That sounds absolutely class.

A lot of areas are being told not to travel unless absolutely necessary so it's probably the right thing to do not to ask people to get themselves to a football match.

Lovely goal.

Pickford

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51419080 It never ceases to amaze me how easily people believe shit they read on the internet.

He'd have been perfect in midfield with our 5 at the back formation with Rafa Never has a foreign player, a Spanish one to boot, adapted to the pace and demands of the Premier League as quickly and effortlessly as this guy. What, Mikel Merino? Not sure about that like.

Loved Isak for betting when he was in Holland.

A magistrate at least, and if it were true the Chronicle would have had a "5 things we learned in court about Mike Pendridge's penis" article up within minutes.

Not sure it's even true tbh, can't find a source beyond a series of generic football Twitter accounts like that one.

That goal was absolutely identical to Quagliarella's last night.

"See what they're doing with FA Cup"

The bloke is barely literate.

It's the same writer.

Danny Rose on loan?

Why do the media make more of the Saudis humanitarian record when they're buying us but all the clubs that are owned by the Russians or the Chinese get hardly any bother at all? They're worse than the Saudi in the humanitarian world rankings... not by much, but certainly worse none-the-less. Can you list "all the clubs" that are owned by the Chinese and Russian governments?

Indeed. It's why I look forward to the international tournaments more than anything in the calendar now, there remains a purity to them that, even taking into account the gross way FIFA go about staging them, once they begin those events are ultimately about the sporting glory most of all.

I enjoy the hypothetical discussion Yorkie. I'm quite enjoying seeing first hand what Rory Smith has been on about for years with Man City fans and the way they go on as cheerleaders for Abu Dhabi. Is wanting to feel proud of the club you support and proud of the way it represents your city just a complete anachronism now at the top end of the modern game? I suspect I know the answer. Bet Assad wishes he'd bought an English football team years ago, he really genuinely missed a trick.

Well I would never compare the US to Saudi Arabia, but what I will say is that the US inflicts death and devastation across the globe in the name of profit. If we are going to be picky about who owns us, should we write off American investors as well? Even Britain is cosy with the Saudis, we don't have any qualms about doing business with them, so I think I'll be okay with it if they want to build us a fantastic football team which we can finally be proud of again. With the caveat that it's a load of shite, it's not "Saudi investors", it's the state of Saudi Arabia. Quite a big difference.

He's the owner.

Lads it's utter bollocks. I've not seen this many arguments over a fairytale since the Christianity thread was popular.

It was scheduled for February because it's usually when we have the worst weather, not to mention that the Christmas/NY programme is extremely popular.

Christ not this tripe again.
