At a minimum, we should be able to amortize both his wages and a portion of his transfer fees for FFP purposes, but I realize that none of these rules are designed to make sense so who knows really.

As far as I'm concerned, the fact that the team is still even remotely functional despite a ridiculous amount of injuries and our top summer signing getting suspended for he entire season is a testament to the fact that we have a strong squad built on good transfer business, not the other way around. You can only prepare so much for contingencies. It's no reasonable to have expect a whole XI of top-quality starters waiting in the wings when our first team starts going down.

I've had way too much positivity for the past couple of years. Thank you this game for reminding me how much I hate football

OH FUCK RIGHT OFF

4 points out of three games is a bit of a bummer when you consider that two of them were at home. Really don't fancy the PSG or Dortmund away ties.

Just one of those days

Oh come on

Great finish, to be fair

Oof, back off now

I hear his replacement Ozozcan isn't too shaby either.

We bought this man as a striker

Yeah you can tell pitch conditions must be shit. Ball just bounces wherever. Keep it in the general area of the opposing goal and it's probably bouncing in eventually.

These fuckers are good. We are good. Just two good teams doing good team things.

We've had such a ridiculously large amount of long-term injuries that sometimes I just forget about certain players entirely. Botman? Who's that? Havey Barnes? He play for us?

Miggy taking the time to remind us that he has no right foot

It's a difficult situation. It's going to be hard to convince anyone of quality to come and be the clear third-choice striker when we never play two up top. Honestly, Chris Wood was just about the best we can expect for that role.

Thanks Nick

Two teams pressing the shit out of each other on a wet pitch, what could possibly go wrong.

I have to say, it finally just feels normal to see us playing in the Champions League.

First-ballot hall of fame post IMO.

Title-o-meter please

Not an expert but you generally can’t insure against intentional conduct, and I’d think you’d have a hard time arguing that the gambling wasn’t intentional, addiction or not.

(Knocks furiously on wood) don't tempt fate man

It’s hard to imagine any sort of commercial contract where one party’s non-disclosure of an ongoing criminal investigation would not be grounds for some sort of remedy, but the sports world is nuts so who knows. Most likely outcome is that we raise a stink with Milan and it gets settled out of court imo.

It doesn't really matter in my view. He will know loads of non-public information about the team, and he has ways of influencing the outcome even without playing.
