Barca and Juventus both out of the Champion's League already. Expect them to start talking about the Super League again.

Only a single La Liga team made it to the Round of 16 this year. Very unusual. Normally they'd send 4 or even 5

Don't recall the last time Arsenal were consistently top for the first three months of the season. Perhaps 2013-14? Either way, not expecting us to win the title by any means (top 4 is the priority) but it is a breath of fresh air for sure after seeing so many horrendous seasons recently.

Good news in that Wrexham council have given the green light for the club to expand the stadium.  Although the club's best player, Paul Mullin, has been told by the club that he can't wear his new boots   |

Napoli leading Serie A by 8 points currently. I really hope they can win it this year

England & Wales have confirmed their World Cup squads.[ Tomori should have chosen to rep Canada instead of England. He'd be the first CB on the team sheet here, meanwhile his talent is getting wasted away by an England manager who continually decides to call up a fridge instead of him. |

First time Arsenal will be top by Christmas since the 2007-08 season. Still realistic and don't think we'll win the title but great to see nonetheless!

Clutch performance from Tottenham yesterday. Down 2-3 going into the 80th minute. Bentancur scored two awesome goals in the last ten minutes, so it feels like we wrestled victory from the arms of defeat

Anyone seen that recent Ronaldo interview with Piers Morgan? Absolutely pathetic behaviour, and this is from someone who hates Man Utd.

That looks like a fish from the bream family, which we don't eat. We consider them "trash/disposable fish". And no fish whatsoever is consumed here with plain rice, or any kind of rice lol.

Fans paid to attend World Cup by Qatar have daily allowance cancelled
Fans who have travelled to Qatar as part of a controversial paid-for supporters programme have been told by Qatari authorities that their cash has been cut.
The Fan Leader Network is a scheme run by the Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy, the Qatari agency responsible for the World Cup. It has recruited supporters from around the globe, offering travel and accommodation and a place at the World Cup opening ceremony in return for enthusiasm and positive social media content. But the Guardian can reveal that a per diem payment for food and drink, upon which some supporters were depending, was cancelled just as fans were packing to travel to the Gulf.
Members of the Fan Leader Network from two European countries said their payments had been cancelled three days ago and that authorities had blamed the decision on the bad press which followed the revelation that fans were being paid.
Fans were told in a message, seen by the Guardian: “Due to the recent developments in the media, we are keen to protect our visiting fans from the erroneous misinformed statements regarding ‘fans receiving payment for the trip’. Accordingly, the daily allowance will unfortunately no longer be issued. The allowance was intended as a small uplift on your own personal funds to assist with refreshments during your stay.”
Although the fans the Guardian spoke to said the loss of money had not deterred anyone from travelling, they were concerned about how they would pay for the rest of their stay. One fan said they had paid for maintenance for their car on the assumption that the per diem would be coming.
The email sent to members of the Network said: “We requested from the outset that you brought sufficient funds to cover your own living expenses and we have committed to cover flights, accommodation and opening match tickets.”
