  1. We've been unlucky not to score more though. Rossi is such a good signing for Levante, you see he's a cut above the rest of the team the moment he gets the ball.
  2. Leicester are the Raiders of the Lost Ark of football. Everything is just in its right place, nothing seems wrong, and it's so entertaining to see them succeed.
  3. The whole team is stale and one-paced. Horrible transfer policy these past few years.
  4. That's when I turn off FM and say it's shit.
  5. Whoa now. Undertaker's 21-1 record at Wrestlemania surely.
  6. I look at this City side, and really I don't know what they are doing with all their money. A bunch of their best players (Toure, Silva) are aging and even though Agüero is entering his prime he's been at the club for quite a while too. The rest of the squad, with a couple of exceptions, seems to be made out of middling players for the level they aim to be at. Then I see who their DoF is and I understand completely.
  7. No I don't think so either, but if one manager can pull it off, it's Pep. Messi idolizes him.
  8. Looks like we're having a Sevilla - Barça cup final. It should be a good match.
  9. Neville is doing a horrible job, but he's just another faulty cog in a terribly dysfunctional system. Valencia are bereft of direction from top to bottom. Unless that direction is just to line up Mendes' pockets.
  10. http://cdn.makeagif.com/media/2-04-2016/-QFWZz.gif
  11. First time Valencia concede seven goals in 22 years. Apparently a few hundred fans showed up at the Valencia airport yesterday and the team had to be escorted out.
  12. Best we've seen us play all season, although Valencia were truly abject. Surely Neville can't survive this?
  13. Reportedly he was unsettled and asked Simeone to be let go. I suspect Evergrande will be paying him some really stupid wages and, being 29, he snapped at the chance. He's been awful for them, so I don't think Cholo gave it much thought, tbf.
  14. http://www.mundodeportivo.com/img/54d86aa0-ca4d-11e5-b755-0e26bfda9688/lowres/atlatico-de-madrid-jackson-martanez-at-madrid-guangzhou-evergrande.jpg At least they have been able to cut their losses. But they seriously lack a goalscorer.
  15. There's ethical issues since Granada are using all the players they get for free to circumvent La Liga's spending limits rules, giving them advantage over their relegation rivals.
  16. Think he meant the midfielder they've signed from France I had missed that one. Yeah, it definitely looks like they are using Watford as their cash cow.
  17. The player was already at Granada on loan from Udinese, so that makes no difference. They just moved him from Udinese's books to Watford's, with that money going to Udinese.
  18. Let me talk to you about Adalberto Peñaranda. Venezuelan 18 year old with just a bunch of youth caps. - In summer 2015, Pozzo-owned Udinese bought this lad for a few pennies from Venezuela. It's loaned out to Pozzo-owned Granada. - In January 2016, Pozzo-owned Watford buys him from Udinese for €10m, that for a lad with 9 senior games in Europe (to his credit, he's looked decent). He is loaned back - again - to Granada. Is it me or is this just massively bent? Seems to me they are using Watford - and their access to massive PL money - to prop up Udinese.
  19. Mounting rumors that Falcao is signing for Atlético.
  20. The Spanish text is actually different (and also complimentary of club and city).
  21. It probably controls his pacemaker and he is afraid of misplacing it.
  22. In stitches with your sigs, man
  23. Dunno why he hasn't left Liverpool already, he's been frozen out for three seasons. I guess he won't get that wage packet anywhere else at this point.
