I somehow missed that Leverkusen had never won the title before!

What they've done so far this season is outrageous really, no part of me saw this coming.

I knew Leverkusen had never won it before, what I didn't know until today was that the city itself wasn't actually incorporated until 1930... meaning that the club is actually more than 20 years older than the city itself!

that's insane

I earmarked Alonso years ago as potential managerial material way back when he gave interviews as a Madrid player. He really stood out amongst as a remarkably articulate and convincing communicator, and I'm sure that when he went to Bayern it was solely for the opportunity to play under Pep.

So I always kept tabs on him, ever since his first season as coach of Real Sociedad B, who he got promoted to Segunda at a time there were no other B sides in the division.

Of course, none of that suggested this season he's having right now. It's outrageous.

Hadn't followed him as a manager myself but I've always liked him. Like you said he always spoke well coming across as smart, calm and someone with a great football brain.


Even during his Liverpool days, I couldn't help but like him!

Been a funny old season for me, more want Liverpool and Arsenal to lose than I care about Spurs.

Similarly in the NBA I want the Celtics to get knocked out so bad & I really want Nuggets to win (WTF WEMBY!??! Even as a SAS fan he shouldnt have gone that hard!!!)

A lot of fun as a full-time hater.

Also @Daz @IOAG, if you haven't seen it yet (I hope its available where you are).

The most fun.

I can’t watch that video over here, says it’s unavailable.

If you can find it, it’s Wemby scoring 17 points in 3 minutes. It’s nuts

Just watched, amazing stuff. Wembellaini.

A man who all European athletes look up to

This pen in the Valencia game.

I'll take a look when I can. Most spectacular 1-man show I've seen in just a few seconds was Reggie Miller scoring like 8 in 20 seconds to win a playoff game, think maybe it was against the Knicks.

One of the worst ever was TMac vs spurs managing to overturn like an 11 point lead with a minute to spare

Why cricket is the greatest

Americans would lose it and shoot up a school looking at that and seeing only draws.

At least they’ll get super overs if it happens in the t20 world cup this summer.

I completely forgot it was in the US! I wonder if I’ll see it mentioned much

I’d have thought they’ll be trying to push it there what with the franchise league starting there soon, and the ample opportunities for ad breaks in cricket.

Yeah exactly, I see a fair bit of people playing around my way but its all Sri Lankans/Pakistanis/Indians etc. Haven't seen one white cricket fan.

Not sure what the numbers are, but I suspect there’s a decent size diaspora from SENA countries and the Windies in America as well. I think that’s mainly who the franchise owners are trying to attract.

Along with the Indian subcontinent, obviously.

I had a read on the venues and it seems like a few of the US ones were with Windies in mind + NY which would have fans from all over.

Will be good for me though, usually its impossible to get to watch the cricket unless its Ashes in the UK.
