This Marcel Sabitzer fella looks handy. The kind of midfielder Manchester United could do with.

NWCFL will do anything to stop Bury getting promoted, is it?

Slightly weird that Barcelona fans are applauding Ronald Araujo - his stupidity might end up costing his side a place in the Champions League semi-finals

Bayer Leverkusen sealed their first ever Bundesliga title after a 5-0 win vs. Werder Bremen.

During the celebrations, green smoke could be seen on the pitch.

What’s behind it, and what does it have to do with homophobic, anti-queer messages by #Bayer04 ’s ultras?

I'm either hallucinating, or PSG are actually playing like a competent team in a Champions League knockout tie

Fear not, typical City is alive and well.
