Wales are 4-1 down to the mighty Serbia B-)

Bring on Scotland. It'll be the battle of the hopeless.

Hey at least Wales are in the qualifiers... we didn't even make it to the third round quallifiers...

The fact we're in the qualifiers isn't any kind of indictment of quality. That's how UEFA's qualification procedure goes.

I'm not angry or surprised though. I was resigned to this shit a while ago.

How did this happen?! Should I be scared of Serbia, we only scored 2 goals against you guys..... Croatia was kind of weak actually, clearly some new players/methods that make the team weaker now than with Bilic. We should have won, the possession/chances were in our favour big time, but they defended really well. They basically got 2 chances, and scored out of one (which was just a lucky goal too).

Serbia before playing Wales only scored in two of their previous eight matches.

We're just that shit. B-)

It sounds like the shit is going to hit the fan when the Hillsborough report comes out later.

Not exactly football news but more currant affairs regarding accountability.

I was always aware from what I've read about Hillsborough that there were amazing fuck ups. Now everything is in the open, it really is staggering how fucked everything was. Hillsborough didn't have a valid safety certificate since 1981.

Yay, 6 goals and 3rd place! Although we could've gotten our 4th clean sheet in a row if szczesny didn't mess up in that only goal. Podolski has me impressed and Cazorla has also exceeded my expectations, reckon both will be massive for us.

Madrid-City was excellent. I really enjoyed watching it. City fans must be seething.
Already regret not watching the game, I was busy gaming + followed RSCA a bit. AC Milan is utter shit, if they keep playing like this for the coming CL matches they'll finish last. Teribble.

Well I do support 2 teams, a club in Mexico and Arsenal, aside from that I like Bayern Munich and Milan a little bit and I'm glad when they win their league and shit but that's it. It would feel pretty weird to watch 2 teams you support against each other, sorta like when I watch the 2 Manchester clubs playing each other and want both to lose :P

Well if it was the Champions League Final I would want Madrid to win.

I can never ever understand how people can actively support two teams. If there was one attribute a fan is always bound to have, its loyalty. It is meant to be pure tribalism and beyond rationality.
