aye carumba!!!

Interesting email this morning (I don’t btw)

MF'dYP

Spot on, they’ve been wanking themselves silly over Real Madrid winning CL after CL with their fucking super team, the wages of Bale, Benzema, and Ronaldo alone would have been eye watering let alone the rest of their team. We’ve had years of Italian sides dominating Europe, years of Spanish sides, what’s the difference if it’s a few years of Premier League dominance? This constant outrage that football was this totally equal game and has now been ruined is laughable, just like the whinging about Man City winning a few titles in a row conveniently ignores the fucking dominance of Manchester United and how they drained the best talents from all other PL sides for yonks. For a long time Barca and Real Madrid enjoyed massive financial advantage over the PL sides since they hoovered up the lions share of TV rights while the PL sides had more of an even split - again something conveniently ignored now the PL sides are getting similar TV revenue despite the more even split across the league.

Well that certainly explains why you know fuck all about football.

Dude trying to be like Fish

Aye everyone talks about Ferguson's 13 titles with complete reverence. Man City win a few and the game needs ripped up and starting all over again.

A self-satisfied chuckle when one Yorkshireman tells another Yorkshireman how great Yorkshire is?

Toonpack's mobile is about to start pinging. Naughty boy.

I thought he was a Liverpool fan? I swear to god these Scouse professional footballers change their boyhood team history at the drop of a hat when it suits them.

I just knew as I scrolled down the page what was coming Well done sir!

Does that make Casey an IDK nonce? I like how the window hasn’t even opened and he’s losing the plot already

I've been supporting for seven decades and this might well be the best season I've experienced. I wouldn't swap it for anything

Yes, I can imagine Levy and the scouse cunts seething that their attempts to hold us back have been superceded on the pitch and even better at their clubs' expense.

I get what you’re saying but this immediate CL qualification will have thrown the club so far forward from a commercial POV, that we’ll be able to skip that anyway because we’ll be able to immediately attract better prospects to round the squad out than we would if not for the qualification.

Oh that's because Manchester United did it organically. Y'know, aside from buying the best players in the league from their rivals like Berbatov, Cantona, Carrick, Cole, Ferdinand, Keane, Lukaku, Maguire, Mata, Rooney, Sheringham, van Persie, Yorke... Or spending inordinate sums of money on foreign stars like Di Maria €75m, Pogba €105m, Sancho €85m, van Nistelrooy €28.5m, Veron €42m. Since the PL began, they've spent over €15m on a player 50 times, spending as an average €40.2m

I think it’s important they realise this. Because they might get a landslide by default because the Tories have fucked up literally everything they’ve touched and made everyone worse off. But if Labour don’t reverse that and take the steps necessary they might be lucky to get two terms. Certainly no more given the way the right wing press will go after then if they smell blood. I disagreed with Rayvin recently over the inference many on here were happy for them to get power by any means. And that’s because there’s a massive difference between discussions about reversing Brexit (fully or partially) being off the table and actively bringing up Brexit and promising you’ll never consider FOM, the CU, SM and so on. I regard the former as depressingly necessary pragmatism and the latter as sheer lunacy.

When tha gets to buy one, get one free!

I remember having the piss taken out of me at school when Leeds won the league. NOT LAUGHING NOW EH???

I assumed it was.

I told you lot that should be a parody site. Also unsure how well it fits in with their stated editorial aim of “promoting the city’s image and profile on the world stage.” Unless they’re agent provocateurs installed by the magedia

I still reckon the McTominay links could be his agent eyeing what would probably be his one big career move. Like I’ve said before you can be ITK but you might be hearing direct from an associate of the player, that Howe wants him, rather than Howe or someone close to Howe.

Lavia off Southampton would be a better shout than McTominay. A 19 year old with ridiculous potential.

When you’re the king you can do what you want

He’s still going Fucking tragic

Ok spreadsheet dudes, this one’s a fuckin doozy

It may have been on here, or somewhere else, but I saw a list of transfers that were adjusted to today’s values, and Shearer’s was way out in front at £222 million. I absolutely expect that we’ll break our own record at some point in the near future.

Just seen this on FB. Not bad. The two trophies belong to the guy who's just been relegated too

We now go direct to Daniel Levy for comment:

If I'm honest I think the way Man City have climbed to the top of the mountain blunts my enthusiasm for their achievements. There's an air of inevitability about it. Could be why Howe's achievements haven't been recognised as well, because of the ownership, there's an air of inevitability of our ascent. Yes, objectively, winning the treble is a phenomenal achievement, but it's diminished by just how far ahead they are of everyone else. Nonetheless regardless of their strength, they've clawed Arsenal back, they've beaten everyone in their path to domestic and continental cup glory, so far. Trouble is, this is the Premier League Manager of the Year. Cup competitions shouldn't really factor into it. It should really just be the manager who contextually performed best in the league, right?

Yeah, he went to Sheff Utd where Dave Basset had ended up . He’s still loved at Leeds, tbf I think that 1990 promotion side all are. He was replaced by Gary Macallister though, not sure why he was too put out by that tbh. But I suppose that sort of humility wouldn’t have got him into Hollywood?

True as I reckon that would be, I really don't want either McTominay. Especially for the money being touted, it would be a fucking stupid deal to make. He's so fucking ordinary, hasn't got the pedigree of Trippier, or the class or potential of Botman//Bruno (as well as being older than both). Big ol' no thanks on that one. We'd be better off raiding the relegated teams for squad players frankly, cause thats all he is capable of being even compared to who we have now, he isn't better than Longstaff.

After Real Madrid and Barcelona have been taking the piss with their wages for decades, this is rank protectionism. Won't our tax rates mean that it's harder for us to offer similar net wages than it is in more loosey goosey countries?

Eddie Howe's Scott McTominay >>>>> Erik Ten Hag's Scott McTominay

Looks like he's a bit upset that actual sports journalists won't talk to him. You heard it here first.

This should be the thread subtitle

Some silly fucker found a 20 year old champions league t shirt in the back of their wardrobe earlier

I assure you he did not.
