Apparently the paparazzi guy who exposed this has said that he'll be releasing a lot more names. Has the potential to become a major scandal for Serie A.

A Horse Named Stranger Posted October 12, 2023 Author Share Posted October 12, 2023 Haaland with his obligatory goals. In other news. Albania beating the Czechs 3-0 feels just wrong. They are even sitting safely on top of their group with the Czechs and Poles fighting over 2nd. Is this generation of Albanian players good or Poland and Czech Republic just not getting their acts together? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea how Jones got a red for his tackle last week but Kovacic, who flies in with studs up and takes out Odegaard, gets a yellow. Both were clear reds IMO.

AncalagonTheBlack Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 BILD are claiming that Liverpool are looking into making Max Eberl the successor to current sporting director Jorg Schmadtke. On the Robbo injury, worst case he could be out for 3-4 months. Yikes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Horse Named Stranger Posted October 13, 2023 Author Share Posted October 13, 2023 Eberl would be an excellent pick. Would be interesting to see how he would do in such a cash flushed enviroment. However I still think Bayern is the more likely destination for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigFatCoward Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 (edited) Southgate really is tone deaf. 'I don't know why Henderson got boo's' maybe because he is a hypocrite and keeps getting picked despite playing at the equivalent of my high school football team level?

'I don't know why Henderson got got boo's' maybe because he is a hypocrite On that note, it was kinda amusing that on the English team you had Jordan Henderson, and on the Australian team you had Jackson Irvine as captains. The contrast in that sense was really something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teng Ai Hui Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 I'm watching the Wrexham game. Salford should be down to 10 men for a bodyslam on Paul Mullin. Announcers said that the tackle would have been illegal in rugby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consigliere Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Reports that Sheikh Jassim has withdrawn from the process to buy Man United. Also reports that Jim Ratcliffe's proposal to buy 25% of the club (viewed as a first step in a gradual takeover) is set to be ratified by United's board in the next week.

ljkeane Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Good news if it’s true. Jim Ratcliffe is a bit of a cunt but at least it’s not another sports washing club in the league. To be fair to him too he’s actually a United fan so that’s something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consigliere Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Yeah, Ratcliffe is a better option than Qatar, no doubt. Also seeing reports claiming that Ratcliffe's proposal includes taking control of football operations in addition to having clauses attached that would allow him to eventually complete a full takeover which is why he's prepared to pay a premium (reportedly £1.35 billion) for a 25% stake.

lacuna Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Sad to see that arguably the best Norwegian team in decades simply isn't able to hang with a Spain that's giving at most 80 %. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that simply results caught up with performances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really expect Norway to beat the real heavyweights like Spain - outside of Haaland and Odegaard, the Norway squad is pretty average.

Not superstars, but they hold their own. Just can't get things to gel, it seems. I'd be shocked if Nusa stays at Brugge for long, too. Really exciting player.
