites, it asked people to make predictions for next season.

It was an advert that popped up and I took a screenshot

Really pleased that the U17s got through. It was a good match.

Seeing Pompey there it makes me even happier that Saints are promoted.

Some good teams in the Championship, I spent a lot of time in Pride Park so my Championship allegiance is there.

Brilliant goal by Moore for the under 17s.
Italy now in the quarter- final.

drama in the 2->1st division playoffs here. They are 2 legs, and played between 3rd from bottom and 3rd from top in the 2 leagues. Bochum (potentially relegated) against Fortuna Düsseldorf (potentially promoted). 1st leg last week in Bochum and Fortuna romped home with 3-0 win. Yesterday evening i went to bed at half time when Bochum had just gone 1-0 up in the first half. Awoke to the news that Bochum pulled back yesterday to 3-0 (so a draw) and extra time then penalties. Which Bochum won. and the whole of Düsseldorf left wondering WTF happened.

@Brefugee
And that's why footy is the best game in the world!
It's just impossible to predict a result.

Just caught this one on twitter. Thought you lot might enjoy it...

Haha brilliant! His face..

i notice he checked his shorts just to make sure he hasn’t been physically unmanned too. 😆

Obi-Wan Kenobi just scored a brilliant goal for Denmark U17 and they won the match on penalties.

I really hope he stays at Arsenal, but people are saying that he will to go Europe.

How long does it take to check a goal?

Although love the roar when the goal was allowed.

Neutral but I think a Olympiacos win would be good.

Maybe a year or two on loan before coming back might work.

I read that the problem is that he can sign a senior contract in Europe now, but has to wait until September I think before he can sign one in the UK.

Ah. I hope he stays, he's obviously got a certain amount of talent.

Haha is that his nickname?

Penalties for England v Italy now.
So many late chances for England we really should have won in normal time.

Oh dear

I have no idea!

Yes, we deserved to win in normal time.

How good were the Italian identikit penalties?

I'm supporting Denmark now because of Obi.

Oh England some talent in that squad though. A joy to watch.
