2718798, August Futbol: the re-restart
Posted by benny, Tue Sep-01-20 04:18 PM
Charity shield this weekend, plus a few games in Ligue 1 for whoever cares (allStah Lyon-Dijon about to start on BeIn fwiw)
2718801, let's do it again boys

2718802, We signed Thiago Silva for one year, and not 2 years.
Posted by allStah, Fri Aug-28-20 02:41 PM
I feel better now. Year two is optional. I can deal with that.

Welcome to the club Thiago!

Don’t like the Havertz deal, but he is a chelsea guy now. So let’s go!
And Pulisic get your ass on the pitch and stay on it.

2718816, Holy shit the Arsenal shirt

Too early to be staring at this
2718818, 🤮🤮🤮

2718822, I love it, less about the shirt, but that kit in totally

*chefs kiss*

I'm buying those shorts just to rock it around the house, so gd gorgeous! The color + the cut!


Plus the intro video for it Is epic. We're not very relevant in the global football stage at this point, But we still got it in terms of branding, fun stuff:

2718817, Auba reminding them what he’s worth
Posted by benny, Sat Aug-29-20 10:45 AM
Beautiful strike
2718819, That shit was lovely
Posted by vik, Sat Aug-29-20 11:24 AM
Is Liverpool just not really trying right now? Arsenal have been on the front foot almost the entire first half.

PS: Auba, come to Barça plz.

Edit: also loved the Black Panther/Boseman celebration.
2718821, Surely this is the motivation they need to close on the Thiago move
Posted by benny, Sat Aug-29-20 11:27 AM
MF looking super turgid when Milner plays. Firmino/Salah waupy too static too
2718823, Argh don't get me started on Thiago! Would love to see him there tho nm
Posted by vik, Sat Aug-29-20 11:36 AM
2718824, I can never figure out their spending policy
Posted by smutsboy, Sat Aug-29-20 11:51 AM
It's not like John Henry doesn't have the money.

I get that they're all about developing young talent rather than buying it all.

But trying to go through another entire season with basically only one full starting XI would be a mistake and there's no way Klopp doesn't know that.

2718825, That was fun. can we just move into Wembley
Posted by calminvasion, Sat Aug-29-20 12:42 PM
Any game there and regardless of circumstances I feel good. Can't say same for Emirates.

Lots of key players missing too. But still an exhibition.

Really need midfield enforcements!


And please keep Ainsley!
2718826, Maybe Thiago moves to north London?

2718838, No chance. I just want to get Dani back + a good athlete

Would love to be surprised.
2718857, 5 straight Champions League title for Lyon women
Posted by benny, Sun Aug-30-20 03:51 PM
I’m no fan of JM Aulas but what he has built on the women’s side of his club is insane
2718899, RE: 5 straight Champions League title for Lyon women
Posted by upUPNorth, Mon Aug-31-20 05:21 PM
it's getting obnoxious, but I also don't mind watching them win, even when I like the other team. They were even missing a bunch of their regular starters, but they still have a ridiculous lineup. When they signed Karchoui that just wasn't fair lol. It's like watching USWNT at the last World Cup, they just showed up.

Now's a pretty good time to start trying to watch the Women's Super League too, Man City signed Rose Lavelle and Sam Mewis, there was a whole exodus after that NWSL Cup finished. Man U were rumoured to be looking at Heath and Press. I read some tweet somewhere that that level of Lyon Dominance is 'costing' the club $10 million euros, I wouldn't mind seeing some other big clubs realize they can spare that much and compete with that.
2718900, Karchaoui is bae
Posted by BrooklynWHAT, Mon Aug-31-20 06:06 PM
How do you pronounce her name 🤔

I remember being impressed with Diame in the WWC and then wondering why Karchaoui wasn’t playing
2718920, I think it's like Car-Chow-ee
Posted by upUPNorth, Tue Sep-01-20 08:35 AM
I probably have too many women's soccer baes lol

She's still young and they seem to have a lot of talent in her position to develop in France, and they seemed to favour OL players back then, which she was not yet. Her performance at that U20 world cup where she got moved from mid-field to that left-back position due to someone's injury was crazy, she played out of her own 18 yard box with more confidence than a lot of strikers in their oppositions.
2718894, United signs van de Beek and Grealish gets his England callup FINALLY
Posted by magilla vanilla, Mon Aug-31-20 11:22 AM
And we're bringing in Matty Cash, which will make Freddie Guilbert the CONSERVATIVE option at right back. It's a good day.
2718904, Do you think Grealish stays this summer?
Posted by DunDaDa, Mon Aug-31-20 08:04 PM
It really is just a matter of when at this point. United is rumored, but if it comes following the purchase of D.VDB, it looks a little suspect. I'm not sure how they both see the pitch at the same time.

2718909, we're still working on RW/CB
Posted by BrooklynWHAT, Mon Aug-31-20 08:20 PM
if they find an interesting CM deal they might do it. but if villa wants 70m for grealish then VDB at a much better deal is good enough for me. he's CL proven and experienced international

i bet grealish will end up at arsenal or liverpool for the 21/22 season
2718925, I think so. I think some assurances have been made
Posted by magilla vanilla, Tue Sep-01-20 12:18 PM
and if he doesn't like where things have turned he'll be allowed to go in January or Summer. Until then, it's pay up or kick rocks. Edens and Sawiris aren't hurting for cash, so they don't need the money and Edens likely sees Jack as Football Giannis for lack of a better comparison.
