Ain't that the fucking truth

Can't believe Barcelona aren't lining up a bid too mind. Stewart is part of the Sunderland first 11 that could easily finish top 4 in the PL marra.

The replies are full of centrists complaining that now isn't the time and leftwingers revelling in it.
I really am kind of curious to see what happens when it comes to voting. This feels like the longest run up to a general election that I've ever experienced, and I guess that's because we've need the government to be removed since the day after it was voted in.

The general secretary of the Spanish Football Federation has asked UEFA to expel Spanish teams from the Champions League, Europa League and Conference competitions and also the Spanish National Team from qualifying for the World Cup, Euro Cup or Nations League. All this as a threat so that no one expels President Luis Rubiales.
The mother of Luis Rubiales has entered a church this morning and has locked herself in to start a hunger strike so that they do not expel her son from her.
It is a pity that you are not Spanish and you cannot enjoy this episode as we are doing.
What a country...
I read this as if it was a parody or over the top exaggeration... I'm starting to think it might be real. How can this be real

Was a clear as day red card indeed. I would have actually preferred that Isak wasn't fouled and had the chance to score, rather than Van Dijk being sent off.

I've been waiting for the good times to come for well over half a century. I hope you're right.
you're right, losing away to man city isn't a disgrace, it's perfectly valid though to be disappointed by the no show in the first half. yesterday was different, if disgrace is the wrong word, it should be replaced by pathetic, abject failure. they're not even that good.
Yesterday hurt but the day Liverpool are in the rear view mirror is coming. It'll be all the sweeter when it does come for how hard they tried to fight it off (and IMO they really are desperate to do so).

We shouldn't have needed to shithouse though. We had an hour with a goal and Man advantage l, and still lost. Something was well off today. We needed to be ruthless but just couldn't do it. And now it's Klopp 11 Howe 0.
Right, but apparently we've not quite worked out how to unlock elite level teams who are playing us as if we're an equal.

Eventually, we are going to go past Liverpool - nothing Klopp and his oversized gnashers can do about it. This really did remind me of the Newcastle of old, and it sucks but weirdly enough I think Andros Townsend made a decent point in the post-match. He noted that last season we would have shithoused the end of this game specifically to avoid this outcome, whereas this season we seemed to back ourselves to get a second.
So maybe this is partially the consequence of trying to realise ourselves as a stronger team in the end. It hurts tbf but this game matters a great fucking deal to Liverpool because us succeeding means them becoming upper midtable nothings.
We'll get there. Lots to learn from, but for my two cents this looked like a game where a shock result was achieved by an underdog, not a routine and expected victory for the better club.

Congrats man!

I'm really appreciating the club doing this media friendly stuff with the players tbh, it's nice to get a sense of the sort of people they are.

Not remotely weird to think an older man in a position of authority would take advantage of a young woman and lie about it.
For absolute clarity, you know I'm not saying that what you have outlined there is weird, right?

What's weird about this in particular is his claiming that she did...

PS2: There is one thing I have not understood. They say in one of the meetings that PRemier League prohibited team sponsors from companies that are related to club properties and that 19 Premier League teams signed it, but the reality is that Sela is owned by PIF as well.
I think they went on to say that this policy was rescinded but replaced with a 'fair market value' one. The same ownership one was a temporary emergency measure to fuck up our January window from memory.

Greenwood leaving Man United. The mackems are sniffing.
You'd think he would have to go abroad tbh - work on rehabilitating himself out of the British media spotlight. Hard to imagine any club in the land taking him at this point.

That is fucked up. So the poor woman scores the winning goal for her country in a world cup final, she's a national hero, and her memory of that moment of triumph will now be bittersweet forever.
I know it's random chance but that is honestly fucked up.

Our team is made up of good to great players in a very effective and efficient system that they are all committed to and trained in.
City's team is made up of great to incredible players in a very effective and efficient system that they are all committed to and trained in.
The difference is what it is, and losing 1-0 is not shameful even if it didn't look like we got going. We held things together well enough and our defensive work was clearly quite solid overall. We should be satisfied with a low scoring away loss and a home draw from City this season really. We'll have made some real progress if it turns out we can win at home because it will mean the gap between their players and ours has drifted into a state of being negligible in terms of outcomes - but that may still be beyond us.

Not a bad result at all, we used to lose this game about 6-0 every season.
Well played City, still the best team in Europe after all.

They did say from the beginning that this was more a financial documentary viewpoint rather than the football side.
I would have preferred the football side but is it sad that I'm enjoying the financial side too
It's nice to get an insight in some small way.

I'm enjoying it well enough but one thing I think it underlines more than anything is how incredibly competent we are at the board level. Yes it's all likely staged, yes it's very corporate, agree with all of that - but the depth of talent available to us at the executive level relative to what we'd previously been stuck with is incredible. At some point in the first episode Stavely is on a video call with some fella who was the Head of European Investments for PIF - and he was talking about what the club needed to do with clearly some awareness of the situation. I honestly feel like we're going to be really dangerous in the long run not just because we can throw money at the team, but because we're going to have the most skilled and competent people running it.

This has us owing Chelsea a favour written all over it. Doesn't sit well with me but you have to trust the decision makers know what they're doing.
Mind you, given the extent to which Saudi Arabia saved their bacon this window, maybe this is them owing us

Was it not Botman who was hit in the arse? I can't quite remember what happened with Burn and have no interest in putting myself through it again, but I thought he was just left for dead?
