Trabzonspor now 14 points clear at the top of the Turkish Superleague

15th placed Galatasaray have got themselves 3 points clear of relegation with 2 draws. They play away to another relegation contender tonight.

Who's the best pen taker in the world?

Who's the best pen taker in the world?

Do you think he meant to point to the opposite corner to trick the keeper? Never noticed that before.

Lol, that's a great spot If he did mean it, it just solidifies my opinion he is the best.

Is it me or is he not looking at the ball ?

Arbroath top of the Scotch 2nd tier. Not been in the top flight for 47 years. Little stadium positioned right next to the sea, further north up the coast from Dundee





lovely stuff

If they got promoted would they be allowed to play there? Are there rules stopping teams progress due to stadium size in Scotland?

Spl scrapped the 6000 seating minimum rule a few years back so arbroath should be fine

Their official capacity is apparently 6000, yet when they drew Celtic in the cup a few years ago, and when Rangers passed through the division, the attendances were around 4000. they appear to average around 1500

More points dropped by the top 2 in Italy meaning Napoli could take top spot with a win today

Juventus had such an abysmal start to the season they have gone from looking like it would be a struggle to get a top 4 spot to now having an outside chance of winning the league

Vlahovic is a quality forward. Reminds me of Ruud Van Nistelrooy

Neymar's penalty yesterday

What a prick.

For all his ability, he'll be remembered more for being a stroppy little player acting diva. Wouldn't say he was over rated but I do feel he could have achieved more if he wasnt such a collosal bellend.

I have been a big Neymar fan and there were 2-3 years at Barca where he was clearly up there as the next best player in the world after the obvious 2, with a large gap back to whoever was 4th best. But 2-3 years from a whole playing career is woeful for someone with that talent. And I agree, I think a big part what will be remembered of him from your average fan wil be his stupid behaviour

I still remember quoting a journalist on here when it was comfimred that he had signed for Barca saying something like 'they will need 2 planes to bring him over, one for Neymar, and one for his ego and all thr baggage that comes with him'

As the photo shows, it is right by the sea.
Went there (not for a game but just to have a look when travelling back down from the Aberdeen area) and it was freezing..........in July.

94th minute winner and Napoli do go top

[Winston Biscuit]

In form Barca put 4 past Athletic Bilbao.

There is a nice little 5 way race on for the last 2 Champions League spots in La Liga

[Winston Biscuit]

4 teams at the bottom of Ligue 1 all on the same points.

Bordeaux are one of them. I understand in France the idea of them going down is pretty

UEFA are to remove Spartak Moscow from the Europa League.
