Are you suggesting a shadowy cabal have deliberately infected Xhaka? Maybe they should have done it before the last game.Originally Posted by niko_cee
Brighton: £50m?? Well in, lads.
Chelsea: Pending results of The Operation
Leeds: Danj-Ames! Danj-Ames! Danj-Ames!
Liverpool: Because FM contract renewals are the best bit!
Manchester United: Ronaldo 1-0 (plus some other nobodies.)
The Villa: Young. 
Tottenham: Levy will be delighted to keep Charlie Kane around.
West 'Am: Big Mark Noble's presence is like three new signings.
You didn't list [somebody else] Webly, you cunt.
If we don't talk about 'tiers' ever again it'll be too soon.

Banks, airlines and fricking Google are requiring their staff to get vaccinated so I don't see why it'd be different for football clubs. There's obviously just an overlapping Venn diagram of young/thick/egotistical which means players might be less inclined.
'Banks, airlines and Google'
Everywhere should have.
I see Grealish is straight into the starting XI now he plays for Man City
Holy shit, Vietnam have taken the lead away to Saudi Arabia #Scenes
Oh for fuck's sake I'd forgotten England are playing tonight.
I for one can't wait to see our scintillating brand of football again...
Brazillian Elkeson is leading out China under the guise of Ai Kesen. And their starting CB Jiang Guangtai is a familiar face. Buzzing to see their 2026 campaign spearheaded by Mai Son Jin Wood.
If we'd won a couple of months back, you'd still complain about it taking too long.
Complaining about what taking too long?
Can you not read sentences?
It was a weird response to a post about boring football tbh shinners.
Not when they're as lame as the ones you type.
It also makes no sense either, given that I've never complained about us taking too long to win something.
And I mean, this is utterly rancid so far, again.
Ronaldo has been given 7 at United.
I'm not one to get involved in heated forum exchanges as you know but Shinners giving it the big one because someone's not got one of his cryptic messes of a post
Harsh penalty and red card for Vietnam. Certainly hit's his arm, but not sure where else his arm could go in that situation, and it bounces off his leg too. Saudi 1-1 Vietnam
Finally honoured like the greats, Beckham, Cantona, Owen, Di Maria, Valencia etc.
I understand how valuable his pace is, but Kyle Walker really is a brain dead footballer. Surely come Qatar James/Trent takes the starting spot.

A murky transfer window
With all the drama of transfer day, it can be hard to keep track of all the latest figures and deals flying around. One particular exec at a big club was clearly hoping to use this commotion to their advantage, but people have started to notice a curious eight-figure discrepancy bubbling up on the books.
At least three unlikely summer transfers are now under the microscope, including one in which the club ended up paying £20m more for a player than the selling club asked for – and it's not immediately clear where the remaining balance might have ended up.
As there doesn't seem to be a satisfactory answer forthcoming, we're told we can expect a big resignation (or "mutually agreed departure") to take place before too long.
Michael Edwards is going, but we signed Konate for about £34m. I'd say that's about fair.
Harry and Sam are unemployed.
Lukaku deal?>> Ball games <<

Has to be the greasy Italian bloke at Tottenham if true. £47m for Romero and £25m for Emerson Royale?
Ramsdale for £30m a close second.
Romero was £42.5m and Emerson £21m, both of which are completely reasonable fees.
Wolves spunking all that cash for the shit Portuguese striker last season still stinks of something fishy.
It was them doing Mendes a favour in exchange for him bringing them good Portuguese players.
That's awful from Kane.
That was a nice goal.
If you're hoping to skim transfer fees for personal gain you don't go and work for Daniel Levy ffs.
Get fucked Spain.
We're dead good at qualifiers.
Credit where it's due, this second half has been good and enjoyable to watch.
Sterling
The authority
City dodged a bullet here. Mason Greenwood starts in Qatar.
Fuck me. How many wasted chances now?
I'm watching Northern Ireland (obviously) and young McCann looks a player.
A player like George Best or a player like Callum Best?
I still remember Jimmy proclaiming Ben Woodburn to be the future of the sport after he scored that goal for Wales when he was very young.
I've no idea whether it was tongue in cheek or not, but it always stuck with me.
More like Clyde Best.
85 minutes, first change. I really wish Southgate wouldn't do that.
Romero won defender of the season in Serie A last season. Emerson is a 22 year old full Brazil international. The fees are entirely unsurprising.The authority
Mendes' dodgy dealings at Wolves are hardly a secret.
Somewhere between George and Leon.
I enjoyed that. Lord only knows what Grealish will look like with a full year under Pep.
Shame he didn't sign for City before the Euros, might have got on the pitch a bit more.
First loss for Spain in WC qualifiers since -93.
