Ronaldo has been benched.

Despite have several players who have suffered from COVID

Tuchel has had a stellar record since he was appointed, and won the Champions League last year, these two games are a blip, more then the rule. Can't really compare them to Ole like

Lets not be mistaken, there are no good guys in this situation. There are bad guys and bad guys. Just a bunch of rich people that are throwing a public tantrum at each other, that have no idea how to even relate to the fans that each of them claim to have the best interests of. Mike Ashley is an utter tosser that has somehow over the last 18 months put himself in a position where, in the press and in the eyes of some fans he is the good guy. He has treated the entirety of this club with utter distain for 13 years, done the exact opposite of what was right for the club at every turn, and antagonised us fans at every corner. He's an asshole and should have no support with anyone associated with the club, now or in the future when we're finally rid of him. While I obviously want this takeover to go through, I do have serious misgivings about the Saudis owning the club, there human rights record is abhorrent, they're corrupt and just "get rid" of people that have a different opinion to the state. We'd be used as a vessel to improve their image Worldwide to billions of people, and that doesn't sit right in the stomach. If at the very beginning of this whole situation that was the reason the Premier League rejected it, i'd actually be in support of it. Money isn't the only thing worth something in this world and If we where just bought by some other random rich guy, that only had the money to get us in that 10th to 7th region, but we'd actually try and do things the right way, I'd probably prefer that then the Saudi state owning us. It actually makes me a bit of a hypocrite as I know full well, I'll be cheering every goal that goes in should the takeover go through, and probably not even give an iota of care if we ever won anything. The human rights record wasn't the reason though, and in a world where it's very clear the Premier League have been corrupt at every turn, have treated the club and fans with utter contempt, and are clearly influenced by an elite minority. This whole process has shown how fit for purpose they are, that being not at all, so it's going to a sweet day when/ if the takeover goes though, and they can quite frankly get fucked.

We always knew that right? It tends to be a few weeks after the hearing takes place a decision gets announced.

Apparently there have been at time thousands watching the hearing.

Lewis just got told "That seems a bit far fetched"

De Marco has a slight smile on his face since the restart.

Apparently only 7 Premier League clubs have a player vaccination rate greater then 50%.

What was said?

Is this Jowell the one acting on behalf is SJ Holdings?

Bruce has actually kind of given me a slight bit of respect for Pardew. Like Pardew was a prick, but he knew he was and went along as such. Bruce is a prick but thinks he's a saint, and always plays the victim. Somehow the first one is more palatable to stomach.

Just switched this on, has it been this boring for the last 2 hours?

That Bologna kit is lush, as is the Sampdoria away kit tbh. You considered an old Fiorentina kit they're have a ridiculous backlog of amazing shirts.

Incredible this

Imagine getting paid that amount to be absolutely shite at you job

Given where these two where after 3 games, its been some turnaround in fortunes for both of them.

Class break that.

Arsenal have looked decent here tbh, deserved that goal. Tottenham have looked shite here tbh, deserved that goal.

By all accounts it's actually doing better then ever, it got its highest ever viewership the other week. I generally like Shearers analysis, although his reluctance to criticize Bruce is a bit weird, although that said, not sure if I'd ever want to slate a mate on national TV.

Saw that kid on BBC Breakfast the other day, was a proper moment:

Lose this and I honestly can't see us winning until December.
