What, like Casedei?

We're likely to need about 4-5 players coming in, so it's better to get a manager in who will actually be using them

Are we just naming beardy not-hairs now?

This is absolutely bonkers. I couldn't have dreamed this up with all the drugs in the world.

What is it with big clubs appointing younger managers just because of Pep? Sure, Arteta has worked out - to a point but are Bayern and Chelsea mental?

Funnily enough, years ago I used to teach 16-19 year olds and every year one of the "controversial topics" we'd discuss was the idea of some sort of national service. By and large, they were generally in favour - IF everyone from top to bottom and rich to poor took part.

No

Barely a game of football there. Absolute joke, really. Neither deserved to win.

Neither of these look good for going up

Ha

Cheers both. The hill training made a HUGE difference. Cannot recommend it enough.

Manchester today. My second ever half. First was 2:17 and I was aiming for 2:05. Did it in 1:56. Well pleased.

I think he's probably fine after 20 odd years.

Good for the game really. Had enough of Pep now. Can he go as well please?

Does he see it late?

Tbf United have managed to pull it out the bag in derbies

What a cock up

No idea he was on the Apprentice. I did a journalism degree and know far better qualified people who don't have a BBC regional gig covering their team.

He won a league title 2 years ago and reached UCL semi. It would be the most "Chelsea" appointment, out of those mentioned.

Piloi has announced he's leaving Milan. That must certainly get the attention of a few clubs.

I'll take Poch here

Sure, it's all D:ream now but the Blair years eventually gave us Coldplay, Razorlight and that god awful Monster song.

I remember watching Lookman play for us, thinking he'd sign permanent

Do you mean plastered or PLASTERED?

The thing is they want the super league AS WELL AS the prem. They basically don't want to have to work to be in Europe. Man United have zero form of European competition next season (unless they beat Man City, somehow) and there is a somewhat real possibility that they could be out of Top 4 for a good while. They won't want that. Even the foreign teams won't want that. They don't want to rock up at Villa Park or Selhurst or Brighton. They want the "big boys", even if they lose.
