    The simple reason is that, given the article was doing the rounds last night, that means that it's up to Conte to unleash his lawyers - and if the article is still up on Friday, that means and his agent have kept their lawyers on a leash because they know that at best the Streisand Effect will come into play, at worse they'd demand a retraction and lose when the evidence gets held in front of them

    That allows both 48 hours for Conte's lawyers to respond, plus 24 hours for CaughtOffside's to advise whether to post a retraction

    So I'm assuming these are legal/statutory timelines?

    More a case of response

    Given both Conte and his agent have been accused of taking bungs on transfer deals, which is a serious allegation to make, that would have him on the phone to his lawyers immediately and they would respond PDQ

    So if there is no retraction up on Friday, that means he held off contacting his lawyers, and given the seriousness of the allegation there is only one conclusion

    So out of the midfield of Giggs, Scholes, Keane and Beckham, the uncontroversial one is Keane?
    That's... different.

    I don't do **** like twatter so maybe you could put him right for me.
    Axel is still in the squad (out on loan)
    Pellistri is still in the squad (out on loan)
    Cavani and Ronaldo are strikers, Sancho isn't


    Thanks in advance

    Interesting how you don't suggest that Varane is better than Taunzebe...

    I read it twice because i couldn't believe the stupidity of the man, nobody has been "kicked out" except Dan James who unfortunately was never going to make it.

    Why would anyone have to point out to you that Varane is better than Axel? you put yourself up as the font of all football knowledge.

    “I’d love Arsenal or Tottenham away in the next round and then wait for the really big guns when it’s two legs”.

    Sunderland manager Lee Johnson, after they beat QPR last night.

    Greenwood looks like a real talent. Does he play through the middle or is he yet another one who prefers cutting in from out wide?
