I just nipped over to the cafe while having a crap (all the guffawing helps me go) and I noticed that the Gala post match is only 10 pages. I know they like a long page, but by Christ I think we’ve done the game more justice than that. They’re broken to fuck.

Double like.

He’s been their best number 6 when he’s played. It’s probably for the best if they can find a shitter version that will be happy to sit on the bench for less money.

That's a pretty low bar

Most footballers don’t seem to be arsed where they park. Guess a £40 fine or whatever it is doesn't matter if you’re on £350k a week.

Perhaps it should be 5% of what the car is worth.

When you compare a standard £40 fine to a minimum wage workers weekly earnings, then compare 5% of that cars worth to his weekly earnings.. the minimum wage earner is still getting far more harshly punished.

Under your proposal a minimum wage earner would have to be driving a car worth no more than about £200 in order for it to be a fair and equitable punishment!

He’s been awarded for feeding the starving kids apparently

Correction.., He's been awarded for demanding people earning 0.1% of what he earns should be handing over yet more of their income to feed "starving" kids. All whilst he uses various tax avoidance schemes and has a fleet of cars costing hundreds of thousands pounds each.

£40 is one fifth of £200, i.e. 20%.

£40 is 5% of £800

Football365 and a couple of other sites reporting rags will be banned from CL next season if Ratcliffe takes a significant share holding.
Apparently UEFA were planning to change the rule on dual ownership but this change is now unlikely and UEFA have said they can't both be in the CL. - The team that finishes higher will go in the CL and as Nice are second behind PSG they are likely to finish above the rags.
I know many on here think the rags are mid-table at best and we were saying the same thing last season yet they finished int he top four.
One site said they'd be able to qualify for the Europa Conference if they finished 7th and a top six team won the League Cup.
This would be piss funny if true, but I'd expect Nice to plummet down the table once Ratcliffe became fully involved at the swamp.

If United get bounced out and play in the Thursday Night Cup they could end up playing Liverpool in the final in Dublin if they both get there..
Dublin would be one place I would stay away from and the trouble they had there last week would come nowhere near what would happen if those two got to the Final..
Also I honestly believe that final would be more relevant and grabb more headlines than this seasons Champions League Final around the world. .

That’s because you’re a dipper & you’re hurting being in the second tier cup

Girona??

Girona??

Good point. Hadn't realised how high they were in La Liga, but there has been no mention in the media of City not being in the CL if we finish lower in the PL than Girona do in Spain.
