The random Belgian team who beat us in a friendly at PR and it was considered a terrible result, just seen that they lost the top League title on goal difference at the weekend.
Also, didn’t know they are owned by Brighton chairman Tony Bloom - that man seems to turn everything to gold |  |

Their league system is so random. You could finish top of the league after 34 games but then get put into a playoff between the top 4 finishing teams of that season!
Last season Brugge finished 2nd but ended up winning the league because they won the playoffs |  |

They came top last year and also got to the Europa League quarter finals this season.
How much our fortunes differed in that brief spell since we played them! |  |

Was going to post this later - was a heck of a climax.
Three teams going into the final day with a chance of winning. USG winning 1-0 in 89 minute, enough to clinch the league as things stood. They concede, so Genk who are beating Antwerp 2-1 stand to win the league. Then up pops Toby Alderweirald in the 94th minute to equalise for Antwerp and win them their first title in over 60 years.
Watch here:
Limbs everywhere. |  |

Antwerp also won the league at Union SG's expense... as they were top until the 93rd minute until conceding twice in stoppage time v Brugge  | |

Ross Sykes moved there last summer from Accrington Stanley. He's had a reasonable first season with them, and we're hoping to get over to see them sometime.
(He's KJ's cousin's other half, so was always good to catch up with them over a weekend whilst we had the unfortunate situation to be playing them a few times in recent seasons. When we lost the FA Cup game up there, we went bowling the following day, and Yasmin actually beat Ross - and on winning, her words to Ross were "And that's for Ipswich!!" as she'd been the mascot the day before, carrying the ball onto the pitch. |  |
