What's happened to Kyle Walker's head?
He's gone full Guardiola with it
Good warm up that.
Defence needed that 1st half kick up the ass. 2nd half was the play we had last season. Salah with a few games under the belt could have finished with 4 or 5.
If Wolves get through against the Armenian's. They will face Torino or Shakhtyor Soligorsk from Belarus in the final round.
I see Dundalk or someone got drawn against Ajax or someone. How are Ajax in the Europa?
They aren't yet, but if they lose their CL tie to PAOK then they will be.
Ah right. I'd presumed winner of tie, not loser.
Would VAR have ruled out that goal where Walker fouled Origi in the build-up and then City broke away or is that looking back too far? lol at them doing that after the seething when the opposite happened in the first half as well.
Not sure I can be bothered with City at all this year if Guardiola is going to be in full-on chimpout mode all the time. Unless the wheels come off I suppose and then it might be quite funny. They can get fucked with this 'rivalry' thing as well. It's more of a media construct, but it's not happening.
Guardiola is mostly in chimp out more I'd he not? Leagues are nice and all but they're not how he validated his ability.
*'Pep'
I thought Pep was short for Pepe or Pedro. His birth name is actually Josep
Do you not remember him as Josep Guardiola? He was that for a lot of his playing career before the Pep bullshit kicked in.
I don't really remember his playing career at all. I remember Luis Enrique and Figo
THE MIGHTY BLADES are going to run riot this season
Egan even wrote us a song
Dunno how to embed it...

I see Tottenham are playing Villa again.
Why's Hammer/Gavel been banned?
I'm a twit
Because he's hypernonce.
Because he asked to and then proceeded to spam the forum until he was banned. Ill ban him again when I get back home.
...18 months ago.
Let him back.
I'm a twit
Nope.
Just goes to show when you want to have a total meltdown never ask for yourself to be banned
Has Phil McNulty decided to finally get off the fence?
Tough words.For all the cheerleading and predictable talk about a "feelgood factor", I have serious doubts that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is the man to turn around this big beast of the Premier League - doubts voiced before the initial bounce was deflated into those embarrassing performances at the end of last season.
Solskjaer, rather like Lampard, is totally unproven but was the safe choice for United's hierarchy.
Harry Maguire, at an exorbitant Ł80m for a central defender who is serviceable without being anywhere near the Van Dijk class

I really don't see the point in debating the fee itself. More of an issue is that we've spent the summer seemingly trying to fuck about only to spend about what Leicester wanted back at the start of the window. And of course that we don't appear to do any actual scouting worth a shit.
What are the chances of Sanchez, Pogba and Lukaku all staying?
The Lukaku thing seems to have enough traction that I reckon that'll probably happen. Sanchez there's no chance we'll get rid of him and I'd like to think we wouldn't sell Pogba at this stage unless we were able to line up a replacement sharpish, which Woodward does not have form for.
Also Dario Gradi is now potentially involved in a second paedophilia scandal.
I missed this when the Barry Bennell stuff was in the news last year:

It's hit Catholic Priest territory now.
Some people are really sick.
My dad had Gradi as a PE teacher at school (my dad is 64) and he said Gradi was a notorious nonce even then.
Aren't all PE teachers nonces or at least suspected of being so by students?
More so the former.
Chelsea U23s tonight in the Football League Trophy (apparently sponsored by 'Leasing.com' now - the addition of Prem U23 teams bringing big sponsorship I see). Bit of a mixture this one as it's a joke fixture but still one I'd like a decent result in. I'll settle for no injuries to any first team players though.
I vaguely remember Dan Crowley as being a bit of a prospect at Arsenal, but he has fully embraced the Dutch way of life while he was there. He's full of pretty turns and runs well with the ball without doing anything at all of substance. I've influenced the game precisely as much as he has.
Your work with Beograd outweighs his pretty turns. Give yourself some credit.[/itsrealtome]
Diego Forlan has retired and just like Evra I had no idea he hadn't already.
Djemba-Djemba and Roy Carrol are still active though
I thought you were joking holy shit.
LMFAO you dick it's literally the trivia question at the moment lololol i'm actually cackling at my desk

Rooney will wear 32 at Derby after 32Red made the club (and Rooney ofc) a huge sponsorship deal.
The moral issue angle is hilarious.
Either you allow gambling sponsorship or you don't, this doesn't add anything to the argument either way.
Wolves are in Armenia for a 5pm kick off in the first leg. What a time to be alive.
vs Armenia. Kick-off is at 5pm in the first leg.
4-0 easy work
