Ugh. Can we just give the title to City already?

by **Wopruthien** » Sun Dec 17, 2017 3:05 am

Only if they get more points than the record, and go unbeaten.

Thanks for the recommendation. I found this.

The only reason I'm interested is because I want to steal his failed hair transplant look.

Which penalty format do other posters prefer? ABAB or ABBA?

The ABBA system seems like an unnecessary change. The existing format works just fine, in my opinion.

So... Coutinho huh?

He did the sensible thing. He would have won nothing staying with Liverpool.

True.

But this much money? It seems silly.

Welcome to the modern footballing world.
For context - Ronaldo's transfer to Real Madrid is currently sixth (seventh if and when Mbappe's transfer to PSG goes through).

Karl Darlow sucks. Rob Elliott sucks. But cuz Ashley is a cheap ass we won't get a decent keeper

Darlow's much better than Elliott imo, dunno why Benitez doesn't play him more.

He's really error prone. He makes mistakes far too often. Newcastle probably have the worst goalkeeping in the Premier League. It doesn't help that we can't score either.

Meanwhile in Ligue 1

You should sign Danny Ward from Liverpool. Nice 15-20 million bid please.

Newcastle are interested in loan deals for Ings and Sturridge. Goalkeepers, I dunno, apparently there's interest in Pepe Reina, we tried to loan some guy from Ukraine or something but that failed

A Middlesborough fan has been arrested after stealing and pissing in the water bottle of QPR goalkeeper Alex Smithies.

I hope my former colleagues (or one of the newer mods) forgives me for gravedigging, but:

Well done, mister Thy. Player of the year award for you

Mo Salah is incredible.

Also from a Wrexham perspective, screw you Walsall.

The Championship really is easy to get out of, huh Sunderland?

Sad news about Sir Alex Ferguson's health issues overnight. Even as a Liverpool fan who grew up learning to hate him and his team, he's an absolute legend of the game and I wish him a speedy recovery.
