  • So what exactly was the plan? In detail. Leave no stone unturned.

    • Who planned and financed it?

    • Where was it planned?

    • How was it covertly executed?

    • What were the main objectives?

    • How did the planners protect themselves from their devious plot?

  • I'm really shocked there wasn't a few other teams looking at JWP this summer, given the relatively low price.

  • The match between Romania and Kosovo has been suspended due to Romanian fans showing racism to the Kosovar players

    Jump

  • Note the bold word ......

    Kosovo Albanians belong to the ethnic Albanian sub-group of Ghegs,[10] who inhabit the north of Albania, north of the Shkumbin river, Kosovo, southern Serbia, and western parts of North Macedonia.

    Now what is racism?

    prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism by an individual, community, or institution against a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized.

    Explain to me, how this isn't racism?

  • Hot take: An upcoming change in the footballing landscape.

    Jump

  • There will be no new leagues or tournaments that effect the status quo. Established leagues and federations will not be making any changes unless it involves a lot of money, without hindering any current revenue streams.

    Football, at its core, is ingrained at a cultural level in many countries, and no amount of money from Saudi, or China, or the US will change that. True fans see the Saudi vanity project for what it is, and while they may attract the plastics, in time nothing will change.

    I'm a Canadian. We play hockey. It's what we do, and it's why, despite our small population, we dominate on a global level. It's a community thing, it's a family thing, it's a cultural thing. Money won't change that. It takes generations to create that.

    China failed, and so will Saudi. Minor things will happen every decade or so to suit a new generation but when I die in 40-50 years, things will basically be the same.

  • The rapidly declining state of La Liga.

    Jump

  • The only way they are escaping the death spiral is for teams to adopt attacking styles of play while also investing in, cheap, young attacking talent. Football is an international sport and outside of Barca and Madrid the other teams need to attract new fans and they won't be doing that with murder ball. I'm the average fan the league needs to attract and I personally don't want to watch a bunch of teams play 60-70 mins of slow, defensive and occasionally brutal football.

    Brighton have made a case for smaller teams who want to compete and it's time for some teams to start looking at how they can adopt some of Brighton's philosophies and emulating them.

  • Liverpool have reached agreement with Bayern Munich to sign Ryan Gravenberch. Fixed fee €40m. Netherlands international to join on long-term contract.

    Jump

  • Technically, yes.

    I haven't had the luxury of sitting down and watching games as closely as I'd like to, but Klopp is doing something different this year. Ive s¹een Gakpo start in the CM slot while Mac Allister has been the DM basically.

    Given their depth issues at CM, plugging the DM role for one year isn't a big problem. I should probably go check YouTube for an in depth analysis of their tactics this year when I find some time.

    Jump

  • A solid signing that should give them the depth they need at CM.

  • 2023/24 Champions League Group Stage Draw

    Jump

  • There is no clear front runner in that group and there will be no easy game, so every point is going to matter.

    I'd like to see Milan and Dortmund move on but I have a feeling it will be Newcastle and PSG.

  • Canada advises LGBTQ2 travellers to be aware of U.S. state laws

    Jump

  • At least make the lie believable

  • Chelsea have a billion-dollar team, but do they have a plan?

    Jump

  • Every 100 million raised by player sales can fund 500 million of purchases if the players sign five-year contracts.

    The problem with this theory is that it isn't perpetual and it ignores the debt that continues to grow. See below.

    • Year 1. Sell 100, Buy 500, -400 net.
    • Year 2. Sell 100, Buy 500, -800 net.
    • Year 3. Sell 100, Buy 500, -1,200 net.
    • Year 4. Sell 100, Buy 500, -1,600 net.
    • Year 5. Sell 100, Buy 500 - 2,000 net.

    Kicking the can further down the road while accruing more dept isn't sustainable and I'm not sure what the end goal is. Spending 1b doesn't guarantee success (ask Man U fans) and if Chelsea can't get their shit together and get into CL regularly they will eventually end up in a financial dumster fire.

    As for the players and the manager, I'm not optimistic in how it will all play out. Poch is a good manager and I'm sure he will turn things around from the mess that was last year, but I don't see how this squad gets beyond 7th, especially if Brighton, Brentford and Villa continue playing as well as they are.

  • So who won lol?

  • [The Athletic] Manchester United told senior staff that Mason Greenwood will return

    Jump

  • You kind of saw this coming. Given how Partey is still playing and has been crucial for our success (at times) I'm guessing ManU figured if we haven't been crucified for doing nothing then they won't either.

  • Manchester City’s Kevin De Bruyne could miss rest of year with injury

    Jump

  • Was it worth rushing him back for the Community Shield or Burnley? They realistically would have done just fine without him for those games and they only really have Newcastle to worry about until Oct, so I'm not sure what the rush to get him back was.

  • [Jacob Steinberg]Chelsea are still trying to beat Liverpool to Moisés Caicedo and are prepared to bid more than £110m

    Jump

  • This is a massive signing for both teams, and I'm curious to see where he goes. Liverpool would be the smatter choice, but I'm sure Chelsea are willing to pay more. Either way both teams need him, but I'm sad to see him leave Brighton.

  • Where do Spurs finish in the table?

    Jump

  • Without Kane, 8th or 9th place and with Kane maybe 6th, probably 7th.

    Even with their easier schedule I still don't see them finishing above City, Arsenal, Newcastle, United or Liverpool. I'm inclined to add Villa to the list as well as I think Emery won't do as well as last year but they should still be very competitive.

    Honestly feel like Chelsea and Tottenham are in the same boat and they should be fighting for 7th and 8th.

  • [Matt Law] Harry Kane unsure whether Bayern Munich move is too late after deal agreed with Tottenham

    Jump

  • If Kane stays, it will only add fuel to the fire and the gossip will shift to which PL team he signs for.

  • Neymar has once again been offered to Barça, but Xavi does not want him because he is afraid he might destabilize the team.

    Jump

  • Too old.

    Saudi Arabia is the only place he goes where the financial risk of a signing like this means absolutely nothing.
