I think it's to do with the fact it doesn't look like the real deal without them, so it'd feel like you'd just as well could've picked up a snide one in Turkey.

Rangnick's literal thing is long-term thinking though, and you guys went all "let's hire him on a temp deal"

Swapping him for temp-Rangnick was peak current day Man Utd.

I wish we were offloading more of our shit players on payroll. Then again, they might just be so shit they can't be offloaded as who'd take them?

How is it so easy to be corrupt in business? I mean, I'm not complaining since we're the benefactors for once, but still. It's essentially just PIF giving us money.

If anything, it also makes his goals scored more impressive

If it's true he doesn't take a DP spot the max he can earn in wages from his club in a year is $612,500

I think this has been explained in the past as the stripes on shirts not expanding similar to the sizes increase or something, so everything extra small or large will be "off"

This sentence makes it appear you did more than just find out it was Zinchenko's wife as you typed it out

For some reason I ended up on a Chronicle interview with Wesley Ngo Baheng from April this year and this gem struck me: "I'm not going to say bad things, but Michael Owen at Newcastle United wasn't at his prime, let's be honest. Everybody knows." Just a dig out of fucking nowhere, gotta love it as he was asked which strikers at NUFC impressed him the most

He argued with the Lille manager which is why he got shafted. I could die a happy man if Ben Arfa returned.

Youth teams, he's 17 or something

We should just buy his cousin

Never really been much into individual worship of a footballer. As a kid the only thing that came close would be Shearer and Filippo Inzaghi, with Roar Strand thrown into the mix from watching Rosenborg. Beyond that I absolutely still worship Hatem Ben Arfa. I have a soft spot for Oguchi Onyewu and Landon Donovan from my good old FIFA playing years as I'd be playing with the US national side with mates and we'd have tons of internal jokes. Soft spot for our very own Jonas as well. Keegan and SBR are also next level, but not as players for me. Egil Olsen as well for what he did to Norway in the 90s.

Played just as boring at the EC, if you want to judge by entertainment value as a merit and not results. Draws against Italy and Germany wouldn't be bad results on their own so the results are still there.

Kjetil Knutsen looks off to Blackburn from Bodø/Glimt, their new DoF had his last day on the job as DoF of Bodø/Glmit last week.

I hate how the Norway manager keeps impressing me with his press conference statments 'cause I don't want to like him. Anyway: "How did Haaland react to being substituted?" "He's a professional player and I am the manager, it's my decision and he respects that. We don't have any Mbappes so I'm still the one in charge."

International matches usually tends to be a massive win, but this round? Spain fucking losing to the Czech fucking Republic and more favourites losing.

Haaland is quite good.

Nothing wrong with that being a pen, it'd have been a free kick anywhere else on the pitch which means it's a penalty if done in the box. Krafth is gonna Krafth.

The Norway manager replied greatly to a question at the pre-match press conference against Serbia today when asked why he hadn't picked a Norwegian striker that was on fire for Red Star Belgrade for the squad. "Have you heard of Erling Haaland?" "Yes." "There's your answer."

He left a cushy job and what would have been a cushy payoff if sacked and brought international attention to the issue (and himself, admittedly).

Regardless of if he thought it'd be good PR for himself or not, it was the right thing to do and I wish more people did what he did - even if they do it for their own selfish reasons - as it sets a proper example that racism won't be tolerated. Credit where credit is due.
