    Man City threatening legal action against Real Madrid’s president (or presidential candidate) for promising to bring in Haaland.

    Man fucking C115y threatening legal action against someone! The audacity of these gits!

      Both sides are laughable. Honestly the RM elections are a joke at this point

    Arseblog making some good points

    We can definitely be better going forward, I think we have to improve in that sense, and hopefully that’s what this summer is all about it, but I just don’t understand why the differential in physical demands isn’t a greater consideration when talking about these things. I also don’t get how people who claim to love the game aren’t more opposed to how a club like PSG have manipulated … everything … to get where they are. But hey, maybe that’s just the world we live in. And maybe that’s a good example of why the world we live in is the way it is.

    I’m still upset about the whole McCabe situation but it is what it is. What’s peeving me right now is that there are WoSo fans trying to police how people are supposed to feel about it.

    Abusing the player is never right, but that doesn’t mean people aren’t entitled to feel upset or hurt by it. Especially with that ragebait video. We are supposed to say “oh well, there’s not many places where she could go…”…“well she needs to get her bag”…“well she’s a Chelsea fan”…and the one that really takes the cake is “well if you are that upset and walk back that many years of support, you probably didn’t like her as much or rated her anyways to begin with”.

    Fucking excuse me? The reason why people feel this way because she and the Chelsea literally spat our love for her back in our face. We just lost one of the most iconic players in our modern era to our direct rival and we aren’t allowed to be upset? Just because the WoSo fanbase (or the old guard who was “there before it was cool”) are so uppity up about it and being “nice and supportive”.

    People say blame Chelsea for it, but honestly I think the player has a bit responsibility on how they will be presented.

    We are upset because we actually care about the rivalry and the game and fuck those people who want to police how we feel.

      Right now to me she’s not far off from being RvP status

      Like if she’d gone to LCL it’d be another story. Hell, even if she’d gone to City. Or Barcelona or some shit. She could go to spurs and it would be less of a betrayal

        I do think this is Sol-level event if not close.

        I mean I still think Katie is a hell of a footballer but yeah this one hurts even more than Viv

    Apparently we’re in for Jeremy Monga (16 year old very talented left winger from Leicester).

    I also heard Morgan Rogers wants to join us, but we’re not happy about the price Villa is demanding.

        Definitely a future talent. Although it sounds like he’s not terribly far off. From what I’m gathering he’s a Dowman / Nwaneri level player who’d be knocking on the door of the first team.

    The He-Man movie is fun but really awkward. Like it kinda tries being the style of James Gunn and Taika Waititi Marvel but falls off short a bit. But it stars two Gooners!

    Skeletor could’ve been more campy though lol.

        Yeah you’re too young to know about He-Man but he was pretty popular in HK when I was a kid. Toys everywhere.

        Actually the best Spidey is a Gooner…Andrew Garfield is amazing 😜
