Looked on Sad Cafe to see the fan reaction to the bids. Saw this interesting take on the Barca ref payment issue. So this one is clearly on Pep!!!

(1/9) Is this football’s darkest hour ever? It has been confirmed that Barcelona have paid the VP of the Referring Committee almost €7,000,000 (during a period covering Pep’s 5 year coaching stint for Barca). For “advice on referees”. https://yardbarker.com/soccer/articles/amp/caso_negreira_joan_laporta_under_the_microscope_as_barcelona_start_investigation/s1_15980_38480843

Catterall on Talkshite is a Blackburn fan with a soft spot for us. His topic to get the phones ringing. "Have Arsenal bottled it?"

Treating the rags PR circus with the respect it deserves. Give him a pay rise.

Pre game.
Arsenal are amazing, City are poor and can be got at. Arsenal have spent well in January, City are in transition and not spending this season. Arsenal will blow City away. Haaland is poor in big games. Arsenal should fear no one.
Post Game
How can anyone compete with the financially doped oil cheats. Why didn’t Ederson go to jail for attempted murder?

Has Ian Ladyman been kidnapped by scousers ?? I hope he’s alright

He writes a truly bizarre paragraph in today’s mail so odd you’d think it was a jokey wind up …… “here is one thing I am sure of, Darwin Nunez is set to become a superstar at Liverpool and barring injury will score more than 20 PL goals next season”

Where the fuck did that come from

Translation : "Here is one thing I'm sure of, a striker signed on an extortionate transfer fee getting paid hundreds of thousands of pounds per week should just about manage 20 goals in a 38 game season providing he doesn't get injured."

It’s ian ladyman. The man is the still-warm skidmark on the soiled y-fronts of football journalism.

But what will he do when he gets bored? I hear no-one ask.

I tell you what he will do. He will have to sell at a loss because he will be over-paying for the purchase. The very definition of a vanity project,

BBC fawning over utds takeover bids. Headline news apparently. Yawn. No mention of the huge amounts of money the Glazers have spent and just very a small mention about the Qatari human rights record and LGBT stance. Nothing to see here. Lol

Yeah, just saw that. I’m trying to avoid it, but every bulletin and even beyond that it’s getting covered. Esp when they admitted it wasn’t even a proper meaningful deadline last night anyway, it’s all a bit farcical.
