Jeez, mentioning "Supporting Arsenal club" in DAF is surely an easy way of getting 190+. No better way of building your character than supporting this club.  

exactly...lol...."positive attitude" is a given for arse supporters...but can also be seen as delusional optimism by board members :P

Arsenal fans have the greatest degree of optimism possible in any living species. The UPSC should have made special provision for horizontal reservation for the likes of us- +5 marks for living constantly with the feeling of being battered and still being hopeful to achieve glory someday. That's exactly what you need in a CS! :)

OFFICIAL STATEMENT | JUAN CALA, WE DON'T BELIEVE YOU

Valencia CF are deeply saddened by statements made by Cádiz CF player Juan Cala this Tuesday, in which 48 hours later, he denied racially insulting Mouctar Diakhaby during the LaLiga match played last Sunday at the Ramón de Carranza.  Cala has missed a great opportunity to accept his mistake and apologise to the player affected. Instead of doing this, he attacked both Diakhaby and other members of Valencia CF.  Valencia CF wish to reiterate that we believe our player and back him completely. After the threats made by Cala in his press conference this Tuesday, April 6th, the Club, president Anil Murthy and Mouctar Diakhaby himself remain firm in the conviction to fight to the end, wherever necessary, on the matter for the good of football and society. Valencia CF will not stop fighting for an improvement in protocol and in the battle against racism in football.

@AzadHindFauzHaha! When your best players are teenagers( Smith Rowe & Saka) and your highest paid players keep bottling match in match out, takes a lot of courage to turn the screen ON xD
Best of Luck for your interview though!

@CelebornRealised that La Liga is not televised in India. Had to skip the live telecast as the only 'legit' way was to make a FB account and watch the match on Official La Liga page. But boy the highlights were good. I almost believed Barca would level it up and the last few moments were jittery for Courtois. Overall, a Madrid win has added spice to the race. And as a matter of fact, sevilla is still in it! xD

After these past two games with Barca & Liverpool, Madrid is looking for some breath. It has been really a hectic schedule and who knows when they will shed a point or three in the upcoming games. I hope they at least get through Anfield safe and sound.

Has anyone noticed The Hindu’s favourable bias for Messi?

P.s. this is not a ronaldo-messi debate, just an objective/academic discussion

Jurgen Klopp hopes Super League 'will never happen'

Waiting for his next press conference. I hope he doesn't change his stance now.

No one is going to watch these matches if these clubs get banned from the National leagues

UEFA had already issued a scathing statement before the announcement that they will be banned and still they moved forward and announced the ESL. The clubs have even shown their intent to participate in the national tournament. Now god only knows what is cooking! A closed league with no relegation seriously? How fragile can a football club be to make such a format!

@GravityShades Chelsea, Liverpool, Spurs, Arsenal are all outside top 4 at the moment. Juventus is 4th in Serie A. Barca and Real are struggling with debt. It's clear why they are doing it. Only the stadium going fans can do something about it now.
