Oh my god, that guy on fire at the end :(

I can't believe how quickly the place went up. The whole stand is engulfed in roaring flames in like two minutes.

Well tbf to them it doesn't seem like anyone is going to be hurt at first. it just looks like a crazy fire. Then burning people start spilling out of the place.

It's used in Health & Safety videos nowadays as an example of how quickly fire can spread and what caused it, i.e. the complete lack of any regular cleaning of all the litter etc under the stand. Built up dry debris + someone dropping a match after lighting a ciggie etc = conflagaration. Iirc it was the same circumstances at Kings Cross.

They got it too late. You have to put the tombstones up before the actual relegation.

"You can pay for your coffins with your bonuses."

Although Xerez have been having problems paying their players so they've probably not got any bonuses

For this recipie you will need:

I'm not sure he is a Muslim tbh, he's from Trinidad so it seems more likely he's some sort of Christian.

Yeah, he's a christian so I don't know where his girlfriend is coming from with the religious beliefs thing. Still a ridiculously dumb thing to do though.

fan: "Mario, tonight while Niang is sleeping, fix his mohawk!"
Niang: "The mohawk is fine, Mario's phone, not so much"
Balotelli: "Your mohawk is a disaster! Stephan's (El Shaarawy's) is better, you can't say anything"
Boateng: "It's true, Niang's is a disaster hahaha, the worst mohawk in the history of Milan"
