Club stooge says everything is looking good. Whoever would have thought that?

Going to try and pop in for an hour if possible. After the match, before food. I'll need to see what's what first though

Ah, gotcha

Sure Ruddock did him in pre-season? Definitely very early on in the season

I know no transfer is 'free' as such but not having to pull a big wedge of cash out to strengthen the squad has got to be a good thing. Sure he'll have a hefty signing on fee etc but I'd imagine he'd normally go for maybe 25-30m if he wasn't out of contract? Already good, can develop as he goes and isn't costing a bomb. Got to be a positive move

Didn't he leave a training session then just not bother turning up again for them? Not even a call to anyone, just left and fucked off for good?

Bellingham sot is evens tonight on skybet

With every passing article like that I'm more and more confident that these cunts have no idea what they're doing. They'll probably finish above us, could even win the Cup next month but these fuckers will take that club backwards, every action screams unprofessional and leaking shit like that is borderline criminal, well-run clubs don't brief journalists about every single decision like this lot appear to be doing

The dirty little slut

And whatever they decide to do they need to get a move on before the rules are changed and the cost of the refurb counts towards FFP/PSR/new pigshit rules

Mentioned this a few weeks ago - to have no corporate at all running along the entire touchline isn't sustainable to maximising income. Corporate is going to be one of the next big cash injections we need to push on

Best thing Souness ever did in his career was to completely demolish the Boot Room as soon as he got the job down there. Just destroyed decades of culture and continuity overnight and it put them back 20 years. It was fucking brilliant

I think the fact only 3/20 teams actively dislike this new introduction is really encouraging for us and others. It suggests that many clubs are massively pissed off with the FFP/PSR rules as they currently stand and they need complete overhaul, not only do many reject FFP but they're now willing to oppose the big 6 and openly vote against them. In the past they've always just gone with them and most new rules have passed virtually unchallenged, the vote today implies that the worm has well and truly turned and there's appetite for huge changes and the PL can't say they never saw it coming. The way they've handled the FFP breaches at Everton, Forest and City have been a shambles. This is just the start of the small 14 pushing back and rejecting what is being pushed upon them

7 seems about right. Beat Brighton then take 4 or 5 from the 3 aways

First yellow of Betis/Sevilla. 6th minute...

Any idea who is showing Betis-Sevilla tonight?

Agreed

There's an injury thread, please post it in there

Arsenal looking strong and very organised here, they've become a really tough but to crack. Even getting 1 seems like a big job home or away against this lot, just defending a unit and covering for each other, putting in the graft. They look like champions tbph

You know it

You'd also think they may have more than one eye on the Cup Final too. Wouldn't want to miss the big showpiece event at the end of the season would they?

It's just a nudge but if he doesn't nudge him then Carlos heads it and clears it. He didn't get that chance and even though it's not much contact it's a foul.

Madueke always comes across as a massive bellend. Sure if you're a Chelsea fan you love him but I'd still struggle to take to him

Been coming tbf
