It seems a regular pattern to refuse to back the manager then sack him when he can’t perform literal miracles.

Either that or something big went down after the match.

 

Yeah, I kind of hope he said something more outrageous to the owners in private. If they're going to sack him for what he said after the game, then I don't think any manager stands a chance.

 

Absolutely ridiculous they sacked him. That team is woefully unprepared for PL. enjoy getting destroyed all year and getting sent right back down

 

I think he'll be disappointed but I doubt he'll be gutted. He knows where that squad is at.

 

Seems like the day for it

 

They should hire me - winner of 6 SPL titles with Dundee United on FM21.

 

We have no midfield again then

 

Is Kim Källström still available on emergency loan?

 

It is hilariously predictable that we are a couple of days from playing United and we’re already in an injury crisis lol.

 

Richarlison has already become a fan favorite

 

God the Club World Cup in FM is so fucking dumb. Starts right after the season, everyone is on holiday or at the internationals. I’ve gotten to the final here and the whole Chelsea team started the game in orange and red fitness. We aren’t too much better. They went down to 8 men through injuries. Insane stuff.

 

I like showboating, but I prefer when it’s actually used to beat players. Doing a couple of keepy uppys and passing the ball away is like the dumbest form of showboating to get angry at

 

My policy is that it’s quite funny, but so is the inevitable retribution that always comes their way. It just isn’t that serious.

 

Kluivert is a nice signing for Fulham but I have no clue why they’d want Willian

 

Also saw something about Billy Gilmour to Brighton and I'm sure they'll make 60m off him in a couple seasons.

 

Where tf did this come from?! And if that was his price… way more top teams in Europe shouldve been swooping.

 

This kind of came out of nowhere. Don't know much about him honestly. Please don't let this be a sign that Laporte's injury is worse than expected.

 

After last season, I don’t know how you look at any member of Dortmund’s defense as a good option. (Looking at you, too, Barca board re: Meunièr.)

 

Yeah that is what is giving me pause but it sounds like from Dortmund fans he was their best defender but really set back by injuries. Fotmob had him as average rating of 7.05 for them last year in 26 Bundelsiga appearances. He was also asking for some big wages for Dortmund so that is another reason for them selling.

Seeing Dortmund fans on Reddit calling him a right sided Ake which is not the worst thing

Officiating in the lower leagues is so much worse than the Premier League. Ipswich had a goal ruled out for a foul that never happened, and if anything our goal scorer was the one that was fouled.

 

Very similar to US leagues. The USL Championship has the most grab bag officials that I have ever seen. There is a few good ones and then a wild variety of different levels of shit. A game I was at last weekend had two red cards and a penalty, the penalty should have never happened and the league rescinded one of the red cards.
