Rival watch

Rumours suggest that City are signing about half of Monaco's side and a few others for about £500m.
That Guardiola must be a superb coach, eh?

 

Remember a couple of years back when somebody posted a graphic showing Man Utd's lineup if all the summer rumours were true, and they'd have had to field something like forty players?

 

That's true, but City have already started:


A lot of the other rumours seem to be pretty solid sounding, too.
They're talking about deals being done this week, rather teams being vaguely interested in players.
We'll see what happens, but I don't think that they're drawing out their transfers in this window.

 

I can think of one that'll be drawn out right up until they end up signing Bellerin instead...

 

Tiddly winks, but there's some support for switching to hurling, as it looks like an insane mashup of football and baseball.

 

Brendan Rodgers now being compared to the great Jock Stein.

Unbelievable.

 

I can't stand Rodgers and the comparison to Stein's clearly ridiculous, but he's had a good season.
The SPL's a massively uncompetitive league with a pretty low standard, but going unbeaten domestically's still an achievement.
I wonder if anyone will be willing to take a punt on him in the summer or if he'd want to leave?
Nothing left to do up there really, but any other job's far riskier.

 

Those feckin' Chavs couldn't have done this in the semi, could they!!!! Looks like they're still hungover from the PL celebrations!!

 

I'm genuinely surprised to see the number of times Eden Hazard has stayed on his feet in the Arsenal penalty area. Usually the little prick's flinging himself around even when they're 2-0 up.

As for the goal, I can't be alone in expecting video refs to be fast-tracked now that Chelsea are 1-0 down to a goal that was three feet offside which had a handball in the buildup.

 

Why isn't Ramsey offside? Everyone says the ref was right but Ramsey clearly influences Courtois not coming to the ball definitely interfering with play.

 

I have no idea. I thought that I was missing something.
He's offside, moves towards the ball, shapes to hit it and Courtois hesitates because of it.
Pretty obvious and straightforward one, as far as I can see.

 

Bye bye Victor you cheat.

 

It's almost sad that the entire matchday thread on the Chav board is almost literally nothing but one of their many, many thickets arguing with themselves.

Almost...

 

Moses dives just as he did against us. Cheating ****!

 

Moses gets a 2nd yellow in 11 minutes - this time for diving - twat!!!
Goons to lose now....

 

Can somebody forward this clip to Martin Twatkinson?

Just so he understands what his ****ing job is.

 

Saving grace is that a Goons win will guarantee another season of Wenger!!

 

Yes, but Conte was a fool to leave him on when he'd been total **** the entire game. I was hoping he'd yank him after 10 minutes. It figures in the one game I root for them, the entire team is awful and Conte's an idiot.

(Edit) RCL, is that how it's done?

 

What is it with Arsenal and Chelsea strikers? First Drogba, now Costa.
