Their continuation is really the crux of it. Some people like to pretend that Pep is a Sir Alex, Busby, Shankly sort who has built the club. But he’s just a face for a state backed business with political objectives. If Abu Dhabi still care after...

Depends how invested Abu Dhabi are after Pep leaves. He was always the end game for them as per the “copy Barca” mandate. Abu Dhabi might lose some of the cold, ruthless business pragmatism they’ve shown since they took over once the project...

Most of their old guard fans are watching County or give less of a shit since City Group bleached any identity they had. The ones left are a spectacular example of how quickly fans can become a bunch of whiney, spoiled brats when enough money and...

It’s not a formality to win it, but it’s certainly easier to win these days than it used to be as the gap between the top teams and the rest is so much bigger. Add to that the number of top teams now is a lot smaller than it used to be. 15 or 20...

You couldn’t ever get top that season with all the twists, turns, moments of drama. I don’t think any team will ever come close to the rollercoaster events. The absolute pinnacle of English football.

As opposed to a system dominated by City Group, who have overwhelming financial superiority, legal resources, and political power behind them.

I’m glad City have overthrown the football aristocracy. It was really boring before when the same teams were winning the league all the time.

They’re already the best ever side. With the best ever fans and the best ever manager and best ever players.

Most of the younger folks will only really remember Wenger’s later years when they weren’t competitive. That rivalry was as bitter as it got at its peak. Klopp and Pep isn’t remotely comparable.

Obviously a bellend, but it’s interesting how he’s been almost erased from the history books despite plenty of other players (active included) being outed for complete twats as well.

Imagine growing up dreaming of being a journalist, studying at university, having visions of taking on high-profile investigations, making watergate-style journalistic revelations that rock the world, travelling the globe covering major stories...

Dusted off my PS5 for the first time in 7 or 8 months. Got myself Helldivers 2 and I’m enjoying it immensely. I haven’t got the time or patience to faff about with adventure games or anything too involved these days so just being able to jump in...

Lara Croft is certainly an iconic character, but she’s comfortably below Mario, Sonic, Pac-Man etc.

I imagine the EFL Emergency Fund will cover private jets to the Bahamas for top execs.

None of that counts for shit anymore. It basically comes down to which country you’re owned by.
