That was a monster zit on the side of that spanish lads face

I can confirm this. Bruce definately has a brother.

Just checked and the transfer was announced just before the tournament and he joined just after. So, er.... Hamann?

Cant quite remember the timeline now but Guivarch?

The anti vaxxers are already blaming his collapse on the vaccine forcing Inter to issue a statement to say he hadnt even had the jab, or the virus.

Another classic dutch implosion?

His club wouldnt be able to insure him surely??

Thats a non argument to me. A lot of racists and the easily led can hide behind it. Football has ALWAYS been political. And always will be. Whether its singing the national anthems, the minutes silence for remembrance day or whatever, the bosman ruling, foreign owners, the denied takeovers, the world cup being awarded to certain countries, fans singing certain songs, theres many many examples. If we took the politics out of football, the game would be reduced to kids in the park, jumpers for goalposts etc. But even that would be political, as some of the kids would be going hungry.

This. THIS.

In a weird way, this has made me realise how much i still love this game despite our clubs attempts to hate it.

I know this happens every now and then but when its live, in your living room..... Just awful.

Sponsorship opportunity isnt it. Insigne is 5'4.

It was a privilege just to monitor them.

Winner: France Runner Up: Italy Golden Boot Winner: Mbappe Player of the Tournament: Mbappe Young Player of the Tournament: Donnarumma How far will England get: QF Surprise Team of the Tournament: Denmark First manager to be sacked post tournament: Martinez

Ive no doubt the PR war will be ramped up over the next few weeks.

So, either: 1: the PL were waiting to the settle the Super League nonsense and wave through the takeover... Or: 2: They are all meeting up to call it a day and dissolve everything.

Apparantly the PL is negotiating with the PL to see how much compensation the PL should pay to the PL.

Rough as fuck there

Nah he wouldnt even play those on the pitch at the same time. Wouldnt fit into his 8 at the back philosophy. Unless they became wing backs.....

Makes perfect sense. After 2 or 3 reads

Anyone know if Rafa has been back in the north east since he left?

Lots of ifs and buts here but..... If Rafa is turning other jobs down and waiting for the toon job when the takeover is completed theres no way he would hang about waiting for bruces next 2 in 20. Rafa has (i hope) been told the job is his the second the takeover is completed.
