Perhaps it is low, perhaps not. The evidence suggests that the current offer is a fair offer. To say that he is worth as much as proven UCL and International forwards like Gabriel Jesus and Raheem Sterling is a massive stretch. Sterling has 75+ caps for England and Jesus has 50+ for Brazil and...

It’s been reported by the Athletic that City’s leadership think Palmer can be better than Ferran Torres. I’m sure getting him some quality minutes this season is part of the plan; especially if both Jesus and Sterling leave.

For me, this debate starts with the following question: Before the season begins, would you rather play in the UCL or Europa League? Nobody in their right mind would prefer to play in the latter. Secondly, would you rather advance to UCL knockouts or be relegated to Europa? Obviously the UCL...

I think so too. I think he knows what to do with Chelsea. Regarding the best interest of the club, there are two sides to that coin. I am sure there were terms upon which Sergio could stay, however Sergio did not find them amenable. It is what it is. He still thinks he has the wherewithal to...

Chelsea have the most talented squad of those named. Their manager is also pretty solid. Dippers have the best coach and a very strong starting XI if healthy. Rags have a mediocre coach and a bunch of talent but it isn’t very complementary.

If anything the ploy was to win yesterday with 9/10 different outfield players than what we played vs PSG; and it almost happened. What does Chelsea do then? They are in a dog fight for UCL next season, they got beat by our second eleven and we already wrapped up the league and can rest our...

This thread is 220+ pages of LOL. This game will be meaningless in the end. Next month when the Euros start and we are basking in the afterglow of a treble and the club’s first UCL trophy while making fun of the rags for being 33/34th in Europe and finishing behind city in the league for the 8th...

Good job this year. 33rd/34th best team in Europe is quite the achievement. Am I missing anything else?

Rags will always be “decent.” Theyve spent nearly £1 billion on that squad, that is bound to get you results. Paul Pogba is the perfect player manifestation of them. He can be world class some days, but most of the time he wither doesn’t show up, is too lazy to try or is just average. Still...

They will need to punt cup competitions because they have no depth; especially when olde man cavani fucks off back to uruguay. The main reason I do not want them to win the 33rd best team in Europe Cup is because it puts them into pot 1 for next year’s UCL draw. They are stuck with...

Good point!

I always thought Jesus had become the high pressing striker you brought on to preserve a lead, not the striker you started to get the lead.

How could anyone think we are going to lose? The only players on that team I’d want are Mbappe and Neymar; and Neymar is a ****.

Would be more fun to lift our first chumps league trophy at the swamp tbh

College football formed the Power 5 (Big Ten, SEC, ACC, Pac-12 & Big 12) and since then, every single participant in the college football playoff has been from those conferences. There is now talk of reducing it to 4 conferences and making a bigger playoff. This is the exact dynamic Europe has...

College (American) football does and is the American sport closest to football in Europe. Its is the formation of teams and leagues established in the late 19th century around organizations that have tethered fan support via institutional association. Although it does not have...

Why do these “elite clubs” need to be the participants in the definitive continental championship tournament? From a consumer’s perspective, does it really matter which kit these players where? Quality is quality and people will watch a high quality product, regardless of who makes it. Nobody...

Are the English announcers cunting it up like they are here in the states? ESPN twat saying “Laporte should've been sent off in the first half!!!”

At the end of the day, the Spanish clubs might but I suspect that Spain will bail them out before it gets to that point. Spuds is a real possibility too.

You mean real world like when the entirety of English sides was banned from continental competition for an indeterminate period before being allowed back 5 years later? All because of the actions of one clubs fans, not even the owners or club itself. The footballing world will be fine if owners...
