God I hate the fucker. Won his league, couldn't have done any better, great season. What about attempting to join the league above? Mediocrity dressed as success, first press conference back and the cunt's wound me up already with his gormless, self-promoting bullshit. Spinning it already before a ball's been kicked, the rancid twat, uuurgh.

Boca is tremendous. Only way it could be improved is by having the yellow stripes all the way down the sleeve.

I''ll go with an 8-5 goalfest. Youtube will be ripping their skeletons out over the views. Future scholars of the game will cite it as a seminal moment in the history of the sport. A 90 minute experience that shifted the paradigm.

no bother chap

It's also headed shots, not just sot

Signed under the rayer-dar marra

Sad state of affairs when my immediate reaction is to think they've agreed a fee then deliberately lowballed the player to give the illusion of ambition. It would be utterly typical of these cunts and their little PR games.

Surely you contact the agent first and discuss this type of shit first? I know you're not supposed to but every club just does it anyway.

Not fair on the fans iirc

So sky have PL and Bundesliga, BT have some PL, serie A and Ligue 1 and la liga is on Premier Sports? Is that right?

Need to wait for the big, big clubs to make their moves before we look at the unwanted scraps left over in the loan market. Won't hear a peep from Bruce either, he'll do exactly as he's told to by his owners.

Problem he has is unless he takes a massive wage cut then his options are tiny. I'm assuming he's weighed it all up and PSG, as scummy as they are, offer him a good team, can afford to give him what he's asking for and the chance of winning leagues, cups and a genuine tilt at the CL for the next couple of years. It's not the move I'd have made personally, if I'm comfortably financially then I'd be looking for the challenge pov and accept a massive hit on wages. Sign for someone close to his heart or a club he adores back home maybe? PSG ticks most of his boxes and it's obviously the best option he has plumped for. Bit of a shit end to his career imo but it's his decision.

They've got the club they deserve. They're the reason he's still here after 15 years, misguided loyalty to a club that actively shits on them on an annual basis. Bootlicking doormats who will accept anything and pay through the nose for the privilege. I get the argument they're great fans because they support through thick and thin but there comes a point where you have to understand that you're the very reason Ashley hasn't sold up yet. That penny hasn't dropped yet for thousands. Hope they all have a thoroughly fucking shit day.

Probably the novelty of actually being able to see a game live at a lowish price will entice a few idiots. Let's see if they're still smiling at HT.

Rewarded for continuing to be Ashley's subservient fat bitch. The fact Ashley knows it'll piss off the vast majority of the fanbase is just a happy coincidence for the fat man. Still think a poor start to the season will crank the pressure up on him and he'll crumble, hopefully in public. Just means he walks away with a big lumper when his luck runs out unfortunately. This sums up the club perfectly, zero ambition, investment or hope, 17th is the target and always will be.

Everything's always a battle with him isn't it? Battle to get fit, battle to stay up, battle to stay in the cups, battle to secure a signing, the constant barrage of negativity is just bizarre. It's almost as if he knows that pushing the struggle relentlessly will hoodwink some into thinking that his repeated failures as a manager is simply down to his unlucky hand he's been dealt. This constant battle to achieve anything of note attracts sympathy from his mates in the press. It's as if he's engineering the narrative so he either 'triumphs' in the face of adversity or heroically succumbs to the constant battles he's fighting and inevitable losing. Completely ignoring the fact he's actually in charge of the team and is able to influence every single thing that he does with his squad on a daily basis and has been for 2 fucking years now. He's a horrible, sly, 2 faced, manipulative cunt.

What a rotten bit of luck...

Did Benitez walk in the last week in July? Don't think he did like. This bloke is a fucking arsehole. Bemoaning the fact his mate is compared to Benitez whilst simultaneously comparing him to Benitez as and when he chooses. This pair of cunts deserve each other.

Finished 12th. Why would he need more signings? He's clearly absolutely fucking class and finished miles above the relegation zone last season, why does he need backing if he's so good?

Sooner the big clubs sort out their transfer plans the better. Poor old Steve is working with one arm tied behind his back, bless him.

Bruce's comments, as horrific as they seem, aren't that far wrong tbh. We may have been a big club in the past, we may be in the future but right now we're as smalltime as it gets. We act small, spend small and have no ambition other than staying up every single year. We're not a big club anymore, his comments are a perfect reflection of where we actually are as opposed to to where we all want to be. This is why a change in ownership is essential, this bloke sees success as a negative, something to be wary of as success raises expectations, this ultimately means having to spend more money. That's not why he owns us, he wants maximum exposure and income for the minimal outlay possible, that's his entire mission and it's utterly soul destroying tbh.

Finished 12th and a whopping 17 points clear of relegation. Why would you need to invest when there's such a comfortable buffer zone? Only a complete and utter fuckw.......oh...

Wish Lazio weren't such utter cunts, that away kit may well be the best kit of 2021 tbh, absolute taste.

Did he mention the small budget we have at all tonight? That's got to be make things super difficult for him and therefore anything other than abject failure will be seen as a positive for the gormless fuckwit. Surely?

Solid 9.2, mind and body cortisoned years ago. Nothing hurts any more
