Deuce

More generally, do we overrate attacking players relative to defenders?

Got to see him play for Montreal in his twilight years. Well past his best by that point, but still a delight to watch.

Timely

Watford are a bunch of assholes, but don’t negotiations like this often take place under wraps?

that kind of pettiness could only come from a lower tier club with no fucks to give. Love it.

Pure sex on FIFA.

Would immediately challenge Pep and Arteta for the “Sexiest PL Manager” title.

Salzburg, too.

Berbatov Dempsey ( ) Mousa Dembele (not the first to mention him, but doubling-down) and my spicy hot take! Rooney

That he has 400+ PL appearances is wild.

No surprise that I’ll defend him but he’s got what, 12? goals + assists while mostly coming off the bench this season. Made of glass though. When healthy he makes the starting XI for every PL club save Liverpool and City. Tuchel also likes to play him up top, where he’s wasted. Would probably benefit from a move elsewhere.

Alright do we all feel better having let the id have its say?

It’ll all be water under the bridge when the YewEssEmmEnnTee hoists aloft the Capitol One World Cup, presented by Coca Cola, Trophy.

Kinda like the English re: politics, culture, etc.

It is a bit weird how y’all get all kinds of hot and bothered by Americans in particular being involved in the game. Far more so than any other foreigners.

Fairly certain that none of the resident N-O “fans of U.S. sports” (I won’t say Americans, because the U.S. sports threads are filled with non-Yanks) has ever advocated to scrap promotion-relegation in European football, nor pushed for any significant “Americanization” of the game. It’s quite easy to appreciate both systems. To suggest that American sports are downright boring is just nonsense. That’s exclusively a “you” (to whomever it applies) problem…I’d suggest expanding your horizons.

It’ll be comically stereotypical and I’m gonna love it so much.

I don’t know how much say Boehly has with the Dodgers, but they’re a really well run and consistently competitive team. This feels more like FSG than the Glazers or Kroenke.

Looking forward to the fewm when London gets a permanent NFL franchise and it’s wildly popular with the locals.

Even though we have a couple games in hand, it’s insane that we’re in the top half given how desperately shit we were last fall.

He desperately needs to go on loan for the start of next season and get actual playing time. Same with Turner now he’s off to Arsenal to sit on their bench
