It hosted the UEFA Super Cup for 2016, so not too random a choice. Not many big stadiums in Norway!

What a surprise, the German team won the penalty shoot out!

Well done to the dog botherers, they've now matched us in being promoted from every full time league via the play offs

The quality of refereeing doesn't improve, if anything you'll be getting even less decisions as you visit the flounces that play for the big Premier League teams. Let's hope you do a Burnley and a Bournemouth ando enjoy a few seasons of crashing the party.

How would this affect negative-potential players whose potential is already variable? Is it applied after the "negative-potential" and therefore adds 2 levels of variableness to the PA?

One for @Rob I think!

Hamilton stopped Dundee United from returning to the top league, a 1-0 agg score over two legs shows how tight it was though! Next year for my Scottish tangerines.

I think in the end it just meant more to the Arsenal players, maybe because of their disappointing season or just because of the speculation around their manager.

A decent final though. Will it be enough for Sanchez, Ozil and Wenger?

Wow. Celtic score the winner in the 91st minute in the cup against an Aberdeen side that put up a good fight for 70 mins, and even went ahead (albeit for 2 mins).

Well done Brenda.

Are they brining in a new goalkeeper? They need too! A lot depends on Kompany keeping fit too in the centre of their defence.

I (and others) have always found that one sadly lacking in originality and the questions are very leading. You are better off finding out where on the political spectrum you come from and I quite like spekr.org

Just copied the opening bit from another forum, as soon as I tried it and it gave me 76% Green party I figured it wasn't that accurate!

The Premier League seems to have a page for this: https://www.premierleague.com/news/402028

Not sure how often they update it.

This Man United away kit is plain awful

I assume you're writing this and posting it on a lot of sites, and I hope you continue to do so here.

I've only caught up/started reading these today, and boy oh boy am I glad I did. I've not seen a story written as well as this about an FM career in... well, ever. My Friday afternoon at work on a Bank Holiday weekend was always going to be quiet and tedious, but this story perked me up and ate into the hours much more than I could have managed alone with my leftover Kendal mint cake. So much so that I've even had to go straight on my tablet when I got home to read up to the current episode. Bravo, my friend.

The only thing I can think of is possibly including some screenshots to give it some FM authenticity, though then I worry it might detract from your prose.

Roll on June 5th!

Vamos Heróis!

Think you could well be right.

He's put out a statement effectively confirming his retirement.

For the right manager, Palace do seem like a decent opportunity. Yet they never seem to find anyone able to do anything for more than a couple of months then who finds a way to let them down.

So, Moyes next for them?

£100k p/w for a 34 year old goalhanger who contributes nothing to general play and a third of his goals coming from pens.

Yeah that's fantastic business

At the bottom of the table, it could well be. I'm not suggesting he's gonna join Chelsea or compete with Harry Kane. For a newly promoted team, a reliable penalty taker who can cope with the Premier League should be more appealing than taking a risk on a hopeful from abroad who has never played here before.
