We are now checking mm between a knee and a heel.

Everytime the VAR lines come out u know its going to be one of those stupid decisions


Copa Libertadores is on BBC I Player semi finals worth watching

Celtic have decided to go Dubai for warm weather training

Wonder if other clubs will do the same

Aston Villa vs Liverpool FA Cup tie to go ahead but Tottenham Premier League game in doubt

Aston Villa are set to field a team made up of U23s and U18s against Liverpool; the outbreak among the first-team is 'rampant', Sky Sports News has been told, and it is thought the spread is far more extensive than it was at Fulham or Newcastle earlier this season

www.skysports.com

How does this work then no kit man do u go JD sports on the way to game and pick up a shirt.

Being serious though can't use physio medical staff that is concerning.


Also making rules up as they go along. No club will automatically have to forfeit an FA Cup game if they are affected by coronavirus, with each case to be assessed by the FA on its individual circumstances, Sky Sports News understands. Yet Orient were kicked out of the League Cup. Premier league u won't be allowed to field a under 21 team as it affects the integrity of the competition yet u can in league Cup fa Cup.

Yep makes perfect sense.

Sebastien Haller: West Ham confirm forward's Ajax departure for £20.2m transfer fee

Sky Sports News previously reported a bid had been accepted by the Dutch champions - for less than half the £45m West Ham paid Eintracht Frankfurt for the 26-year-old forward in the summer of 2019

I am shocked he was a class player for the Hammers should have scored more but yea didn't expect him to leave.

Another shocker United not signing Caicedo

I listen to a lot of football podcasts he seems to be the real deal. Loads of football experts praising him when u hear he has potential to be better than Kante u start to pay attention.

Maybe it was the Brexit rules change zi dont know but would be a shame if he doesnt play in premier league. I can only think of 2 players from Ecuador Valencia and Delgado.

I thought it was a done deal.

Love the look of Rossett Park ground.

Vinicius 2 goals from 2 yards. Sweaty goals as well lol

The first Crawley goal was a cracker too.

Wanted your lot to go out today. Would've been some story if Marine had won.

Yea I'm a bit weird like that massive Spurs fan but whenever we get non league there is a small part of me that would like the underdog to win.

Think it comes down to going to a game many years ago with my Grandad Middlesbrough vs Hednesford Town FA Cup

Juninho Emerson Ravanelli and it took them to the 88th minute to win the game.

Hopefully once Covid ends Spurs can arrange a friendly supply some kit etc

I love the FA Cup

So in reward for a gruelling domestic schedule that’s seen us fail to qualify for the CL, fail to qualify for the Europa League, get knocked out the league cup by Ross County, and open up a 22 point gap between ourselves and 1st place rangers in the biggest season in decades, Celtic decided to reward the players endeavours with a trip to Dubai for some hard graft (not beers by the pool!).

The trouble is - and entirety unknown to us I might add - there’s apparently some sort of pandemic fucking shit up everywhere. Now remember I mentioned that hard graft we would be doing in Dubai? Well, we decided to bring along our injured centre back along, despite him being in crutches and completely unable to train. He came along because, it really was just beers by the pool and some R&R for our little lads to enjoy.

The trouble is he’s now got Covid, and 13 of his teammates need to isolate. We’re playing Hibs tonight, likely to have to field a reserve team, good chance we’ll get beat to solidify that 22 point gap, and our manager is STILL seemingly untouchable.

To make it even worse, fans shelled out £600 this season for a shitey ‘virtual season pass’ and have been served up this shite.

I saw that on the news.

In a season of terrible decisions taking the whole team on a pointless flight during a pandemic might just be the worst one yet.


It's been a cluster fuck of a season for celtic. All they needed to do was keep it close and rangers would probably crumble under the pressure.

What does that £600 get the fans? That's an outrageous sum considering how many people are struggling financially.

You get to watch us get beat at home by Ross County on a shitey legal stream, rather than a shitey illegal stream.

Only home league games I should add - you need Sky, BT Sports, and Premier Sports if you want to catch all of the action.

The same fans also have up the chance to claim a refund against last seasons cancelled fixtures. Hard times, pull together etc fuck you we’re going to Dubai.

I would actually prefer not to know if this isn’t normal procedure.

Celtic shat the bed again.

Looking up the deal on the site it says kids get entered. It doesn't say into what, jus that they get entered.

I think man Utd's new signing Diallo could be a great signing.

I've been hearing good things about him since he was 16 in some Italian football podcasts I listen to.

Atalanta have historically had a good youth set up, and have also added a really good scouting network it seems.


United were also interested in Frederico Chiesa, but he went to Juve instead. I think he could have been a very good signing as well.

He's a bit older at 23, and he's already shown a lot, but I think he will really push on now.

 

[James14]

Calling it.

Utd to slip up against Burnley. Then they will be spanked by Liverpool. They'll not get CL football next season.



Best thing they can do this year is sell Pogba. What a flop.

Why is Jesse Lingaard still employed?
