As far as I can tell it's a vehicle to make Netflix/Amazon docus about it.

Probably worth marking this NSFW...Originally Posted by Manc
Saliba has some serious boundary issues.
Diallo apparently fined £42,000 for signing falsified documents when he was 12
Sounds a hell of a story.
Seems odd to be hammering someone who was that age at the time of the offence (The Times has him as being 10). That said, a weeks wages (or maybe 2?) to avoid being banned (good old European justice) is probably worth it.
Hope United did the bone tests.
I'm a little perplexed that no one is reacting.
Is that Bristol City's legit change kit? The shorts make it look like they've had to borrow them.
Everton v Spurs sounds like it was a proper classic, and not a single mention in here.
Man United/West Ham sapped everyone's energy.
I have sympathy for Jose. That defence is full of morons.
I'll be fucked if any game in this competition is worth getting excited about. The team selections alone make it difficult.
It's their 'traditional' away kit, like Arsenal's yellow/dark blue and West Ham's light blue/2 maroon hoops.
Disgusting kit clash in Pompey v Swindon the other night - as Pompey also have white shorts and red socks, Town wore black shorts and blue socks (with a red top). Sexy.
Also, on subject, a masterclass on how to motivate your players, by John Sheridan:
£4m odd for Harvey Elliot is tasty but that 20% sell-on is going to send Fulham into the elite of global football whenever it does pay.
Neymar injured again in February, the creepy cunt
We have a new Shittest Penalty Ever.
Never mind penalties, that's worse than Heysel.
It could be an interpretative dance of Heysel.
Why are his teammates clapping? They should be primed to fill him in.
I feel like you can applaud them if they don't sky it. If the keeper guesses right, fair fucks. Still, I can't be doing with all that pre-amble. Pick a spot and chance your luck.
Tigred doing okay here, committing men forward so brave even if they got a booking in 41st min for timewasting
How jammy was that Ings goal?
Did City miss a payment to the draw organisers?
Not really a satisfactory level of shite to be had, unless you count Bournmeouth, who I'd assumed City had already knocked out. Almost an all top division quarter-finals.
Chelsea must have been highest bidders. Their cup run so far couldn’t be easier if they tried.
They better be going out here, I'm not too clued up on who is behind Barnsley but you can tell there's intelligence behind the operation.
That Ziyech performance was pretty special
Barney Ronay will quit his profession if he sees that penalty.
This is proper cold night in Barnsley stuff from us. It's easy to go down the cliché of the forriners not fancying these games, but some of them genuinely don't. Hazard used to be a terrible offender. Come the balmy April days they'll be back ziggazagging their way around and demanding contract extensions.
Ziyech has somehow been worse this half
Jesus, the physique of this Dike fella. He's boys with our Bruh, too.
When the commentator said his name I thought it was going to be Darrell D.K. and I was going to declare him a baller.
Speaking of which.
Werner update in relation to his operation?
In intensive care following major complications.
He's so bad
Gilmour looks looks like he plays with his own touch compilation taking priority. Definitely searches his own name on twitter after the game.
For a moment I thought they called him 'The Freezer' when he came on, but then realised it was just that the other sub was called Frieser.
All those german boys. I fully believe that once they get a move to a big club, then they never extend their current contract and Bayern Munich get them for free or for peanuts when there are within one year of their contract expiring. They are all in agreement.
I know I only bang on about Villa, and we haven't even played tonight, but I don't watch any other football. Soz.
Anyway, negative net spend in Europe across the last two years:

WATERSHED SEASON.
I think we take Spurs (broke) and Arsenal (shit). Then you have the other four, Villa, Everton and Leicester over the next few seasons. I'm not saying we're gonna win the league, but I'll take some European football for now. It's been a while. Hook me up please.
Doesn't that show that Villa have had the biggest net spend in Europe over the past 2 seasons? Or is that the point?
Everything hinges on your ability to keep Grealish. You can give it the Berti Big Bollocks fuck you pay me he'll be too expensive for anyone shtick, but if one of the Manchesters comes calling he'll probably go and you'll end up with 5 wasters in his place.
There's also the interesting thought experiment that is the return of fans to factor into the whole equation. I'm sure a good proportion of professional footballers crumble (relatively speaking) under the pressure of actual crowds (and conversely thrive in the sterile zeitgeist of the moment) and there's a good chance you have a few of those given the team's pre and post lockdown fortunes.
That's the point.
150m, motherfuckers. The squad is strong enough now to do alright without Grealish. It'd set us back about half a division for at least a year, mind. Anyway, he stays. New five year deal. No one's spending the kind of money required. Even before the pandemic the Manchester clubs don't. Barca are broke. Real Madrid maybe. Worst case scenario the recruitment has been very good the last two years.
We were okay pre-lockdown before we lost our centre forward, centre mid and first and second choice goalkeepers for the season. Think we were 14th and then had to start playing shit like Nyland, Samatta and a pissed up Danny Drinkwater to get through the season. Wesley's still fucked 13 months later.
I for one welcome our new ninth-placed Brummie overlords.
The fact that our Europa League opponent is from Portugal and we’re playing a two legged tie in Rome and Athens is insane.
The Euro cups must surely be abandoned. Euro 2020 possibly more manageable with bubbles or whatever.
Not a chance, even though, yes, it's farcical that they are going on in the way they are.
Why can UK teams not travel to Germany, but German teams can travel to, and presumably return from, the UK?
Just seen that away goals count in this neutral venue as well.
Because we have Ze British Variant.
Yeah, I get that, but if travel isn't allowed into the motherland from England, then how are Leipzig (for example) planning on getting home? And if there is an exemption for them, why would the same exemption not be applied to elite sporting teams going the other way? I don't really care, it just seems a bit mental to me.
Away goals.
We're going to get lumbered with all of Euro '2020' without fans and not get another international tournament for fifty years, aren't we.
Should offer in exchange for hosting a World Cup.
