The Football News Thread 2016/17 - everything not Wolves

[Paddingtonwolf]

I see BT have extended their rights over the Champions League and Europa League to 2021, and have now negotiated highlights exclusivity as well, which means we won't even get highlights on ITV.

Oh well, for me the Champions League pretty much ceased to exist when I couldn't watch it live, so loss of highlights isn't really a killer, but I do worry about so called premium competitions barely being available to watch.

How Leicester City fiddled Financial Fair Play.

That is over a year old, but still most interesting. I would love to see if the prediction about the cancellation of the Trestellar deal and subsequent one off financial hit took place.

I'm sure I remember the owners writing off £40m worth of debt when they got promoted too.

Just a little post regarding Hertha's smaller brother in Berlin thats Union. They currently sit 2nd after beating St Pauli tonight. It would be an amazing promotion if Union could go up.. EISERN UNION..

Rub it in why don't you

Sorry dude ;-)

I've had a soft spot for Union ever since an epic FM game with them several years ago. It would be great to see them go up.

Can you just imagine this at Wolves when Paul Lambert's team selection is announced.

Accrington Stanley chairman refuses Leyton Orient fans to collect money in and around the ground. What a great gesture

Atletico Madrid v Leicester City in the Champions League Quarter Finals.

Atletico Madrid v Leicester City in the Champions League Quarter Finals.

Leicester saving Barcelona for the final...

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I think they have an outside chance against Atleti.

Real or Barcelona would probably murder them over two legs.

Looking forward to Bayern v Real. Cracking tie.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Don't fancy them against Atletico, they're properly organised and defensively very well drilled under Simeone, they won't be leaving space in behind for the likes of Vardy to exploit. They're a top class version of what Leicester were doing last year.

 

[FrankMunro-371]

I gave Leicester little hope against Seville, but they won through.

They couldn't do the impossible again could they?

 

[The Bear]

Probably not. But knockout ties can throw up any result.

They got a defending champion manager sacked. That's one nearly impossible feat they've managed thus far.

I hope they make it to the final and get absolutely thrashed. By at least 10.

Nearly impossible? It's happened 3 years in a row!

Derry City captain Ryan McBride passes away the day after leaving them to a 4-0 victory.

Just 27 years old. Awful.
