I don't know if it's just me but Fabinho looked terrible today. Almost Bakayoko level performance. Monaco definitely scammed us all

LOL so funny. 

I wonder how Lemar is doing at atlético? 

[Vesper 27,328]

FFS, Shitty are just destroying SOTON. I cannot see anyone beating them for the title. In fact, I think they have a great chance to win the CL.

[Vesper 27,328]

3 nil, 18 minutes in

they may score 10 

[Laylabelle 9,296]

I'd rather them then Liverpool. Obs rather us but unless we get strikers who can strike.. Won't always get by. 

Poor Southampton 

[Jase 43,479]

Was just looking at the table and noticed United have the sixth worst defence in the league and this is a Mourinho side! Only Burnley, Southampton, Cardiff, Fulham and Huddersfield have conceded more.

[OneMoSalah 8,615]

Watched highlights for Southampton-City match. How does Mark Hughes keep getting decent jobs? I cant believe a club like Southampton couldn't attract a better manager? 

Ruud on MOTD, as always a good insight but pity they've paired him up with Danny Murphy... jesus christ.

The clan of camel herders and pearl fishers lived in mudbrick homes beneath palm fronds -- and one can assume that for several ensuing decades, the idea of sky blue-clad football players was just as foreign to them as desert heat was to the Mancunians. But 128 years later, in September 2008, England's "Capital of the North" and the Al Nahyans, who had become a multibillion-dollar oil dynasty in the ensuing years, found their way to each other. And the consequences have been dramatic.

I always wondered how Manchester city suddenly had more sponsorship deals than chelsea. Including making more revenue than chelsea for the past 3 years now. Now I see why, inflated sponsorship figures  

[kellzfresh 7,226]

The length City went to enhance their sponsorship deals..... damn

Behind closed doors, they began looking for "creative solutions" to circumvent the rules, resulting in the launch of a secret project with the rather military-esque name "Project Longbow." In explaining the name, the club's chief legal adviser, Simon Cliff, noted in an internal email that the longbow was "the weapon the English used to beat the French at Crecy and Agincourt." For Man City club leadership, the enemy was apparently Michel Platini, the French UEFA president, and his signature project, FFP.

just when you thought it couldn't get any shadier, it jumps into another abyss

Quote

"The club had brought on board two experts to construct the castle of lies: Jonathan Rowland and his father David. The senior Rowland, a well-connected investment specialist, had been in the news in previous years as a result of the millions of pounds he had donated to the Conservative Party before then being appointed party treasurer. He never actually took up the post, however, withdrawing after it came out that he had hardly paid any taxes in the UK over decades. Rowland is still considered today to be a close ally of the crown prince of Abu Dhabi."
