I think we're going big on Raphinha

It's obviously a s*** place to work and the problems are well beyond the manager, but they shouldn't be getting comfortably beat by Norwich. They were doing the basics wrong today. 1 win since September? Pretty horrific to be honest. I think he's basically in the same situation as Mourinho. His way of playing early 00s was great and innovative. But he hasn't moved with the times and now his methods aren't as effective. He's also an absolute idiot for taking the job on. Everyone could see it coming. He doesn't need the money, he doesn't need the grief. Is he really that addicted to managing that he would open himself up to this.

City's squad is actually quite small. If they got injuries in key places they might have a problem. Seems like they're largely indestructible. They're barely evening having many Covid cases.

Reece James, Thiago Silva, Ben Chilwell, Christensen are all probably out. Rudiger should have been sent off as well. They'll probably play Azpilicueta, Chalobah, and Rudiger, with Alonso and Hudson Odoi or Pulisic wing back.

Why is he so f***ing s***? Like can't even find a red shirt bad. 55m. Jesus.

Take off the entire midfield and replace with Keita and Milner? Jurgen has had a f***ing mare there. Even if we should have been out of sight before then.

Combination of players unavailable and resting players for our game which they presume is much more winnable. Would be very Rodgers that.

Leicester are playing reserves today according to the rumours on their forums.

Potentially gives us a very competitive advantage against Leicester if their game goes ahead on Boxing Day

That's like taking your rusty old fiesta to the Ferrari dealership for a part exchange.

I don't think we are. But if not us then who is? Would Bayern pay the finances required? Probably not. Madrid are going all out for Mbappe and would Haaland and his agent want to share the spotlight? Barca are financially f***ed. United can afford it but they're not the most attractive package right now. Basically leaves just City.

Financially it probably makes good sense for us to sign Haaland considering his age. If he's as good as everyone thinks If it costs say 150m in transfer fees and agents fees to get him. Plus 100m in wages for 4 years. You then, assuming his contract isn't expiring, have an asset worth 200m plus that you can sell to recoup most of the money.

The grounds gonna be half empty. People aren't risking Crimbo being ruined for a League Cup quarter final.

Yeah heard our team is a joke apparently.

Fully expecting a 'get to the ground 5 hours early' to drop this afternoon. Are we supposed to be wearing masks all game?

Lots of singles been popping up all morning for this online. Might be worth keeping an eye out if you want one.

Inter aren't really that much better than Milan are they? And we could have had 5 at half time versus them. Lost Hakimi and Lukaku, two of their best players from their league win. Martinez is decent. Barella is decent but he's probably suspended for both ties (at least the first leg anyway). So it'll be Vidal in CM. If we want to win the CL we shouldn't be worrying about Inter.

I'll be absolutely amazed if this isn't redrawn. They completely f***ed the process. Watch us get PSG now

Not sure its that great for us. Its great that Chelsea might get Bayern or Real. But for us it increases the change we get PSG. From 1/7 to 1/6 chance.

Gonna need Covid passes to get into the ground from next week by the sounds of it?

The forum's (former) resident contrarian is arguing the opposite on twitter. I think anyone suggesting Arsenal should let them score needs their head testing personally. De Gea needs to just get on with it. He was clipped by his own player and dived. It wasn't like he got a leg breaker.

Someone s*** until the summer then Pochettino. Gotta be. Why else would they wait unless their first choice doesn't want to leave mid season Unless Ten Hag is deluded enough to think he can win the CL

FSG Yes man who helps feed into their wider strategy of minimal investment and maximum profits is leaving and we're supposed to be sad or something? Basically we got some good money from some desperate clubs for players like Solanke and Ward and everyone seems to think this bloke invented football. We've signed about 2 players in 3 years anyway so what's he been doing all this time.
