Brazil are deliberately smashing De Paul in the face

Massive heatwave in Brazil at the moment so thats probably not helping.

Tuned in for this - is it a late start or has something happened?

And his agent.

15m might be worth a gamble though. If it doesnt work out we should be able to get our money back.

I think we are buying a new starting 11 in January.

May as well start a thread then...

Inzaghi?

Has anyone got any stats on how far players actually run during a week? I know we get the distance covered in games played and some players cover what must be a half marathon or thereabouts. But what about distance covered in training or in the gym? Warm ups and warm downs? Over the course of a week, how much would this all add up to? A full marathon? More? Also, theres the mental strain of concentration and pressure, especially during matches. And the traveling - we have some big lads in our squad. Are they comfortable when traveling? And then to add to all of the above, your manager asks you to press the opponent relentlessly. Is it any wonder theyre knackered?

Call sign EZE

Can we not announce that the whole squad is riddled with covid or something and have a nice 8 week break?

What in the universal credit did I just watch?

Ben Arfa regen?

Have they tried putting some ice on it?

Narrow win for us i think.

Fucking hell Harry Kane

Cat scratch?

Its been said before that hes not especially skillful or blessed with amazing technique, he's not known for providing assists and hes not much of a great tackler. Hes the sort of player who is appreciated more by the manager than by the fans due to his workrate as this means hes an extra man on the pitch depending on where the passage of play is. He can play wide in attack and in defense as well as in central areas from box to box. Its like hes a roaming pivot - that sounds a bit crap written down but its about as close a description as I can come up with.

Surely all the cloob have to do is ask Sandro if Milan knew owt about it. His reply: Sì signore, ho detto loro che il mio debito di scommessa era così alto che stava per lasciare l'atmosfera

I love Murphys reactions when he scores. He looks like a young bairn whose nana has said he can have the last piece of sponge cake.
