Man City's away shirt looks like a Tequila Sunrise

I hear Tottenham didn't do so well last night?

On City....
Could this finally be Liverpool's year?

Awful week for Portuguese clubs. Between Benfica which starts the Champion's league by fielding a B-team vs Leipzig or Zenith (second defeat in a row in the group phase), so I am not sure they are really interested in getting out of the group phase, or even to Europa League; Porto screwing up against Feyenoord in the Netherlands after a good first half, Braga not getting more than an unlucky draw against Slovan Bratislava at home, Guimarães losing unsurprisingly at home too to Eintracht Frankfurt. Sporting won however against LASK Linz but it's a lucky win all things considered.

The 6th position in UEFA rankings for 2 spots in future CLs has yet to be achieved. Good thing than Russian clubs screwed up too, except precisely Zenith St-Petersburg vs Ben fica.
Or Liga Nos goes the way the Eredivisie has been or was.

Spurs lose 7-2 at home and then lose again in the league and both Manchester teams get humiliated? Good week of football.

As a Liverpool fan, I'm already planning the parade down...um, whatever street in Liverpool will have a parade.

City won the title last year while losing 4 games to Liverpool's 1; there's still 30 games to go...and Liverpool already seem to be riding their luck.

As an Everton fan, I'm getting planning permission for a bunker to wait out the next ten years.

Thanks to Schmeichel and Eriksen's only good touch of the game we won against the Swiss. Now we just need to beat Gibraltar and tie against Ireland and we might qualify for the EC we're co-hosting.

Thrilled to discover that "Everton" is now in the Google definition of "woe":
great sorrow or distress (often used hyperbolically).
"the Everton tale of woe continued"

Seems about right

The British press shows itself to be stupid yet again.
Apparently England ran into trouble last night with a group of Bulgarian neo nazis shouting racist stuff.
The mirrors headline is a sensible England stand tall against the racists. The scum.... They say Bulgar off you nazis.

Poo La Sic!  Poo La Sic! 

How many PL teams get relegated each year?

And how does the PL post season work?

[Sheilbh]

Three teams are relegated.

No post-season for the Premier League.

And how does the PL post season work?

The post season is you qualify for European football and you get to play in a bunch of extraneous games in the next season.
