If he believes that Rashford is better than Mbappe, I wonder howfucking good Jesus is.

Better than Mbappe.

I always have a quiet chuckle when I see Philbo scything down that Romanian in the dying seconds of a Euro or WC game!

Romelu Lukaku he's got a little willy
when they sang their song they got it wrong
And now they're feeling silly.

 

[its grim up north]

let's hope so.

Will still get 18.7M euros from the group, plus 1.5M euros a point, so 35M euros quite probably.

Market pool 3 seasons ago was 22M roughly for the 3rd place team.

As a percentage of his transfer fee, that's how much Lukakus' cock was, allegedly!

Unsurprising these days but picked for tv again.

Because everybody wants to watch Swansea vs these ****s!

Didn't think it was humanly possible but I detest these red maggots even more today for no particular reason.

It says market pool, not prize pool.

Money is:
(a) 'prize money' for winning/drawing/progressing - 12.7M euros for making the group to start with.
(b) market pool share, - split 40/30/20/10 between the top 4 - this is the market pool, a %age share of cash based on the relative TV deals

City get 20% of the market pool for finishing 3rd.

I thought that if a Scottish club made the group stages then the pool money was split five ways

Couldn't say for certain, but I don't think so - they're from a different participating country, although I can see why Scotland/England split might be awkward.

This is because they exist.
There is nothing wrong with hating them more today than you did yesterday.
It is a perfectly natural thing to do, even if a little energy sapping.

Why and no.

Took me a bit to find it, but from Forbes

In the case of the UK, Celtic of Scotland is lumped together with teams from the Premier League and receives 10% of the UK market pool.

Fair enough. I haven't found anything definitive in UEFA's name that contradicts that.

I watch this after seeing/hearing him and it cheers me up.

Carlos was simply showing the gargoyle what it’s like to be on the receiving end of a tackle by pig ginger.

I'm just waiting for Rashford to have his John Lennon moment and say he's better than Jesus
