The new footy thread

Is that official?

One Portuguese journo says it is but Fabrizio hasn’t yet so I’m not believing until then.

But it’s moving that way regardless.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

In, uh, other City news…

Shocked that City would move for Ronaldo (doesn't seem like a Pep move) but i'm looking forward to the reactions from Man U fans.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Jesus Christ there’s some murder groups

 

[dash]

Man United got a pretty good draw (I would say much better than Man City).

Also, Group B looks loaded for bear.

 

[ChiSoxFan]

Bayern should be able to lock up Group E pretty easily.

 

[ChiSoxFan]

Wolfsburg can win Group G. I'm calling it.

 

[StuUKWI]

United's group isn't as hard as the others but it's kind of interesting. You never know what you're going to get with Atalanta.

United always gets baby shit groups.

I thought Porto really had a good shot at making a run this year if they hold onto Diaz for the next week, now it would be like a championship just making it out of the groups lol

Is group B for reals?

Real Madrid: "We need the European Super League because we're going broke!"

Also Real Madrid: "We don't want to wait one year for a player so we will spend 180 million on him."

Utterly ridiculous. They also want to sign Haaland, who will earn €50MM per year based on what his agent is demanding in addition to a €40MM agent fee for his signing.

Now United are supposedly confident of signing Ronaldo...

Sources: Man Utd Ronaldo front-runners; City out

Manchester City have pulled out of the race to sign Cristiano Ronaldo, sources have told ESPN.

Fabrizio says it's happening so it's happening. Made more sense than any other option.

Was going to cancel my DAZN because they lost Serie A rights and only have EPL and CL left but might have to keep it now.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

And of course the word is Sir Alex heard about this City nonsense and rang the boy up to give him the ol' hairdryer.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Done deal.

 

[dash]

Done deal.

I'm glad the Saints played Man United last weekend lol

/shared the points, which isn't too bad either

 

[mattola]

Done deal.

 

[StuUKWI]

Great. My least favourite player back on my least favourite team.

Definitely does make more sense than him going to City.

 

[dash]

Done deal.

Watching the Crew in their big rivalry game with Cincinnati. It's called the "Hell is Real" rivalry.

Why? Because some retarded fundamentalist put up a big billboard on the highway between Columbus and Cincinnati that says that.




I have a hard time thinking of a dumber name for a rivalry in the whole of sport.
