I hope the rest of Precourt's life is absolutely miserable. Fucking snake.

 

This Austin move is such a mess. I don't need to pile onto the list of reasons why it's despicable in terms of what it means for Columbus, but it's also crippling for San Antonio, which is the better market and has done everything the right way to organically prove itself as a deserving city, not knowing this jackass was going to steal their chance.

So much damage, direct and collateral, from an asshole owner's sneaky bullshit.

 

And I LOVE Austin. I think it's a cool fit for the league. But not like this. Can't imagine my team up and leaving like this.

 

I think one of the worst parts is that MLS is seemingly cool with this, but its not surprising given how they've handled some things in the past. (*coughNYCFCandtheirlackofahomecough*)

 

I’m ashamed at how long I spent looking for this interaction. It popped into my head and I had zero context in my memory.

 

I cannot remember what this was about

 

Rumors of Vince McMahon bidding for Newcastle

 

I think he took out Casemiro and got carded. I barely remember but my brain remembered I said it when I saw it in a meme on Facebook

 

At least the drama would be scripted?

 

Speaking of Newcastle being up for sale, did anyone see how it was worded? It sounds like Ashley is leaning towards selling the club, but loaning a buyer the money to do so or at least providing a loan of some sort once the sale is complete. Sounds typically shady, especially from the man who says that all his wealth is in stocks and so he doesn't have cash...

There's also a suggestion around that he's massively overvaluing the club.

*sigh*

 

Oh yeah!

 

All the stuff coming out about the Aluko bullying by Sampson is pretty grim reading.
Especially how the FA acted after the allegations were made

Mark Sampson: FA apologises over remarks to Eniola Aluko & Drew Spence

 

The amount of bitter racism on Twitter about it is crazy. Why do people go to bat for racists?

 

reporting in to remind people that Alan Shearer is a legend.

 

Shearer was the player I wanted to be when I was a youngster. I’ve still got my 95/96 Blackburn shirt with his name on the back.

 

Sunday lads.

Most intense derby in the world*

*other derbies may be more intense

 

He chooses invisibility to go to a United team talk, yet turned us down twice. Some lad, eh.

 

Own Goal is officially Barcelona’s second leading scorer this season.

 

Expecting Norwich to take an early lead and then their players will spend the rest of the game hitting the deck at any opportunity and taking a few minutes with every throw in. Mick to come out at the end and point out what cheats they are.

Would love McCarthy as the next Wednesday manager if we ever get round to sacking Carvalhal.

 

What a ridiculous tackle on Rashford.

 

What a joke this ref is

 

Fuck, what a goal by Dzeko. Everyone check it out asap

 

What a goal. Feel bad for the keeper. Carried the ball back into his goal.

 

Pique was a bit dumb to use his hand while on a yellow.
