Eh? They've just scored a 97th minute winner for a game they'd have left at 4am to watch. They not allowed to celebrate like? Did I say they weren't allowed to celebrate? This "omg they're celebrating like they've won the world cup!!" is the absolute worst craic imagineable though. As if they're supposed to tone down how much they enjoy a last minute winner.

He is finished.

Remy is completely done these days. This window is descending into the standard farce stage.

You are allowed two loans from one club.

Leipzig are tinpot and he doesn't even get a game. Not gonna improve if you don't play.

Yes they are perennially skint and are currently constructing a new stadium at the cost of 55 million euros.

Hmmm

Said beforehand but it looked like a protest XI for me. Stretching the politics out into our cup competitions now. He's pissed me off with the Huddersfield game and this one. We all know things happening aren't good enough, but you have to get on with it and instill some positivity in our games. At the moment he's just making things worse.

First time we've gone out at this stage in 27 years apparently. Fucking piss poor however you want to cook it.

How did he make a pigs ear of the game against Spurs exactly? Was negative shite from minute 1.

Rafa has made a pigs fucking ear of the first 3 games, regardless of how much he's been pissed on from a height this summer.

To be fair you can't spend all summer ostracizing players then throw them into a team together and expect anything other than shite.

There's a difference between not renewing his contract, as De Laurentiis has said, and selling him right now. Their backups are poor, and he's cruicial to the way they play from the back. Selling him without a replacement would be sabotaging a potential title challenge.

No he's not. He's not moving unless they can get a genuine replacement. There might be movement now, but it was always gonna be on ice during the CL qualifiers.

I heard he was leaving from an extremely direct source about a week ago. They also said the club were lining up Shearer as replacement mind, so I wrote it off as drivel.

Bad blow.

You don't think he'd let Riviere leave? He hasn't even been given a number FFS.

De Jong is not even making our shitheap of a matchday squad. He's nothing but a burden, if shifting him opens up even the chance of a new signing then it's happy days.

Napoli have produced one of the most once sided 2 leg ties I've ever seen in these two games. Should have about 8 or 9 rather than 3.

Kazakhstan isn't your standard Eastern European country (it's in central Asia for a start) in that it's oil and gas rich, and has had the same leader since 1989. Astana are owned by what is essentially the country's sovereign wealth fund, and the team is president Nazarbayev's pet project. Even the city of Astana itself is his own idea, being made the capital in 1994 and built largely from scratch.

Praet was a poor performer for Sampdoria last season considering the money spent. I think there is a reasonable chance they'll take getting their money back so there is probably something in it. He can be our De Roon for our Middlesbrough 16/17 tribute act we are putting together.
