Honestly couldn't give a toss that we've won the community shield, but I'm ecstatic that Liverpool have lost it.

Schalke chairman under pressure to resign over racist comments

The Schalke chairman, Clemens Tönnies, is under pressure to resign following widespread condemnation of racist comments he made last week

www.theguardian.com

Speaking at a public meeting with 1,600 guests in Paderborn, the 63-year-old criticised tax increases designed to help to fight climate change and then suggested the money would be better used financing 20 power plants a year in Africa.

“Then the Africans would stop cutting down trees, and they would stop making babies when it gets dark,” Tönnies has been quoted as saying – a statement which later prompted an apology.

Watford fans are obsessed with us lol little no marks

Watford
We’ll do just fine. We have a splendid, likeable team with plenty of options, a smart, down to earth coach and an extraordinarily well-run club. Slipping into the bottom half at the death last season was aggravating, but as a result we’re not bundled in with Wolves, Leicester and Everton in accounts of “the chasing pack”. Which might be no bad thing, coming up on the blind side. Because we are in that chasing pack.

Key men/weak links Testimony to the club’s success is the ability to identify and – hopefully – attract Ismaïla Sarr after a two-year pursuit, and Tom Dele-Bashiru’s decision to turn down a new deal at Man City to join us on a six-year contract (henceforth a “reverse Sancho”). Troy Deeney remains key as a leader and figurehead but we increasingly have strong cover across the pitch and a small army of promising kids pushing for inclusion, albeit from some geographical distance.

We need to sign I’d be happy as we are.

Headline maker Troy, always.

VAR: good or bad? A grotesque short-sightedness borne of an easily manipulated tendency for everyone to think that the world is somehow biased against them and it’s all someone else’s fault. A convenient panacea, a magic bullet presented with the consequence that multiple babies get thrown out with bath water. And VAR will be dreadful, too.

Predictions… We will finish: Top half. Top four: 1. Man City; 2. Liverpool; 3.Tottenham; 4. One of seven. Bottom three: 18. Newcastle; 19. Sheffield United; 20. Brighton. First manager sacked: Marco Silva.

Surprised Mooy is still at Huddersfield would be a good signing for a newly promoted side or the likes of Burnley

Better first half then the Champions league final.

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Embarassing that Leeds & Derby have better managers than the majority of premier league clubs including Chelsea and Utd.

Apparently #CancelMUTV is trending on Twitter because some of the panellists said they'd be happy for United to sign Luis Suarez

I wonder how many Evertonians would have him here if the chance arose?

How has Bruce ended up on this. Sky would put anyone up over an Everton manager.

I'm laughing more at the breaking news valuing Ake at €75m
