TAKE THAT SHIT TO THE-BRITS.COM

Really?


They did hire the Waiter, albeit as a one-season stopgap for Herr Klopp or someone

You can never underestimate the stupidity of Floro Perez's transfer policy. In fact, that is just the type of stupid thing he does - sells off his best midfielder, probably in order to buy another star forward. I just don't know who has left to buy at this point.
 
I dunno about stupid - The Real board's transfer policy seems to be to purchase galacticos, regardless of where and what they need. They sure shift a f*ckload of shirts and that always looks good to the shareholders and accountants. Managerial churn sees that no-one stays around long enough to see a system bearing fruit but they've gotten by nicely enough for them to not worry about a gaffer anymore.





They really, really want Aguero but City can't afford to lose their only world-class player, regardless of what they Real offer in return - City don't need the money.

seems some people are starting to ask tougher questions of Perez's policy lately. He says they make all the money back just on shirt sales, but the return on the field has been pathetic. Over €1 Billion spent in order to win 1 league title in the past 7 years and finally get the CL they so deeply craved, and yet they get completely overshadowed by their greatest rivals during this period. Perhaps it's starting to seem a bit futile, but as long as they got that bottomless well of cash I don't think they give a fuck. Maybe once the restructuring of the TV money kicks in they'll change their habits a bit.





The only way I can see Aguero going there is on some "greater ambitions, new challenges" type of forced move.

I too am interested to see how this plays out. I'd like to think that real decision makers understand that it's good for the benefit of la liga in the long run if they can better share the TV rights, but I also don't see RM or FCB going quietly with removing this huge cash cow. They both have plenty of backing to cash, but part of that (especially for RM) is based on the cash flow they've always been able to generate.





I'm more interested to see who RM goes after for Goal Keeper -- I think that will be an interesting "merry-go-round" of players if they really try and make a move for De Gea



 
this shit just gets more and more fucked up, doesn't it?





The German newspaper Die Zeit reported on Friday that the then chancellor Gerhard Shröder supplied arms to Saudi Arabia in return for support in Germany’s World Cup bid, in which it defeated South Africa 12-11 in the final round in controversial circumstances. The claims, also reported in Der Spiegel, alleged that the government lifted arms restrictions days before the vote in order to make the shipment and help swing Saudi Arabia’s vote to Germany.

Yes blud! I have to get a round of drinks in over there anyway. My pennance for winning a fantasy league with old muckers from my time over there.





One more won't hurt.





Say when.

sep 22- oct 1.











also, any must-hit spots and other recco's always welcome. as touristy and hokey as you may see it, guinness plant a must-go for me.
 
I never did the plant tour, despite living right the f*ck opposite it. I was told by someone who worked there to drink where they drank if you wanted decent Guinness. I did put a couple of stone on over there. The mitigating factors were not having heat or electricity for days on end, so we spent most of our time outside of work in the bar. With Australians and Irish. It was never going to be a health spa.





Looking at those dates, Fri 25th to Sunday 27th look good for me. I'll see if my Dubs are around then too.





My liver is looking at me like a frightened dog.

After dropping the sproggs off this afternoon, and seeking alternative from eurofunk n Lord Hardcastle cd fodder, I tuned into talk sport ahead of the U21 games vs Schveeden.





Harry Kane interview. Every sentence littered with "as I said before".


No you didn't, Harry, not once.


But I forgive you. Young lad, etc etc.


But Stuart Pearce though.


Catchphrases all over the place.

Structure


As in 'structured ball out to the wing', '80s English structure', 'well structured move'.





No wonder he's had dismal failures at management.


Worst pundit ever.
