Madrid's version of Tiki-Taka, with the almighty Isco at the head. ROFL.

 

What a sad Spain was that one. 

 

 

[Batong 253]

Ingerland in the quarters. Not bad.

 

They are being cocky again, usually a good sign of hubris on their part.

[SupahBlah 424]

I don't know anyone being cocky really. "it's coming home" is sarcastic BANTZ as the kids would say.

 

Heard Juventus have bid £88m for Ronaldo, Real would be stupid to turn that down at his age.

[Izzy 388]

Batong, my nigger, you were saying?

[Batong 253]

Even lightning strikes twice at times, Izzy

 

Good luck in the final mate.

[Izzy 388]

It's too early to talk about final, Croats are very formidable opponents, but they do lack a WC striker...

 

 

Belgium - France should be quite tasty...

[SupahBlah 424]

France pretty much deserved their win.

 

Pogba was pretty good all tournament, bodes well for United this season.

[SupahBlah 424]

A goalkeeper. 

 

I imagine Klopp after the Tranmere game was like fuck this.

[Batong 253]

His remark about not spending that big on one player has come back to bite him in the arse twice in a year.

 

Oh well.

 

Still feel like we're an injury away on that front forward line to mount a full title challenge, but we should definitely be up there.

 

Carling cup win it is (or whatever it is called now)

[SupahBlah 424]

Who gives a fuck about that comment really? If you look at our actual spends they aren't that much.

 

Coutinho basically bought Alisson and van Dijk.

[Izzy 388]

So, I take it, Klopp's leaving...

 

 

 

[godhand 153]

Klopp doesn't buy FUT coins in the black market, but he does buy FUT player packs. 

[SupahBlah 424]

I like how Izzy ignored my post just to post a giant picture version of it.

 

It's okay dude, United signed Fred for £50m.

[godhand 153]

I have stopped giving a shit about how much a club spends tbh. The biggest part of being a winning club is managing well the financial aspect. As long as financial fair rules are abided by, there is no problem. 

[SupahBlah 424]

The people constantly bringing up that Klopp quote randomly seem to be United and Chelsea fans.

 

Probably the same ones giving us shit last season for signing Robinson for basically free.

[Izzy 388]

Supah, if he has an ounce of moral fibre left, he'll walk...  

[SupahBlah 424]

away with the title?

[Izzy 388]

 

 

We'll see. Zero expectations on my part, though...

[SupahBlah 424]

I just can't see past City. That team was incredible and they have Mendy back and signed Mahrez.

[SupahBlah 424]

Everton are supposedly signing Richarlison for £50m today so I don't want to hear shit about how much we paid for anyone.

[Frank 187]

It's been a while.  Are you all ready for Milan to return as the king of football with our new hedge fund owners?

[SupahBlah 424]

Hilarious Milan got European football by basically showing that UEFA didn't penalise City or PSG as heavily.

I sincerely hope it's some kind of money laundering scheme...

We got European football by qualifying on the pitch.

 

Also what you said isn't really true.  We were penalized so heavily because UEFA had zero faith in the Chinese ownership.  Their initial decision was based on that.  Right before the appeal, the hedge fund took over the club, kicked out the Chinese, and UEFA found we now have solid financial backing.

This is the kind of uplifting, romantic story that only the world of elite-level football can provide.
