    Lille sign Anal Virgin. <ok> Should help them tighten up at the back.

    Yeah, he's clean through on goal without it, for me.
    Highly rated youngster who'll hopefully learn from making a stupid, costly mistake.

    Jim Radcliffe says he wants to buy Man Utd

    He's waiting for a deadline to be set so he can make a bid several weeks after the fact and then cry about his bid not being accepted. Again...

    Is Morgan Gibbs-White that good?
    I’d be expecting change from £10M
    How did Forest get to £44M?

    That's my thought in ALL transfers.

    It’s crazy money for someone that’s only shone in a loan spell in the Championship. He does look a decent enough talent but a £44m deal for someone like that is ridiculous.

    He's 22, homegrown and has played a good number of games for his age.
    Wolves weren't looking to sell him, so Forest have to pay a premium.
    £25m + £17m in add-ons isn't that silly. If they pay them, then I'm sure it'll have been worth it.

    Forest have spent huge money on a lot of new faces. Be interesting to see how they get on.

    Another club with a business model based on guaranteed membership of the PL?

    Wow. Big signing for Man Utd. I rate Casemiro as one of the best defensive midfielders in the world. But that’s a lot of dough they’re forking out. £60m, £350k p/w wages and a 4 year contract for a 30-year old (31 later this season) mean they must have a lot of belief he’s going to be a central component of their team for the next 3+ years.

    Interesting to see if he works out of if he’s another Falcao, di Maria, to a lesser extent Varane…

    2 games of watching Slabhead and the hobbit at the back and they’re spending £60m on someone to take a large chunk of their workload off them.

    Smart move to be fair.

    Brazillian players who are the wrong side of 30 have a certain reputation regarding fitness. Once he's played in the World Cup and is 31, will he want to flog himself around the pitch in the PL, rescuing some of United's less committed players?

    United are paying top money for him and to him. I have my doubts as to whether he'll prove to be worth it, no matter what has gone before.

    Finished the last two episodes last night of Arsenal's All or Nothing.

    Not sure if it's me being a Spurs fan but found it dull and monotonous. All or Nothings are usually pretty decent.

    Few snippets I took away:

    Arteta is a weird ****. Some proper unorthodox and eccentric team talks. Don’t think he’d be able to manage a team of big players.
    Saka comes across a really good bloke, a shame he's a gooner as otherwise I'd have a lot of time for him, likewise Martinelli.
    Holding, Nketiah and Elneny are solid professionals and good team guys even if ****e players.
    Smith Rowe talks like an absolute divkid, must have been dropped on the head a few times. He's lucky he's a footballer because otherwise he'd definitely be signing on.

    I read that they didn't mention the postponement of the NLD in January.
    How did they cover the NLD and Toon games in May?

    I've only seen clips here and there, but Arteta sounds like such a little bitch.



    You're the manager! It's your responsibility! Don't cry about having to do a ****ing interview.
    What a weak ****er.

    Of course he hurts. Probably cost him a huge bonus.

    No mention of the postponement whatsoever.

    I won’t give any spoilers about the coverage of the second NLD/ Toon game though, lol.
