Spawny fucks, in what world should that be a penalty? Utterly ridiculous rule

Keep it tight if possible, don’t try to control the game and possession, try to break quickly and get the ball to Rashford or Fernandes

Huge gulf in quality here, expecting it to get embarrassing

Will always remember him fondly for being a positive presence and part of the side that kept us up. The transfer could not have worked out better for us given we stayed up and sold him on so quickly. Top man

Very impressive stats given his age especially over those years

Wonder if he’ll be making a return to the stadium of faecal matter. Do they despise him as much as we do though?

Are we getting one of these serious questions for Hendrick? Or is he still a Newcastle player? I’d blocked him out of my mind all this season and now I can’t remember if we loaned him or let him go

First thread of the summer

And people wonder why Refs end up being biased. Imagine going into a game knowing you’re going to get your reputation smeared and verbally/physically abused if you don’t give contentious decisions in favour of the bully. What a fucking cunt Mourinho is. Respect to Anthony Taylor for doing a decent job officiating the shittest game of football in years and then having to deal with that

If it’s incredibly accurate and the AI is a genius then that’s a useful stat but I wonder whether it just goes off hard stats like a ball loss that leads to a goal or something that leads to an assist. Sometimes a player miskicks a ball for example but it ends up working out, I doubt that gets calculated. Also, I wonder how well it accounts for players who take risks etc. I don’t get a hard on over stats in football to be honest

What does on-ball value advantage mean?

Can we all get a copy of this masterpiece?

They’re so comically shit. Happy for them to either get relegated or be a shambles and finish 17th every season. Both are hilarious options

Interesting if so, they did try hard to sign Caicedo in January and Mudryk so they must have some cash. They’re selling Xhaka aren’t they? Not sure if there are many other outgoings planned other than Tierney

Feels like the window is going to be extremely busy for almost all clubs. I imagine Man City might be relatively quiet. Not sure about Arsenal but almost every other club I’d expect to be doing a ton of business

That’s a steal if they’re getting MacAllister for under £60m. He’s a fantastic player and exactly what they need

Never ever watch SPL or Scottish football so can’t comment on it at all other than to say I think it’s extremely difficult to judge how someone will translate success there to the premier league. I hadn’t followed him at all prior to him going to Celtic either. I hear lots of positivity about him but rebuilding a side is one of the toughest things in football, especially for a new manager coming in. I’d be surprised if Spurs finish as high as they did this season

Schär was our best defensive player all season and after Trippier our second best creative player from defence. Botman has a huge future here and he’s only going to get better but that defensive performance across a season from Schar was as good as I’ve ever seen for us really

Incredible quotes, please sir, can I have some more?

This is a perfect summary

Oof, the old retake

Game over

Great save with the legs

Not even a foul that, let alone a yellow

I think during his Real Madrid years it started to turn, against Pep’s Barca. Since Madrid it’s been like this
