Hell yeah. Both the worst and best football I've seen from Ghent today.

The results.

Champions league:
Standard 0-0 Panathinaikos

Euro League:
Zulte Waregem 2-5 Shachtor Soligorsk
Club Brugge 3-0 Brøndby IF

Oostende 0-2 Anderlecht
Kortrijk 2-3 Standard
Racing Genk 1-1 Cercle Brugge
Charleroi 2-3 Westerlo
Moeskroen-Péruwelz 1-0 Waasland-Beveren
Lokeren 2-1 Zulte Waregem
Club Brugge 1-0 Lierse SK
AA Gent 3-1 KV Mechelen


Not the best week for Zulte, but at least we can write down the loss to Lokeren to habit. In more general news, the first two days have already been peak JPL. Incompetence from the bigger teams gets cancelled out by the incompetence of the rest of the league, the midtable clubs disappoint, there's a plucky underdog doing well with Westerlo being last year's Oostende - and in the end, Anderlecht win it.

In other news from the total joke of a club Racing Genk, they're now getting rid of defender Jeroen Simaeys because he made some remarks in the papers - remarks like 'poo poo is hosed up' 'we should play the players we bought.' So I guess other players will be playing.

Meanwhile, Jelle Vossen continues to frantically search for a foreign club who's willing to pay Way Too Much Money for his garbageman self.

It's all so sad. I really liked Genk two seasons ago. They were fun to watch. Now I hope they get relegated.

If the Costa Ricans want to see JJ Ruiz Do A Thing, he didn't quite end a beautiful move with a goal, but Franck Berrier tapped in the rebound so it's all good in the end. Starts at 0:40 - http://www.nieuwsblad.be/SportWereld/cnt/DMF20140809_01211105

Some pretty bad defending, though.

Wooooooooo! Go Gent!
Pretty stupid to start Souamahoro though, he was injured this week during training. Shame that he's made out of glass, I like him.
I also like Depoitre more and more, wasn't really convinced when we signed him, but hey, so far so good. Hope it lasts!

Wow, if Anderlecht really manage to sign Defour they go from "one of the likely title contenders" to "by far the most likely winner" in this poster's humble opinion.

I like Anderlecht when they play Champion's League and dislike them otherwise. I.e. I want them to win all their Champions League matches and lose all their JPL matches, if possible.

It's just kind of insane. They paid 6,5 million euros for Defour and he's getting 1,5 million in wages. Just compare that to the budgets of the smaller teams. There are entire squads out there that don't cost that much. It's complete overkill.

Luckily, they aren't getting Van Buyten - he's retiring.

What, why the gently caress would you do that? Isn't he awaiting how long he'll be banned and stuff? What possible good would signing him have?

R. Mute
Jul 27, 2011

He actually just got off on a procedural error, so he's free to play. I still don't know why we'd want him (other than: even if we sell him for peanuts in January, those are still peanuts we're getting) - it's like we learned nothing about keeping the happy from last year's shenanigans. Is he actually good? I've never heard of him before he punched that guy.

He was captain in the match he punched someone, so yeah, he wasn't bad, or at least, he was getting chances to evolve. Didn't know he got off, that's bad really.

I guess he might be entertaining to watch if we put him up there with Skulason in some sort of Bash Brothers kind of deal.
