Thumb heed plane nonce weighing in with his opinion on the flag

It's worth it purely for the boiled yer da piss.

Ticking time bomb this. Fuck off Mike Ashley.

It's fucking embarrassing that we're offering him a new deal.

This was inevitable.

Not just some club, Tiote's club, he's replacing that foreign player slot

Tarra. Interesting to see what's going on with that fella coming in and Carr being booted out. Hope Rafa is involved in these moves.

Hosting an U-21 tournament every 4 years would be absurd like.

Last U21 Euros was 2 years ago, not 4.

English is the official language of Ghana. Most of the population speak it to varying degrees.

Unless the VAR can be reduced to near-instant like goal-line it absolutely shouldn't be used to review goals. So fucking bad.

The article states that Samu Saiz is joining Eibar.

Fuck VAR

Depiction of Russia as some horrific hellscape is such absurd sensationalism. It's only visa restrictions and an extra couple of flight hours stopping them being visited in the same way lots of the new EU countries are. Moscow and St Petersburg are class, and a lot of the smaller cities look worth a visit - none of them being particularly far east other than Yekaterinburg. Weather will be scorching that time of the year as well.

It's important to realize how things have changed when considering any Chinese owners. Chinese investment and ownership of European clubs is not strictly just private investors out for their own interests or capital gains, as has been the case in the past, and so it's not necessarily worth directly comparing to past cases and examples. It's now a concerted government effort for soft power using the football industry as a vehicle, orchestrated from the very top of the Chinese government. The purchases of both the Milan clubs and a percentage share of Man City are the most notable examples of this. It'll only become more clear what kind of investment this is when we actually find out who they are.

Equally could end up being a machine for capital flight. but whatever bring it on I'm willing to roll the dice. Poundshop cunt has had 10 years. Fuck him off.

Chinese ownership of European football clubs is the same as their investment in the CSL. It's soft power, government driven via Chinese companies. We'll likely be a pawn in some plan for global dominance, but if it means we get lots of delicious yuan to spend then bring it on.

Lovely. Hope they are disgustingly rich on the ill gotten gains of people's party oligarchy.

Mendes will be absolutely tugging himself if Milan and Inter are starting to spend again.

Fantastic player to watch.

Why is that a shame? It's the same for any youth national side, that not all will go on to have exceptional careers. U-20 is a lesser tournament to U19 and U21 due to timing so it's even more likely to be the case. If we get a few full internationals out of that lot it will be a good haul.

Bleak

Absolutely embarrassing this, man.

Rafa's lost the plot.

Freak and a weirdo, actually.
