spent the weekend in Frankfurt with a Leicester fan and Boro-fan-DH anxiously watching the results.

Gladbach lost to a very late goal against Boo Leipzig Boo (i see pp may have friends/family headed there, it is a fab stadium and a lovely city)

Boro lost to a super late goal causing much wailing and gnashing of teeth
Leicester also lost

But the Mighty Sheffield Wednesday drew 0-0 to coventry and that is like winning the cup and the league...

It's not looking good for Leicester

Come on Falkirk..currently 2 -1 up against Rangers.
Always nice to see Rangers fail.

Imagine it won't be long for Rangers to start cheating to try and gain a win that's their usual MO.

Commentators curse?

Our ex player Chermiti scored, good to see him do well.

Omg I just remembered Arteta got MOTM.
We are cursed 😭

Oh yes.

Nooooo😁

Oh Falkirk I had high hopes for youse at 46mins.
Youse had a go unlike my team Aberdeen who this season fold easier than a deck chair.

Just saw on twitter-to paraphrase-

Chelsea fans cheering for City
Arsenal fans cheering for Chelsea
Everyone else-cheering for Sunderland

football is a funny old thing

Not sure if this deserves its own thread or not, but quite a big moment. We have the first female manager of a top flight men's team in one of the Big 5 leagues.

I saw that @Aphrodite89 -really hopes she does well and the players, club and fans support her 💪

We have a women's football thread as well.

Let's hope this appointment is only the beginning.

Would love to see Sarina Wiegman in the PL!

How did that happen? On bbc live text websites and palace were down 1-0 to Newcastle then palace score twice to make it 1-2. They can’t sell Mateta yet! He’s brilliant!

It happened because they were playing Newcastle who teams know will give the game away if there’s only one goal in it

Worried about spurs. My ex supported them. He’ll be furious if they go down.

Will they really? Well Newcastle’s loss is palace’s gain..

I so hope she does a good job

I’m absolutely devastated to say it as I love him, but I think it might be time for Eddie to go. After 3 weeks off from the PL that’s what we serve up? Absolute dross from start to finish. Not one of the players looked like they gave a flying fuck. I don’t understand what happened to ‘intensity is our identity’. Now our identity is, ‘losing from a winning position’. We’ve dropped 25 points from winning positions this season. We score one goal and do absolutely nothing about getting another and then we just wait for the other team to score twice against us. I’ll be heartbroken if it gets really nasty for Eddie as he gave me one of the best days of my life. But I just don’t see how we can carry on like this.

@Gonnagetgoingreturnsagain it was great to hear two BOOMS at Selhurst again

Not a good weekend for North London.

Yes, but it's the men's team she'll be managing for now (she's taking over their women's team in the summer) so this is the more appropriate thread I think.

ah well I’m south London. We always have rivalry. 😬🤣

@TheBabyFatmosscan’t quote but eagles fans are loudest ones ever! Can hear them where I live and it’s 5-10 mins drive away!
