Respect to the Fiorentina supporters, who are boycotting the Juve match. "As you all know, the Curva Fiesole has expressed its opinion regarding the Fiorentina-Juventus match. The tragic crisis that has hit our city has brought entire families to their knees and will have long-term consequences. This is why we asked in a statement to postpone the match: out of respect for those who suffer, to concentrate energy in a proactive manner, to leave no one behind. From those who have ruined the world of football, not caring about anything other than scraping together a few pennies from sponsors and TV, closing themselves in a bubble made of speculation and profit, we expected nothing different. These are their "values". Curva Fiesole, following the decision to play the match regularly, will not be present in the stands. There is nothing to celebrate: giving a signal against this injustice is an act that comes from our feelings but also from our reason. The game of football, as we understand it, belongs to the various communities that follow it. It's a people's game. At this moment the people of Florence are experiencing a tragedy and need all the energy they can. There are people who would like to attend the match but will not be able to do so, for various reasons that each of us can imagine. When everything is "under control" again, then it will be time to return to our seats, it will be time to "play" again. As during the siege of 1530, we will not back down. If there is battle, we will be there. As there were today, three hundred of us, in the Campi area, completely abandoned by state institutions. We are active on this front, because now it is our priority and tomorrow we will be back in the mud. We reiterate: we are the only active subjects. There is no shadow of the institutions. So we ask ourselves what sense it makes to employ hundreds of men for a football match, while there is a population that is mourning the dead and is still in serious difficulty. You can find the resources to keep your sideshow going, while when you have to make an effort for tragic events, for families in difficulty, no one lifts a finger, except to make catwalks. It's not the first time in this country. We understand the need to be close to Fiorentina in this particular moment. Therefore we don't judge anyone but we don't want to be judged either. Everyone should do what they feel like doing. With a thought for the victims of this tragedy. With all the people who are suffering in these hours. Come on Florence, we won't leave anyone behind!"

It is shite that you can get sent off for scoring in the 99', the biggest goal in the club's history, and celebrating with the fans. John Kennedy has cemented himself as a legend!

Fuck you, Havertz, Raya, and Arteta!

Arsenal's U18 match postponed after their bus driver went to Bournemouth instead of Brighton.

Phil Neville is set to be announced as leading my local club. Already has been a complete failure in this league and a massive cunt to boot! This is going to be a toxic appointment to say the least. Have to keep one of the 92' hands greased I suppose.

Copa Libertadores final tomorrow looks like it will be absolute carnage. The two sets of supporters was on the Copacabana. A fight broke out and the police showed up, started shooting and beating the Boca fans.

Florin Manea on Genoa's CB Radu Dragusin: "Genoa doesn't want to give him now, but in the summer yes. If they get the price they want on it, you realize it's a lot of money. Genoa wants 30 million, they said directly. We had a team that wanted to give 25, well it wasn't on paper, but... I don't think there is anyone in Italy who would give this amount of 30 million. I talked about the Premier League area, I talked about Newcastle, but they are not the only ones, there are several teams I am talking to. The president with whom I made Gabriel Tamas at West Brom is now at Newcastle. We have known each other since 2009. They are also watching him, but also other big clubs in England. There's no official offer yet, but it's coming. It will be a pleasant surprise when it arrives."

The "wizard" is up north. "He wears a broad wizard's hat offset by an antelope-fur vest and always carries a gnarled wooden staff in his free hand. He could be Gandalf, he could be Merlin. But he's not. This eccentric character calls himself Shanrickael the Sorcerer, and he's living his life as a wandering wizard." https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-10-29/wandering-wizard-turns-heads-on-far-north-qld-highways/103029912

Wearside Wanderer II: "Transformer went down a few weeks back, the temp generators are hidden in the back of bidfood lorries. Was told 12 weeks to get it fixed if at all possible at the parts are no longer made. Apparently they have to turn everything on individually so not to make it all ‘trip’." Becs: "How long are they there for? No hand dryers and no paper towels in the loos today. It's going to be unpleasant going back to your seat with wet hands once the temp drops." Grumpy Old Man: "An outage the day before the Watford game basically destroyed the stadium substation. Thought to be caused by workers on the footbridge site putting machinery through the mains cable (at least that's what they told me at the Hilton, wihc also lost power for a while. it seems some of the switchgear needs to be built to order - hence the lead time." https://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/buzzing-noise-at-the-back-of-the-south-stand-block-u38.1618687/
