Europa Results


ZORYA LUHANSK 0-2 MANCHESTER UNITED


Mkhitarian scored!

Zlatan finished it off. The pitch was frozen and the game was in danger of being called off, but it wasn't so whew.

SOUTHAMPTON 1- 1 HAPOEL BE'ER SHEVA

The Saints are out of Europa. NGL, I expected them to go further than Man United, tbh

But Sheva are through

Supposedly van Djick is expected to leave? We will see

FENERBAHCE 1- 0 FEYENOORD

Another scissor kick!

Nice article about Bayern players, Thomas Müller specifically, visiting fan clubs (that's a thing Bayern does). The locals made a film for him in which a small child played Philipp Lahm, to Müller's great joy. Sadly no film in the article.

That was a great article! Interesting that NY Times covered it and the guy who wrote the article, Rory Smith, now has a column on football; I suppose it's a response to the popularity of the sport in America.

RE: the article about Zizou was good too

Yeah, it was! I think Rory Smith used to write for The Times (of London)? Anyway, I'm glad the NYT have got a regular column. Most of their football articles were either during the international tournaments or before el Clasico.

That was lovely. I read it this morning - off a link from Twitter? - and didn't have time to post it. The Lahm bit was hysterical. XD

Murdoch and Fox are going to buy Sky, after everyone's forgotten about how they hacked a dead girl's phone.

The government are still spineless shits.

Yup.

Who gives a fuck about British culture anyway, let's smash it all to pieces so a walking corpse can get more money. Hooray.
