Not sure if true or April Fools, but several websites report that adidas stops selling the German kit with number 44, because, well, the font looks like this:



Apparently a bit similar to the SS runes.

I went to see Sunderland for the first time in 2 years.
This was a mistake.
They were an absolute disaster. The team didn't seem to know each other. They lost 5-1 to Blackburn. The stadium was near-full to begin with, after the 3rd goal went in shortly after half time loads left. When we left in the 85th minute the seagulls had long been circling.

They knew what they were doing. Disgusting.

Nervy game today against City led to a scoreless draw at the Etihad. In their two league matches last season Arsenal were outscored 7-2. This season Arsenal outscored City 1-0.

Progress.

It would have been better if they had not played for the tie.  I understand why they did it but as a casual observer, it was a pretty boring game.

It was a dreadful game. A real shame because on the whole it's been a spectacularly entertaining season in the EPL.

Definitely a drab game for neutrals. Both teams essentially canceled each other out and both knew a loss probably meant an end to their league season.

Scheduling this match right after the international break was a crime. Both teams had players injured or unfit and neither side looked fluid enough for such a potentially decisive match.

From the league that brought you the scoreless draw between City and Arsenal, witness yesterday's 4-3 between Chelsea and Yanited. 

Genuinely an all-time fail of a match that I couldn't take my eyes off of.
