Mad that Oxlaide-Chamberlain is Arsenals record sale

He copied it of Morgan Rodgers from when they played at City together. The Cold Palmer thing is just commentary making dad jokes

Why even tweet that? Hindsight is 20/20

Adeyemi is a great shout at that price. Him, Gordon and Isak is some pace upfront like.

Non League player got ten year ban for spot fixing yellow cards in an FA cup tie a few years back https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/63302914

France’s Olympic squad looking pretty tidy. Ridic depth they have

Also why do we NEED to bring in Rio?

Adeyemi would be world class if he had a first touch

Isn’t that basically what Fun88 were?

It’s too late to get your move to Man U Alan, why you fawning over them

That’s worse than the one we gifted them

Aye less of that please you tiki taka wankers

I think he just looks like a skull if that makes sense

Score then you sky blue bellends

Boo hoo. It’s called being Man United manager, it comes with the territory. I love that we don’t whinge about the press or refs, it’s just a total waste of energy.

Spot fixing is very much a criminal offence but I imagine the burdens of proof for criminal proceedings is higher than what the FA need

Howay City

When they were talking about him on OTC when he originally announced he was quitting they mentioned that being Barca manager whilst also being Catalan is absolutely exhausting as your are the de facto head of the Catalan Independence movement. They said it’s why Guardiola loves being at City as he can just be a pure football manager and not also seventy other things. Hopefully he tries his hand elsewhere at a progressive club, he has some good ideas but could never really fully realise them at Barca. Him and Pirlo jumped to the big jobs too quickly and when both clubs were in situations where it is almost lose/lose. Bit like Shearer in our relegation season I suppose.

Yeah the Journos on the Ratcliffe payroll are even less subtle than the ones Man U previously paid

I think buy in is what a manager lives and dies by, the Ipswich lads haven bought into McKenna as he’s improved all of their careers and they know they owe a big part of that too him. Similar to Howe and Rafa here, the players could see they were improved (and in some instances had their careers saved). At Man U that dynamic isn’t really there, these are all established internationals for the most part and have seen managers come and go. There was noises that his training sessions when at Man U weren’t all that liked. It’s why unless you are a former elite player (like Alonso) or a serial winner (Pep, Ancelotti) it’s incredibly hard to motivate players at these mega clubs unless the situation is already favourable.
