Kid Icarus

Christ, a thread gets started for everything these days.

Don't Spurs just not win at Stamford Bridge? I've seen that stretched the limit as well, when Chelsea have been absolutely atrocious, Spurs have been flying and Chelsea have still turned them over for that one match.

Ordered the pro version in XL so my diet needs to be successful now

A lot of similarities with this season. A fantastic start that turned into a middling season with some truly great moments, a few great European nights, injuries, and us relying on individual talent to get us over the finish line with a team otherwise knackered. Hopefully 24/25 follows the pattern.

I cannot bear a team like this being this successful like.

He was really good. Very good, direct and technical dribbler, but not always clinical in front of goal. When he went to Real Madrid there was a bit of a 'him?' reaction from most people I think, but he did very well IIRC and scored a cracker in the Champions League final.

How many do Bayern need to win by to make you believe they'll win over both legs? I'm going with 5-0. Anything less and Real Madrid will somehow win I reckon.

Adidas's potential kits for this season look absolutely honking across the board tbh. What a time to switch.

They can't be any worse than Simarc. It's in the Council's interests for the club to extend the lease.

Why on earth would the lease not be agreed though?

This just a hunch or have you heard something?

Great news

Yeah, nothing particularly groundbreaking.

Kevin Maguire is currently on Loaded Mag talking about it.

I think this was when he thought it was going to replace the existing rules, rather than run alongside them.

From what I'm reading, at the moment this is something that is a non-event for us directly, but it is in the sense that it hinders the sky 6 and theoretically stops them pulling away further.

I've immediately changed my mind. He probably would be good as cover.

It couldn't be any other way, if you get in the CL you need to be hitting 70%. It's the related parties rules that potentially change things.

Don't get the clamouring for Mbeumo at all tbh. He plays in that position, but doesn't suit how we play at all, he's more like a CF that plays at RW.

The regs themselves apparently. The bottom section: It ALSO opens up the opportunity for EPL to relax related-party deals... as hard cap x4.5/5 times of central broadcast revenues distribution creates an upper limit that doesn't stop investment, just market-distorting investments.

Will be interesting to see just how much the 3rd party rules are relaxed to go alongside this.

If it doesn't happen we're fucked I think, it would mean that we'd have a lower turnover to wages ratio without being able to generate a higher amount of related-party revenue.

I can't see it working, but I think it's definitely an interesting move to make and sort of forces those clubs to show their hand.

The same people were terrible under Wenger at the end as well. They've been largely ignorable imo, but ever since our 0-0 last season and especially Gordon's goal against them this season their online fans have gone out of their way to make sure everyone knows they're the weirdest cunts going.

I would say the view comes from Arsenal's online fans being by far the worst. Way, way worse than anyone else in the league by quite some distance. It shouldn't tarnish them all with the same brush, but if you want to be specific about it you can and just say that Arsenal's online fans are the worst in the league, and they are.
