Looks like the splash you get when you drop a massive one into the bog.

I don't jump. I dive with the grace and elegance of a swallow.

Hideous boondoggle that will waste millions of taxpayer pounds on a monument to past glories and current mediocrity. Have they named it yet? Maybe they can call it the Sir Jim Ratcliffe Monorail Stadium. 

[Monkeys Fist 45190]

They should call it the Summit Stadium as it’s all downhill from there. 

[Craig 6820]

Ratcliffe has already labelled it "New Trafford" by all accounts. FFS

It better not cost a taxpayer penny, let alone millions of quid

"Normally, if you were building a 100,000-seater stadium from the ground up, in an area that needs to be regenerated, it's a 10-year project. But if we get going with the government then I think it's a five-year project, not a 10-year project," said Ratcliffe.

Watching Ratcliff on tv does feel nearly as good as this. A cunt totally getting shown up.

I honestly want to heave man, gonna benefit the ENTIRE north of england by all accounts. 

 

 

Well the 'Ashington reds' will be happy anyway, still waiting to hear the Bilbao black cats reaction but I'm hearing they're a bit disappointed as they supplied the red devils first away kits when they were Newton Heath, (but they didn't want to make a fuss about the shirts, it was nowt, really. Honestly, don't even mention it, they've forgotten about it already).

🇮🇹🗣️ Fabio Capello says Pep Guardiola has 'done a lot of harm to football' 😳

"You know what I don’t like about Guardiola? His arrogance. The Champions League he won with City is the only one where he didn’t try anything funny in the decisive matches." 

"But all the other years, in Manchester and Munich, on key days, he always wanted to be the protagonist. He would change things and invent them so he could say: ‘It’s not the players who win, it’s me’. And that arrogance cost him several Champions Leagues. I respect him, but for me, it’s clear." 

"Besides, even if it is no longer his fault, he has done a lot of harm to football. Because everyone spent ten years trying to copy him." 

"It ruined Italian football, which lost its nature. I said: 'Stop, you don't have Guardiola's players'! There was also the absurd idea that that was all there was to do to play well." 

"A disaster and also a boredom that made many people flee from football, they only have to watch the highlights, why are you going to watch 90 minutes of passes and horizontal passes without fighting, without running...?" 

"Fortunately, football is changing. First of all, Spain changed it by winning the European Championship with two wingers and playing fast." (El Mundo via GOAL)

[Gemmill 50033]

Well said, Fabio. I don't know about the stuff about him wanting to be the protagonist, but his football is boring as fuck to watch.

That's a very interesting perspective. Not sure how true it is. But it does have a ring of truth to it.
