Glad it’s finally happened. Was being talked about for ages. Brighton about to spend 20 million for Adam Webster(Centerback) from Bristol. Think Murray’s goals will dry up this year. Think it’s their year.

MLS All star game. They’re playing Atletico Madrid. Brad Guzan is mic’d up. The fans are screaming ‘fuck you Guzan’ as well as many more obscenities every time he gets the ball. Joao Felix makes it 2-0. Great strike outside the box. Keeper should do better. Felix at it again - Quality ball from midfield into Costa for 3-0.

Its on tv?

How injured is he? I’d have him and Laschelles as my back two. Bruce likes to play a four, right? Watched a comp of Schar’s performances last season and he pops up a lot on the right quite a lot. Him Right back. Yedlin can get fucked, like. Fantasy scenario. Schar in the 6 along side Longstaff, Hayden in front of them. Ritchie and Almiron in the three with Hayden. Nsoki looks good. Very alert, on the front foot.

That Inter shirt is fire.

Trippier played well. Involved in one of the goals. Put in a perfect ball for Lemar to score but he put it over. Joao Felix with a goal and two assists. Played really well.

Did you see Zlatan’s elbow on the LAFC player? Poor guy is going to require facial surgery. Nope was it intentional? They have VAR so i’m assuming if it was he probably didn’t get away with it They didn’t check it but I think it was because it looked a little innocuous but on closer inspection, it seems intentional. He’s also avoided a suspension after a review. Was issued a warning.

It’s gonna be interesting. I think with their size and history, it’ll go well but it could be another Fulham orrrr West Ham who have been in a similar position and now the bastards are on course for safety pretty much every season.

Aye. Would take a small mobile box to boxer over a big static lump like Shelvey. And yeah, clips looked good. He likes to play some nice looking balls. Will he get time and space in the Premier League? Probably not, but it’s appreciated.

That sounds good in theory, but it can be incredibly frustrating when they can't produce decent end product. Dribbling past two players then putting the cross into the stand would get old pretty quick. As would dribbling past two players then losing the ball trying to dribble past the third. I know nothing about Maximin, but he isn't going to succeed in the Premier unless he is better than the descriptions so far. What if the ball deflects off a defender and we win a corner? Matt Ritchie is good at corners. Play to our strengths. And listen, the guy advances the ball. I’m all for that.

Saint Maximin looks alright. He seems to advance the ball at every opportunity. But he’s fallen out with Vieira at Nice. Doesn’t bode well but I want him. Looks fun.

Yay. Whatever. Now we need an Ayoze replacement, and several in midfield. Fullbacks. It’s never going to get done anyway.

It’s like we were doing just fine just getting by. We had a couple houses on the pinks and people were stopping by landing on us. For some unbelievable reason we decided to sell the houses and the pinks for 600 pound, bought water works, a couple train stations and expect to get round the board. We’re fucked.

Gonna be a tougher season for sure with them in the Europa. Their squad isn’t that big.

I think I’d take Elmohamedy over Yedlin. He’s like a poorer version of Antonio Valencia but could be useful. 31. Not as old as I thought. Can’t see Villa letting him go tbh.

Not really, McClaren had a good reputation as a coach and actually won something in his career. Bruce is apparently a nice guy and good man manager, seems to have generally good first years at clubs but other than that his pardew levels of atrocious. Pardew at least came with a reputation for his West Ham and Reading sides playing attacking football. God knows that was obviously no guage of what was to come. I mean we pipped both of them from the Championship when they’re not really doing too well. They’re not exactly on an upturn in their career. McClaren’s last jobs before us were Twente, Nottingham Forest and Derby. Bruce - Hull, Villa and Sheffield Wednesday. They both got Premier League jobs on the back of unsuccessful promotion bids. Playing style I don’t know. McClaren came with a reputation of playing good football but that was some of the worst we’ve ever played. I don’t even know how Bruce plays. I mean I expect us to play a little better than McClaren but who the hell even knows?

Been watching MLS more and more. Supporting DC United for now because of Rooney but once he’s done, probably won’t give a toss although when i was eight years old, I picked them as my American team because they had united in their name so who knows. NYCFC I guess will have to be my local team. The stadium is way up in The Bronx and I’m deep in Queens. It’s like and hour and half journey by public transport. And they play in a fucking baseball stadium. Hopefully I and them move closer together at some point.

Zlatan just with a hattrick in the LA LA derby. LAFC are the best team in the league this season. They’ve got Carlos Vela. And the goals are just ridiculous. Virtuoso stuff. And if you want some build up.

Hope he’s taking this seriously because it’s the biggest job he’s ever had. Right now he’s on some I’m gonna try bullshit. It’s bringing so many Mclaren memories back. I mean the parallels are endless.

Would love that. Available for 18 mil according to past reports. Joelinton is a start. Feel like a fun ambitious signing like Morelos is something we won’t even attempt anymore. That’s probably going to be Palace if they sell Zaha.

Liked when the CL final was on Wednesday.

45 is way too much for Dunk. He’s played two full PL seasons. Irresponsible spending for me. I bet they could get Lovren for like 20 or Tarkowski for 25-30.

Mahrez take a bow. Senegal - Algeria final
