Absolute screamer that. No luck involved - just pure class. What an international debut by young Woodburn! Exciting stuff.

[Grinch]

Really fucking good strike. Every year we talk up our youth players and most of them end up doing fuck all. We're not alone here, not many make it an any top club usually. Maybe this batch will buck the trend.

We've definitely got the manager for it, trust Klopp 100% to get the best out of any of them

If anything he's hit it too well.

Priskin...you need a bit of that.

Pepe will be disappointed with his own reaction, he isn't that type of that lad.

France v Luxembourg is hilarious. 0:0 then Luxembourg hit the post.

Catastrophic performance from France, heroic from Luxembourg.

and catastrophic for anyone with an acca on.

Didier Deschamps has defended his players after a shock scoreless draw at home to Luxembourg this evening.

 

''I thought we were absolutely outstanding. We showed magnificent character out there tonight but just lacked that wee bit of luck in the final third.'

I see La Liga has written to UEFA asking them to investigate Man City for breach of FFP. Now there is no doubting they have a point on the ridiculous amounts of money being spent by the likes of PSG and City, but it is rather ironic considering the amount they themselves and the likes of Real, Man U and Chelsea etc have spent over the years, bitter bastards.

The Spanish football league has written to Uefa to ask for an investigation into whether Manchester City have broken financial fair play rules.

European football's governing body is already investigating if Paris St-Germain have broken the rules, designed to stop clubs from 'financial doping'.

La Liga president Javier Tebas said City and PSG's "funding by state-aid distorts European competitions and creates an inflationary spiral that is irreparably harming the football industry".

City and PSG spent hundreds of millions of pounds on new players this summer.

PSG have been owned by the Gulf state of Qatar, via its Qatar Sports Investments fund, since 2011.

They more than doubled the world record transfer fee when they spent 222m euros (£200m) to sign Neymar last month, before adding Kylian Mbappe on loan from Monaco, a deal that is expected to be made permanent for £165.7m in 2018.

Manchester City's summer spend of £215m was the biggest by any club in any transfer window.

The Premier League club was bought by The Abu Dhabi United Group in 2008.

La Liga - tirando los juguetes del cochecito de niño.

[Gym Beglin]

Bit mischevous from La Liga that.

 

They're worried about the status of La Liga and the drop in income.

 

They've lost Neymar, will probably soon lose Messi, and the box office players like Coutinho, MBappe, Lemar, Pogba, Mane, Dybala, Gabriel Jesus, Aguero, Hazard, are out of their reach.

 

The tax situation doesn't help their cause much either.  

[Lee909]

Funny dont remember them crying during tbe galacticos era.

 

Or when local authorities sorted Real out

[dylstar]

Representatives of the 20 Premier League clubs will meet to discuss the possibility of introducing 7.45pm kick-off times on Saturdays...........fuck off !!!

Didn't stop Barcelona from accepting a shirt sponsorship deal from partially state-funded Qatar Foundation for €170 million a few years ago. This was before Man City's owners threw the over-valued Etihad sponsorship deal at their club (money that basically comes from the UAE government directly, considering the blurred lines between private and state-owned in that country), and before the Qatari's went in hard for PSG. Of course, Barcelona were the best team in the world back then so it was acceptable.
