European Football 2023-24

I love getting about watching the footie... for me, the best league to watch is the Italian, every game is entertaining, but the league still carries the lazy 0-0 Stereotype.

Off to watch my Spanish side malaga next week in the third tier. Malaga - Castellon... flights €30 ticket €15 but a hotel and train for Fulham is close to £150 :lol:

Brighton A was £100 on train, so I'm going to Brussels and watching Molenbeek vs. Kortijk

March finally able to get Iver to Köln, Monchengladbach away, first derby, very excited.

Then doing a load of games in Puglia on May.. fly out day after Sheffield Utd game (hopefully).

European football is where the value and enjoyment is at.

Always worth watching Ligue 1, lots of entertaining games there too. The only dull league for me nowadays is Spain.

This is always painful to read - I remember them as the fashionable outsiders from a few years ago...

Last game I went to was Dortmund away in the CL (klopp ran over cupping his ear after 2 offside goals in stoppage time, the Cock).

Taken over by a Sheikh who was duped into giving away half his shares in the club by a hotel firm. 9 years later its still not resolved.

Pulled the plug finally after his plans for a Marina in Marbella were scrapped and he lost his head at UEFA over "unjust" decisions.

The first side to be nailed for FFP.

Well this is interesting in a horrible way, from an overall sad post. Do you have a link to read up on that? Bet it's a long story and all

How much time do you have?

Here is an article from the Arab Times; my recollection appears slightly different to whats stated here, but even now BlueBay and Al Thani are locked in dispute over who owns the club.

Qatari sheikh’s ownership of La Liga’s Malaga: When a football dream turns sour

BARCELONA: On a chilly April night in Germany’s football heartland the Ruhr valley, Malaga CF were denied a place in the Champions League semifinals by two controversial stoppage-time goals. Defeat to Borussia Dortmund was hard to accept, but what seemed clear was that a wealthy new European...

Wild Presidents: Sheikh Abdullah Al-Thani at Málaga

Part 1 of our Wild Presidents of LaLiga series - Matt Clark writes about the rollercoaster tenure of Sheikh Abdullah Al-Thani at Málaga
www.laligalowdown.com www.laligalowdown.com

The club have so many lawsuits on going at present. They've got one with Sporting Braga who owe Malaga €8m, one with BlueBay over an owed €2,5m.
It's a mess.

Despite this, still averaging 24,000 in the third tier. A fan base to be proud of... but should malaga fail to go up, it may well be the end.

Marseille - Strasbourg was dar more enjoyable.

Bayern just a bit dull to watch for me, they just throttle games make it dull to watch for me.

RB Leipzig - Eintracht tomorrow should be a cracker. Shame its not one of the televised games.

I switched over to Sevilla-Alaves in the end. That was a much better game too.
