Safe landing, hey y’all :) I’ll do the prematch thread for Brighton later today probably
Fell asleep for 12 hours and I’ll probably be sleeping a bit more tbh, but it will be up before the game
No problems. Glad you made it safe :)
No photo in the new kit for Elneny and Cedric from what I’ve heard? So all but confirmed they’re leaving. Though that was obvious anyway tbh.
Meanwhile Amanda Ilestedt’s photo is very much a sign that these photos were taken ages ago lol
Yeah no bump yet lol. I’ve searched Getty Images and Aaron has a set of photos.
Just means we don’t want to sell him, which isn’t news tbf
It is incredible fun (and heartache since I am a fan of bayern) watching the coach related drama at Bayern and Barcelona. Especially the board at Barcelona are such humongous morons - convinced Xavi to stay when he had decided to leave and now looking to fire him because he said the cold hard truth to the press/public.
Wait what did Barca do now?
Begged Xavi to stay until he decided to stay. Then in the press conference before the match against alves(?) he said that Barcelona fans have to be realistic with their expectations of them challenging for titles and trophies because the club can’t sign players due to their financial troubles while the competitors (see Real Madrid) can sign whoever they want.
Laporta and the board are furious that Xavi has said this to the press and public after seemingly tell the board in internal meetings that they should still be competative next season.
I mean to be fair he’s right but he also shouldn’t be saying that lol. But sacking for that is stupid. I think it’s fair to say it’s gonna be hard but to straight up say they can’t compete is bad.
straight up say they can’t compete is bad.
I think i messed up a little. Here is his statement -
We will try to compete with Madrid, but I think the fans have to understand that the situation is very tough. First of all on a financial level. We can no longer say: ‘We want this player, and this player’. We do not have the same conditions as the other clubs with a good financial situation. The Barcelona fans have to understand that. That doesn’t mean we can’t challenge, but that’s Barça’s situation at the moment. We need time and stability, but we will also try to compete.
Very reasonable statement to make in my opinion
Aww hell Southampton are gonna come back up aren’t they?
I’ve got at least 3 decent reasons to root for Leeds here so fingers crossed they don’t lol
