Now they have 10 days to stew over it as well.
Get in

Mirth

That was so satisfying.

Adebayor 😆

You funny fucker.

Klaus

Adebayor was all: "I've got this all figured out. I'm going to take my time, use my flawless striking ability and just ease it in. This is the moment that separates men from boys. It will go down in folklore. Statues will be made in my image, possibly out of gold."

takes the shot and misses the stadium

Gareth southgate shouldn't be allowed to comment on penalties. Still haven't forgiven him.

Don't know if it was southgate, but the commentator on my stream introduced Ade as "the Legendary Togan striker" 😆

On itv (not southgate, hes in the studio) they were saying "long, leggy, unpredictable"...

From the commentary to the strike it was all hilarious. That adebayor dance should replace the Harlem shake as the new craze.

Adebayor, 10, shooting for/at the stars!

If they wanted him to score they should have thrown more money his way

Francisco Roca, the chief executive of La Liga, believes Spanish clubs will agree to sell their television rights collectively within the next three years as they attempt to close the financial gap on the Premier League.

At present, only Spanish and Portuguese clubs sell their rights on an individual basis, creating the disparity that last season made Real Madrid over €140m (£119m) from television income and Granada around €12m. In England, the champions Manchester City earned £60m through TV, while relegated Blackburn Rovers and Wolverhampton Wanderers made £40m.

Deportivo La Coruña are the latest Spanish name in financial turmoil, but Roca insists the will exists in Spain to redress the current imbalance.

Speaking at the Soccerex European Forum in Manchester on Thursday, he said: "We need to get much better with the control of team's finances. We need to conquer the issue of individual television rights. It is not advantageous for the Spanish league to sell its rights individually and something we aim to solve over the next two or three years is to sell them collectively.

David Dein in there dispensing truth bombs.

Was only a matter of time before the Spanish clubs not named Real Madrid and Barcelona would kick up a stink and demand a change. I am certainly in favor of regulations which aim to level the playing field.

Claudius

This is an important part of financial fairplay for me as a system. Real, Barca and Bayern have such significant advantages over their competitors in their respective leagues. Efforts should be made to bridge the gap. TV rights is a very powerful tool for wealth redistribution. Another is encouraging investment into all clubs, but finding some way to cap it so the lesser clubs also have a chance. More investment into Chelsea and City is bad, but investment into Everton and Aston Villa can only benefit the league.

This is ridiculous, I knew it was bad, but not this bad.

Rex

Have a sneaky feeling this may have been posted earlier. I just skimmed through it basically and then read the conclusions. Think I will read it properly once I feel I have the time.

The performance of football club managers: skill or luck?

Mirth

Been discussed elsewhere but watching Ronaldinho play is a privilege.

Klaus

That is absolutely ridiculous. That goal can't be possible. You can't chip it into the nearest top corner like that while you're standing at a ridiculous angle inside the box.

invisibleman18

Probably justice after the ridiculous dive to get it. 😆
