Canny atmosphere

“Nothing to see here .... move on”

Is this the audience talk in they did in Ireland? If so it’s a must watch

The are useless - been shocking ever since Neymar went - had a chance with that money to build the team in 4/5 areas of need - completely wasted it Then spent 100m on AG - who is so out of sinc in this team it’s untrue They are in a complete mess

Not happy with this auto select bollocks - giving people who used a wildcard essentially another one free - decided not to bother until next season

She is mentioning Mr Mags? Is it a sign?

RE Seville derby - everytime I have watched this in the last 3/4 years there’s been loads of empty seats particularly at Sevilla’s ground - maybe it is to d with high ticket prices? Barca will be interesting - will have been a mini pre season under the new coach - they have so many issues with the team and squad - it’s been naively put together post Xavi/Iniesta - playing with no fans may actually help them away from home - they’ve been dreadful

Say we get taken over and look to Barca to sign players : for £65m I reckon you could get both Coutinho and Arthur - Barca don’t have a penny to spare

We got a training centre? Woah

Will the FA Cup have an impact on gameweeks? Seem cheated with this unlimited transfers stuff - had all my chips still to play in anticipation of 3/4 double gameweeks pre lockdown Good question, not sure tbh though mate. I saw a few people on the sub reddit complaining of the same thing and seemed to be implying the first week was now the only double GW, but I'm not 100%. It basically gives those who used their wildcard another free wildcard which isn’t right

Not much of a surprise - they’ve been linked with him for months now - wonder if he plays up top or the wing in their 4-3-3 system?

Loved transfer deadline day one year, when Jim White stopped an interview midway to take a fake phonecall on his mobile from one of his contacts - was so cringeworthy “I can confirm player X has now moved to Arsenal”

Would have been brilliant in the PL IMO - no issues with the lingo either

Would love to have seen Riquelme at Man City under Pep

Al-Rumayyan is the Chairman of Aramco so if this takeover fails then there is no chance Aramco can complete a takeover, all issues (human rights, piracy etc) would be the same Al-Rumayyan is squeaky clean - he's not even part of the royal family, in fact he's Shi'ite (is that how it's spelled?). Strong recruitment by MBS in any case Imo, the main issue with PIF is that it is by definition state owned. It is funded and regulated by the country. So there will always be a direct link between PIF and the government even if MBS was not explicitly nominated as a Chairman. I’d be very surprised if the chairman of PIF was a Shia - that’s like asking Yasir Arafat to be the Israeli prime minister - he’ll either be Sunni or Wahabi (likely to be Wahabi) - it’s the Iranians that are by in large Shia’s and Saudis Wahabi’s

This Though having a green away too will mean shirts selling like hot cakes in Saudi

Yeah that was a great read. Particularly interesting re their potential idea to mimic the City Football Group model, with them supposedly already having looked into Botafogo. Do they just love black and white stripes or summin? Supposedly it's the colours of Islam or something. Will probably be green then - although in Islam we don’t really have a colour as such

Should just file to be liquidated This. What on earth is going on at that club?

I could listen to the bloke all day - nobody will ever compare to him (for the time being)

Saw some Twitter links to him but he's been nothing special hasn't he after he failed at Munich and returned to Dortmund? Massively injury prone - has really kicked (due to injuries) on from the hype when Klopp was there

Keegan on the mic was brilliant IMO - could listen to the bloke all day

He was brilliant in these years for club and country - his first 2 years at Madrid were decent too but he suffered as a result of Madrid’s galactico policy - went from being a fantastic dribbler to just making simple 5 yard passes to Figo, Zidane et al If I remember correctly he was on the verge of signing for Barca until Sir Bobby recommended them Rivaldo instead??
