The abuse Vini jr has had to suffer is just horrible. I’ve hated Real Madrid all my life but I almost want them to win now, just so Vini can lord it over those (many, many) racist pricks who’ve been chanting vile shit at him all across Spain. 

Aston Villa FC

BVB win 0-3 and can win it in front of their own fans. 

Scheiss FC Bayern. 

Get in! Seb Haller puts Dortmund in front.

Incredible that Dortmund haven’t scored, except it’s Dortmund so what do you expect. Augsburg down to 10 men as well.

100 per cent.

Brann win the cup. Bring on Monday, when my city is liveable again. 

Got it all in our own hands now. You’d have taken that and ranna mile before today’s games. 

If I get to full time without being sick in my mouth I have no idea how. Nerves are killing me. 

Squeeky bums last 10 mins of that, but an absolutely brilliant first 30 mins. 

No doubt the 40k odd referees in the stands will get their will at some point though, so we’re gonna need another one at least. 

John Cleese. 

Been feeling shit since Wednesday. Probably got the old covid again (third time.) It’s like swallowing razorblades right now and I’m getting intensly bored just lounging around and not being able to spend any quality time with my son.

I still despise the investment in other clubs(…)I would have hated when PSG were linked briefly to do similar to us in Championship

Completely agree. I want no part of it. I support Aston Villa, «V Sports» or whatever  it’s called means nothing to me. 

I’ll go one step further and say I despise any and all private ownership and control of a football club, but that’s for another time. Clubs should be owned and controlled by their members, and certainly not fall under the yoke of a dominant club within an international «group».

In my rather limited experience (all in Bergen), I've haven't found Bergensians to be loudmouthed or smug if they don't know you're from Oslo!

I’ve met loads of perfectly nice Bergensians. Just don’t tell anyone I said that! 

They’ll be loudmouthed and smug this weekend, though. And understandably so. They get to go to the capital, an actual city, and play in the cup final

The 2022 Cup final is tomorrow. Yes, that’s right, the previous years’ cups have been delayed for COVID reasons, so the final, which should have been played in November, is played tomorrow in Oslo.

Lillestrøm will play Brann (Bergen) which means my dear city will be packed with loudmouthed, smug Bergensians all weekend. Best avoid the city all together.

those ugly scenes from the dark ages back again.

You just hate to see it, Tom. Disgusting behaviour. 

Shame they had to take football back to the dark ages with the celebrations though.

Yeah, Flint should have been off there. 

Football!

Don’t you pretty much hate any team that’s not Vålerenga?   Lillestrøm, Rosenborg, Molde I think you’ve listed so far.  Aren’t Lyn also hated by Vålerenga fans?

Hahaha, sure, fair point. Lillestrøm and Lyn are local rivals (there’s an element of class conflict with Lyn as well, as they are from the upper class areas of Oslo west) and Rosenborg are the Man Uniteds of Norwegian football. 

Molde, however, are just a nasty, horrible little club with no fans and lots of money from a rich owner. Dull town, terrible club that treats away fans like rubbish and named a rapist captain. 

Okay, I’m kinda proud of this one, as it’s my local club and I helped rig the banner. Vålerenga legend has ALS and was honoured at half time today:

Aalesunds get their first goal of the season (game eight) and go on to beat local rivals Molde 3-1. Brilliant. I f***ing hate Molde.

3-0 home win and a display pre-game:
