How exactly did we get fucked by the league? Obviously they could have been more transparent and communicated better and clearly they should have actually made a decision. But ultimately isn’t the takeover going through more down to the Saudis themselves rather than the league?
Bruce is way less of a cunt than Pardew. Bruce is better tactically if and his style is more aesthetically pleasing. I’d much rather watch ten men behind the ball than Pardew’s “ give the back to Mike Williamson”, any day. We had some genuine promising players arrive and Pardew somehow managed to make all of them worse. Cabaye was perhaps an exception but only because he put in extra effort for his last half season because he was desperate to get away. Even the good football when we finished fifth was more down to individual brilliance than an actual style or system of play
Not how football works. If and when Messi moves to a new club it'll be a long term, huge contract.
Huge? Yes. Long? Why? Messi himself knows he’s edging towards the end of his career and will likely want to go back to Argentina.
