Today’s Football - 2024/25 Season

Think they might flog him before the window is out imho. If RM come back with £30m I recon he’s gone.
It's a lot for 5 months wait. I reckon the pre contract him with a juicy sign on bonus for the thank you. He get's to be a marquee signing in the bag to keep the fans onside, but who will be manager in the summer, is Ancelotti staying or is a recently northwest of england based retired manager about to step out of his rest for an 'unmissable opportunity'.

could really do without seeing that gurning Shipman alike ever again.
 

Not even remotely what I said, though, was it? It doesn’t have to be a straight choice between “there are elements of corruption in the PL” and “every single decision in every single game is made with some shady, inexplicable corrupt purpose in mind.”

It’s tiresome, mate. Teams can be good without being on some years-long cycle of PEDs without anyone ever testing positive or blowing the whistle. Refs can just be a bit crap. Have a day off.

If you genuinely think there’s no doping or match fixing in the richest league in the game even though it’s rife I nearly all other sports then you need to have a word with yourself

Once more, not what I said, was it?

What I absolutely do NOT believe is that one team can go on a systematic doping cycle for years on end and for it to completely avoid detection. The lengths you will go to, to avoid saying that they’re actually good at footy is genuinely mad.

When have I not said they’re good at football? They obviously are. The level all these teams can maintain, City Liverpool Arsenal followed by the huge dips they all periodically have is not statistically something ever seen before.

Nearly all doping in sport avoids detection.
