Great player. Wish he'd been more adventurous and not wasted his 20's hanging around at Spurs.

Why on earth did he waste so much of his career at Spurs?
Doesn't get the respect he deserves imo.

Wonder how many people who will be up in arms at this have been to see NFL, NBA or MLB games in London?

Well not me for definite - the game of footy is slowly turning Americanised though

American sport has a totally different culture, based on a franchise model and with there being a history of teams moving from city to city.
European football clubs are rooted in their local communities with histories that go back 150+ years. It is not the same.
That said, if there are NFL fans protesting their teams playing games abroad, I support them in that. If you want to watch the Dallas Cowboys, then go to Dallas.

Reckon Röhl’s last employer would do better than them in Europe even in their current state.

Mine was surrounded by chocolate with raisins in the middle and had a song about it/them.

Which you can't sing anymore apparently because legally it doesn't classify as chocolate.
Is that now or back then?

Ajax v Groningen: Amsterdam club criticise 'outrageous' firework display as Eredivisie match with Groningen is abandoned.
Ajax criticise the "utterly outrageous" firework display which resulted in their Dutch league match against Groningen being abandoned.

Why are so many European ‘ultras’ such attention-seeking twats?
Going to Florence in February.
Hoping to secure tickets for Fiorentina vs Pisa, which is a pretty spicy derby..... but Fiorentina are redeveloping their ground in time for the 2032 Euros (i think), so capacity is reduced.
Livorno are playing at home that weekend which is my backup plan..... although their club (and fans) are not what they were 20 years ago.

Be a shame if they go down
Yes, and its looking bleak at the moment. But they've got a run of more favourable games now, so might pull themselves out a bit.
Its a shame the ground is being redeveloped as it was proper iconic.
Same thing happened at Atalanta, i'm glad i went there before that got redeveloped.
And it looks like the San Siro is going to be replaced (although i imagine construction of the "new San Siro" will take a while).

Bottom of the table clash coming up against Verona next weekend, who somehow managed to get their first win of the season this weekend.

For tickets that cheap you probably can’t see half the pitch. Years ago I paid something like €12 to watch a game vs Napoli at my local stadium in the cheap seats but it was a waste of money.
