It is there for the taking, Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal are all looking very average.

Exactly. I've been saying it for a while now that you have to aim higher then just 6th. It makes no sense just aiming for 6th when the competition all look dodgy. Your midfield and strikeforce are good enough to push you higher imo.

Tiote
Cabaye
Ba
Ben Arfa
Santos
Coloccini
Krul (tbh Greg that's the only player i'm not sold on)
Papis Cisse

That's some serious talent there. Not to mention Taylor and Jonas who are also solid.

Krul is quality, a little suspect with the ball at this feet but otherwise a very good 'keeper.

Man of the Match this evening, Blackburn had something like 35 shots.
 
Let alone Egypt, this looks like one of the worlds worst football violence incidents ever. It looks like one sides fans invaded the pitch at the end of the game, the players trying to make a swift exit, the other sides fans came on to offer some protection, it all got squeezed down one end of the stadium, security people among the dead, fans killed trying to protect their players even in the dressing rooms. Flares, fires, bottles, bricks, knives, don't know if it was pre-meditated but it was full on and sounds brutal. RIP to the unfortunate ones.
 
By the way Junior Hoilet tonight with quite possibly the worst dive I've ever seen, referee fell for it as well. Raylor got booked for having a go at him (Junior Toilet not the ref).

Come off it Greg:lol:


Sessegnon and McClean i assume you're referring too. Laarson and Fraizer Campbell are also good players and Gardner, O'shea, and Brown are also pretty decent tbh. They'd be lost without Sessegnon though as most of their play goes through him.

Sessengnon is a class player, probably the best player Sunderland have had in their entire history, poor Mackems. McClean also looks very promising.

NYT reporting at least 73 dead. It seems like it's the ultras, who incidentally were also involved in violence during the political upheaval from last year.
This is the 2nd article the NYT has published on violence in football in the past week. The other one was about Rangers and Aberdeen & Celtic.

I've never understood the violent hooliganism that's rampant in South America and Eastern Europe (and now apparently Egypt). Sport should bring people together; no one should ever die or get injured because they wanted to escape their own reality and watch a football match. Even between bitter rivals, people need to understand that these are just games, never worth losing a life over.

This summer's Euros are a disaster waiting to happen.
 
A certain Hossam Ghaly was captaining Al-Ahly tonight. Luckily for him he was sent off after 75 minutes and was (presumably) safe in the dressing room.

It is going to go right off. Very tempted to go to some games in Poland to soak up the atmosphere but not sure that's a good option for a bunch of English lads. My mate is half-Greek so we were planning to go to a few games involving them, but we'll see. That group has:

- Poland
- Russia
- Greece
- Czech Republic

...all with large, notorious football hooligan firms/ultras. Russia/Poland game will be carnage before and afterwards I suspect.
 
Egypt has always had its share of violent football fans but this is something far deeper than just simple football violence. SCAF and the police are not innocent in this at all.
