Premier League 2020/21

Can't wait for the Harry Maguire Banged up Brits Abroad episode on Channel 5 in a few years time 

[Hobo]

Somehow I saw that there was blame being put on  "Albanian gangsters" that Maguire was trying to save his sister from. A story which seems to originate from The S*n. Because of course it did.

It originates form his lawyer who used it today in court.

[METALMAN]

The whole thing does seem to be a bit dodgy. Maguire seems to have landed in an unfortunate situation that was not of his making but appears to have dealt with it appallingly badly.

[The Lusophone]

I think Maguire can point at the speed of the trial, the fact that his defence wasn't granted their application to delay the thing to have adequate time to prepare and the general corruption present in Greece to suggest that he's not been treated particularly fairly tbh.

United statement:

 

#MUFC: “Manchester United notes the verdict of the Greek court. Harry Maguire pleaded not guilty to all of the misdemeanour charges made against him + he continues to strongly assert his innocence...”

#MUFC: “On this basis, along with the substantial body of evidence refuting the charges, Harry Maguire’s legal team will now appeal the verdict, to allow a full + fair hearing at a later date.”

[Lineker]

He's been given a 21 month suspended prison sentence.

[The Lusophone]

And statement from Harry Maguire:

Harry Maguire statement: “Following the hearing, I have instructed my legal team with immediate effect to inform the courts we will be appealing. I remain strong + confident regarding our innocence in this matter - if anything myself, family + friends are the victims.” #MUFC

A Greek lawyer in a country that has a high number of Albanian immigrants could never possibly use a particular negative stereotype of a minority group to defend a rich client?

I'm skeptical as to whether these alleged "gangsters" existed all told. Especially given how the original reports made it seem like he was in a fight with other tourists who were also English.

I didn’t address the validity of the statement. But the origin of the story is the lawyer, true or false.

Andy Carroll clearly worried Messi might rock up in Newcastle.

Sky Sports have got rid of Le Tiss, Thommo and Charlie.

The show needs some fresh blood tbh but HOW THE FUCK DID MERSON SURVIVE?!

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

Merson's talked absolute rubbish for years, can't believe he's not first on the list of cuts.

[Lineker]

Literally took the words out of my mouth. Merson is the worst.

[Colly]

Sure Le Tissier can find some work on the David Icke circuit. Prick.

My first thoughts were that Le Tissier's too into the conspiracy theory scene for my liking. He hasn't gone full Peter Ebdon yet, but I still don't want to see him on television.

Chelsea and Brighton have decided to have a friendly match this weekend, 2 weeks before they play each other in their opening league game.

What.

Vince McMahon is booking their matches, presumably.
