Man-U don't have anything to worry about from a FFP perspective 

If their budget is low it will be due to the Glazers 

However, once their takeover goes through they'll no doubt flex their financial muscle 

Leon Edwards has been useless in goal

They won the treble two seasons prior. They were definitely one of the best sides in the world.

No they didn't, they did the double

They were a good side but Pep created the best side that's played the game (at least certainly in the time I've been following football)

This must number the first time Tommy Fury has ever played football

I presume you can get it with just the Champions League badge and not the foundation bit below?

Overall as a Manager - Pep

Overall as a Coach - Pep

As a PL Manager - Fergie

No they didn't 'have' to cheat - they chose to.  We'll win the CL in time but we'll do it the right way.

Let's be honest, both Noon and Sela deals happened because of who our owners are

Yes, the deals on the face of it seem reasonable but our owners will no doubt be looking at as many ways possible to push as much revenue into the club

If you genuinely think that's organic revenue then I admire you living in bliss

As it happens, I couldn't care less that this will happen, other clubs have had vast sums of money spent, I'd rather join them than be left behind 

As others have said we've already been accused of cheating our way to top 4 so if/when we win something they'll say the same

Poor game, City have been flat and clearly playing with nerves

Convinced Inter will win this now

"our treble" 

I wanted City to win anyway but seeing that makes it even moreso

Is anyone giving inter a chance tonight? bit shit waiting to 8 pm and i don't think i can be even arsed watching the cheats win it

It's a slim chance but they definitely have a chance

They just need to avoid conceding an early goal, then hope the pressure of City needing to win the CL and doing the treble causes them to panic

Also I like him but I don't like the idea of having both starting CBs being left footed.

Same but strangely I have less an issue if we had two right footed CB's

Though, Left/Right combo is best

120M double bid for Dom Slob and Josko Gvardy thank you very much.

Gvardiol alone will go for around £100m

Premier League = Champions League 

Europa=FA

League Cup = Conference League

 

In my mind.

 

Winning the CL without winning the PL with the same squad seems weird and devalues it somehow... just in my mind of course. However winning the PL multiple times and not winning the CL with a certain squad had its own mini asterix.

 

It's all personal preference TBH. Would shag me dead granny for a League Cup.

I don't necessarily disagree with this, there isn't generally much between them but if you had to separate them in a list I was interested to see what people would go with

European Cup

Premier League

UEFA Cup

FA Cup

Conference League

League Cup

 

The traditionalist in me wants to place the FA Cup much higher, but it’s been damaged badly over previous decades. 
 

I’m astonished by the numbers on here who’d take a PL win over the European Cup.  I would swap five league titles for one European Cup

 

 

 

I can understand City picking CL over the League, maybe even some other clubs 

Obviously we'd take anything at this moment but in this hypothetical scenario the PL easily over the CL for me 

Across 38 games there is very little doubt you are the best team but when it comes to the CL the best team doesn't always win, Chelsea weren't even the best team in England when they won it 

In order of winning preference would we agree it's like this

Premier League 

Champions League 

FA Cup

Europa League

League Cup 

Europa Conference

Somebody  please explain to me - not watched the game and just switched on and tuned in here, why’s everyone happy an English team getting beat?

Why is them being an English side relevant?

I suspect a lot of it is due to their fans being scumbags 

Don't want West Ham to win but that is a penalty like 

Oh dear, that dive from Benrahma, absolutely no need

Anyone fancy Walker-Peters as fullback can play both sides bags of pace and ability? Decent age aswell. 

He would be a good replacement for Manquillo

That was a blatant foul on Antonio, ref doesn't seem keen on giving them anything

I was very disappointed when Messi left Barcelona. I know they were in a bit of financial trouble at the time and couldn't afford his wages but it would have been nice if he offered a reduction in salary to help the club out and show some loyalty after the years he had been there. PSG was 100% about money as is his latest move

He did offer a reduction, to the maximum allowed which was half 

Ultimately Barca were in a financial shit show and struggled to even register other players at the time 

His PSG move was about doing what was best for his World Cup ambitions 

And his latest move will be partly motivated by money but the Saudi offer dwarfs it yet he didn't pick that

Didn’t he agree to lower his salary to still play for Barca in 2021, but La Liga wouldn’t let them register him? 
 

 

Aye, plus if it was simply money surely he would choose Saudi as the offer he has is ridiculous

Cruyff discusses the inverted fb here. It’s been around for yonks.  
 

Pep did it with Delph, Zinchenko and Cancelo.  How could Pep he copying Klopp?

 

Stones isn’t playing FB in any phase of play.  He’s a CB who pushes into midfield.  Ake or Akanji play left back and Walker right back. 

Has anyone suggested this?

He's just gutted that the Saudi money is spreading in more and more places, going to be harder for him to continue being a prick towards our fans
