European Leagues Thread 2012/2013

Robert Lewandowski tells the Polish FA that he doesn't want to be selected for the 2 internationals this week after he was feeling the effects of a long season with Barca and being 36 years old. The manager of Poland calls him and tells him the captaincy is being taken away from him permanently because of this. Lewandowski announces he will never play again for the national team again until that manager is gone.

Serie A in discussions over whether to play a league match in Australia next season.

AC Milan Vs Como is the match being proposed and they say if they go ahead then it would be played in the Optus Stadium in Perth.

No league should ever screw the integrity of their domestic competition by doing this.

I just never understand the continual chasing of more and more money, when history shows very clearly it will shortly be considered not enough, and more ideas will be demanded to find yet more money.

Oviedo through to the Segunda play off final.

Cazorla leading out his boyhood club to try and get them back to La Liga for the first time in 24 years, in what could be his last ever match.

The script feels written

Indeed. 40 years old, bullet free kick into the bottom corner. Football, eh. Jumpers for goalposts, etc.

Mirandes Vs Racing Santander tonight to find Oviedo's opponent. first leg was 3-3.

really hoping Mirandes make it. a genuinely little club getting up among the big boys is always great



I believe (but could be wrong) that their entire squad right now was either free transfers, loans or academy players

Can’t Alexander-Arnold be pronounced in Spanish?

Or is it rude?

[Pepe the Horseman]

Some angry people on Twitter because Trent had the audacity to learn Spanish before his move.

Probably just jealous because Trent can now be understood in two languages while they struggle in one.

Sacked by Mexican club Tigres UANL at the beginning of March 2025 and appointed by Oviedo on 26 March.

Sampdoria relegated to Serie C

I think they said in the commentary of the Napoli match last night that they're not quite down yet. Another club (Brescia?) have been docked points for financial dodgyness which took them below Sampdoria

relegation play offs now suspended while they decide whether this points deduction will be happen, and then Brescia would also get the option to appeal it if it happens.

'financial paperwork irregularities' from Massimo Cellino's Brescia

Brescia declared bankrupt and are booted out of Italian football.

Sampdoria moved from relegation into the relegation play offs.
