    I loved alot of things about Ange as a coach but one of them was how much he talked about signing 'good people, not just good players'. He genuinely thought the benefit to squad morale/cohesion etc was worth any slight trade off in quality but it had the added benefit of making supporting the team way easier. How do you support a team with rapists in it? Must take the joy out of everything as a fan

    I guess you have to know in advance. A lot of these tatted up South Americans look straight out of central casting. I never would have signed Bobby Firmino if we followed normal rules. Looks like an lower level Honduran gangbanger. Same with DiMaria. Cartel stuff.

    They say Wilkinson sling Cantona out of Leeds because he was carrying on with players wives. The sort of cunt mentality that would have been right at home at that version of United.

    Ferguson punished drinking because it affected performance. But he let a lot of shit slide provided he kept getting the 3 points.
    Takes of spitroasts, gangbangs, spousal abuse, utter treachery from Rooney/Stretford etc.

    Yeah I suppose its just informed guess work but he had a good hit rate. Jota was some sort of enlightened being and the first time kyogo got subbed he did a litter pick along the touchline as he came off

    With rodgers normal service of huffy wankers will probably resume

    Didnt know about Cantona shagging other players wives thats hilarious:Jest:

    Wilkinson denied it. But they sold their best player to their biggest rival for small money and no obvious explanation other than that they wanted shut of him.

    I just read this and haven't fact checked it yet.

    In 2020 Chelsea turned down a bid of £70 million from Bayern to buy Hudson-Odoi (it was a loan with option to buy deal.) In 2023 they sold Hudson-Odoi to Nottingham Forest for £3 million.

    That is correct, I thought it was closer to 50 million but it is the first thing I thought of when I head he'd been sold. How ridiculous is that.

    Oddly enough somehow i ended up seeing some highlights of a CL match between Bayern and Chelsea the other day. He scored a goal in the one match and the announcers mentioned something along the lines of "You see why Bayern Munich are interest in him".

    It makes me wonder about steroid use in football. I would figure it's as prevalent as other major team sports but it's not all that often you hear about getting guys getting caught even though there's way more pro football players than any other sport by miles. Is the testing just weaker or is it something else?

    Seriously.....a lot of noise has come out of Italy on this.

    The most infamous cases were Edgar David's and Fronk deBoer

    Of course the most celebrated case -literally and metaphorically - in England was that of Rio Ferdinand who skipped a test he knew he'd fail and got like 8 months ban.

    I know it's a friendly but Foden really is a fantastic player. Can't believe that twat Southgate doesn't even want to play him in midfield, the guy needs to go.

    We found someone stupid enough to take Maupay on loan. And not only that, Brentford wanted an option to buy him back.

    And now a group out of Miami is close to buying Everton.

    They own stakes in Hertha Berlin, Sevilla, Genoa, Red Star (France.)

    Some are saying all if their clubs have gone downhill after they bought them. Well, that's comforting.

    Ouch yeah. Other than Sevilla, when was the last time any of the other clubs won anything? Hertha is a weird one. Major football country and the capital city's team has sucked since forever.

    As long as they make a profit however they go about it and regardless of what happens to the club, we should celebrate it. To do anything otherwise would be communist.
