I still think Arsenal will win it for the very reasons I've stated in the past. Our win against Palace could easily have gone the other way.

Great game from Nunes. An assist, a pre-assist, and really solid on defense. My MoTM.

Foden and Cherki both... and indeed Reijinders too - are putting in very dangerous crosses. And we've switched up our corner routines to attempt to free Gvardiol b/c Haaland in particular (and I think Dias too) are heavily marked. Our corners are pretty good ATM, IMO.

The better question is... why would any City fan want a statue of Yaya? Yes, a great footballer, but a total ****. Hostile towards our club and manager, demanding excessive wages, and a detriment to team chemistry. Does anyone really want a statue of such a player - no matter how good he was...

Pretty much this. No one is going to buy massively overpriced tickets - prices will come down... way, way down. America is now extremely hostile towards non-Americans. And increasingly so. Non-American fans at US venues for the WC I think will be low. As for England - you've a manager who...

Your feeling might be right. However, consider that: 1) Trump likes strong men - Putin is just his sort of type; 2) Trump has deals in Russia - he's predisposed to favor Russia; 3) Trump has a nose for politics - he doesn't seem to have any particular agenda except that which seems to please...

I sympathize entirely. The video did surprise me (it shouldn't have) though about the US stated policy towards European governments. The policy is to seek regime change - support far right candidates for office while undermining liberal governments; the ideology that emigration is destroying...

Detailed exposition of the United States foreign policy under Trump. This video is thorough, revelatory, disheartening and terrifying - a must watch.

Fair point about Messi walking about the pitch.

We agree to disagree. Cherki came to us with a penchant for showboating - and this is but one example. As Pep remarked, the best player in world football history, never, ever, did this, insofar as Pep can tell. If Cherki can eliminate needless flair from his game he'll be a much better team...

Let me be clear. I'm 100% for giving Cherki free reign to move about the pitch and control games. I'm 100% OK for Cherki to try risky passes as he sees fit, so long as he makes such passes as skillfully as he can with an emphasis on team, on successful completion, and bearing in mind state of...

Fuck off. I'll bet you'd change your tune if Cherki is out for a year because some pissed off opponent broke his leg. Or if we're up 3-1 against the Scum, Cherki tries this sort of thing, it doesn't work, the ball turns over and they score, and now it's 3-2... and the Scum come to life in a...
