Fandom has proper melted rl's brain.
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.
Fandom has proper melted rl's brain.
Í'm out of the loop here. Who did RL rape?
All these mugs and their muggy arguments.

Opposing football fans using old news to take the piss out of their rivals new big signing? Who'd have thought it? It's the same as the bad driver jibes that Marcos Alonso got.
The difference is Jimmy didnt pipe up with a load of skidmark analysis and impact reviews to evidence why it's his passenger's fault that she died.
Do you think someone here was the person who sent the banner over the pitch or do you think Lewis is a die-hard anyone but United person. Because that’s how it came about.
You've missed the point I was making. His guilt is irrelevant. Jimmy didn't avoid leaping to his defence because of his undying respect for the Spanish legal system. He did so becausehe hates womenhe doesn't know the bloke. He's just fella that happens to play for the team he likes most.
The same applies here. There's no blood on your hands or pussy juice under your fingernails. Just enjoy the game and stop fretting about what he may or may not have done. He's a professional footballer, he will be a massive cunt in one way or another. They all are.
It doesn't matter who he is or which football team he plays for. I think it's wrong calling people rapists based on flimsy evidence who've never been convicted of anything.
I would have said the same if it was someone non-famous being discussed in the news thread or a Tory MP in the Politics thread.
It's not my fault you all start foaming at the mouth the moment I post anything even temporally related to Man Utd.
I must have missed your defence of Neymar and Mendy.
I haven't seen either of them being called rapists on here to comment.
Mendy is also remanded in custody awaiting trial so I'd suggest the burden of evidence against him is probably quite high, although I don't pretend to know exactly how stuff like that works. Even so, innocent until proven guilty.
Having done a quick search, it's telling that there's only one comment in this thread as far as I can see on Mendy's rape charges and it's about him having a meltdown because he thought he would be in the VIP wing. That despite his arrest being much more recent than anything that happened with Ronaldo and him being actually held in prison awaiting trial.
But you're right, it's definitely me who's got the unhealthy obsession with United and its players.
Did you search the August thread, when it came out?
I'm a twit
Can I have some links to your defence of Jimmy Saville then?
I'm 99% sure I made a similar post about Adam Johnson when those accusations first came out. A Man City player no less. But that would be lost to the old board.
For the clarity of doubt, if Ronaldo signed for city I would have said it was in brand for that team full of molesters and rapists. But he didn't so hands off.
I don't wish to defend RL's fanboyism, but I can absolutely see why Ronaldo settled out of court without necessarily being guilty.
Time is the most valuable commodity any of us have and he was able to pay to protect his because he can quite easily afford it. In addition the trial itself would have no doubt shed a lot of light on his personal life, which let's face it is fucking odd without anyone really having even scratched the surface of it and at the end of it all there was a chance (no matter how small) he could have gone to prison. Even if he didn't, the no smoke without fire stuff is always there.
I'd like to think if I was innocent and accused of such a crime I'd do everything I could to clear my name, but then I'm not a millionaire hundreds of times over and I can see how it would be very tempting to make all of the above (bar no smoke without fire, which you'll never lose either way) go away.
I think Spikey hit the nail on his tiny head. Rape cases are openly lolled out of court on the regular. Only a guilty man dips into his wallet.
That story about Mendy thinking the VP wing was the 'VIP wing' and throwing a wobbler when he got there was hilarious. I can't see it being topped all season.
Sure, they can pay people off to avoid the bother and not be a rapist. For example covering up an affair or something.
The police must get reports from weirdo's about having been raped by footballers all the time. If anything, getting a conviction against a footballer for it must be even harder than against your average Joe
Hilarious how Yev's post gets an entirely different response to mine despite giving the exact same reasons why someone innocent might agree to a pay off.

Bunch of cretins
There must be loads of pay-offs to women in football. Rugby players are always being accused of sexual assault and violence, so the working class thickos in football, plus all the foreigners who treat women like shit, are either very well educated and protected or spraying cash all over the place.
Yev explained it much better than RL imo.
So we all agree he is a rapist then?
Went to the Hawthorns yesterday for the first time in about 7 years, didn't realise how much I'd missed it until I was there.
I've felt super disconnected from the team and not really given a shit for ages, and within 10 minutes of kickoff i was fully invested again. Only 23 quid for my ticket and 2.50 train from Rugby, which is ridiculous.
Perhaps more interestingly to me on the subject of Ronaldo, does anyone know how much Utd are paying him?
1.2 million a week
I know, I was just waiting on RL to bite and throw another hissy fit
You support rapists, mate
It's like watching a baby trying to open a safe.
You can't technically support a rapist if you don't believe they've done it.
Klopp looks horrendous without his specs
Alexander Arnold defending a 1v1 is a funny sight
This feels a bit like last season. Should be out of sight really.
It's unreal how you're not at least 3 up.
Aye. We look constantly overrun at the back. Firpo versus Salah is a mismatch for the ages.
Sounds like they could do with an elite finisher. Someone like Ronaldo perhaps.
It's his first touch that's the problem.
Mane is constantly throwing himself to the floor.
