Transferring the 15% direct in readies?

Not until the latter stages of next season, possibly even not until right up until the CL final is played. Could get a situation where the fifth place team is relying on whichever English team is in a European final, to win. Or something along those lines.

Yep, so we’ll probably have to start wanting the other English teams to perform well in Europe from now on. *Unless of course we’re miles clear of fifth place, then we can mock them from a great height.

Believe Milan was a massive red and white stronghold til 92.

If any other club did it (and some already have on a lesser scale), we’d (rightly) see it as blatant cheating man.

*Makes note for CL draw

With Hutchinson I’m always torn between my instinctive reaction of him being a know-nothing prick, and my considered reaction of him being someone that knows what he’s talking about and actually sees a fairly reasonable amount of European football.

A Google of Carlo Pellegatti suggests he’s very well connected in Milan circles

Not that it matters but I’m intrigued as to why Patrick Bamford is his profile pic?

N-O Zagreb meet up if that happens ?

Absolutely. Bring Ronaldo in on a free giving him half a mill or whatever a week = “spent nothing on forwards”.

Scenes when they swap him for someone else….

Can’t compete with these state-owned clubs….

Man Utd giving Rashford a new contract on £375k p/w. Shows the kind of financial advantages they have over the likes of us, not that it’ll ever get spoken about though.

Apparently the draw for the Second Qualifying round is happening now ?

Burnsie doing a full 180 (shock) after initially ridiculing the obscure guy that was first on it.

Absolutely agree. Would still be floating like fuck though.

Where the fuck is Kev Lawson with some charts that 5% of us understand?

Worth remembering that the season started a week earlier last year

Given it’s been verified by the Italian football ‘expert’ at The Athletic, I’d say so

3 places lower than Fiji in the FIFA rankings. Won one game since 2011. Got to be the worst result in the history of Polish football.

First Qualifying Round drawn today 1pm:

Spurs stadium is the nuts mind. If you’ve been you’ll know it’s far, far more than just a bigger version of Stoke or Wigan. Whether that’s particularly relevant or not to who James Maddison signs for, I’d have my doubts.
