Gerd Muller was one of my favourite non City players..he was dynamite

Mustard.

Just shows the ignorance in the media with not realising they have spent very close to us on transfers and wages

Nah they haven’t. Net spend levelling up now but in total we’ve outplayed more. But in football, as the rags are showing, it’s not what you spend but how you spend it

Allez le Nantes..

Been to a couple of games there and never seen so many fit women at footy.

Was at Nantes last week for match against Toulouse, really entertaining game and like you say some lovely ladies. And at €75 for 7 of us, a bargain

I reckon mbappe is shit

You’re that witch doctor aren’t you?

the one rule that gets my back up is excessively shielding the ball so it goes out for a goal kick.
happy for someone to explain what's wrong with my long held view that if a guy is shielding it then it should be considered in his possession, and a corner given. Otherwise i don't see why it isn't obstruction. It would force defenders to play the ball or risk a corner. Keeping the game moving.
sometimes the shielding is outrageous.

Particularly the kind of 'shielding' that got Cancelo an elbow across the jaw last week.....

Alleged links to parisian gangsters.

Basically he's the French Steve Gerrard.

I can understand it when the shielding is one yard from the goal line but someone of this is going on for 7 or 8 yards away. It looks ridiculous and the attacker usually get penalised if he leans on the defender who surprise surprise falls over with flailing arms and pleasing looks at the referee.

Ahem pleading looks at the referee!

Part of the protocol after the death of a monarch is suspension of sporting events for nine days. The EPL are yet to announce whether fixtures are suspended for this period.

There is no protocol. It hasn't happened for more than 70 years and last time (King George) all football matches were not suspended for the entire mourning period. Racing and Rugby did shut down. Let's wait and see.

What happened to football in the UK after King George VI died?

When the British monarch passed away in 1952, football matches continued and paid their respects to the king
