He plays for AC Milan. Seen him wear the armband. People are being pedantic. It's not about the French league, it's about inexperience at a high-level. Being a goalkeeper isn't like being a central midfielder

Unless I’m missing something, a draw at Arsenal will only be of any use if Villa or Chelsea draw their games on Friday. Otherwise, we’ll still need to win vs Everton to be sure of finishing in top 5.

Maignan a keeper from the french league is absolutely brilliant too.

Goalkeeper specifically. As I mentioned elsewhere - there are exceptions but most GKs hit their peak later in their careers. I look at the business other clubs have done: Vicario Sanchez Martinez Ramsdale Kepa Pope The best business was the older GKs. I like Vicario mind but a GK that needs to learn on the job will cost us points.

Yup. Let them get it and then challenge it legally and bring the house down.

Has there ever been a real high quality African keeper? I’m sure there probably has been, but I can’t think of one off the top of my head. Suppose Grobbelaar was Zimbabwean wasn’t he? Long time ago though.

Oh I’m all for them winning to bloody the PL and Cartel even more. But the baked in construct of the Cartel rules is what pisses you off.

Apols - read an article that said they were a high probability but never actually looked at the table. Quirk means that those two playing each other means Dortmund need anything more than a one goal win to bag it.

Freiburg are in 4th and play Frankfurt at home. They're a point above Dortmund. Freiburg have 4 wins and a draw in their last 5 matches. Dortmund to the CL is not a guarantee.

Aye, didn’t realise it was an open training session either so even those doing a light session are being classed as back.

Only caught the last 20 mins of normal time and then the extra time. Coventry were absolutely in the ascendancy until the last 15 mins when they ran out of legs. Sunderland were woeful up to that point. I'm not from the NE so the rivalry means very little to me so I feel I can watch it a bit more objectively. And objectively they were rubbish until the Cov players died on their feet.

Wonder why Trubin isn't linked with a PL move yet.

Will be like when Quaid / Hauser goes fucking nuts when they try to put him back in the Total Recall machine. https://youtu.be/YUQuCdPqiKI?si=w4N0JLGdX_YJVea8

Why are we wanting City to get charged? Aren’t they one of our allies in terms of showing how ridiculous FFP is? If they get off scott-free then that opens up the door for our owners to inflate our commercial deals (should they want to) and go ape in the transfer market.

Not too arsed, I hope they get to the Play off final every year for the next ten

They beat Leverkusen at the weekend to more or less guarantee CL.

Yes, very winnable by us, but very difficult. On top of that, I think we SHOULD win, and I think we will.

Urgggh. Great player for a grubby club.

FFP working exactly as planned. Those 115 charges aren’t really a deterrent are they? Whilst they got £100m back for Alvarez, Cancelo and Harwood-Bellis, this is pretty obscene.

Agreed. I don't think Eddie will ever let himself really throw away a game/competition, but I hope we have a squad next season that lets us properly put everything into qualifying for CL (and more...) again. It would be my only true target, although scoring another league cup on the way would also be massive for the club.

Dunno, but by all accounts we've got some breathing space with regards PSR.

I thought that "1892" has been recently established as the wrong year?

Villa 2-1 Spurs Chelsea 2-1 Man United Everton 2-1 Southampton West Ham 1-2 Forest Brentford 2-1 Fulham Leicester 3-1 Ipswich Arsenal 0-1 Newcastle Brighton 1-3 Liverpool Palace 2-0 Wolves Man City 1-1 Bournemouth

Even if they're training, given the length of time they've been out with their injuries, i'd be very surprised if Havertz or Jorginiho get any meaningful minutes.
