Just watching an old QI and apparently the heraldic devices are NOT lions but leopards.
Doesn't have the same ring does it?

Ahhhhh. No, it doesn't. In any of the 36 versions of the song.
"47 years of hurt" doesn't scan so well, either.
Seems that Barcelona need a goal a minute for the next eight minutes !
Chelsea - Basel tomorrow!
Has Guardiola taken over early?

That's the perversity of the whole thing. Bayern will win the German championship with an over 20 points margin and probably the national cup and the champions leaugue as well. And yet they kick out their coach for a younger ans sexier one. Plus they buy off the best players of the other German teams so that the next few Bundesliga seasons will be a farce.

I think their coach is leaving of his own accord.
He wanted to stay as far as I know. They didn't prolong his contract. It doesn't make much sense to get a new job as a coach at his age. Shame, because he was about the only thing I liked about Bayern. Maybe ex-Basel player Shaquiri is another fave.
Speaking about Basel, let's see if they can kick Chelsea's and Chapper's asses!

At leasr Chelsea and Manchester City prevent Manchester United from doing the same every year over here by plundering other teams.
In the last few games Manchester United have only started with one player who's come through the ranks - Evans, Welbeck and Giggs I think - but everyone still slags off the blue teams for doing the same.
Champs elysées!
