France striker Kylian Mbappe does not want to leave Paris St-Germain in January despite the 25-year-old's contract expiring at the end of the season.

 

This gimp has to be one of the least interesting "great players" to have ever played.

[Jairzinho]

Surely at some point he'll want to play in one of the top 20 leagues in Europe.

It's about voting rights on a board.

If I never read the word Mbappe in a headline again it'll be too soon.

No away fans at Celtic v r*ngers games. Pathetic from both clubs arguing over allocations. 

[Bobby Hundreds]

Chelsea 2 up. Can't stand them their entire success and status bought by a Russian gangster I hope they fold the fucks.

Sick of seeing all these daft cunt players with holes torn or cut into the back of their socks.

 

What the fuck is that shit supposed to be about?

 

I was literally just thinking this before when I saw Connor Gallagher getting treatment in the Luton game. I've noticed lots of players with one hole on the back of the calf in their socks, but Gallagher's were riddled with them. What's the fucking point of it? Wankers. Refs should start making them leave the field until they come back with proper socks.

Have kit manufacturers just stopped making decent socks?

And yet you get some players pulling their socks way above the knee, which would seem to be much worse than just being a bit tight around the calf.

[Bob]

And the few people I know who do ultra running all choose to wear knee length compression socks.

I've not looked properly at the details, but I think the class A are what the glazers own and class B is what is traded on NYSE. Each class A share gets I think 10 votes to 1 share. The class B are 1 to 1. I think the class A shares he's bought have been sold to him by the glazers, so all money goes to them. The class B shares are new issue and the money is to be re invested in the football club - which has been claimed is for a stadium upgrade, but I don't know if it has to be spent on that.

$1.6bn for 25% - $1.3bn to the Glazers and $300m to fix the leaky roof!! The club gets $200m on completion and then remaining $100m by the end of 2024.

I see your point, but they have to be favourites to win it. The AFCON will fuck our chances and probably Arsenal's too.

 

If we were 10 points ahead on the same games played you'd give us a chance. 2 points is fuck all.

[coachpotato]

Guardiola will expect them to go on a run of wins and will also likely expect us and Arsenal, in particular, to not be able to keep up with them.

He won’t be alone in believing that scenario.

However, the longer it goes with us at least matching their results, and hopefully getting the result against them in March, the more he’ll get agitated and stressed.

It is really in our hands to win the next 19 games, 1-0 in every game if necessary, and while unlikely, it isn’t impossible.

It’ll also put us through the wringer as well!!
What a piss boiler that would be though.
