This brings me to something I've been wondering recently. Why is everything a box set even if it's not in a box set? Surely a purely streaming show would not be considered a box set?

As someone who's watched way too many CONCACAF u20/u23 qualifiers in mostly empty stadiums, the adjustment has been fine. It sucks, but I'll take any form of football at this point

Exactly the type of game they never win

Needs to be tooth related, I think

Of course I turn this off for a meeting and there's 3 goals within minutes

what the hell is football insider

I'm pretty certain most, if not all, of the players links are bullshit, but there's no way they don't have a manager shortlist drawn up. They're not going to tell the press they're replacing the current manager, it helps no one. If there's already a DoF lined up then there's at least a vague idea of a managerial shortlist.

Have been meaning to ask why there are so many Americans in Germany actually. Do the players tend to come from military families? I'm not really sure, it used to mostly be military kids but not anymore. I think it's mostly because they wouldn't get a work permit in the UK, German clubs have thoroughly scouted the US recently, and it's an easier cultural adjustment then Spain or Italy. There's a bunch more playing throughout German academics, too. Disappointing Rayna got hurt and missed this start, would've been a great platform for him.

A few people have said this in regards to the Premier League's large resources, but it was mentioned in a recent book about the early years of the league that today they operate with a pretty small staff in a nondescript office. Not that they don't have access to world-class lawyers who will be handling this, but their operating staff is definitely smaller that you'd think for a league of their stature. Either way, as we've been told by multiple people, following this day-by-day is just going to cause stress. Just have to let it play out and hope for the best.

He gets pretty much everything wrong. Been doing it for years.

I say we have this Paul guy fight the .com lads

If we were a normal club he would've been a useful utility player, but we aren't so he was forced to play way too much. Really enjoyed that interview. We got so little from the club in terms of access around then and it was probably the most likable group since I've been following. Such a disgrace we only bought Anita after finishing 5th

Man, what a wild ride that was.

I said similar 2-3 weeks ago No idea how I'm still following this.

I don't trust people named Tom on principle

I always support Dortmund when they're on but there's too many young Americans in the league to just pick one. So, Dortmund, Schalke, RB Leipzig, and Werder Bremen it is.

Caulkin just said it's still ongoing but there's no red flags. Everything that's come up so far was prepared for but we just have to let it play out. Anything the PL finds requires a response from the buyers, too.

Just as finally accept we're getting rid of Ashley for good Feels like this will just be a delay and nothing that prevents it, but still, fucking annoying. This is exhausting.

That's enough for me to start chilling the champagne

This happening while we're on the verge of a takeover If we do become a side fighting to make the CL/win trophies every season I'd be fine with them being a yo-yo club so we could beat them every few years. Largely, though, I want them to stay where they are forever.

Don't see why Shearer would leave his position right now anyway, he's got it made in a pretty stress-free job. Bring him and Keegan back as ambassadors, maybe do the same for the players like Jonas and make them ambassador in their home country or something. In general just be more open to ex-players working with the club like Liverpool are, they don't even need formal roles. Otherwise, if a former player is good enough in their job and proven they can do it like van der Sar at Ajax, then go for it, but not because they're ex-players, because they've proven they can succeed in a recruiting or DoF role.

It's the dumbest, most nonsensical reason for not restarting. There are actual good arguments those clubs could make, but they chose that. We're in a pandemic ffs, you have to make sacrifices, and not playing in your preferred empty stadium is the smallest sacrifice.

Most respectable sources seem to be saying much the same thing. You don't really need to be ITK to think it's probably going to be next week unless the confidence shown by the buyers is totally misplaced. Or Caulkin has been totally misled, which seems unlikely. He was saying Mid-May weeks ago, fwiw, even when most reports said it would be done before May.

Tbf, RS has been saying this for a while now and if it is announced next week he'll have been spot on. No reason to doubt him any more than the others

I've been following for 13 years, started a few months after Ashley took over. My first game was notably brilliant, though. 2-1 win against Arsenal two springs ago. Couldn't have gone better.
