Ang is doing a cracking job with Celtic. Massive 3-0 win over Rangers. Takes them to the top of the league and hopefully they can see it through till the end

Is there ever any other team in contention in that comp other than those two teams?

There are a lot of Celtic fans and Scottish media that owe Ange a massive apology. Some of the insults and dribble that was heading his way when he was hired was disgusting. Words cannot describe how happy I am that he has shoved those words back up those short sighted ********’s……. arseholes….

The Champions League final has been moved to Paris. Was originally supposed to be played in St Petersburg, but Putin’s being a right old penis head so Russia loses the final.

Gianluigi Buffon just signed a contract extension with Parma until 2024. That means he’s contracted to play past the age of 46. Incredible.

Yep. Even in the NRL where there’s a salary cap, 6 of the past 10 seasons have been won by Storm or Roosters.

That's how it is every year in that comp, right?

Pretty boring.

To be honest I kinda wish the A-League would do away with the salary cap so at least our bigger clubs (Sydney FC, Melbourne City etc) can actually reach their full potential and we can be more competitive in Asia. Just feel in a world game like football, a salary cap is a ****ing albatross around the neck.

The GPS should do a lot of the work, once you crunch the heat maps, distances covered and high speed efforts I'm sure Burgess will be keen to have a look for you

Intense video sessions and statistical analysis with your players the morning after the game is a must.

“Jacob! You didnt cover your man on the second goal because you were on the ground eating with the grass! 20 laps of the oval NOW!”

“Boys your xg rating is less than 0.5. I must of missed the memo that they changed the rules that team that scores the least amount of goals wins, or are you lot just taking the ABSOLUTE PISS OUT THERE?!?!”
