The Camp Nou renovation kept Barcelona from having a stop on the Eras tour, so I imagine they would've maybe had one if not for that happening.

 

He signed up*

What a crazy story haha MLS never disappoints

 

Oh so he also scored 6 goals haha

 

Ah, grand

 

Sancho for cheap in January would be nice if his wages weren’t so high.

 

Sancho to City confirmed

 

Is Sancho the first footballer to move home, yet fail to adapt?

 

Hell yeah

 

Tebas is the dumbest.

They had potentially the two biggest clubs in the world, spearheaded by easily the two best players, for about a decade. An incredible headstart. But they made everything revolve around them. TV money stayed horrifically uneven, and they failed to raise the standards and profile of the rest of the league.

Atletico Madrid rising to make it a big three was a miracle that briefly made the league more interesting, but no one cares about Elche vs Granada, because the league never cared either. So people stopped watching.

And now they wonder why their league is in financial trouble and is the fourth most watched in Europe?

 

No Friday kick-off this gameweek, so the Fantasy deadline reverts back to Saturday at 11:00 GMT.

Really looking forward to Bayern v Leverkusen tonight. Hoping Leverkusen at least make a game of it.

 

Looks like Everton have new owners pending regulatory approval.

 

Not going down too well, it must be said. Even Standard Liege fans are coming to our sub and offering their condolences.

 

Because the meme has become bigger than the film itself

 

I think the joke is that those descriptions apply to the meme and to City (dodgy finances, Pep and the rumours of dodgy doctors etc.).

 

Video is funny and Walker is back and probably ends up retiring with us I would think. Love him, great dressing room player and doesn't sulk when he is in the Pep churning wheel and so good on the pitch when he is on.

 

I really wish we could have our own national stadium

 

Not relevant to your comment but....

Had a tough question poised to me, Zabby or Walker for favorite modern City fullback? I don't know how to answer that. Its so damn hard.

 

Because New York, LA, or Chicago need one more exclusive thing taken from the rest of us.

 

I'm gonna preface this and remind everyone that I'm Mexican-American.

There are too many Mexicans living in those cities to do one of those stadiums. I feel like USSF would only do it in a city/stadium where it would predominantly be a pro-US crowd. So like Cincy or something. But they would never do that since they'd be losing out on big $$$

 

I never got to see Zabby week to week so that's easy for me. I was thinking though that IDK if I like any team as much as I do this Pep era. My football lens has changed so much because of the different styles he's created in his tenure.
