- Ched Evans: footballer found not guilty of rape in retrial What made the difference is that the victim's sexual history was allowed to be heard in court, and it seems that she had a history of getting blackout drunk and waking up unable to remember what she did the night before. That doesn't overlook the fact that money was offered for other men to come forward to talk about their experiences with said woman; that he got a friend and brother to try and tape the deed, that he paid for the room beforehand. A lot more details are in the article. Even though he's been acquitted, I still wouldn't want him on my team, tbh. When even The Daily Mail is shocked that this has been allowed to happen, you know something is egregiously wrong
- Ched Evans to demand £500,000 in lost earnings after being cleared of rape following retrial He wants to sue Sheffield Wednesday for sacking him, and is looking forward to playing for Wales once more. Okay.
- More than 2000 tickets returned for Manchester City versus Barcelona: ‘What a disappointment’wow
- “Everyone is asking, 'Why is England not too successful in big tournaments?'. Ask what other big countries are doing at this time of year and they have their legs on the sofa and are watching English football.” Klopp hits out at Christmas fixtures. Man, we've always had Christmas fixtures. Have a winter break mid January, the weather is crap then.

Borussia Dortmund 1- 1 Hertha Berlin
This match was frustrating to watch, tbh
Congrats to Hertha Berlin for putting up a fight
But I'm only posting these pictures because I have questions. I'm thinking of going to Dortmund for England's international against Germany. What's the best way to do it? I am avoiding AirB&B, but am open to everything else. For flights out, I'm afraid I might have to travel to London the day before, which is annoying
Nice 2- 0 Lyon
Balotelli has found his level. Happy for him
A different league, with no pressure, and he's thriving
A red card for stomping, and Lyon were down to ten men

John Terry studying for his coaching badges. I... wonder what his attitude would be to non white players, tbh
Schweinsteiger getting his gym on
Now this training outfit I can get with. It's pretty cold where I am, even indoors and I'm training in joggy bottoms and a fleece top. Brrrr
OP: done. Cheers, jeers and the rest of it, you know the drill!
