A Mesut Ozil Bobblehead is just what will get your kids excited Christmas morning?

And for the lady fans in your life? A Manchester United brand Hair Curling Wand! No, I did not make that up.

Manchester City Robots?

My personal favourite, albeit the LAFC Cornhole set and the Anderlecht 'mauve sauce' *shudder* were tight runners-up, has to be Tottenham Hostpur branded Kleenex.
How did you leave out the ridiculous Klopp mask in your summary though?

Eh...its just a mask.

I rag on Spurs and Mourinho a lot, but this is awesome, so kudos to Jose for this:

Quote:
The Tottenham ball boy who was praised by Jose Mourinho for his heads-up thinking during Spurs' thrilling 4-2 Champions League victory over Olympiakos on Tuesday has said the Portuguese coach's high-five following the goal he helped create not only made his day, but his "life."

"It's all a bit surreal," Hynes told Tottenham's website on Wednesday. "I was just doing my job and I still can't quite believe what happened.

"I didn't even see the goal! I was busy getting the ball that had come off and then I heard the cheer. I turned around and Harry was celebrating.

"I looked at the replay on the screen and watched exactly what happened. You can see from my smile it was just unbelievable. Jose didn't have to do that. It was really nice of him to come over to me. It's made my day, my life, really! I love Spurs and it was an amazing moment I'll never forget."

That ballboy has more assists in the Champion's League now than most of Spurs' squad.

Don't worry about us in CL, and just hope that your guys don't have a little early Christmas cheer in Austria en route to the Europa League!

Lugging that Champions' League Trophy around is heavy work.

Barcelona forward Antoine Griezmann was targeted by Atletico Madrid fans with chants and banners on his first return to the club.

As Griezmann warmed up for the game on the pitch, Atletico fans chanted "Griezmann die."

Maybe they were Germans chanting 'The Griezmann?'

Gareth Bale has said being whistled by Real Madrid fans was "a shock" in the aftermath of the row over his "Wales. Golf. Madrid. In that order" flag celebration.
https://global.espn.com/football/rea...-madrid-banner

If hes shocked that the fans reacted negatively to that then hes a complete idiot.

Frankly, when he moves on from Real....who is going to want him? Who is going to want to pay him that much to be his third priority?

Beckham needs a star for Inter Miami so that's a natural fit. But if he really is Wales-Golf-Madrid, maybe he should just play for Swansea.

Come on 3rd priority?

Hes been treated like crap by madrid the last few years, and yet when they had to play him earlier this year he was one of their best players, even spanish media said so

It was a Welsh fans flag that one of the players grabbed and brought to the rest of the team

Yeah. Look, I'm not ragging on the guy other than at his 'surprise' that the fans were pissed. Its not like he came out and said or did anything to dissuade them. And why would he? Turnabout is fair play.

In this particular instance I dont blame him either. Madrid have treated him like crap and are unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on whether you give half a crap about Real, which I do not) the party obligated to pay him.

That being said though, hes an oft-injured 30 year-old on a huge pay packet, who was won everything hes likely to, and while he'll always be a Welsh hero, Golf is going to start creeping up on that list....I really dont think considering whatever club team he goes to to be his 3rd priority to be that much of a stretch.

Right now Gareth Bale is George Costanza working at Play Now.

It’s embarrassing.

The country is just a disaster from a social and political perspective at this point.

Banned by both clubs for the rest of the year. As in three and a half weeks.
Quote:
In response to the ‘BLACK FRIDAY’ headline published today by the newspaper, Roma and Milan have decided to ban Corriere dello Sport from our training facilities for the rest of the year and our players will not carry out any media activities with the newspaper during this period.

Both clubs are aware that the actual newspaper article associated with the ‘BLACK FRIDAY’ headline did portray an anti-racist message and for this reason, we have only banned Corriere dello Sport until January.

In the same way every club in the league should have banned The Sun after Hillsborough.

They only need to win by 2 if Liverpool score 3. 1-0 or 2-1 or 3-2 and Salzburg advance.
