The bit about Utd sacking all these people that I don't get is why the players haven't said, "here boys if we all chip in 1k per week (in some cases a three hundredth of their weekly salary) we can save these people getting sacked."
First team squad of what, 20 players? 1kpw by twenty players, over a year is just over a million quid. That will save 36/37 people on 30k a year.
And Utd's squad is probably bigger than 20 players and surely the higher paid members could chip in more than 1k!?
And I agree on the daft contracts, the wasted transfer spending, the Director football cluster **** and giving ETH a new contract when NO ONE was after him and then sacking him.
For a business man Jim is pretty dim.
Liverpool a bit unlucky winning the league stage and then getting PSG in the last 16.
Aye, that has been bugging me from the off. Win the group stage and get PSG, Barca get Benfica, Arsenal PSV, Villa Club Brugge and Inter Feyenoord. Luck of the draw, and you have to beat the best sides eventually, but feck me that is a properly stinking draw.
Might sound stupid, but I think I'd rather play Real than Atleti
I see where you are coming from, Atleti are too street smart for Arsenal and frankly will just eat (kick) you. But Real have unbelievable luck in the CL and a history of very favourable calls going in their favour. In fact, I'm struggling to think of a harsh call that has ever gone against Real in Europe.
Look at that double touch on the penalty on Wed night, I've seen dozens of replays of it and I still cant see a second touch. It sure as **** isn't clear or obvious. Yet VAR step up and call it.
You tell me, where is the second touch?
Atleti would kick you off the pitch and dive and play act. But Real have endless luck and consistently ehhhh friendly officials to help them out.
Fat Sam has been of work for a while, I wonder would he agree to work for 27p a week, half a curly wurly and a free tracksuit?
