>>144198418God I hate fatties who have their guts hanging out when did they lose all sense of shame
>>144198438The Gunt is disgusting but for me it's the watch looking like its cutting off circulation and the thighs making a Thunt
>>144198438worst part is that lad has been photographed before years ago in a watford kit
>>144198448He definitely has gout, look at those ankles
>>144198418I actually feel sad for him
>>144198418>>144198452one has to eat fried battered foods every meal for everyday to get that physique, is he a scot?
>>144198473not gout, it's lymphedema
>>144198452>crocs years before they became a zoomer trendWhat a trend-setter
>>144198522Yea, it's oedema and cellulitis. Probably has diabetes.Wonder what size that tent of a shirt is in the OP.
Pies, Chinese, can't kick a ball.Simple as.

>The Premier League failed in an attempt to make Everton pick up its full £4.9million legal costs for last season’s Profitability and Sustainability Rules case. >A commission and appeal board instead ruled that Everton should only pay £1.7million, about a third of the total amount, with the Premier League covering the remaining £3.2million for the PSR case which resulted in Everton being deducted ten points, reduced to six on appeal. BIG win for Everton!

>>144198557And cocaine>Bosnich said that much of his cocaine problem was due to his relationship with British model Sophie Anderton, claiming that for every line of cocaine she had, he had to have one too.But it sounds like he is innocent. It was really his girlfriend, and it was only fair that he match her lines.
sorry, no one answered me in the last thread. I asked if any Nations League Group A CHADS are looking forward to the upcoming fixtures? England fans, surely you are looking to win it this time??
>>144198261yeah he got done for coke. why are you Aussies like that?
>>144198630i'm not sure anyone cares about the NL here anymore since the elite chads won the first one

Aston Villa and Newcastle no debt = made to sell players to be compliant. Manchester United over a billion pounds in dead it's all fine tell you what we'll even give you a special allowance. It's wrong. Every football knows it's wrong and yet a few teams who have achieved their position by being allowed to spend cash from wealthy owners are fixing the system and changing the rules every year to counter unruly upstarts
>After spending hours in an online queue last week, some Oasis fans were faced with a big price hike when buying tickets for the band's reunion tour - and the practice is coming to elite-level European football.>This week Spanish top-flight club Valencia announced they would use the controversial system of 'dynamic pricing' for home matches.>"Following the global trend in shows, sporting events and entertainment, Valencia will join this practice, which has the support and technology of La Liga," the club said.>"Tickets will therefore go on sale at a base price, which could increase as the days go by. Buying your tickets early will ensure you get the best price.">A spokesperson for Valencia supporters' group Libertad VCF told BBC Sport: "We are radically against it.>"It is a strategy of pure speculation based on demand without taking into consideration that football fans are not simply customers who don't care if they fly with Ryanair or British Airways.>"Those who can will bear it, and those who cannot will have their seat taken by a tourist who does not care whether Valencia win or lose."Coming to Premier League fixtures near you.
>>144198656haha yeah more like suck dick and take it in the ass league lololol
>>144198662>based on demandare these fucking retards for real?
>>144198418>>144198452I've seen a lot of fat people in my time and I've been overweight myself (even though nowhere near as bad as him) but I just cannot understand how their ankles and lower legs get like that. Even at my "peak" my legs were defined as hell. Is it actually a medical condition that makes them like that?

>Galatasaray are considering making a bid for the Manchester United midfielder Casemiro. [Paul Hirst]The Times is pretty accurate especially from that particular journo. wonder what will be the plan going forward, Casemiro is beyond finished but Ugarte can't play every single game. Anyway there's already some murmur that the young Mali DM they just signed won't stay that long in academy team before being fast-tracked to the senior team so maybe they're gambling for that?
>>144198662>football fans are not simply customersWRONG
>>144198726BTFO
>>144198684They have a point. I doubt tickets for Valencia v Osasuna for example would have as much demand as Valencia v Real/Barca. But then that's the whole point of having certain fixtures defined as Class A or Class B as some clubs do so you can charge more for the matches against bigger sides.
>>144198764exactly, you already have games being priced for demand. in fact, every single game is priced for demand since a big club in the top division charges more than a small club in a smaller division
>>144198781>exactly, you already have games being priced for demand.Which renders dynamic pricing irrelevant.
NO-ONE is panicking yet and the view is that the club haven’t kept Ten Hag and built a new system around him just to sack him at the first sign of trouble — However, there is an acceptance that poor results will NOT be allowed to continue indefinitely.[@ChrisWheelerDM]so how many straight losses in a row before the alarm is ringing?
>>144198701That's gotta suck. I can't even imagine what it would feel like even though I was fat myself.
>>144198804>so how many straight losses in a row before the alarm is ringing?January when United are 8 points from safety and have just been dumped out of the FA Cup by Harrogate Town
>"I'm not defending ETH but who even replaces him?">Tuchel, Zidane, Nagelsmann>"I know things aren't great but there just aren't many options out there right now">Xavi, Pochettino, Amorim>"Seriously, people love to criticise Erik but ask them who they'd prefer and they can't come up with anything">Potter, McKenna, Frank>"Let's face it, no manager in the world could get United any higher than 8th, give him a new contract and see who's available in 2030"
>Former Wolves striker Rafa Mir, now with Valencia, has been arrested in Spain following an alleged sexual assault

>>1441988045 but it doesn't count if it's against a top six side or they win the xG

would 21/22 Ole's season with an actual new DM instead of >Jsanchz and old decrepit Ronaldo still have a chance to achieve something and maybe Ole would still be a United manager today?
>>144198859ETH is the worst possible manager they could have
>>144198906How? If you already have dedicated price tiers there is no point of dynamic pricing.
>>144198873Exactly, there's just nobody
>>144198804>Southampton (H)>Palace (A)>Spurs (H)>Aston Villa (A)>Brentford (H)>West Ham (A)>Chelsea (H)At least 10 points from this or he’s gone. If they drop points against Southampton he is out the next day. This could get really out of hand. Single digits in November.
>>144198912Ole was such a fraud, obscenely lucky cunt, actually maybe less lucky than ETH who somehow has seen his team lose 7-0 and win a trophy later on
>>144198934says who?
>>144198945You are already charging a higher price, you do not need to charge even more closer to the game. No point continuing this discussion if you're not going to attempt to counter what I'm saying.
>>144198937>He has to get 10 points from a possible 21 or he's in troubleAlri Gary Neville
>>>/gif/27791807
>>144198960Should be enough for 8th desu
>>144198912I think so. Ten Hag's first season he only brought in Antony, Martinez and Weghort on loan to replace Ronaldo. With Ronaldo they were scoring goals and weren't dipping into negative GD. Antony and Weghorst weren't scoring. That season Liverpool, Tottenham and Chelsea also had massive crisis leaving the top flight far easier than in previous (and later) seasons. Ole would have benefited from that good fortune too. Other stuff on the way to the Carabao such as Newcastle being forced to use their 3rd choice keeper happened in match unrelated to United so again, Ole would have that same good fortune. The only on that would be affected would be the Carabao semi-final against Fulham since it was JSanchz' shot on goal that led to the handball red card which spiralled into 3 red cards.Sure Rashford was having the best season of his life but that didn't last past the contract negotiation so I think its reasonable to say that was independent of Ten Hag since Ole would give him the same contract. 2nd Season would probably be better since there'd likely be less injuries but at this point so much of the squad has become Ten Hag players its difficult to gauge.
>>144198957what price do you charge to suck a guy's dick? /epl/ has a right to know
>>144198937He will luckball some of these t b h
>>144198996>The only on that would be affected would be the Carabao semi-final against FulhamWrong cup competition, was the FA Cup
>>144198937>Southampton (H)W 1-0. Southampton are atrocious>Palace (A)L 3-1 they'll get their shit pushed in>Spurs (H)W 2-0 they'll inexplicably be really good while Spurs waste a bunch of chances>Aston Villa (A)L 3-0 Villa too good>Brentford (H)L 1-0 Mbuemo counter in the 75th minute>West Ham (A)W 2-1 go behind early and 2 lucky goals from defenders>Chelsea (H)W 2-0 another inexplicable good performance
>>144198937can see United maybe comfortably winning against Soton and maybe Brentford but that’s it. They truly are a mid table club now.
>Football Manager is removing Weight from the game because they're adding women's football and after speaking to women, the women said it should be removed because sometimes they get fat week-to-weekFucking hell. The rise of women's football has been a disaster for the sport.
>>144198960The way they are playing right now they will beat Southampton and 1 of Palace/Brentford. They are shit. Ipswich got a better result against Liverpool and Brentford got a better result at Anfield. No point in saying he needs 17 points because there is zero chance of it happening.
>>144199019Not without McSauce
>>144199091Why not just have women report their weight? I can’t imagine EA go around weighing every player
>>144199111The reason they gave was basically they asked women about the weight feature and the women all gave a vague sort of "Well ahcktually women's weight fluctuates all the time, every day even, so if you ever see my weight anywhere that's probably just during a fat day and I'm actually way skinnier most of the time". So SI said they aren't going to write an algorithm to creature fluctuating weights, so they scrapped weights entirely. Which makes no fucking sense because real footballers bulk up and slim down all the time and that's never stopped SI from just using a static weight for them.The real reason of course, is that women don't want to be "fat" on the game and therefore won't allow their weights displayed.

>We're definitely real athletes you just aren't allowed to mention our bodies in either a positive or negative way
>>144199137I think they’ll lose to Brentford simply because McTom isn’t there to shithouse a win for them again
WALK ONNNNNN,WITH GREGGS IN YOUR ARMSSSS
COS YOULL NEVER WALK,TO THE DOLE,ALONEEEEE
>>144199175I did forget that they lost McTominay. That significantly reduces the odds of any shithouse results.
>>144199175McSauce did the same against Villa too i think? He must have been the reason for at least 15 extra points for united last year
>>144199137This is very optimistic and it’s still only 12/21 points lol
>>144199195>>144199210Why did scousers evolve like this
>>144199240They could look at it from the angle that they only lost one game. Still very grim obviously.

NOT convinced that Lucy Letby is guilty tbqh
>>144199354It's fuck all to do with Ten Hag's mentality. He's just a shit manager lol.
>>144199354Well yeah should be hoping for top 4 to begin with

>>144198697Oedema is about fluid retention rather than simply fat. Those legs are full of fluid and "he" should be prescribed a diuretic and should probably be wearing compression stockings.
>>144199396Only if you count forcing out current golden glove De Gea, who was willing to take a pay cut, as part of the deal.
>>144199396yeah I think I already gave up on him, washed de Gea in his last few seasons with United actually still knew how to position himself well when saving shots, it's just his brainfarts especially when trying to play from the back got a lot more noticeable and happened a lot more. meanwhile i don't even know what's good with this dude, a lot of the goals that he conceded was because of his really dodgy positioning but some people would like to debate you it's always 100% the fault of the defenders' in front of him.
LFC have named their squad list for this season's UCL List A: Alexander-Arnold, Alisson, Chiesa, Diaz, Endo, Gakpo, Gomez, Gravenberch, Hill, Jaros, Jones, Jota, Kelleher, Konate, Mac Allister, Morton, Nallo, Nunez, Nyoni, Robertson, Salah, Szoboszlai, Tsimikas, Van DijkThe likes of Conor Bradley, Harvey Elliott, and Jarell Quansah don't need to be included on List A due to their age and club-trained status
>Alphabetical order
>>144199606Who did Lil Wayne sign for?
dunno why Everton aren't trying to sign Brandon Williams in short-term deal. their fullback depth, especially RB, is just straight up gross and giving him a chance may do some wonder (or not).
>>144199612He's a nos addict
>>144199612Probably because Everton are inept in every way

>>144199606Which one's the cartoon character
>>144199705>they pressed a lot and had the ball a lotwell done, spuds. ange is a genius
>>144199677How much did everton pay for dele alli to do nothing?
>>144199803that shit is just unsustainable and will be funnier to look at when they start having 2 games in a week. they can even barely win games in this slower schedule.
>>144199705What's the point of this chart? Surely this implies that leading in those particular stats is a completely worthless metric (otherwise Southampton would be challenging for trophies).
>>144199705someone should tell ange that the team should pass the ball forward instead of sideways and backwards after winning the ball
he's underwhelming but the depth is already dogshit so why not keep him.
>>144199951To try and raise his value so you can sell him
Hard pressing is countered by a low block which you saw with spuds and (ironically) Soton. Problem for Ange is he can't draw out the players so he just has Spuds taking pot shots outside the box and it doesn't work
>>144200192yeah not like he encountered this in 99% of his games as Celtic manager. that said, he did have better players there. McGregor, Hatate, O'Riley and Kyogo walk into that squad.
>>144200192that's not even the main problem, spurs look really slow on transitions and their opponents quickly reorganize before they're even close to the box

>>144200264Where's the 'chances wasted' stat? That's gotta be neck and neck.
>>144200266For me Kulusevski as a lone centre forward was dubious. I would've just stuck Son there, he's wasted on the left. You saw it with Johnson when he came on because they looked a lot more threatening and they were getting more space but there was no one to meet the ball at the end
Why does Palace think they're going to get 70 million quid for Marc GuehiHe's shit
>>144200556Chelsea
>>144198418WTF?! the knees. where did they go?
>>144199396This was based and only trannies think otherwise.
>>144199951This is a fake story because Antony has already said he intends to stay at United this season to "prove himself".
>>144200673it would have been based if he's saved it
>>144200399This is a BIG positive for ABLs because Salah and VVD are 50 years old. It shows Liverpool have no ambition in signing players.
don't really care what salah fc doesclub was finished when they ran out of stolen city targets
>>144200556He's young and English. Realistically he's a 40M player.
>>144200695It's based even though he didn't save it because he's shithousing in a penalty shootout against the most in form striker in the world.
What do we think of Manuel Ugarte?Admittedly, I've not seen him play a lot because I don't watch Ligue 1 but from his interviews he seems like a decent lad.
>>144200745If they're going to try to play him in the role Casemiro was playing then he's fucked.
>>144200745Good ball winner but can't pass, not what Man United need
>>144198418>>144198452corr absolute unitsthis is what romans saw when they first came in britania
>>144200745Judging from pic he looks to be a manletWill compliment martinez well
>>144200765How so? From what I've seen, Ugarte is Casemiro but with more stamina.
>>144200745Was great at Sporting, Enrique is still living in tikitaka land and only wants passers
>Fulham caught with fake sponsorkek
>>144200745nice jacket, dont have a fucking clue about ugarte though
>>144200718He was a good player for England during Euros TBF.
>>14420086250M + 5M add ons is the highest I would be happy with my club paying for Guehi
hope osimhen dominates in turkey and gets his big money move somewhere proper
>>144200801I was saying it here at the weekend. He's trying to make Casemiro play the Toni Kroos role, but he's not Toni Kroos. If he tries the same with Ugarte, it's going to fail for the same reason.
>>144199705Reminder that Brighton are the only team there that have had any difficult teams in the first games.
>>144200982I think Casemiro is meant to play as an enforcer but he doesn't have the legs to do it anymore. If this is the case, Ugarte will fit the role much better.
>>144201046That's the thing. He SHOULD be playing as an enforcer, but he's not. Watch the goals back. He's being used as the creative pivot. They're giving him the ball to play progressive passes, he's getting caught either dawdling on the ball or doing the progressive pass poorly and then they're caught in 1v1s because the fullbacks have bombed up the pitch to be the outlet that Casemiro is supposed to be feeding. Then he gets subbed off and Mainoo becomes the creative pivot and what happens? He gets played the ball, he dawdles, the fullbacks push too far up and boom 3-0
>>144200574No metric for cards?Rice has had 3 yellows and a red in 3 games so far.
>>144198418Built 4 BBC
>>144201118does the red cancel out the two yellows that led to it?
>>144200673

Can tell a lot of posters here just brainlessly parrot whatever Nick Harris shat out this week
>>144202036Watkins literally said in an interview two weeks ago he was still recovering from a minor injury from the Euros and has only played about 60 minutes of each game so far (and has looked well off it), so that one is pretty believable.
>>144202695More of a Nick Kerrkiller kind of guy tbqhwyfam
>>144202695Nah, all my posts (apart from this one) are written by AI these days
Alexa what’s 6 million divided by 365 times 6
>>144202910Alright, let's have a pint and talk about this Premier League season.So, it seems like City are at it again, huh? They're like a well-oiled machine, scoring goals for fun. Pep Guardiola must be some sort of football wizard.Arsenal started off hot like a spicy curry, but they've cooled down a bit lately. Maybe they've eaten too many pies and pints.And then there's United. Oh, United. They're like a comedy goldmine at this point. Every match is a new episode of "How Not to Play Football." It's like watching a car crash in slow motion, but you can't look away. Ten Hag must be thinking, "What have I gotten myself into?"Liverpool are trying to find their mojo, but it's a bit like searching for a needle in a haystack, especially when Klopp's hair is getting longer by the week.So, there you have it. City are cruising, Arsenal are stumbling, and United are a laughing stock. It's been a season of surprises, but mostly, it's been a whole lot of fun to watch.
>>144202960lel
>>144202910Shearer?
>>144202960>well-oiled machinethis and "german efficiency" make me homicidal
>Six players who helped England reach the Euro 2024 final are on the 30-man shortlist for the 2024 Ballon d'Or.Captain Harry Kane, midfielders Jude Bellingham, Phil Foden and Declan Rice, and forwards Bukayo Saka and Cole Palmer are in the running for the prestigious prize, awarded to the best male footballer in 2024.
>>144202960can't say she's wrong
So far this season, it's been a bit like watching a high-stakes poker game where everyone else is all-in and we're just casually sipping tea, handy having a poker pro in charge. Brighton's been absolutely killing it. I mean, have you seen our squad? We're now like a finely tuned Swiss watch, except instead of telling time, we're telling other teams how to play football.It's been a masterclass in efficiency, a symphony of passes, and a relentless pursuit of victory. The other teams are starting to look a bit panicked, like they've just realized they left the oven on. But don't worry, lads, we've got this. The title is ours to lose, and I'm pretty sure we've lost that ability somewhere between Pedro's last goal and Veltman's game management at Arsenal
>>144202960>Pep Guardiola must be some sort of football wizard

>Alan Shearer was better than HaalandDo you agree?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hexX7Aogi_w
>>144203287shearer played for a declining poorly managed club where he ended up being both their entire central midfield and forward threat in his later yearshaaland is a traffic cone who is ultimately irrelevant to city winning or losing anything, he was even out for half of last year their league rival broke a points record and city still won anyway
>>144203287haaland could get beyond shearers hattrick total this year
>>144203348Would you change your thinking if Haaland played for England?
>>144203517Cole Palmer on there is insane
When available, this is Manchester United's best starting XI. Excuse me while I kill myself.
>>144203517dunno why the list is always as long as it, 95% of these guys wouldnt even come to mind if you asked someone who they think should win the award
>>144203465>would england change if they had a prolific 9 who goes invisible in finals
>>144203517We all know they're giving it to Vini because he's the new South American hope.
>>144203669You wouldn't want Haaland to play for England?
>>144203517Is it just the Real Madrid team sheet plus a few extras?Remind me why people take this seriously.
>>144203730i'm just messing with you, obviously i would and if he stays healthy he's set to be the best striker everto be honest i feel that guardiola holds him back with his rigid lines autism
>>144203730Does he not play for England because Pep told him not to?
>>144203693also the best football player in the world this year
>>144203517It's gotta be Carvajal surely? Kroos might have had a shot if Germany did better in the Euros but didn't Carvajal win pretty much everything that season?

Day 29839 of waiting for the Sheff United takeover to complete
>>144202213Tbf they didn't ruin Mount, he was already like that, they just keep enabling him
This will be unpopular because nobody here like Man United but I genuinely felt sorry for Kobbie Mainoo against Liverpool. He was doing the work of about 3 or 4 players. Gonna be another young player who gets burnt out.
>>144204570which is why he should move to a proper club that won't ruin him
>>144204570He'd look good playing in a 3 but he doesn't have the defensive ability to play in a 2. Rabiot on a free and Mainoo, Rabiot and Ugarte might actually work pretty well
>>144204570Didn't help that the player who was meant to offer him protection had a generationally shit performance
good evening gentlemen :)
>>144204570>He was doing the work of about 3 or 4 players.No he wasn't.
tottenham hotspur turns 142 tomorrow. happy early birthday lillywhites<3
>>144204916ABU
>>144205187Yes, but also correct.
Reckon I'm stronger than 95%+ of prem players (only some goalkeepers might be stronger). Can't compete with them on cardio and calisthenics though some of them doing pull ups like monkeys
>>144204587This story is a year and a half old and she didn't go jail. Whilst she was clearly neurotic her interactions were barely stalking. She was bombarding them with desperate texts it was more like cringe harassment. Also let's not forget Mount fucked her then ignored her.
>>144205311that's fascinating, really it is
>Former Brazilian international Douglas Costa now plays for Sydney FC in Australia. However, the footballer also has another project with which he wants to earn money: an account on the erotic platform OnlyFans.
>>144204570I didn't feel sorry for Kobbie Mainoo. He is very average. His goals vs Wolves and Liverpool last season were great but he isn't a metronome, dominant, ball carrying, or press resistant midfielder. He isn't a specialist in any role. His best quality is his 'all-rounded' game. He suits a 4-4-2 or 4-5-1 CM. Modern game isn't built for players like him. Mwepu from Brighton who retired with heart problems was a much better CM prospect.
>>144205345The point is to generate a conversation about the fitness levels of average people and /sp/ users compared to premier league level superstars in the off season, bozo. Or should I just say TBoehlz clueless Ten Haggy Potter again
>>144205386we're not in the offseason
>>144205386strength and fitness aren't the same thing mongo
>>144205427is this golden boy?
>>144205466nah its the main ballon dor mate, that's why mainoo and garnacho were nominated
>>144205493wouldn't be surprised if mainoo was nominated the amount of pr work utds tv heads do for him
>>144205427pretty muchfull list:Pau Cubarsi Barcelona SpainAlejandro Garnacho Man United ArgentinaArda Guler Real Madrid TurkeyKarim Konate RB Leipzig Ivory CoastKobbie Mainoo Man United EnglandJoao Neves PSG PortugalSavinho Man City BrazilMathys Tel Bayern Munich France Under-21Lamine Yamal Barcelona SpainWarren Zaire-Emery PSG France
>>144205374>I didn't feel sorry for Kobbie MainooSame. Looked massively out of his depth for England especially. If he didn't play for United no one would give a shit about him. If United hadn't had injuries he would never have gotten a game. This time next year he'd have been playing for Peterborough.
>>144205519hehe fair point. but nah has to be golden boy or w/e its called (the kopa trophy apparently) just based off age i'd assume
>>144205340>Mount fucked her then ignored herSo?She looks like a fucktoy why would she expect anything else.
>>14420537250% of his DNA is footballer
>>144205427Yamal not amongst this?Thought he was the poster boy for football (third world immigration)
>>144205427>>144205525Gotta be Yamal surely? Or Guler I guess but almost certainly Yamal.
>kobbie mainoo for player of the yearare you taking the fucking piss
>>144205526He was England's best midfielder at the Euros
>>144205773SCREAMING
>>144205838Might wanna quiet down mate, it's midnight.
>>144205564Not defending her don't care about her but generally speaking when you fuck a slag you deal with the consequences, as they say don't fuck crazy. Gilmour probably got dragged into something that didn't involve him
>>144205618Gotta be braindead surely >>144205525
>>144205526Agree with most of this but don't think he's complete crap Peterborough tier. Man United central midfield has been entirely slacking since even Fergie brought back Scholes. Herrera, Schneiderlin, Schweinsteiger, Fred and now the current crop with Casemiro. CM has been a nightmare for United for over a decade, which is why an alright talent like Mainoo gets so overrated. English CM situation isn't great either. Although now I think of it, Man Utd entire spine is a problem now. Their strongest part of the central core is probably Hojlund Zirkzee up top... :skull:
>>144205918>Gilmour probably got dragged into somethingHe was at Brighton at the time so probably the men's toilets
>>144205987martinez/de ligt isnt that awful, factoring in de ligt will warm up to the league presumablybut i will take any opportunity to post pic related
I'm a Liverpool supporter and even I think this board is overly critical of United. I thought they played well against Brighton and Fulham and you can see what they're trying to do. Once Ugarte gets going they should chain a few wins together.
>>144205918>when you fuck a slag you deal with the consequencesLike this mess? >>144205372These women know what they are, they also predate on footballers because they're rich and a large majority are kept in an almost juvenile state due to playing PE for a job and having minders do everything for them. Don't feel bad for these tarts for 2 seconds, they're not victims.
>>144206216Last season was United lowest ever premier league finish and they extended the coach's contract and signed more of his players. Whether ten Hag stays or is sacked they won't develop as a league team under him. Best case this season is probably a Europa league run (not happening). >>144206211Martinez top player but his legs made out of cheese string. De ligt 1 game into his prem career I would bet money on him flopping.
>>144206292Reckon mason mount was a cry baby just my opinion m8
>>144206330He should have said "this country was built on innocent until proven guilty and she's chatting shit." Broken up with her, cut off her money and smashed her mum and mates.
>>144206330Fuck sake, wrong Mason.I think a lot of them are scared of women because all they do is play football with blokes or play video games. So probably just didn't know what to do. Chelsea staff don't give a fuck because they're too busy trying to find space for the next player coming in that Todd bought on a whim. The only reason the devil baby thing got sorted and came out was due to Gilmour being looked after properly at Brighton.
>>144206315You say it won't happen but Ten Hag has won at least 1 trophy every season of his managing career. He's actually /elite/ in cup competitions.
>>144206315tops a little aggressive but hes one of their good players i'd say. de ligt i didnt follow too closely in italy or germany but there's a good player in there somewhere, will he find that at united? probably not but doubt he'll be any worse than "average"
Gotta feel for de Ligt and Collyer making their debut against fucking Liverpool
>>144206395I don't know why people here pretend Liverpool is some sort of super club, think it's a false flag desu.

>Collyer>Seko the Mali DM>Chido Obi-Martin>Amass>Maybe also Wheatley since he's been on the bench recentlyis the potential late departure of Casemiro and Antony means this is merely the plan to bed in these young lads as soon as possible, considering they'll get plenty of EL games to try? reeks of Van Gaal era desu, nyr your Tyler Blackett, your James Wilson, your Paddy Mcnair, you Cameron Borthwick Jackson.

Are there people that unironically believe Hazard was better than Salah? Without any irony or jokes, do people ACTUALLY believe this?
>>144213054difficult to compare to be honest, hazard's play style was more comparable to grealish than to salah
>>144198697like others have said this isn't all fat, its water retention. I suffered from it after developing heart failure from the coof jab. I dunno how people like this live with it for as long as they do, I was literally leaking fluid from sores on the back of legs and they weren't even 50% as swollen as this chaps sausage legs. It must be pure misery.

>Newcastle United legend Steve Bruce fears that Aston Villa won't even sell out their Champions League home fixtures due to their hugely inflated ticket prices
>>144213054When they were both in the Prem it was commonly accepted that Hazard was better. Hard to compare them now that Hazard retired and left prem over 5 years ago.
>>144213265>Newcastle United legend Steve Bruce???Bruce literally never played here, he was a Man Utd man
>>144213265>not "Villa Park managerial legend"
Maybe Kloppo should try managing Man United just so he can truly feel how much of a wasteman Sancho is
>>144213332If he was a wasteman he wouldn’t perform for dortmund
>>144213294Fergie never played for Manchester United Still a Manchester United legend
>casemiro stays [Fabrizio]Well then, not so much to say other than I hope he'll fix himself with Ugarte finally arrived otherwise he's gonna warm the bench as long as possible.
>>144213422>Kwabtony and Catshitmiro staying /mug/chads we STAY WINNING
>>144213265Geordies get really defensive when you mention them alongside Steve Bruce because of all the death threats they sent him.
>>144213422>350k for sitting on a bench BOSS
>>144213389Would make more sense to say Bruce is a Hull legend, since he won them the play-offs (well, Pearson's players did, but Bruce was there I guess)
>>144213332>the whole worldYou had (and still have) idiots who rate sanshit, this waster was shit from day one but barely anyone noticed it since they were too focused on Ronaldo coming back, 2nd season Ronaldo exit and Maguire playing like shit took attention off him again before finally people woke up to how bad he’s been
>>144213474You've got two different campaigns mashed together: 12/13 was the automatic promotion, 15/16 was the play-off victory
>Lee Carsley sees TAA as a 'right back'Oh good. Another retard. The guy can play there. But so could I and I'm an old man. I wouldn't be good at it. TAA isn't good at it from a defensive aspect. Okay, versus Ireland and Finland I expect him to do well but here is the key thing. Who the fuck is he crossing to? Nobody. If England had prime Andy Carroll (this is a joke for all you oldies out there haha!) then I could understand him playing. But nobody got in the fucking box all fucking Euros and it took luck to win anything (and I get physically angry at how Southgate and the 'lads' blew it yet again and I felt sorry for Southgate before the game and then after he goes 'lol Kane wasn't fit xD' and I lost all sympathy).
>>144213689>TAA isn't goodCorrect
just watched roy keane stomp a mud hole in southgates ass
they should give it to DAT GUY for laffs
>>144213835
>>144213689England had Gerrard, Scholes, Lampard, Barry, Carrick, Hargreaves and CM was a problem. Now England have Trent, Walker, Trippier (RIP), White, James and right back is a problem. We are simply built different.
>>144213835I'd be tremendously in favour of the award being presented to THAT PERSON
https://youtu.be/JtVDCoYEH405:00JESSIEE LINGAAARDDDDD
>>144213835>>144213852Mbuemo player of the month, Raya second. Coach Hurdler or Slot both acceptable. I lean towards Slot. Don't think Brighton coach is gonna do a good job long term, seems like more new manager bounce.
>>144213835It's going to Haaland, obviously. Why isn't Madueke on there? After that I'd say Raya or Palmer. Onana has been great and every game I see him play I question why the fuck United didn't buy him.
>>144214008>Onana has been great and every game I see him play I question why the fuck United didn't buy him.foreign bandwagoners would get the two confused
>>144213906I mean the solution here is to slap Ben White and tell him to grow up. He objectively has a better partnership with Saka than anybody and they could really make the right side dangerous. Instead England put Walker there (who is the best RB but he won't be the best RB forever). TAA should be played as a winger instead of Saka or Palmer for some games. I am sure he will do better than CM or RB. I assume when/if Walker goes it will be TAA replacing him or James (if he is ever fucking fit).
>>144213852Slot, Hurzeler, Guardiola, Arteta in that order. Simply because Slot had the 'harder' games and won them all. Hurzeler because he didn't win them all. Guardiola because he won them all. Arteta because he didn't win them all and even had he done so he wouldn't have won it anyway. Also Hurzeler got carded so that would have knocked points off.
>>144213852Needs to be baldy doesn't it
>>144214087Oh you cheeky monkey you haha which one anon haha!
>>144214021I think you can ask for a 'nickname' shirt if you're in a team with people with the same name. So Onana (midfielder) could be asked to be called one of Amadou Ba Zeund Georges Mvom Onana, since that's his full name. Meanwhile Onana (GK) is called André Onana Onana. Which I find funny nobody is doing the Djemba-Djemba joke of 'so good they named him twice'. Since that's his full name.
>>144214021Because they're both black? What a bunch of racists
>>144214128>So Onana (midfielder) could be asked to be called one of Amadou Ba Zeund Georges Mvom Onana, since that's his full namethe absolute statealso weird that both chose 24 as their shirt number
>>144214157Yeah that is odd. The league is full of people with silly names. Tosin has to be known as Tosun because his full name is Abdul-Nasir Oluwatosin Oluwadoyinsolami Adarabioyo. Imagine Merson trying to pronounce that. So he just asks to be known as Tosin. Weird thing about this guy is he is huge but hasn't played for any England youth teams for ages. Yeah he is 26 now, but he stopped in 2015, where he would have been 17. Doubt he will somehow get into the England squad anyway. Tomori is another one, his actual name is Oluwafikayomi Oluwadamilola Tomori. Since people will have obvious issues calling him by his first name, he is known as Fikayo (part of his first name, as you can see). So I assume Onana (midfielder) would have asked to be called Amandou or Zeund or something. Top player that I think any of the 'big six' should have gone for and baffled none of them did. Villa going to be fine with him instead of Luiz.
>Armando Broja is eager to show Evertonians his best football as the Blues’ new striker vowed to give everything to move the Club towards an exciting future.>The 22-year-old Albania international completed a season-long loan, with a Club option to make the move permanent, from Chelsea in the final minutes of last Thursday’s summer transfer deadline day.This deal has somehow been stuck for a week.

snubbed by the manager
>>144215223They want out of the competition, they think they're bigger than it (they aren't)
>>144214128>I think you can ask for a 'nickname' shirt if you're in a team with people with the same namePersonally think you are wrong and don't know what you are talking about. Prem used to be strict on player names on shirts but not anymore. Fabregas in 2003 wanted 'Cesc' but wasn't allowed so went with surname. Gradually over the years, the rules were relaxed and now players can have whatever they want on their shirt. Chicharitos name is Hernandez Balcacer his shirt had Chicharito that was probably a big step towards nick names on shirts normal. Now Savio put his name to Savinho because he felt like it. Rodri wears Rodrigo for Spain. Aguero had nickname real name Kun Aguero on his.
>>144215265so he was right? he said they can use 'nicknames' which is exactly what he said. are you fucking retarded? he even put it in quotes to mean it isn't a 'nickname' per se.
>>144215310> if you're in a team with people with the same nameNo Hernandez at Utd no Kun, Rodrigo, Savio at City you can ask for whatever nickname you want now divvo
sad
>>144215407She is a net negative to women's football and if she cared about the development of this sport she wouldn't have fucked off the women's super league for US soccer fem. She had the best female player on the planet for 4 years and couldn't close the gap to Barcelona or Lyon. Rest in piss bozo. The female coaching men gimmick doesn't work, Sir Andy Murray sacked Amelie Mauresmo the first chance he got because she wasn't aggressive enough.
Howe should've brought in Werner, there's a good player in there. Ange can't level up players

>>144213835>>144213852Haaland, 7 in 3. No one else is even close. Onana was incredible though.Hurzeler had the best results as a newcomer. Slots win against United was in September.
>>144214008>>144214299Feel like Villa are a better project for a player like him. Ten Hagball could seriously deplete your reputation if the fans pick you to scapegoat. At Chelsea you would be stuck in the queue for minutes. City you are hardstuck behind Rodri. Villa have Champions League this season and Emery going for them. Arsenal or Liverpool would have benefitted from signing him though.
Man U tried to sign Amadou Onana and were snubbed for their efforts.
>>144215608>Ange can't level up playersDid it with Maddison A plodding Leicester City player became to a Tottenham Hotspur world-beater We all remember the Yid Army's social media(the only location the Army seems to despatch to)'s claims

>>144216104New health dept. when
imagine being haaland... just winning lifeprops mental that
and the thing is you cant even accuse haaland of like being propped up by a pep wonder team because he was scoring at the same rate in a comparatively tinpot dldortmund team
>>144215968I've literally never seen James Maddison do anything other than flop around
>>144215764Mbuemo 3 goals to win 6 points for his team is the best performance of the month easily. Haaland and Salah started the season at exceptional levels, but it's normal for them.
>>144216376agreed. annoys me about him. hes fragileno bollocks
>>144216367>you cant even accuse haaland of like being propped up by a pep wonder teamYes you can. Though you can also accuse Peps system of becoming truly unstoppable with Haaland. What did Haaland win, individual or team, before City ? Fuck all. Don't get me wrong Haaland City is the most devastating combo we've probably ever seen in this league overtaking Henry's Arsenal, United's Ronaldo and City's Aguero. But you can easily say Haaland is a system babby especially when you look at his all round performances. The guy is the best finisher maybe in English football history but he's not a total footballer. Will never win MOTM without scoring like Drogba, Kane, Evo, Rooney, Suarez regularly did and could.
>>144216427haaland is an aura striker. vvd pioneered this.
Day 29840 of waiting for the Sheff United takeover to complete
>>144216143Thank fuck
>>144217089It'll be Sheff Wed who get taken over first because their owner is dodgy as fuckNot fair either, Wednesday supporters are all horrible cunts
BREAKING>Michael Olise's priority move this summer was Manchester United but the club did not make a move due to financial constraints
>>144216489>>144216427who is evo and vvdand no even though pep makes a show that his success is to do with the system and not individual players (no player is essential, perhaps except for haaland now from the higher ups perspective) you cant accuse haaland of being system babby when he scored similar numbers at dortmund. no he didnt win anything but his ability should be judged on goals not trophies
>>144216427also i believe statisticall son has been a better finisher than haaland
>Man United have lost 25 in 79 PL games under ETH. >They 'only' lost 24 in 109 under OlePeople can say >penandes >empty stadium, but it's still mad regression to say the least.
>>144217131Story so obviously leaked from his agent I hate United, natural state of man, but if they wanted him they would've signed him. We know they're not short of cash nor ashamed to overspend
Steve Howey, if he had not twisted an ankle while jogging pre Euro 1996 he would have been in the England squad instead he was replaced by one G. Southgate. Howey would have Brexit balled that penalty, breaking the net, we would have beaten Kuntz and the rest of them. England would have been into the final and smashed Poborsky's rabble to become European champions.
>>144215407A reminder that Emma Hayes once considered herself above a League One job: https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11668/12208230/emma-hayes-clarifies-afc-wimbledon-comments-no-amount-of-money-is-going-to-tempt-me-away-from-chelsea>Chelsea Women boss Emma Hayes has clarified her stance after claiming AFC Wimbledon could not afford her, insisting it is not about money but the fact she has the "best job in the world".>Hayes had been linked with the vacancy at Wimbledon, which would have seen her become the first woman to manage a professional men's team in English football.>On Tuesday, Hayes emphatically shut down the reports, calling them an "insult" to women's football, while she also replied "absolutely not" when asked if the League One side would be able to convince her financially.>Speaking after Wednesday's League Cup semi-final win over West Ham, Hayes reiterated she was happy at Chelsea and that "no amount of money" would see her leave the role, where she has won three WSL titles and two Women's FA Cups in eight-and-a-half-years at the helm.>"Football is for everyone," she said. "It's not for the privileged, it's not for the few, it's not for the elite. Football is represented by a diverse society and within that diverse society men's football does not reflect the diverse society that we live in.>"I sincerely hope AFC Wimbledon find the right candidate for their football club. The whole point about them not being able to afford me is nothing to do with money, but everything to do with the fact that I'm in the best job in the world. No amount of money is going to tempt me away from that.She is a delusional nasty cunt. No shock she got the US job, they're just like her.
>>144217338It's clear new winger wasn't in United's priority last window. Like they could pay 60m euros like what Bayern paid but they didn't because they were working under a budget and you could see some deals like Mazraoui and Ugarte needed AWB and Mctominay to be sold first.
>Cole Palmer and Ben Chilwell are among four senior players left out of Chelsea's Conference League squad.>England forward Palmer, midfielder Romeo Lavia and defender Wesley Fofana have been purposely left out to manage their workload.I mean you've got a 40 man squad, how the fuck are you going to struggle either way to put players in? I assume Chelsea are going to try and throw it as soon as possible anyway
>>144217367Lol I called it in the other thread. There's simply no way there's not a single club in the pyramid that wouldn't give a woman coach a shout. Nothing about the men's team, it's about the top men's team
>>144217407It would make Spurs' infamous exit look irrelevant in comparison if they don't win the competition.
>>144217123who would buy that rotting liability?
My NT has now been filled with the half-dutchies
>>144217415Palmer is their best player and is literally soley responsible for the wins they've had so far and was vital for the draw last match day. Them kicking him out means one of two things1. Chelsea think they can win it without him2. Chelsea want to throw itBecause in the first game, he started and they won 2-0. The next game, he doesn't play at all and they lose 2-1. Palmer is single-handedly keeping Chelsea around. He's the top assister already iirc.
>>144217447Should have let the British colonise you instead. That way you could have Half-Bazza's.
>>144217272evo autocorrect stole my rvpvvd is obviously vvd
>>144217409>There's simply no way there's not a single club in the pyramid that wouldn't give a woman coach a shout.Except for the infamous Virtue Signal Rovers appointment: https://www.fgr.co.uk/news/dingley-named-caretaker-head-coach>Forest Green Rovers - recognised by FIFA and the United Nations as the world’s greenest football club - has today confirmed the appointment of Hannah Dingley as Caretaker Head Coach.>Dingley joined the club as a coach four years ago and remains the only woman in charge of a men's English Football League Academy.>During her tenure at the club, she has also initiated the launch of the FGR Girls Academy in 2021, which develops female players - mirroring the men's setup. She takes the reins with immediate effect.>Dale Vince, Chairman, Forest Green Rovers, commented: “Hannah was the natural choice to be first-team interim Head Coach - she’s done a fantastic job leading our Academy and is well aligned with the values of the club.>"It’s perhaps telling for the men’s game that in making this appointment on merit, we’ll break new ground - and Hannah will be the first female Head Coach in English (men’s) football."Games Dingley managed, all pre-season>D 1-1 against Melksham Town (8th tier)>W 2-0 against UCD (League of Ireland)>L 0-4 against Coventry (Championship)>W 1-0 against Everton U-21Pointless.
Those who say 'muh women' or 'muh blacks' don't care about 'muh woman' or 'muh blacks' they just want to be the ones getting £8m-£15m per year managing a top team that Gazza from Stockport could get at least a 65% win rate with.
>>144217480>Evertonkwab at all levels

>>144217471umm what do you mean then that vd pioneered the aura striker
>>144217480kek of course it would be bloody forest green rovers
>>144217500lolololololololololo
>>144217506I didn’t say the vvd aura comment but he meant that vvd pioneered being more known and rated for your aura (presence, style, dominance, personality) rather than football ability and performances
>>144217513It set the tone for the disaster season that followed.>any year in the history of the Earth>appointing Troy fucking Deeney as your manager
>>144217500To be fair, Palestine aren't that bad. They're ranked 96th. For example, Armenia are 97th, Uganda are 95th. Also New Zealand are 94th (I refuse to use their new FIFA name, fuck off retards).
Fun fact, Eritrea is unranked in FIFA, which is actually lower than San Marino.
>>144217572I should clarify that's because they've note played in over four years.
>>144217549>(I refuse to use their new FIFA name, fuck off retards)."Aotearoa New Zealand": https://inside.fifa.com/fifa-world-ranking/NZL?gender=menabsolutely gay>>144217572mainly because eritrea is the african equivalent of north korea and their players keep running off: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/nov/13/eritrea-withdrew-from-2026-world-cup-qualifying-over-fears-players-will-flee
>>144217590Yeah I corrected myself, but it's still funny. As for New Zealand, both they and their Aussie counterparts who keep trying to put new Union Flagless flags in annoys me. I know Martinique is French and uses French flag but they do have a specific flag for sporting events and other events but nobody uses it on broadcasts.
>>144206216>you can see what they're trying to doDescribe it to us.
post full kit wankers please
>>144217131I didn't know they had financial constraints. Not after FFP stopped applying to them (but still applies to everyone else btw).
>>144211978I'm more surprised he's 36
Gonna be piss funny when branthwaite goes United on a free next summer
>>144217710Funnily enough, after he left United, he got signed by 2 clubs which won their league each. Although in his move to Japan, he only got to play 1 game and it's not even a full 90 so I thought this dude must have been dusted.
>>144217717Aren't Everton in the shit via money as it is? Where they will likely need to sell in Jan? Sure that's what they will do. United will bid £40m (£25m+£15m performance) in Jan.
>>144217857If Everton get relegated United can get him for free
desu luxembourg would bootyblast all of the asian teams
>>144217923Ah. Well United can offer a contract in Jan (assuming he doesn't sign an extension) which means he can join on a free at the end. Or they can offer a fee to get him then and there six months earlier. Everton would be dumb to ignore it. But United will prob not want to pay above £15m if that was the case (assuming it looked like Everton were going to be relegated). I don't know if Branthwaite has an automatic extension clause thing.>>144217939I'm not sure about that. Japan, Australia, Iran are all good teams. Speaking of Luxembourg and minnows... San Marino is playing Liechtenstein in the Nations League I think soon and that is the ONLY team that San Marino has ever beaten (1-0 friendly win). Also I hate how there is an Liechtenstein and Lichtenstein. I always forget which one the country is.
I feel like ten Hag hasn't been grateful enough for how protective and supportive INEOS has been to him. INEOS has basically changed almost every personnel, both training staff and the management behind him like new CEO, sporting director, technical director, performance director and so on. If he still cannot change his braindead tactic where the team stays vulnerable everytime they face a fast counter-attack than he deserves every right to get sacked ASAP.
>>144198438probably just doesnt notice it
>>144218038In the same reasoning you must offer this protection to Ten Hag for at least this season because its his first season with proper support structure
>>144218135I'll give it til December. Missing out CL again will be disastrous.
For those who are interested in the game or care, FM24 is completely free (to keep) if you go claim it on Epic Games Store. Only have a week or so to claim it though But you all seem like FIFA Fannies anyway so you'll be too scared to do so!
>>144218179Just hate how miles overrates physicals
>>144218022Now that Leicester have avoided a points reduction its very possible that Everton finally get flushed
>>144218179Some people regularly talk about FM in here. But>supporting EGSNo.
>>144218200Yeah I get that, I don't like the platform either, but I use it for the free games and play them on my Steam Deck
we are massive
>>144218135Give him a lifetime contract. He's the most popu manager in the league, 19/20 clubs love this man!
>>144218296>we
>>144218382im off camera having a wank in the bogs
>>144216367Given that Pep's City was the best in the league and broke the goals record before Haaland joined, not to mention that Haaland disappears every big game I really think you can.
>>144218298Whenever I think of applying for coaching jobs I remember when my mate applied for the Newcastle job in like 2007 and he actually got a reply.
>>144218444wasn't there a lad who got a manager job by submitting his FM save file
>>144218414Imagine prime Haaland and Aguero. Cor.
My dream is to buy Preston North End and restore her to her proper glory. Need a real lancs club in Europe
Soloman Islands vs Hong Kong at 8:00am lads. Hope you're tuning in. Bhutan vs Bangladesh later tomorrow.

>>144218038i think if the team does poorly after the int break he's gone
