NEVER ceases to amaze me how shit the Daily Mail are...

I see where you are coming from mate. I don't think anyone outside of Chelsea fans actually thinks Costa is 'world class'....whatever that means! But regarding prices, the market is almost completely random, especially with new TV and sponsorship deals almost every year. We could 100% get 50m for Costa if say a club like PSG wanted him. I mean we almost got - what was it? 60m? 70m?- for him in Jan from China. I think the days were 'market value' and selling prices of players were an indication of anything are probably behind us.
-
I guess, theoretically, we can keep him and he would have to perform his best especially with it being a WC year. But I just don't think Conte is the type of manager who would include him in his plans after all he's said. And, in practice, I have a feeling that keeping him would not end well. He's a player who's level is reliant on his mood and keeping here unhappy probably won't help anyone and would only lower his value further.

For some reason I remembered when it was said that Ozil was too ugly for Real Madrid!
-
Possible, but I think it would be a weird choice for him ahead of us because he will most likely get more playing time at a position he likes more and play a bigger role in the team here than at City. I think it's more likely that we were just never seriously interested in him. Which is a shame considering how well he's played this season.
-
Problem is, we're not in a position to dictate negotiations, are we? His wages can only be paid either by a top team or China/US, he doesn't seem to want to go to China, there aren't any other top team who seem to want him (at least not yet) and we clearly don't want to keep a player who has made it obvious that he isn't happy and doesn't want to stay. Unless we can get another team interested, we just don't have any leverage in this.

I don't really follow transfers closely, but can someone please explain to me why we are letting Alves go to City even though we desperately need wing backs and the role here would suite him better than that at City?

"The political wing of the Old Testament"

Yup. Did you see the first episode on election night or the second on Friday? His monologues at the end are a work of art, particularly that Paul Nuttal one. Still can't believe he's actually allowed on TV!
-
@Fulham Broadway mate did you see Frankie Boyle's new show? It's sooo good!
-
Dunno, might have been a one off as it's still an ongoing religious debate in KSA. But honestly, does it matter in any way?
-
Oh god, the climate denial is the worst part. As if the Tories need any help in insisting that the humankind races towards the cliff. This is especially rich since the Tories basically ran their campaign by accusing Corbyn of associating with the wrong people (Hamas/Hezbollah..etc.) According to the Saudi FA, they had agreed for there to be a minutes silence but had informed the organizers that the players would not stand in a line for it. Tbf, I saw a short clip of it and a few players were standing still in their positions while other continues stretching. Honestly, this is the last thing on my list of things to be enraged about concerning Saudi Arabia.
-
More like the tea party. I was just reading a bit of their views on LGBT and women's rights..
-
Those DUP folks seem....nice.
-
Minutes silences at football matches don't happen in Saudi Arabia as some view it to go against their religious beliefs. Now, it's not a secret that I'm not a fan of the prevailing religious beliefs in Saudi Arabia, but this is just personal freedom that has no impact on anyone else. You can't assume that your cultural traditions and norms are observed everywhere..

I remember it was Khan that snubbed him to avoid being criticized by the papers who were at the peak of their Corbyn attack. Hopefully these results mean that UKIP are finished for good. Not that I genuinely expect CNN and FOX to stop having Farage as a guest.. Also, this made me chuckle:
-
I've NO idea mate. I just know that Corbyn just stuck up a huge middle finger to every news paper, tv station, the Tories, most of his own MPs....basically to the whole establishment. What he's done in face of the media witch-hunt is nothing short of incredible.

Oh my, what a beautifully hung parliament you've got there!

It could be that Conte actually texted it him that or it could be that he made it up because he wants to make sure that he leaves because either way he just demolished any chance of him staying here; which, if you've been looking closely, he's been trying to do for more than a year now. Diego is a good player who's played a major role in helping us win two PL titles. But he's not irreplaceable and the fact that he's not being linked to any of the top teams in Europe is evidence, I think, that he is overrated by us and the English media. I've never been a fan of his attitude neither on nor off the pitch, but I genuinely wish him all the best of luck and thank him for what he's helped the club achieve in his time here.

@Fulham Broadway I love how all the media practically everywhere are now trying to downplay the UK elections now that the polls have become so close. It's really interesting to see how the media everywhere operates so similarly and in sync, Even the media here have suddenly almost completely stopped reporting on the election all together! Also, am I going crazy or is the Guardian basically coming out as pro May?
-
Didn't know where to post this, but anyway:
-
I don't think Corbyn will win the election but I think he'll do considerably better than expected, and by expected I mean what the media say he will do. I don't think the Tories will get the absolute majority they were looking for.

Tbf, hearing her talk a bit, I am almost certain that she was TOPTB!

Well the moron, whom I'm not particularly a fan of, did undeniably way better than your current PM. What does that say about May?
-
WHAT?! Anyway...My claim was not about the British army being the same as ISIS nor their goals. My claim was about those specific acts. You did NOT contrast between their moral implications nor address the points I raised about their similarities. Also, and this is pretty key, the bombs that the British army drop on the region, just like that particular one they decided to write on for propaganda, almost always kill innocent civilians. There were 100+ civilian causalities from bombings by the so called international coalition in two separate strikes in Syria and one in Iraq....and that's just this past week! So those bombs are dropped with the full knowledge that they, not only are ineffective and counter-productive in fighting terrorism as they mostly create more terrorism than they destroy, but that they inevitably cause high civilian deaths. So that makes those bombs mindless violence that knowingly kills innocents; and that image and message glorifies that violence just like ISIS videos shamelessly glorify their violence.
