A thread for random stuff that doesn't warrant new threads or ancient bumps (I know what some of you are like in that regard).


Had no idea he was at Wigan. Crazy part is that they gave the novice a 3.5 year deal. Won't be a cheap sacking and he has left them rock bottom. Why do clubs put themselves in this position so often?

PSG with a 48k capacity have the highest match day revenue. Totally believable.

Toure didn't win a single game. One of the worst managerial stints.

Whoa. Another 3.5 year deal to yet another novice.

Tiemoué Bakayoko fits in this thread I think. Ludicrous situation.

Milan won't play him as they don't want to buy him. But no-one else can agree a deal with him, so he is stuck there, not playing.

Hasn't played a match in anger for Chelsea since 2018 I read.

With all those 8 year contracts they have been dishing out, it couldn't happen to them again, could it ;)

Reddit comment:

"Signed him and didn't announce it until he was silently slipped into the teamsheet (and even then, the tweet says they made two changes to the previous side and names only one of them, conveniently leaving the detail of his inclusion out!)

Clearly tried the underhanded tactic of signing him on the downlow and hoping nobody would notice, knowing the blowback they would get."

:lol:

Let's chat = will not reply
Ha, I want to know when was the first time a manager started saying they had a 'project'?

For some reason it bugs me! I think it's Andre Villas Boas but anyone, anyone?

It's Old English and translates to, "We have a project at this football club."

Infantino and Jermaine Jenas on stage together. Should've invited James Corden and you'd have the ultimate collection of twats.

They pick a formation with one CB for the world XI thing and it's Van Dijk. :lol:

Not even the best over the hill centre half at a midtable PL club.

They went for a 3-3-4 formation just to accomodate those four in attack. They could have placed Messi as midfielder at least, a 3-4-3 is more believable!
