TAKE THAT SHIT TO THE-BRITS.COM

I periodically revisit that game just to watch people in a Brazil shirt sobbing uncontrollably
this was David Luiz's heat map:

notice the one area the central defender was not occupying

 
*emerges from the darkness into a single spotlight, scratches arse, clears throat, belches, farts, grabs mic*
"Could it be I stayed awaaaaay too loo-onnnggg...."
Alright, heathens?
WE DA BEST

 
Only time you will hear me say it. Chelsea, you all right in my book... Very cool Chelsea. Chelsea taketh Chelsea giveth.
I would have preferred winning next week, but C'est La Vie.
How do you buy everyone on the internet a pint?


 

Congrats Liverpool. You were well on course to storm the league before the pandemic knocked everything sideways, feels only right that the league has re-started and given them their moment of glory. It's been a long wait. Arsenal beating the then relentlessly dominant Liverpool in '90 is what made me a Gooner, I've seen you guys come close a few seasons, but Klopp has taken football to new heights with this team.

Let's face it, no-one becomes a billionaire by being ethical and not overcharging for what they do, or by paying as much tax as possible.
"Let man who is like, a clean man innit, cast the fist brick at the other team's bus."

Pretty sure spending on good players is not just a habit Citeh have. Let's have a look, top 25 moast hexpensive incoming prem players, and see where City are paying a billion quid each for Messi and Neymar etc. like everyone makes out they can do:


I can only speak on what I watch so: In the absence of Neymar and Messi, and Joey "Going to a bigger team" Barton, Stevie Ireland and Richad Dunne...

KDB was good value.
Sterling was good value.
Laporte was good value.
We should have stumped up for VVD.
Mahrez was overpriced 20%. Still does well when he plays.
Rodri and Cancelo seem competent, neither have glamour professions doe.
Stones has been a crock.
Mendy has been a crock.

*I dunno why the image is there twice.

 
Also the purported new Newcastle buyers, MBS und dem (Man's Been Sawing) are having to deal with this additional mud in the water:

"Newcastle United’s takeover saga has been cast into further uncertainty after taking an unexpected twist on Tuesday when the Saudi Arabian government permanently barred the Premier League’s Qatar-based Middle East broadcast partner from operating in the kingdom. BeIN’s £500m deal with the Premier League runs until 2022 and there is now no legal way for anyone in Saudi Arabia to watch England’s top tier till then."

While we are in the miggle east, can we have some more wind in the sails of HMS "Quatar are buying the World Cup and the two F's in FIFA are not the same as the two F's in FFP" please? Talmbout Citeh players like Neymar, Messi, Mbappé boycotting it. Let's see what advertising income your backhanders bought you THEN.
 

I always found it strange that Real Madrid, whose training ground was purchased by the Spanish government at a vastly inflated price and then leased back to them for free, have never been taken to task over financial irregularities.

If only Arsenal had sold up to Usmanov :waaambulance:
 
I guess whoever has the coin to be buying clubs will have chosen some... less-than-fair options on their rampage to the top. When they are former soviets, not even worth googling to guess how the money goes. Still, all fine upstanding pillars of the community as far as the FA are concerned.
 

The match report says he was very good. At defending. If he can be coached into competence then maybe Arteta is the messiah after all.


 
Watched it, City never looked like scoring. Nobody able to generate anything in the final third.

I am crediting Arsenal's backline for that, Xhaka was solid as... Granite? :breakface:

Arteta also beat Corona this season too.

World's his oyster.

That and the whole Coutinho (Craziest/worst trade in history) drama...
Milk almost came out of my nose when I read that Barcelona might have to pay Liverpool £4.5million if Coutinho wins the Champions League this season while on loan to Bayern. I thought it was sad enough him digging the knife in their game the other day.




 
I know Bayern are favorites right now, but I think there would be some poetic justice if Lyon somehow pulled this off and won the CL before PSG does
 
Fair play to Lyon, they defend solidly and pop the counterstrike perfectly. If you are going to play high-stakes defence, like City always do, to stack the chips on possession and goals-scored boxes, you have to expect to concede these kind of goals to teams at this level. All mistakes are punished.

Jason Denayer had a great game. Yes, the man City loaned out to Celtic, Galtasaray etc. (where he got good reviews) and then sold for 6M. I think if Kun was fit, we'd have put games to sleep this season and not lost nine. I said back in January they are soooo wasteful and it's come back to bite them. Jesus is good, but no Aguero. He's one-in-a-generation.
