I could deal with the arrogance and lack of knowledge a bit more if they weren’t such cheap cunts. This moneyball bullshit is so frustrating. I’m not saying there’s zero place for data in soccer, but it’s the sport that is fundamentally most different from baseball. Baseball lends itself to math/advanced stats really well, but the fluidity of soccer makes it much harder to quantify. What the “just get on base” equivalent in soccer? And the fact that they seemingly refuse to spend more than 20m on a player drives me up the fucking wall.
I think there’s a 50/50 shot we can make top 4, less if we don’t get 3 points this weekend. Inter and Juve are guaranteed top 2, I could see Napoli being really good, then it’s Atalanta, Roma and us for the fourth spot. Atalanta worries me much more, but who knows
Oh, and Real has drawn both their first two matches and apparently look really underwhelming with Mbappe. It would be very interesting to see if it took a while to figure out, I’m hoping we get some drama.
Mbappe isn’t a striker, so I anticipated some adjustment for sure. It would be insane if it backfired, but I figure with all the talent they have to figure something out eventually
Money. Now they have 36 instead of 32 teams.
I think 1- 8 go into the next round and another 8 spots are played for in another qualifying round by 9 - 16. So more games to sell.
im praying for Bellingham Mbappe tension i the dressing room, forcing Bellingham to move and we grab him finally at Liverpool. Cos I would 100% take him over Mappe.
2 points in the first 3 games, in 14th place with six goals against already. Inter and Liverpool 2 of our next 3 games. The whole season can unravel before it even got started.
Emerson sucks, congrats to Spurs for getting 15m for him. This guy Pavlovic we bought is a beast and will go to a rich club in the next couple years. The fact that he’s played as well as he has and we’ve allowed 2 goals a game is fucked.
I think I’m going to skip the next few matches.
Also, RLC sucks balls. Can’t understand how he’s played the full 90 last two weeks.
And of course Napoli gets a late winner. There’s like a 10% we get top 4, Fonseca already lost the dressing room.
Barca 7-0 today, with Real starting slow La Liga could actually be fun.
The Oshimen situation is crazy, the European window closed and Napoli didn’t register him for the season. He has to sit out or go to Saudi now. His agent is a fucking retard, he’s completely blown this.
Fuck city, but I’m glad to see Haaland firing. Last season was underwhelming compared to his first
So my mate said that if the prem executes ont he charges against Man City, Man city, is capable of tying the premier league up legally to the point of EPL bankruptcy and thus forcing the break away Euro League into existence, and this is why the charges have not been brought properly.
Haaland is a freak he reminds me of a footballing Jonah Lomu.
LFC v ManU today, after Arsenal fucking up yesterday would be great to see Chel$ea and Man U lose today to maintain order and balance in the Universe. Battle fo The Dutch Mangers. YNWA!
