you can't really do anything against Ralf Rangnick's Austria though

not watching the game but apparently McTominay is doing fine at RW for Scotland

this should give ETH ideas if Antony was to follow a Greenwood path

they played us off the park and should have won by 3 or 4

disgusting 3 points to start the season

Garnacho really isn't a starter yet

Wolves are shaky at the back though and we have some bench so we might get to score at least one?

also, Atalanta already rinsed us once for Amad Traore, so they know we have a tendency to pay stupid fees sometimes

Know fuck all about french football. Whats Disasi like? I have every confidence in the recruitment so far but a steer would be nice. I hope he is another Botman. 

I think we were in competition with you at some point to sign him, which means he's probably quality.


...right ?

If man utd really are asking for 50 million for Maguire, that is fucking hilarious. 

how much is he worth then?

because it feels like asking for less than 50M is a hilarious loss on the purchase price, while asking for more than 50M is hilariously deluded considering the player he is 

Didn't realize that E. Mendy, Ziyech and Koulibaly were all past 30. You'd expect all three of them to have still a few good seasons to spend in Europe, though ?

Julian Alvarez joined the select group of players that won a Champions League, a Libertadores, a Copa América and a World Cup- alongside Dida, Cafu and Ronaldinho. He completed football at 23 years old, the bastard.

He's won the Premier League, Champions League and World Cup the same year. Has it ever happened?

Not that it's enough to make the Ballon d'Or top 3, though (you'd expect Messi, Haaland and Mbappé to make it, probably in that order...)

Liverpool paying 35 million for a proven Premier league talent is already the bargain of the summer transfer window. Absolute steal.

City, Chelsea or us would have been told to pay 70 M for him

That sounds indeed low for Mac Allister. 

As for Zlatan one of the great CFs of our generation, who had the misfortune to be playing at the same time as Messi and C. Ronaldo. Otherwise a Ballon d'Or would've been on the cards for him. Curious what he will do next. I could see him following a post playing career path similar to Cantona.  I don't see him as a head coach somewhere. 

 

 

Just like Lewandowski, Zlatan have always been accused of not being very good in the big, decisive games and I'm not sure Ronaldo and Messi not being there would have changed that (he even once played with Messi IIRC)

also, playing for Sweden is no boost in the race for a Ballon d'or

Gnabry's fuck up, no?

Sane had his goal (2-0) scratched off, because the handball in the buildup. Gnabry conceded the penalty.

I was referring to Sane's attempt like 30 sec before Musiala's goal, 1v1 vs the goalkeeper and he shots on him.

Musiala did well to cover a massive fuck up from Leroy Sane

Chelsea played better than I expected them to tbh.

They should keep Frank in the job

it really is City's year

also I think there is a pattern that if you draw the first leg at home despite being the better team, you are always going to be knocked out

Salah has been absolutely gash in front of goal tonight.

I readed this post and I knew Liverpool were in front without checking the score

Meh, 0-0. Draw worst of all worlds.

Loss would've been fine to give Düsseldorf a shot of finishing third ahead of mordor.

Win would have been better giving us a shot at finishing third.

Draw is just not gonna cut it for neither Düsseldorf, nor us.

which team are you rooting for, again ?

I think the only season post Fergie we had a decent finish run was the 19/20 season, but this was thanks to a 3 months break. Other than that, we have an usual collapse to end the season. Would be interesting to see how many PPG we average in our last 10 games each season, since 2013 vs prior to 2013.

guess who's going to gift Super Frank his first points on May 25th.

also that's the race to the CL spots in Serie A

these are really dark days. City are going to win the treble and leave us with only the Caravage Cup to draw solace from

that's the usual manager bounce against United written all over thursday though

We were the better team once Eriksen was took off. He really hasn't recovered from his injury yet

Fair play to Brighton though, they are a nightmare to play against and would deserve a top 6 finish.

not sure if I care a lot about that result.

( I mean we've had an embarassing performance tonight but the result was always a bit predictable after we bottled that two goal lead in a game we cruised. That's debatable but we kinda lived what Barca lived against us )

We're not in the same position than 16/17 when we needed to win the EL

of course, it's only true if we stay at 3rd. I guess reaching the FA cup final would be cool as well...

I told you he's better than anyone
