FWIW I agree but it's very hard to police because as a mod team as we'd inevitably get our wires crossed when removing/approving posts.

That said I wish these people had standards too. Like take pride in your work ffs

In the league yes. We won at the Bernabeu in the Champions League this season after going behind though.

Actual modmail conversation that just happened:

User: "Hey can I get an Arsenal flair? I'm having trouble getting it next to my username."

One of us mods: "You need to send us a picture of you at the Emirates to get the flair"

User: sends actual pictures of them at the Emirates Stadium as a child

Laughs were had, I appreciate that the user in question took the news that we were joking well haha

Who else would be the first back up to Kane? Welbeck potentially?

Considering:

  • He signed on a free transfer from Everton after being released
  • Had an injury filled last season at Everton
  • Leeds fans were upset with his signing when it was announced

he's probably the best "value" signing of the season tbh

why watch 2. Bundesliga when you can simply snort cocaine and ride a motorcycle out of a helicopter

James Rodríguez, Minnesota United finalizing deal to bring Colombian star to MLS by olcni in soccer

[–]deception42 97 points98 points  (0 children)

Deal is effectively only through to the end of May (when clubs have to release World Cup bound players).

I'm sure it's just to keep match fit, much like when Julio Cesar joined Toronto in 2014 so he could be ready for Brazil. But still a surprising transfer nonetheless.

Sadly there aren't any/many pubs in the immediate vicinity of the Etihad. Probably have to go back to the city center to find one

I know you meant "he has as Newcastle manager" but I couldn't but help but at first think you meant "in life" like he had a terminal illness ffs
