And of course we have since sucked. That teaches me.

Spain football news of the day is that - to the surprise of no one - the Spanish FA has elected another crook as president. It's a requirement for the job.

Fuckers just won't let it go...

Real Madrid feel breakaway from Uefa ‘more pressing’ than ever

 

In summary - state owned clubs must be stopped, and Real Madrid and the other super clubs must be allowed to control broadcast income.

I’ve got a 14 year old son - I’d say that kid is at least 15. Nufc cap it off at 12 which is sensible. 
 

however old the lad is he’s gonna get ripped at school off his mates

Had a quick look and Chelsea's website reckons 12 is their limit too... So either the boy is well ahead of schedule or some despot is helping out their PSR balance. 

 

The hair is the cherry on the cake, just in case you might've noticed Cole behind him

Get that kid on the basketball court

What a signing.

There’ll be some loophole where they can spend that £80m again without getting anywhere near a PSR breach.

Tried finding some speed measurements to see how much his confidence holds up, it did  Based on the little available info I could find, given that the PL for instance didn't start tracking km/h top speed statistics before the 21/22 season – his average pace, based from recorded pre-season 100m dashes at Inter Milan and NUFC, would be somewhere between 36km/h and 38km/h. If we were to do as the question posed to Martins says and judge "Prime Obafemi Martins", a speed of 38km/h would make him the fastest PL player today by 0.4km/h

 

Loved Martins, also love that his son (also a footballer, playing for Monza in the Serie A) was named "Kevin" and goes by the nickname "King Kev  Adding to that already fun fact, his uncle is none other than this guy:

£80m spent, but they can afford 10 of those type of flops.

 

Edit: didn't see Simas post.

Can’t think of another transfer of that size where the player has contributed virtually nothing.

 

*even Antony has done a little bit

Feels like Italians very rarely cut it in Premier League. Can only think of Jorginho and Pellè who has been good/great since like 2010, but I might have forgotten someone obvious? 

 

Edit: Tonali and Balotelli should've been mentioned

 

 

 

I know it's before 2010 but Zola and Di Matteo. Great players!

[Yorkie]

Absolute banter that this can happen to Chelsea and it won't remotely impact their ability to invest and continue their title charge; meanwhile us signing quality backup wingers is apparently something to be criticised as a poor use of funds. Great system.

Chelsea doubtless spiked him so they could cancel his contract.

Boycotting the matches against Israel in the WC Qualifiers, if FIFA do not ban them, has been getting more and more traction in Norway in the last couple of days. First move by the FA will be to push members of FIFA into banning Israel like they banned Russia. If that doesn't work, Norwegian clubs will vote for the Norwegian FA to have to boycott the matches. Looking like we're not going to the next WC either, by our own choice... Norway absolutely hates qualifying for international tournaments, apparently  

 

Have to say that one of the headlines I've seen recently actually got me kinda onboard with the idea of a boycott, though; Can we really play Israel while their bombs fall over Gaza? The only answer is; "No".

 

Ah well, not like we stand a chance qualifying anyway as long as Solbakken remains manager, might as well try to do something political
