The Soccer Thread (Version 12) — Revenge of the Backup GK

Kane says he isn’t moving this summer. Meanwhile, a broke Real Madrid are ready to break the bank for M’Bappe, who will cost them nothing in 12 months and who wants to play there.

 

Ronaldo to Man City!

 

It’s not a bad squad. Still not close to sold on the FBs.

 

I watched CR7 in his first year with United and he was as exciting of a player that I’ve seen. But that was 18 years ago United really can spend money in better places.

 

I just imagine SAF emerging in a trenchcoat from the shadows somewhere and saying, "Cristiano, yer nae signin' for City."

And that was it.

 

I’d be no proud of you lad.

 

And this is one my favorite videos — SAF waiting to congratulate Ronaldo after Euro 2016.

 

I loathe United as much as anyone, but I'd sit at SAF's feet for hours to hear about leadership and man management. That's a leader of men.

 

Some of the stuff from the documentary which is on Paramount+ is great, especially his playing career and his managing Aberdeen and then early on in United.

 

Holy shit was that an absolute evisceration by City. Fun stats: City outshot Arsenal 25-1, 10-0 on target and held a 81-19 possession advantage.

Yeah, it's early, but Arsenal is three in the hole and -9 on GD. Gunners absolutely have to have six points from their next two (Norwich at home, Burnley away).

 

Arsenal were such a mess after about the 5 minute point.
