[echo ore]

Alright mina is replaced

Since 2015 he's only missed one game and it wasn't even injury

Covid related

Time to get a striker

[rancid umbra]

You know what's going to happen now, right?

[echo ore]

he lives happily ever after

[rancid umbra]

I was going to say broken leg first training session, but that could happen too

He suits the everton kit tbf

[dark flare]

wtf is that giant sticker on the sleeve

@safe schooner so what you're basically saying

prem is a farmers league?

[safe schooner]

yea

[dark flare]

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[safe schooner]

all their best players are from other leagues

[dark flare]

How does that make it a farmers league?

the best players go to the best league in the world.

aka the prem

[safe schooner]

The only reason is for the money

[rancid umbra]

Right, and

[safe schooner]

soon the premier league will fall off

[rancid umbra]

Considering the amount of money the prem pulls in, it won't

[safe schooner]

looks like la liga will probably be next

[rancid umbra]

No chance

[dark flare]

he supports a team from a league that is literal farmers league

[rancid umbra]

One of the biggest clubs in La Liga is about to fold, Real should probably walk it this year, and Atletico aren't the force they used to be

[dark flare]

a team that is guaranteed to win the title of that league each season

[safe schooner]

and u support a team that has an empty trophy case

[rancid umbra]

Manchester United's trophy case is far from empty, but we move

[dark flare]

hes talking to me

[rancid umbra]

Wait who do you support hutch

[safe schooner]

Bayern

[rancid umbra]

Aaaaah and you're calling the prem a farmer's league?

[dark flare]

my point

lol

[safe schooner]

yea cuz they dont produce talent

they have to outsource it

[dark flare]

don't we?

[safe schooner]

from leagues like the bundesliga

[dark flare]

kane?

the player your team really want

[safe schooner]

LMFAO

[rancid umbra]

Sterling?

[dark flare]

yeah sterling

ramsdale?

[rancid umbra]

Ramsdale atm is a monster

[safe schooner]

is

is that it

[rancid umbra]

I mean are we talking solely modern day or do you want us to go back in time

[safe schooner]

modern day

[dark flare]

mount

[rancid umbra]

Fairs

[dark flare]

but hes eh

saka

[rancid umbra]

Kyle Walker, Phil Foden, Mason Mount, John Stones

[dark flare]

Emile Smith Rowe

[rancid umbra]

I hate amount of City players I just listed

Smith rowe is eh

Saka

[dark flare]

i would say jude

[rancid umbra]

Bellingham is a monster

Harry Winks

[dark flare]

sancho

[rancid umbra]

Sancho's fallen off recently, same with Rashford

But when those two are on top of their game, yeah

[dark flare]

winks would boss it in the Bundesliga

[rancid umbra]

Greenwood prior to the allegations

[dark flare]

well tbh

sancho form could be blamed on the club situation

[rancid umbra]

Same with Rashford really, club's a shambles

Luke Shaw in continental football

Don't know why but the lad hits different on the international stage

[dark flare]

shaw is pure talent england produced

he does

its a bit like pickford

hes good

but internationally even better

[rancid umbra]

And then going back you've got Gerrard, lampard, scholes, Rooney, Terry, Ferdinand, both Coles

Beckham, etc.
The prem has - and still is - producing unreal amounts of talent

Hell, Ronaldo was developed into the player he is in the prem, same with pogba and lukaku

[dark flare]

and the talent we want to get game time and get experience before they hit the big stage that is the prem we send them off to Bundesliga etc

[rancid umbra]

The man might have a trampoline for a first touch but he's a top level forward

[dark flare]

its a shame he flopped at chelsea

but that is down to tuchel ball

[rancid umbra]

That and he shot his chelsea stint in the foot by talking about inter

[rancid umbra]

Have we listed enough for you?

Because you also have the likes of KDB who came through the chelsea academy

....I really wish I could stop listinf city players

[dark flare]

lma

o

skipp is a shout for talent produced at prem tbh

hes class

rice

[rancid umbra]

How did we forget Rice

[safe schooner]

Imma be honest ive kinda moved on, im not too big into football and i have to do a project rn

[rancid umbra]

Lmao ok ok

[dark flare]

i mean

you claimed prem produces no talent

we proved that wrong

now ppl that have come from leagues like bundesliga and flopped in prem

is quite a big list too

[rancid umbra]

I mean in the previous five finals, 6 english teams have been involved

The prem isn't dropping off any time soon

[echo ore]

Bayern fan salty because their best prospect is Canadian

[rancid umbra]

Idk Jamal Musiala is a potential monster

You can tell I've played far too much football manager

[echo ore]

Alphonso davies is a monster

[rancid umbra]

Distinctly mid

[dark flare]

haven't played that in a while, last time i did was a month ago and last game winks scored 2

[echo ore]

Fantasy* Manager

[dark flare]

whats your guys on Bryan Gil

opinion^*

[rancid umbra]

Fantasy sounds about right because Everton got European football

Haven't seen too much of him, meant to be a solid prospect?

[dark flare]

nick who do you support

[rancid umbra]

Manchester United

But we don't talk about it

[dark flare]

come on now you cant banter everton atm

[rancid umbra]

I mean

We can

[echo ore]

Technically we're ahead of you in the table

[rancid umbra]

We've fully accepted our banter era

[dark flare]

bryan is brilliant young player BUT imo he needs to beef up a little for the prem

he'd get murdered in it

[echo ore]

You gave up more goals against Brighton at home than we did to chelsea

[rancid umbra]

Yes but you're forgetting one thing

We're shit

[echo ore]

Chelsea is worse than Brighton also tbf

[dark flare]

dont say that

[rancid umbra]

People sleep on Brighton yknow
They're a class side

[dark flare]

we play them next week they'll slaughter us 5-0 like they do at their ground

[rancid umbra]

Who just rinsed chelsea of 60m for Cucurella

[dark flare]

imagine being rinsed by brighton

and not stealing one of their best players really cheap

[rancid umbra]

Like he's a solid player, but idk if he's worth 60m

[dark flare]

if we was

city would have met that price

lol

[rancid umbra]

Plus Brighton will find some random for a fraction of the price, bring him in and he'll do just as good a job

[dark flare]

we got Bissouma on a steal tho

[rancid umbra]

How much did you pay them for Bissouma

[dark flare]

25ish mill i think

might even be lower

nvm

30mill in add ons

[rancid umbra]

Decent signing

Is that 30m extra or total

[dark flare]

total

[rancid umbra]

Decent

[dark flare]

only thing i will say

[rancid umbra]

Although I doubt you'll get any money from the Alli to Everton deal

[dark flare]

i think we overpaid just a notch for evertons best player

[rancid umbra]

If he doesn't pick up he'll be benched and sold in Jan

I mean Richarlison is probably worth it

[dark flare]

its past dele imo

[echo ore]

Blame raphina for that tbf

[rancid umbra]

I'd have taken Richarlison at United

[dark flare]

as a spurs fan i hope dele finds his old form for everton

[rancid umbra]

Barcelona are making me laugh atm

[echo ore]

Considering richy outplays him on Brazil he had to carry similar price tag

[rancid umbra]

They've signed 5 new players and can't register a single one atm

[dark flare]

its fine jesus going to bench richarlison for brazil now

according to many

[echo ore]

Eh fifa will be bribed

[rancid umbra]

With what money 👀

[dark flare]

i thought they did register

all of them

[rancid umbra]

No, they can't register them

[echo ore]

Messis lost taxes

[rancid umbra]

They're not allowed until they reduce their wage bill, which is already over their salary cap

[dark flare]

they also threatened de Jong with legal action

[rancid umbra]

Dramatically over

They threatening to sue him because they owe him money?

[echo ore]

Legally they'd lose every case

[rancid umbra]

I thought our banter era was bad

Legally speaking they can't touch De Jong

[echo ore]

Unless they frame him for breaching contract

[rancid umbra]

Especially when they're refusing to pay him owed wages after splashing over 50m on Raphina

[dark flare]

Barcelona have told Frenkie de Jong they want to annul his existing contract and return to the deal he was on before, alleging the terms given to him by the club’s previous board involved criminality and provide grounds for legal action against those involved

[rancid umbra]

Aye but given their spending and failure to pay missing wages, that argument would hold as much water as a sieve

Yeah but then they have to prove that

And if they do it still leaves the club itself in hot water

[dark flare]

idk how they do it tho

supposed to be in debt cant buy anyone

but they do every window

[rancid umbra]

FFP amirite

[dark flare]

i am glad we got emerson out of the prison that is Barcelona

[rancid umbra]

Bordeaux were relegated to the bottom division for being 30m in debt, Barca there vibing with tenfold that

[dark flare]

what even is barcas debt

[rancid umbra]

What's Barcelona's debt now?

[echo ore]

I wish everyone could just sell "assets"

I'm sure those are all perfectly legitimate

[dark flare]

Barcelona debt reached a reported $1.32 billion.

[rancid umbra]

So 40x that of Bordeaux's

Roughly

[dark flare]

you see what they smacked on kessies contract

[echo ore]

Tbf that team did spend 100m on coutinho

[rancid umbra]

True

And didn't they drop another 80m or something on Malcolm

41m, nvm

[dark flare]

also

didnt barca sell future tv rights

or something like that

[echo ore]

What's that even mean

Genuinely don't know

Since when do clubs sell tv rights to providers

[dark flare]

Barcelona have sold another 15% of their La Liga television rights to a US investment firm to release finances which will strengthen their hand in the transfer market.

[rancid umbra]

Buuuut they still can't register any of the signed players because they're over their salary cap

[dark flare]

this was for the next 25 years

so yeah

[rancid umbra]

Oof, they spent 23m on Neto

[echo ore]

But like what does this entail. La Liga games were already televised under a provider. Why would barces stake matter

[rancid umbra]

108m on Griezman

[echo ore]

Are we saying teams could opt out of being televised?

[plucky nimbus]

They owe money to Bordeaux apparently lol

[rancid umbra]

I heard yeah

[dark flare]

also this

[rancid umbra]

Must have been a sell on clause or something

[dark flare]

Barcelona were so desperate to satisfy LaLiga's financial fair play rules this summer that they bought their own TV rights future revenue from themselves, and tried to declare the deal as new income.

[echo ore]

That's fraudulent

[rancid umbra]

It's a bold strategy

[echo ore]

[plucky nimbus]

Crazy they haven’t payed the transfer money for Malcom when his move was a while back

[dark flare]

Spanish radio station Cope revealed the perfectly legal manoeuvre and confirmed that LaLiga did not accept the artificially-inflated declared income, leaving the club still trying to find ways to register all their new signings.

[rancid umbra]

Crazy how they're allowed to get away with it

[rancid umbra]

Aptly named radio station

[plucky nimbus]

Barcelona think they’re entitled to everything tbh

[dark flare]

The club sold 25 per cent of future TV rights but there was a difference of opinion when it came to declaring how much money they had raised from it. They declared €667million (£562m) but LaLiga only accepted €517m (£435m).

Twenty-five per cent of Barca's future TV rights income were sold to Locksley with Sixth Street paying €517m (£435m) for them for the next 25 years and Barca paying €150m (£126m) to buy them back in 25 years time.

[plucky nimbus]

That’s cause of the players they bought apparently

Just remember seeing that not sure how reliable that source was tho

[rancid umbra]

So really they're getting less than 300m from that deal

Well, roughly 300m

[dark flare]

i wonder what Barcelona will do next

[rancid umbra]

Fold, hopefully

[dark flare]

ik you can get married in their stadium now

thats a new thing they're doing

[plucky nimbus]

We’ll get rid of some players but they’ll have to spend some money

[dark flare]

issue is

[plucky nimbus]

The de jong situation is also a mess

[dark flare]

do ppl really want to buy from barcelona

barcelona players are basically hostages

[rancid umbra]

I mean even if they liquidated all their assets, they'd barely have enough to cover their debt

[dark flare]

like

[rancid umbra]

And that's basing it all on the market value of the players (which no one would pay) ignoring loyalty bonuses etc. That would have to be paid out

[dark flare]

i think manu should avoid de jong

[plucky nimbus]

Well they’ve got good young players but they might wanna wait or take advantage of the situation

[rancid umbra]

The thing with De Jong is, he's exactly the player United need

[plucky nimbus]

Declare bankruptcy ezpz

[dark flare]

yeah but too much time is being spent on it

[rancid umbra]

In declaring bankruptcy Barcelona would probably cease to be the entity it is, and would have to start again in the footballing pyramid

[plucky nimbus]

They need a bit more than him lol defender would be nice for em

[rancid umbra]

Yeah but if he's that missing piece it's worth

[dark flare]

barcelona re just keeping him hostage he supposedly wants to stay the whole situation is just fucked

[plucky nimbus]

Ye ig

[rancid umbra]

Get Varane fit, bench maguire

Plus half the problem is that McFred is disastrous when it comes to defending

[dark flare]

btw

https://twitter.com/David_Ornstein

this guy is very reliable for football news

[rancid umbra]

I think I'd rather have a McNugget defending than those two

[dark flare]

its how i heard about the legal action threat from barca

[dark flare]

that juve midfielder you're being linked with

would you take him

[echo ore]

They already sold pogba smh

[dark flare]

forgot the guys name

[rancid umbra]

Rabiot?

[dark flare]

yes

[hot stag]

mckennie?

[dark flare]

him

[rancid umbra]

It hasn't really worked out for him at Juve, so really not sure

[echo ore]

The American

[dark flare]

yeah but you say that

[rancid umbra]

Can't be any worse than the last baguette we got from Juve

[dark flare]

look at the 2 players we got from juve

[hot stag]

fr

[dark flare]

everyone said they'll be flops and even juve fans didnt rate them

[rancid umbra]

Who was the other

I remember Kulusevski or however you spell it

[dark flare]

bentancur

[echo ore]

Surely united finished if they need one of us to save their midfield

[rancid umbra]

Classic FM transfer that one was

[dark flare]

kulusexy

[rancid umbra]

There are some class American players tbf

Like erm

That Landon Donavon guy

[echo ore]

I know. Aaronson is a baller

Tyler adams also

[rancid umbra]

He's meant to be decent

[hot stag]

pulisic

[rancid umbra]

Gio Reyna

[echo ore]

Arsenal and Chelsea just bought young American keepers also

[rancid umbra]

Issue is with United though that ETH wants an orchestrator that can defend as his holding mid

And outside of De Jong, who else is there?

[hot stag]

martinez can play there i think

[dark flare]

come take winks of us

[rancid umbra]

You can keep winks

[dark flare]

tanguy

[hot stag]

even fred better

[dark flare]

take that lazy fuck too

[rancid umbra]

Ndombele would be the Pogba problem

[hot stag]

mans another pogba

[rancid umbra]

Only does it when it suits him

And about half as good tbf

[echo ore]

Winks or Billy gilmour

[hot stag]

billy gilmore tbh

[dark flare]

winks cause i hate scottish ppl

[rancid umbra]

Gilmour has potential but he's not ready yet imo

Isn't Winks English

[dark flare]

he is

[rancid umbra]

Oh nvm ignore me

Also the Scottish are great wym

[echo ore]

Nathan Patterson looks solid

[rancid umbra]

Who

[dark flare]

bissouma couldn't get number 8 cause winks wont fuck off

[echo ore]

Our new right back

Next Seamus

[hot stag]

which club?

[echo ore]

Everton

[hot stag]

oh ok

[dark flare]

who saw that sarr goal

for watford

who knows anything about Destiny Udogie btw

[hot stag]

that was a great goal

[hot stag]

ive heard hes solid and has good potential

[dark flare]

because we've signed him

but he'll stay on loan at his current club

[hot stag]

he come next session

season*

[dark flare]

Hey nick, if you're still around who you got in your top 4?

[hot stag]

i got city liv arsenal spurs

cld also be chelsea tho

[dark flare]

city liverpool spurs arsenal

it takes 2 injuries for arsenal to be fucked

[rancid umbra]

The man can score from 50 yards but not 12

Unreal

[rancid umbra]

What I'd like it to be or what I think it will be?

[dark flare]

what you think it will be

[rancid umbra]

That's tough

1. City
2. Chelsea
3. Liverpool
4. Arsenal / Spurs

Really can't decide on 4th

[dark flare]

putting chelsea second

god damn

i dont even think they break top 4

[rancid umbra]

I think Chelsea have strengthened really well

[dark flare]

eh, looked shit against everton tbh

[rancid umbra]

Still got a win when playing poorly

[echo ore]

Looked terrible

[dark flare]

if it wasn't for that pen

[echo ore]

And had to stall the game out at 45min

[rancid umbra]

Or was it a draw I can never remember

[echo ore]

And get a lucky pen

[dark flare]

that game was a draw

[rancid umbra]

Eh, no one wins when watching Everton

[echo ore]

Everton were more exciting to watch

[dark flare]

i hope we batter chelsea this week

[rancid umbra]

Nah I think they'll really pick up over the season

[dark flare]

not wrong tho

tuchel ball is 🛌

[echo ore]

Again chelsea were given yellows for time wasting on throw ins

Against everton

[rancid umbra]

Everton would be solid mid-table if the busiest bit of the training ground wasn't the physio's office

[dark flare]

i still think

you're giving chelsea too much credit

[rancid umbra]

Idk

[dark flare]

tuchel will be sacked

come end of this season

[rancid umbra]

They have quality all through the team

I don't think Liverpool have strengthened that well and Fulham were unlucky not to win

[dark flare]

cause hes done what he does all the time

1 good season

then he goes to shit

[rancid umbra]

Absolutely gutted that Forest were battered

[dark flare]

liverpool were unlucky not to win you mean

pitch was too dry

[rancid umbra]

I hate Klopp with a passion

Everyone goes on about how he's the nicest guy in football but when one tiny thing doesn't go his way he moans for days

[dark flare]

i like him as a manger but the excuses he comes up with half the time

are a joke

[echo ore]

Still no striker

[dark flare]

liverpool dont win he finds something to blame

[rancid umbra]

Wym? Nuñez is the Uraguanian Andy Carroll

With the current hair you cannot convince me otherwise

[dark flare]

https://twitter.com/TrollFootball/status/1556697326567452672

[rancid umbra]

It pains me to say it but unless we get another couple through the door we'll struggle to get top 6

[echo ore]

You need like 6

[rancid umbra]

I mean we need our current players to give a shit

[dark flare]

i have manu just outside top6

in my predictions

[rancid umbra]

I love Ronaldo but the man needs to put up or fuck off

[dark flare]

1.City
2.liverpool
3.spurs
4.chelsea
5.arsenal
6.westham
7.manu
8.newcastle
9.villa
10.leicester
11.wolves
12.palace
13.fullham
14.brighton
15.forest
16.everton
17.southampton
18.brentford
19.leeds
20.bournemouth

[rancid umbra]

Leeds will be better I reckon

Leicester will be lower than 10th

[dark flare]

reality i think chelsea 5th

only put them above arsenal cause fuck arsenal

[rancid umbra]

Leicester might be in real danger this year tbf

They haven't bought anyone in and have gotten rid of a few

Schmiechel being one

[dark flare]

not wrong tho

[echo ore]

Leeds were fun to watch

[dark flare]

they threw away a 2-0 lead at weekend

💀

[rancid umbra]

Gerrard's overrated as fuck

Villa could struggle

[dark flare]

some teams i put lower in me saying to myself

i hope they prove me wrong

[rancid umbra]

I hope forest pick up after the first few games

They struggled against Newcastle but I reckon that that's partly to do with the fact it's still a very new squad

Look at Fulham a couple seasons back, it'll probably be the same thing

[dark flare]

love fullham

they made klopp blame the pitch

[echo ore]

Did you see their Twitter

[dark flare]

yes

[echo ore]

[dark flare]

bissouma was on a treadmill 2 hours ago

mad man

[hot stag]

klopp blames everything

he gonna blame the wind next

[rancid umbra]

How long until Klopp blames the shade of blue on city's kit?

"I think we played well but the boys were dazzled by that shade of sky blue, but we were unlucky"

Thought you'd like this

[rancid umbra]

All the best signing vids mean the player flops 😂

Sanchez, for example

Wonderful, we've missed Sesko who had moved to Leipzig and pulled out of the deal for arnautovic

So we are back-up strikerless

So unless Greenwood gets acquitted we got nothing

[echo ore]

Acquitted

[rancid umbra]

It's been a year, I don't think they have anything on him

Like surely he would have been formally charged by now

[echo ore]

Not when there's money involved

[dark flare]

tbh

hes guilty

dude should stay away from footy

or if he comes back to it i hope someone snaps his legs in a game

[rancid umbra]

If he was guilty it would have proceeded by now

[dark flare]

hes not coming back from it

either way

them recordings and everything is enough for no one to like him

[rancid umbra]

Not defending him if he is guilty in any way, but if he's innocent then he has every right to come back

If he's guilty he deserves the book and the entire weight of the law thrown at him

[dark flare]

now sure if he did it in another country like partey, he would have got away w it

[spare yacht]

even if he's innocent from a court perspective, if you're guilty in the public eye it might be enough for teams to avoid signing him

[rancid umbra]

I mean Marcos Alonso's a murderer but no one brings that up 👀

[dark flare]

he plays for chelsea

[rancid umbra]

Just depends on how United handle it

[dark flare]

the most toxic fan base in the league

of course you never hear of it, they' accept racists etc

[rancid umbra]

True

[dark flare]

but on partey he got away with similar to greenwood

because uk police couldn't do a thing due to a law

didnt greenwood get his contract terminated?

[rancid umbra]

No, still a United player if memory serves

Nike terminated their sponsorship of him

[dark flare]

hes on bail

that all ik

[rancid umbra]

I reckon though it wouldn't be as hard for him to come back as it used to br, especially if he's gets acquitted

Been on bail for about a year now

[dark flare]

police will milk as much money from this as they can

[rancid umbra]

Ofc

[dark flare]

then it'll be revealed whats happening

[echo ore]

If it only cost 500k for Alonso to pay off being a murderer surely can't be that much

Legally it's a unintentional killing

[rancid umbra]

But you've got to bear in mind the current climate with the results of the Depp Heard trial

Might make people more willing to accept he might be innocent

Could be worse, he could be Gylfi 👀

[echo ore]

Well accept heard didn't have a video evidence

[dark flare]

our fans chant when alonso plays

"Marcos Alonso he killed a girl"

[rancid umbra]

You and I both know evidence can be faked

Especially with bruise kits that came out 2 years after the alleged incident

[spare yacht]

also consider the deshaun watson scenario. people are not in the mood to let people off lightly right now

[rancid umbra]

The what now?

[echo ore]

Except if you're the NFL

[echo ore]

Football player with like 25 SA allegations

[spare yacht]

yeah no kidding

[rancid umbra]

Christ

[spare yacht]

not one, not two, but TWENTY FIVE counts of sexual assault, and the nflpa argued for a 0 game suspension

now obviously, they represent the players and that's their job

[echo ore]

But no technical legal actions

[spare yacht]

but like...give me a fucking break lol

[rancid umbra]

He trying to collect as many as possible or something?

[spare yacht]

Nope

[main panther]

If he didnt start doing drugs he could of kept winning

[dark flare]

True

[gritty pasture]

@dark flare what do you think of maradonas 1994 world cup performance

[dark flare]

Great

Until he got banned for no fucking reason

[main panther]

If he won it then good

[gritty pasture]

[dark flare]

What do you think about messi 2014 world cup performace

jit missed 2 times in the fucking final

[gritty pasture]

runner up aint bad

[main panther]

Rip

Pele or maradona

[dark flare]

pele is kinda over rated tbh

[main panther]

Brazil is overated

[dark flare]

Nah

Classic brazil will be the best team ever in history

this guy has to be the most stupidest person ive ever seen

[dark flare]

Who

You

you're saying someone that cheated their way to a world cup is better than the best modern day footballer?

💀

He didnt cheat

he hit it with his head not his hand

tf

"hand of god"

Anyways messi hand balled also

It's blatant your a troll but come on now

you're either mentally fucked or just under the age of 12

@rancid umbra kessie and Christensen could leave on a free if they're not registered by Saturday, you reckon they'll register them somehow?

A what now

Lmao

[dark flare]

Sorry sweetie

Bit weird buddy, don't know how that's sport related

[main panther]

Have u looked up if it has ever happened in its club history?

If so then it’s possible

[dark flare]

Wym

[main panther]

If they couldn’t register a player on time

[dark flare]

It hasn't no, but Barcelona are in massive trouble financially

[main panther]

Then nah i think they good then

[dark flare]

They need to sell to register new players

They need to raise funds somehow

So gl to that corrupt club lol

r9 IS GOAT!

WAY BETTER THAN MESSI!

[main panther]

As long as they still alive then they can do it

[dark flare]

You don't see to understand the situation Barcelona are in

[main panther]

I do lmao

But its literally barcelona

[dark flare]

Yh it is, but they're struggling to raise the runs currently

They have 2 days

[main panther]

Impossible they will let something like that ruin their image

[dark flare]

Their image is already ruined

[main panther]

Bro even if they dont sign them they have backup lmao

[dark flare]

They don't register them

They've wasted money on them

Signed then couldn't register them

Then they'll leave on a free

[main panther]

Oh well i dont rlly care lmao

[fluid jay]

e

@dark flare is so rude, framer, and annoying

[dark flare]

Ok, who asked? Can partycrown play attacking mid?

[fluid jay]

rude

why people so mean in this group?

[dark flare]

It's not rude

[fluid jay]

😦

[dark flare]

Like genuinely who asked

[fluid jay]

okay whatever, saying "who asked" isnt rude anymore i guess lol

[dark flare]

Are you here to talk about sport

[fluid jay]

im say a statement, not answering any questions

[dark flare]

Are you?

[fluid jay]

?

[fluid jay]

oh

[dark flare]

I take that as a no

Brazil is dogshit ever since 7-1

Lol he wanted to talk trash behind my back and it didn’t work lmaoo

[main panther]

Copa Finalissma & Copa America or Copa America, 2 Olympics

[dark flare]

Pretty shitty coming from a team with 5 world cup wins

[main panther]

So Brazil> Argentina

[dark flare]

Yea

Absolutely

[main panther]

👍🏼

[grand sleet]

Soccer is shit

Football is goated

[solid zealot]

bruins in 8

[rancid umbra]

Unless De jong moves, no

But they won't be able to register anyone until they free up a LOT of wayes

Which is why they're trying to shift Auba as well

[stuck storm]

HELLO

[rancid umbra]

See if clubs were smart they wouldn't take any players off of barca, that way they'd still have to pay wages, but would be unable to register players for the league

They'd be stuck with a huge wage bill they can't cover, be forced to go into admin, then everyone gets a load of players on the cheap!

[marble hollow]

rnj

[main panther]

Ur a menace to society

[rancid umbra]

They put themselves in that mess, it'd be a smart and effective way to get top class players on the cheap

[echo ore]

People do that to relegated sides all the time. I'd 100% be doin it to barce

[rancid umbra]

Like 67m for De Jong now? Or wait until like January until Barca have folded and yoink for ridiculously cheap

and then you have whole raft of talent to scavenge then

[fluid jay]

not really because someone

was being mean and blocked me from the other chat so no not really

this was like the only open chat

[waxen belfry]

guys

[shy crown]

What

I will be your friend.

🫂

[crisp ibex]

how, plz explain this logic

@grand sleet

[grand sleet]

Because football is goated 🫡

[crisp ibex]

how does that make the most popular, globally played sport shit

[weak river]

Who did their fantasy drafts?

I did mine sunday, idk how to feel

i have another draft coming up this weekend

[echo ore]

The real fantasy draft

[copper apex]

im watching the falcons vs faze clan vod.....wth is Sypical's car???

[hot stag]

richarlison is a bad choice

go for jesus instead

[echo ore]

Nope

[hot stag]

richarlison wont be starting for us

it will be kane son kulu

[dark flare]

fellow tottenham fan

🤝

but

it depends how conte sets the team up honestly

[echo ore]

I bet all 4 play

One becomes more of a 10 and runs off Kane

[hot stag]

ayyyy

[echo ore]

I'd play a traditional 4 2 3 1.
3 would be Richy, Son, Kulu.
Kane in front of them

It'll be my neutral fifa team in 23

[livid breach]

stop inviting

[dark flare]

very rare conte leaves his back 3 tho

[echo ore]

With that front 4 you can play a back 5 that never steps past half

[dark flare]

i wanna see bissouma play vs chelsea

butttttttttttt

he'll stick to the bentancur and Højbjerg

[humble knoll]

You must’ve smashed it this week mate😅

[echo ore]

Oh no I was shit first week...I played my wildcard for that

I did not watch everyone's pre season but after the first weekend I have a better idea

[humble knoll]

ohhh that’s ur game week 2 team I thought that was ur team for game week 1

[echo ore]

Much better starting point

Nah game week 1 was meh

[humble knoll]

i got around 80 points but I’m gutted because I couldn’t decide between Kane or haaland and I chose Kane and it backfired

[echo ore]

Chelsea looked like shit so those were wasted picks

[frosty patio]

What do you guys think about Falcons

[dark flare]

trash

[peak mortar]

😭

[radiant atlas]

They play really well tbh

[hushed summit]

its because someone called it soccer

[hushed summit]

It got 69 points

[hushed summit]

Still a decent haul of points bro

[wind wind]

Chelsea have never played against dortmund competitively

[rancid umbra]

Seems irrelevant

[cunning owl]

I got like 82 points

if i put zinchenko i wouldve been in top 3 💀

[ember elbow]

Mahrez will score hatrick tomorrow , ( private source )

Half an hour and you come back with that, good effort bud

[torpid osprey]

you think you sound so cool lmao

[dense laurel]

Who won Nrg vs renegades? I wasn't able to watch

[dark flare]

@rancid umbra

they fucking did it

OFFICIAL: Barcelona have registered Robert Lewandowski, Franck Kessié, Andreas Christensen and Raphinha for the upcoming La Liga season

[rancid umbra]

Who?

Oh barca?

Aye but they sold off another good chunk of their TV rights

[dark flare]

tru

but still they did it

[torpid osprey]

nrg 4 renegades 2

[dark flare]

so they keep them prisoner for the rest of their career

[dark flare]

wrong channel ya fucken nerd

#esports

[rancid umbra]

Wasting your breath bud

[dark flare]

go talk about your finger sports in there

[dense laurel]

lmao why you so mad

[rancid umbra]

I don't think De Jong wants to leave Barca

[torpid osprey]

he asked it in this channel ya fucking idiot

[dark flare]

he don't, but barca want him gone

[rancid umbra]

Aye but there's literally an #esports channel

[torpid osprey]

tell him that

[pale current]

I wasn't even in the wrong channel i was just starting it as a sports discussion lmao

[dark flare]

or if he wants to stay, they want him to take a 25% paycut i think it was

[rancid umbra]

It's an esports discussion tho

I mean they're trying to get his contract ammended by force

[torpid osprey]

go back to watching soccer

[pale current]

i just said EU > NA how is it an esports discussion

[torpid osprey]

the most mid sport

[dark flare]

Watches hockey

💀

[rancid umbra]

You then said ssg clapped endpoint, which means contextually speaking, it's an esports discussion

[pale current]

hockey > soccer

[torpid osprey]

ong

[echo ore]

NHL might be smaller than the MLS now

[dark flare]

hockey is only popular in one country

[rancid umbra]

NHL is tiny tbf

[echo ore]

And that's saying something

[dark flare]

while football is popular world wife

wide*

[pale current]

only real men play hockey unlike soccer

[torpid osprey]

fr

[rancid umbra]

Real men play rugby

[dark flare]

^

[torpid osprey]

u got no idea what ur talking about lmao

[pale current]

soccer= actors playing on the field

[torpid osprey]

fax

[rancid umbra]

Rugby players are a different breed

[dark flare]

in my country i know no one that talks about hockey

in fact

[echo ore]

No one talks about hockey in general

[dark flare]

it doesn't even pop up in any discussions

[pale current]

i'm in EU and hockey is huge here (switzerland)

[torpid osprey]

soccer is popular for all the lazy people around the world

[echo ore]

That's not eu

[echo ore]

Makes 0 sense

[torpid osprey]

they walk 89 out of 90 minutes

[dark flare]

yeah that makes 0 sense

[rancid umbra]

But back to Barca, they're still looking to bring Bernardo Silva in, so they need to sell FDJ

[dark flare]

walk 💀

[echo ore]

Considering hockey has unlimited subs

[dark flare]

dont you just slide in hockey

[torpid osprey]

don’t you just walk in soccer?

[rancid umbra]

'soccer' has some of the most athletic people in the world

[echo ore]

The game stops if the puck goes too far without anyone touching it

[torpid osprey]

same for soccer

[dark flare]

soccer you walk run jog

mostly jogging/running tho

[echo ore]

Mate the rink is closed in

[rancid umbra]

[pale current]

soccer became more and more unsportsmanlike every year with people wasting time and faking dives especially people like neymar.

[echo ore]

Like imagine having literally walls...and if it goes too far there's a stoppage

[dark flare]

what's everyones score predictions for the prem games this weekend

[rancid umbra]

See in Rugby they stop the timer when the ball's out of play

Idek the games tbf

[dark flare]

this shows how little you know

[rancid umbra]

We're playing away at Brentford and tbh I can't see us doing well

[echo ore]

No one can @rancid umbra

[torpid osprey]

shows how overconfident u are in a shitty sport

[echo ore]

[dark flare]

??

[pale current]

it's all I needed to know

[echo ore]

Doesn't even make sense

[rancid umbra]

Shush you're going to get battered by Villa

[dark flare]

i doubt that

[echo ore]

0 chance

[dark flare]

villa are shit

lol

villa are highly overrated

[rancid umbra]

Literally the biggest, most valuable sport in the world

[dark flare]

false

thats tennis

[pale current]

to get away from soccer n hockey let's talk about UFC , another sport for real men.

[rancid umbra]

How many people watch tennis finals vs. European finals?

[torpid osprey]

wimbledon is hella popular

[rancid umbra]

But any way, score predictions

[dark flare]

ufc is boring

[rancid umbra]

Just to spite Dals, Everton getting battered 5-0

[echo ore]

Jinxing united I see

[rancid umbra]

Areenal 3-1 Leicester
Brighton 2-2 Newcastle
City 5-0 Bournemouth
Southampton 1-2 Leeds

[rancid umbra]

I can actually see everton winning 2-0 or something tbf

Forest 1-3 West Ham
Chelsea 1-4 Spurs
Liverpool 1-1 Palace

[dark flare]

funny enough, when football fans argue they use fists

we wont pull out a glock or a knife

[pale current]

i wish that was the case in every single case

[rancid umbra]

I wonder how much this would bag me on an acca

[dark flare]

4-1 to us?

[rancid umbra]

That's what it says

[dark flare]

i see us losing just because its at the bridge form goes out the window

[rancid umbra]

Chelsea look awful

[pale current]

imagine expecting fists and the guy pulls a credit card giving you a "chelsea smile"

[dark flare]

yeah but look at last season, chelsea were having a bad run of games we go to their ground they batter us

[rancid umbra]

Forest being at the City Ground I reckon they could flip that, because when that crowd get going it is loud in there

But West Ham should be too good for them

[dark flare]

if anything i see us winning 2-0

or

1-1

[rancid umbra]

Nah I reckon it'll be a blow out one way or the other

Kane trick

If all of these come through I'll be raging O didn't put a fiver on it

[pale current]

anyone kno a good website where i can watch (legally ofcourse kappa)

[rancid umbra]

Depends where you are

[dark flare]

kulusexy will score

one of them mean curls he does

[rancid umbra]

Nah, Kane trick and then richi for 4

[dark flare]

also can we talk about

[rancid umbra]

No

[dark flare]

how the fuck nunez got nominated for ballon d'or

[rancid umbra]

Nunez got nominated for ballon d'or??

LMAO

[dark flare]

yes

[rancid umbra]

I mean Benzema's winning it so it doesn't matter

[dark flare]

The nominees for the 2021/22 Men's Ballon d'Or:

Courtois
Leão
Nkunku
Salah
Kimmich
TAA
Viní Jr.
B. Silva
Díaz
Lewandowski
Mahrez
Casemiro
Son
Fabinho
Benzema
Maignan
Kane
Núñez
Foden
Mané
Haller
Modrić
Rüdiger
Ronaldo
KDB
Vlahović
VVD
Cancelo
Mbappé
Haaland

[pale current]

I wouldn't even attend if i was him lol

[rancid umbra]

Maignan also sneaking in there

[pale current]

Mbappe doesn't deserve it after such a weak penalty shootout in the europeans either

[dark flare]

Also

how is diaz in it too

????

[rancid umbra]

And haller

[dark flare]

and ronaldo

no offence but

[rancid umbra]

Foden's also eh

[dark flare]

he don't deserve it

[rancid umbra]

I get there 's hype but he plays for City who have stars everywhere

[dark flare]

kane too idk how he got nominated

son i get

[pale current]

they keep letting ronaldo hit the penalties in order to boost his stats it's a shame, rather than supporting the youth players.

[dark flare]

but if they nominated ronaldo and not messi

is a crime

[echo pine]

weeeeeeeeee

[dark flare]

its going to be between the real players

that won the cl

[pale current]

i'd love to see haaland win it one day ngl

[dark flare]

he will

if he leaves city in the future

[echo ore]

Top 3 probably gotta be Benzema, Salah, lewa

[dark flare]

tru

[rancid umbra]

I mean without Ronaldo United would have been even more mid table

That United team was shambolic

Still is but now it's total shambolic

[tawny dock]

Hala Madrid

[tawny dock]

If Eriksen didn’t go through what happened at the Euros, Man U would’ve been Goated

[rancid umbra]

Not sure how the two relate there

[tawny dock]

And if Ronaldo decided to stay under Ten Haag

[rancid umbra]

He's still there

[tawny dock]

That they would’ve won the CL

[tawny dock]

He’s asking to leave

Before pre-season even

[rancid umbra]

But has he left

[tawny dock]

Dunno

He demanded.

Not wanted

[rancid umbra]

How does Eriksen not having a heart attack mean United win the champions League?

Also he can demand all he wants, he's under contract

[tawny dock]

Nvm

[rancid umbra]

Nah explain it to me, I'm curious

[tawny dock]

Wdym I said NVM

[pale current]

maybe it was better that it happened at euros to eriksson since he got treatment immediatly

[rancid umbra]

Aye but I want to see your logic

[tawny dock]

Ok

[rancid umbra]

Because if he didn't have the heart attack he'd still be at inter

[tawny dock]

Lukaku “replaced” him

[rancid umbra]

Only reason he left is because he had a defib fitted which isn't allowed in the Serie A

[tawny dock]

What’s “defib fitted”?

@rancid umbra

[rancid umbra]

An electronic defibrillator

In case his heart stops again

[tawny dock]

Oh

Ok I see

[pale current]

appearantly that counts as doping in series A Kappa

[rancid umbra]

He has one implanted into his heart or around the area if memory seves

[tawny dock]

Look here is one thing Barca made then wrong move

They bought like 5 new players

Didn’t give De Jong his money

How unfair

[echo ore]

I mean legally they have to

[tawny dock]

They didn’t

[rancid umbra]

They'll have to give it to him one way or another

[tawny dock]

They bought Lewa, Raphina, Koundé, Kessié & Christiensen. And you don’t pay ur own player (Frenkie)

[rancid umbra]

They raised the funds for the players by selling half their tv rights

[rancid umbra]

Christiensen

[tawny dock]

Oh yeah thx

[rancid umbra]

Np

I mean it's bullshit that they're not in administration/ still functioning in the transfermarket

But ffp amirite

[tawny dock]

Ye

[rancid umbra]

Although FFP is over a period of 3 years and I'm sure there were probably allowances made due to covid

[tawny dock]

True.

[echo ore]

Maybe don't less messi leave on a free

So I call BS to the FFP because they've been struggling for years

[tawny dock]

Funny enough, Pogba left on a free. How can you sell such a good player but for free?! Man U, you’ve got some explanation to do.

Like wtf?

[rancid umbra]

Tell that to UEFA

Pogba was shit for United

[echo ore]

I tried

[rancid umbra]

I can count the amount of good games he had for them on one hand

[tawny dock]

Maybe this 21/22 season

[rancid umbra]

And the rest

[echo ore]

Was shit every season for united

[tawny dock]

After that stupid red card against Liverpool

[rancid umbra]

Pogba was awful for United. He didn't try at all

[tawny dock]

No

[echo ore]

Yes

[tawny dock]

Maybe

[tawny dock]

He scored a few volleys

[rancid umbra]

His best game was when he bought United back from being 2-0 down against City to winning 3-2

[tawny dock]

He was Goated at juve

[tawny dock]

True.

[rancid umbra]

I've scored a few 9s, doesn't makes me world-class all the time

[tawny dock]

I was even at the Etihad that day

[rancid umbra]

Very Stinson analogy, that one

[tawny dock]

(I live in Manchester)

I’m kinda a United guy and not a City dude

[rancid umbra]

And then compare how he played for France

Like ok different teams and styles, but for France he tried

[tawny dock]

Like that goal against Switzerland (the top bins)

[pale current]

u forgot the Kappa

SWITZERLAND got the worlds best goalkeeper tho atm ngl

[tawny dock]

Wdym?

[pale current]

with yan sommer

[tawny dock]

He saved Mbappé’s pen

[dark flare]

whatd i miss while i was gone

[tawny dock]

And Jorghino’s

[tawny dock]

A lot.

[rancid umbra]

If United get SMS through the door I think he'd be a really good signing

Don't know about Rabiot

[pale current]

yan sommer saved 80% of all penalties during the tourney which is nuts

[tawny dock]

I gotta give him credit for that

First, Mbappé. Second, Jorghino.

And Ramos (twice)

[pale current]

yeah i'm proud to be swiss we are often underestimated in soccer

[tawny dock]

I’m so mad at Ramos

[tawny dock]

Football*

Ur in a European country

In Europe, it’s football

[pale current]

true but the dumb muricans

[rancid umbra]

Pretty much everywhwre it's football

Literally just America

[tawny dock]

In North America, it’s stupid soccer (no offense)

[tawny dock]

And kinda Canada

[pale current]

SPORTS DISCUSSION BELONGS TO EUROPE NOW

[tawny dock]

The national team of Canada

[rancid umbra]

Eh Canada is America-lite

[tawny dock]

Is named “Canada Soccer”

[rancid umbra]

Hasn't got the guns and ammo dlc

[tawny dock]

Wdym…

[rancid umbra]

@echo ore I'm assuming I was right in saying that

You're closer to Canada than me

[pale current]

canada is endboss in hockey

[tawny dock]

So which country are you running for prime minister?

[tawny dock]

Yes

[rancid umbra]

Yes

[tawny dock]

Les Canadiens de Montréal ont gagné environ 24 Coupes Stanley

[echo ore]

I think its not in Australia also
