I think their net spend was minus given they sold Pope, Collins, Cornet, McNeil etc.
It would be a big mentality shift for them to start paying big for players with Kompany at the helm when they refused to do it for Dyche. Kompany has even said he had a four-year strategy for them so promotion this season wasn't essential to their plans (whereas apparently West Brom are in big shit with FFP if they don't go up, which they won't).
Feels like Preston have crept into contention under shadow of darkness, I've been looking at all the results around us but they've not been on my radar at all.
I hope with Burnley going up they let Luke McNally join us, he's even been a bit rubbish for us in the last few games on purpose I assume to bring the asking price down. Good lad
Apart from the arse end fodder like Wigan, Blackpool and Reading, Preston were the worst team I've seen this season and that was less than a month ago. Fuck knows how they've turned that around.
No Walker against Bayern BLM is a big ol' no-no and hopefully it delivers on its potential.
No Muller or Chupo Moting. Tuchel knows.
The keeper in the Munich goal looks tiny.
Rodri is a proper plur
What a save by Sommer.
Musiala killing every Bayern attack.
Huh
Bayern are looking so shit defensively.
Nagelsmann will be enjoying this.
Bayern are bang average m8 @-james-

Dortmund rolling over yet again has saved him from a horrendous start. Kicked out of two competitions in a weekOriginally Posted by Manc
Yann Sommer is playing in the wrong era.
Yeah, but they shunned that for many years, as they're a bunch of backward eejits (turned it all around with their VAT scams though and zero-ten bullshit). Proper land that time forgot in the 90s, probably more normal now, not been this millenium.
Sommer has had a wild game. Been both brilliant and shit at the same time.
How the fuck did this happen? Surely someone must have asked "erm... is this ok?".
I don't understand what the fuss is about.
Yeah, neither do I. I thought I was missing something at first lol
Judging by the score it looks like they forgot they were supposed to play
Probably Napoli or bust at this point.Who tf is stopping these cunts
Dele Alli is a drug addict.
Imagine if that's the thing that ruined his career.
We can always get a Real special where they play shit for all 180 minutes and somehow come out on top.

You really think trivialising Alzheimer's (barely short of mocking to be honest) down to "lol we forgot some names" is an appropriate way to raise awareness?
I've just become aware of Ben Foster's YouTube channel. What a helmet.
Oh, I'd looked at it as Alzheimer's raising awareness of Women's football.
A propos of very little, but I've just seen that the 'Spain, Portugal and Ukraine' bid for the 2030 World Cup has now been joined by Morocco.
The three bids are therefore:
Spain, Portugal, Ukraine and Morocco
Greece, Egypt and Saudi Arabia
Chile, Paraguay, Argentina and Uruguay
If the latter doesn't win I might genuinely cry.
What the actual fuck is going on with Ukraine, let alone another three countries, standing behind a bid to partially host a World Cup in what is currently a warzone?
Although, I should add that is somehow still better than option 2.
That second one is absurd.
The South American one is the only one that makes any kind of Geographical sense.
Greece, Egypt and Saudi Arabia in the winter it is then.
I also see they've announced the stadiums for the UK/Ireland Euros bid and 5live are busy throwing shade on the Glazers claiming only 'state of the art' stadiums have been chosen, which is why OT isn't on the list. That's all well and good, until you see St James', Villa Park and Hampden Park are on the list, none of which are going to be boasting their own cheese room, I wouldn;t have thought. Also didn't realise the capacity of the Spurs Stadium is just over 60k [although not I think about it did they just make it a little bit bigger than Arsenal's?] - I thought it would be more like 70k+ being all newfangled and whatnot.
You have to get the capacity just right. It's all well and good building an 80k seater colosseum, but as the Italian clubs can attest to, it aint all that. You want it full or close to for every game. It becomes a much easier sell to sponsors and your corporate seating too.
And location. How many stadiums are right in the centre of their respective towns/cities?
Totally Wicked Stadium is. Sort of.
Speaking of which, fancy a tour of St. Helens?
I'm a twit
Hampden is fucking terrible. Celtic Park or Ibrox would have been way better as well as being incredibly funny.
Yeah, should have been Ibrox or Murrayfield (or both). Celtic Park is also a cesspit. Hampden just needs redeveloped or knocked down. The running track absolutely ruins it never mind the lack of tiers.
The only decent stadium we have isn’t on it. Though I suppose they had to include Lansdowne, but lol if the other one is ready thanks to GS and his mates.
Has Murrayfield ever been used for football?
Hearts have used it multiple times.
I'd take that over Tynecastle every week. Hell, get Tynecastle demolished.
Best ground in Scotland, you gimp.
It wasn't when I fucking visited. Looked absolutely knackered.

The Main Stand was a bit grim and outdated but they’ve built a new stand now. Even with the old stand though it was the best. Proper atmosphere and fans right on top of the pitch unlike Hampden.
Camavinga at left back seems like a bit of a waste. They've been doing it a lot this season and they wonder why they're 12 points behind a bang average Barcelona.
