Completely unrelated but also Portsmouth winning the FA Cup while getting relegated in the same season, leading to the only time a lower division England side were in the Europa league.

not only is this not the only time this happened, it also didn't happen
- they lost to Chelsea in the final, who were already qualified for the CL
- their place was given to 7th in the league instead because they went into administration
The time they were in the UEFA Cup was two years earlier when they actually won the cup and didn't get relegated

But what is funny is at one point the Fair Play winners got a UEFA Cup spot, which Ipswich did while getting relegated

The fact that this rule got put in place because UEFA gave the Premier League a choice of Liverpool or Everton and were shocked when the PL prioritised their own competition placings

That UEFA immediately backed down and shoved Liverpool in the 1st-round qualifiers, making them visit the mean streets of Total Network Solutions in mid-July

The Arsenal Birmingham cup final reminded me of William Gallas throwing a big strop in the centre of the pitch but that was a different match:

There was some vintage Arsenal defending in that cup final tho:

I wasn't into soccer when this happened, but someone just showed this to me and I wanted to share.

I like how Trump doesn't realize (and I'm sure doesn't actually care) what a cool draw he helped put together by matching Leeds against Manchester United.

Real Madrid and their transfers (and manager carousel) the past 20 years could probably fill an entire thread.

The Adebayor story reminded me about how they needed a right midfielder before they bought Ronald so they got Julian Faubert on loan from West Ham for half a season.
