DONE DEAL~!

Edit: wrong thread

Late to the party, but why disappointment? I haven't really been following but it looks amazing. I've been crying out for something like this game for like two decades.

Career expectancy in Italy is way higher anyway, that's before taking into account Ronaldo's role in recent seasons meaning he barely ever has to burst into an actual sprint. And obviously on top of that, he takes very good care of himself.

And he's a Manc! Perfect.

It'll be different for each club, but you've got no chance of sitting in the away end without being a Leicester season ticket holder. So, you'd have to try for the home section - for which you'd have to register you both as United members (an annual fee x2), add her to your "friends and family" section, and both try to purchase tickets individually and just hope that you both get one. There is but one guarantee with footy tickets: there are no guarantees. Oh, and obligatory warning to not use touts or resellers. Not only because you risk getting fake tickets, but also because ultimately other fans suffer for it.

Fekir's agent claims the story of his move to Liverpool "is not over yet."

Se queda!

I can't even mock you, I just feel bad. I said years ago that I wouldn't have Mourinho at Liverpool even with the guaranteed league title he likely comes with and got roundly mocked - but this is exactly the type of reason why. United fans, dare I say it, deserve better, bar the ones that already have Setubal Syndrome for him.

There has been talk that Wilson has some attitude problems that have rubbed Klopp the wrong way which is why he hasn't got a look in despite seeming talented enough.

Actually, the owners stood in Coutinho's way. Klopp, by all accounts, wanted him gone. Can has literally never expressed a desire to leave before his contract runs out, so I have no idea where you're getting that from.

I really fucking wish the opportunistic Tory press would stop using Hillsborough families to try and counter the safe standing debate. This is an outright fabrication. In actuality, many of the Hillsborough families attended Celtic Park with Spirit of Shankly and the vast majority have since given their support for rail seating after experiencing it.

This is silly and demonstrates the lack of awareness of how concussions actually work. Karius showed no obvious signs of a concussion (besides throwing the ball in his own net, hahaha, before you all get in there first). Nobody even knew he had suffered a head injury. He got up pretty much straight away afterwards, didn't say anything to anyone, and the referee didn't stop play (not his fault either). Medical staff aren't allowed to review video during matches, so essentially what you're asking is for them to have spotted the clash from 50m+ away through a crowd of people and reacted to it, despite nobody else making it obvious that a head injury had occured. Even if they HAD saw it, they are not allowed within the rules of the game to just walk onto the pitch. They have to be invited on by the referee, who also saw no reason to suspect a head injury had occurred from up close. If anything, the only criticism is on concussion protocol which is still way behind other sports. In all honesty teams need to be allowed temporary substitutes in these instances so that the proper time can be taken to undergo testing.

Exactly like he did with Lacazette?

Apparently the paper in France that broke it is god-tier reliable, but few of our journos have squashed it. And then allegedly Sadio Mane goes and talks about him joining in his a post-match interview with some French journos. Weird situation. Would be a fantastic signing though.

Not to mention 100 Liverpool fans stabbed in Rome in '84.

Just the 25 goals and 17 assists for Bobby Firmino this season. We really need to sign a 20 goal a season striker.

The not wanting a 'building job' is nonsense anyway. Ancelotti wanted the Liverpool job before Klopp got it, and we were arguably in a worse situation than Arsenal are now.

I wonder if it might be worth taking a punt on Bielsa in the short-term. He's available, and it definitely has a quick expiration date like Mourinho, but he's the kind of disciplined coach that could do wonders for a squad of talented but underachieving players. I'd fancy him to get you back in the Champions League (presuming you don't win Europa) and then you can rebuild properly from a position of more stability.

I'd be shocked if Rafa left England. His family are very settled in Liverpool and haven't left even when Rafa's managed abroad. I reckon they'll get Ancelotti but I'm not sure such a passive coach is what those Arsenal players need. Most of them need a kick up the arse from someone like Simeone.

"Abuse your new manager as if he were me."

Had to cool on this for a while because work got crazy, but finally finished the story last night. Edit: Whoops, used Quote tags instead of Spoiler tags.
