At least Laporte seems to be a bit more honest than the others. The claim "we didn't know the quality of life would be so bad" tells it all about how uneducated the majority of these footballers are. They just live inside their own elitist golden cage. If someone from North Korea offers them a £1 billion contract they might accept it.

Didn't realize Dier had joined Kane at Bayern.

Lol he didnt play but it would very epic for kane and dier to finish 2nd place in a season everyone would expect bayern to likely win.

 

They have a game in hand right? So if they win that then 4 pts back. They just need to beat leverkusen and it will be back on.

 

I do hope bayern munich dont win it though!

It would be epic (failure) but traditionally Bayern suddenly goes up 2-3 gears every season in mid February onwards.

Dovbyk 6 minutes hat-trick...

If this happens I would love to see a Vardy vs Kane documentary next year. I have the title already: "Rock you like a Vardykane".

Name a stellar striker like Kane's scoring etc record, or be it a player who played in another position and was genuinely excellent in their game, who had never won anything.

This is the post I came to this thread for.  Imagine Kane joining just as Bayern start dropping down the table.  Too funny.

Chris Sutton: one England cap, Norwich player of the season once upon a time, a paid-for Prem title, and some bollocks from Scotland no one cares about. 
 

It’s amazing how little he won given how much of a gobshite he is. 

[Wymsey]

It was very harsh on Almeria to lose against Real Madrid yesterday.

 

Vinicius' goal seemed handball, whilst Almeria had a goal ruled out - which would've been their third - for some unknown reason.

Even so, the way Bayer Leverkusen are going, Bayern could win their remaining games and still struggle to pip them.

Why're you holding that against them? It's pretty much the norm.

Because Vardy’s wasn’t.

Hosts Ivory Coast 4-0 lost 4-0 to Equatorial Guinea and must be in danger of going out of the AFCON?

 

Drama in Group B as Ghana blew a 2 goal lead in injury time v Mozambique and Egypt scored then let one in against Cape Verde!

It makes it even better if he breaks loads of individual scoring records as well and they don't win it

No AFCON thread? Enjoying watching Amartey getting bodied on Xitter for crimes against defending for Ghana 

 

Then again he was part of a defence that shipped 3 against Comoros (the Iceland / Luxembourg of Africa) this time 2 years ago, so we should have learned our lesson then.
