    no one’s gonna disagree here I think, but god the Twitter discourse from Man City Luddites about Luton Town is just plain disgusting. They deserve to be here. Much more than that oil club, and I’d even say Man City deserves to be here (or at least, did pre-takeover).

      Their football is not up to standards yes, but they fought tooth and nails to get promoted. It was probably the most exciting playoff game in a while. Happened a bit too early in their timeline tbh

        There’s no such thing as getting a hundred million pounds of parachute payments too early lol

      Agreed, they fought their way into the top flight and kudos. I think @[email protected] is right in that it may be too early, but I’m hoping they stay up :)

        And I’ll say the same point in return; there’s no such thing as “too early” for a hundred million pounds

      Hope he’s built as the same stuff as Xhaka and we’ll have him back in like December.

      I want him back. Hopefully he comes back close to how he left, but that’s obviously being optimistic when (correct me if I’m wrong) he was being ruled out for the season

    It is so weird that there’s only two London clubs in Europe and it’s us and of all people West Ham. They’re alright but not the club you’d expect surely XD happy to see it tho

    Giving Mastodon another shot cuz I’m tired of Twitter, and Lemmy doesn’t have anything to doomscroll. How does federation work here?

        Feel like there’s many of the same problems that make me not use Ecosia tbh, but as a non-essential I might be using this more and more. Twitter still feels like it’s better as an experience but like, I ain’t paying for that shit.

    AC Milan is not a serious team. Always going for the spectacular instead of going the simple route.

      Seriously. If they just put their boot through it instead of trying all these flicks and passes in the box, they would be like 3 goals up.

    Bilva injured

    ngl i’m happy, wouldn’t wish injuries on anyone but he’s such a good player; fingers crossed he’s out for our game but I doubt it lol

      eh, kinda don’t care tbh, didn’t have my hopes up given I just beat them in FM in the UECL with a much worse team than City

      still a bit annoyed though cuz I want them losing every single game

    Don’t think we should sign Toney; would rather we spend it on another defender so that we actually can rotate even with an injury lol. Plus preferably a replacement for Partey cuz we’ll need one given he’s got just two years left and I don’t see us extending him given his injury record. I think Toney is an upgrade on Nketiah right now, but I’m not convinced that it’s worth buying him and selling Nketiah for a kinda marginal upgrade.

    PSG might not be dangerous this season, but next season if they have a more cohesive unit under Enrique, they could win it all. Hakimi scoring with ease after 1-2s, sheesh.
