Not this again.

There are crimes and then there’s human rights atrocities. Chelsea were owned by a Russian individual who may have been shady but certainly paled in comparison to SA. City are owned by UAE - worse than Abramovich sure. The Qatari and Saudi ruling classes certainly compete in terms of crimes against humanity but I’d argue the Saudi’s take it every time

Aye. All I’m saying is if these clubs continue to win then the fans won’t care.

Oh yeah 100%. That BBC article I posted just made me laugh. Football fans aren’t exactly known for being the most socially conscious

Yep, the fans that boo players taking the knee against racism!

Only just put the spurs game on as Marseille scored. The fireworks are crazy sound like bombs going off!

Crikey that really is giving youth an opportunity!

Everton are so shit. It’s just awful watching them. Lampard next to go?

Also, Dwight McNeil is such a woeful professional footballer. I’m always shocked when he starts games. No pace, absolutely no right foot, doesn’t score goals, doesn’t create chances……I don’t get it.

What a performance from Villa! Absolutely battered Man U – their goal was a lucky deflection too. Mings had Ronaldo in his pocket all game.

You can see the change in tactics under merry already. After the WC break we will be a different beast.

I mean you lose 4-0 last week then batter Man United. How many days has Emery had?

4-1 away to Southampton. Stupid to concede in 88min but then Bruno scored again. Chelsea at home I think is the last game before the World Cup.

If Liverpool beat Spurs tonight we stay 3rd. Fucking unbelievable. Miggy scored again so 7 in 7 for him.

Don’t even need to scroll down these days looking forward to MOTD tonight.

7goals in 7 for miggy now, 8 for the season.

Previous best was 4.

Mad what can happen when you’ve got a tactically astute manager in charge!

That’s going to be a lot of money. More than Chelsea.

If anyone hadn’t watched it yet there’s a rad documentary about Messi on iPlayer.

Nice :goat: Will watch tomorrow. Anyone hear Crouch on his podcast say if you choose Ronaldo over Messi then he doesn’t think you know football that well :joy:
