FOOTBALL WILL STOP ITSELF

Red flags fluttered all over Europe this weekend, as the modern sport of association football bared its jacksie in brazen style. Ten-in-a-row Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich won 7-0 at Bochum. Paris Saint-Germain also scored seven away as they humped Lille, one of only two clubs to have stopped them winning Ligue Urrrrn in the past decade. Barcelona and Real Madrid also notched big wins on the road, a pair of 4-1 victories against Real Sociedad and Celta Vigo, respectively. The Queen’s Celtic established a two-point cushion over The Pope’s Newc O’Rangers after their fourth straight win, so that’s Scotland done and dusted, you see if we’re wrong. The €uropean $uper £eague clearly wasn’t the answer, but we surely can’t go on like this.
