My favourite manager has taken Nice to the top of the French league in aplomb. I pray he ends up at PSG, and then here.

he's exactly the type of defender Conte loves to work with

Playing without a striker, Pep is an absolute weirdo

At his best, he was at least equal to Courtois (here, not at Atletico, that guy is different altogether.) That's definitely good enough for us, and I believe we'd put a real fire in his belly. Right now, we're the most logical team for him quite easily.

Sabatini essentially assured Lazio would be a top dog again, he rebuilt their team beautifully. He then found Palermo's best players from the past 15 years, players whom none of us had heard of at all before joining Palermo, I'm sure of it. Then he moved to Roma and he did the best he could. But keep in mind, they have owners far worse than anyone in our own league. Absolute tits. They certainly wanted big names from Sabatini, they want to still increase their brand awareness and solidify themselves as one of the USA's most followed teams in Europe. The fact it wasn't so much about the talent anymore, i'm sure, has helped push Saba out the door.

I'm probably missing some players but, the gems or prospects we've bought with Emenalo in charge, haven't exactly been incredible finds. He helped bring over some borderline incredible players maybe, but all the other teams knew about them, and it was mainly Piet who lead that charge of ours. Lukaku & De Bruyne were 2 of the 5 hottest prospects in Belgium. Musonda follows them to become the 3rd. Every single top scout should and would have known about at least the first 2. Hazard was beyond being gushed about in world football, considered by far the best player in France, before we bought him. I liked Romeu, but I believe AVB found him. Mata was known all over Spain before we got him. Oscar hasn't exactly done for us what Pastore (found by Sabatini of course) did in Serie A, not even close. Then we've got Marko Marin, whoever's smart idea that was. I liked Salah, that was a genuinely good find, I'm not sure who pulled the trigger on him. I now wonder whose idea it was to get Cuadrado lol. So, whom exactly has Emenalo found for us, who's then turned out great?

This might end up really funny.

If only we'd persisted with McEachran

He's loyal. He's consistent. He's patient. I respect that.

I used to think it was fantasy stuff what I kept asking for, Azpi at centre back, Moses as a wing back. It was so obvious from both of their first seasons with us. I might just go get some coaching badges to be honest.

It would be gamechanging. He's been in chains and craving a team with the amount of pull & finance we do.

Moses has been our most consistent player from the moment we signed him.

Costa was simply reminding the bench to start heating up his roll, he wants it ready once the whistle blows

I've seen better composure from a cup of Costa coffee

Nothing gets me hornier than 20 people watching a game and none of them sharing a link. Keep playing hard to get

We don't need a team to tell us our board are on crack

That article makes it seem like Willian has other duties stressing him, really more than there are, and I wonder why they've done that. Why can't the article just focus on his strength for going through losing moments with his mum? Why do they add 'All the while, he has to concentrate on his job, his family, his livelihood, and his future.' What what what? His job IS his livelihood. His job IS his future, which is already secured, as a footballer. His family have already coped with him being away constantly, it's not like he has any kids without a mum or other family support (or £millions.) Why squeeze a man with a dying mum for extra drama & word-count? Damn stupid article, but what can I expect from WAGNH. The answer is spend as much time with le mother as possible and that's that.

bees are officially endangered in America. I swear the USA is a piece of dog shit now compared to the rest of the world. no other place on this earth has seen the rapid decline they've seen in only 3-4 years. idiots.

not new at all. we've used honey to treat absolutely everything since pretty much the dawn of time.

It's essentially the Premier League with only 1 club (Bayern) being more concerned with marketing than football. It's so much purer there.

After sleeping I realise, he's like our Kuyt, or our Park Ji-Sung. They didn't score every week, but they weren't supposed to.

He's still one of my favourite players. I see everything he brings to the table. We've had 0 managers interested in developing the talent at our disposal, we aren't a club for growth in that sense, but if he was at one (Barcelona, Liverpool, Dortmund, Juve) we'd be crying to have him. I can't name 5 players who keep the ball better than him. I can't name 5 players with more stamina than him. I can't name 5 players with a better attitude or more commitment to their team. He's obviously an asset, at worst a bench player, not a player you ever sell.

smart move astute thinking brilliant

Every time i see him play i can't believe Atletico thought Gameiro was a player they needed. What a waste, so stupid.
