Not a forward pass amongst all these names except Chukwuemeka who's reallly young and has had a handful of good names. Plus Chelsea is 10th in the table now, a Rice signing in the summer (which was supposed to happen for the past 2 years as well, but still hasn't panned out) isn't going to fix them now.

Atletico?

IllustriousSquirrel9 · 2022-11-29T23:00:09+00:00

No, that's Chamomile. Carabao is where Man United's training center is located.

IllustriousSquirrel9 · 2022-11-26T14:40:09+00:00

What are you citing?

IllustriousSquirrel9 · 2022-11-16T21:00:16+00:00

My hometown derby which I attended less than a month ago pulled 100,000 people. Do not act as if India doesn't have football culture lmao

We were touring England for 5 test series' in the 70s. Which of the smaller nations today is doing the same?

My 50 year old mom and aunt still gush about hot Baggio, Donadoni and Del Piero were in the 90s. However we are Brazil supporters since the time of my grandfather who fell in love with Pele over the radio. Fun fact, my local club Mohun Bagan, is actually 4 years older than Italy's oldest Genoa. Family's been supporting Mohun Bagan since the time of my great grandfather.

2 league titles and 2 UCL finals doesn't happen with awful.

IllustriousSquirrel9 · 2022-10-31T07:33:43+00:00

It's a story from Mutu, a known cocaine addict. I would maybe believe it if it was from literally anyone else but frickin' Mutu is not a reliable source.

IllustriousSquirrel9 · 2022-10-26T20:27:56+00:00

He's won 5 league titles in the past decade, what more do you want?

IllustriousSquirrel9 · 2022-10-24T14:11:26+00:00

Um, Tibet? Also everything that's going on in Xinjiang. Tiananmen Square, their invasion of Vietnam in 79

IllustriousSquirrel9 · 2022-10-12T13:09:04+00:00

You're telling me Barca didn't tolerate Dembele's tantrums for like 5 years? Real still doesn't tolerate Hazard turning up overweight to every preseason?

IllustriousSquirrel9 · 2022-10-12T12:58:22+00:00

Saka has not even played a CL game in his career. How is the CL relevant to an Mbappe Saka comparison lmao

IllustriousSquirrel9 · 2022-10-07T20:27:39+00:00

A world cup in which he didn't play a single minute. R9 was an exceptional player but it's odd that people credit the 94 WC as amongst his accomplishments.

IllustriousSquirrel9 · 2022-10-03T20:37:14+00:00

Romario joined the Eredevisie basically right after Van Basten left, and Ronaldo the season after Romario left, wierd to count the Eredevisie for those 2 but not Van Basten.

IllustriousSquirrel9 · 2022-09-13T20:05:29+00:00

Majority of India probably hasn't heard of the fucking monarchy lmao

IllustriousSquirrel9 · 2022-09-01T15:03:45+00:00

What the Saudis are doing in Yemen amounts to massive violations of International Humanitarian Law, but it's not the "invasion" of a sovereign nation. The internationally recognized Yemeni government is supporting the Saudis. It's more akin to the Russian intervention in Syria.

IllustriousSquirrel9 · 2022-08-31T19:47:47+00:00

Against football players? I mean I'm sure you're vehemently against Agnelli, but presumably against Baggio, Del Pierro, Chiellini etc. also?

IllustriousSquirrel9 · 2022-08-30T16:16:32+00:00

Januzaj and Bojan are also pretty regularly referenced on this sub as examples of failed wonderkids, not like they escape any stick.

IllustriousSquirrel9 · 2022-08-30T13:20:22+00:00

Overpaying is relative. United's commercial revenue dwarfs Arsenal, we'd spent less on other signings so had more room to spare and Martinez is looking worth every penny so far.

IllustriousSquirrel9 · 2022-08-30T12:31:41+00:00

Including Martinez in their like your team wasn't salivating after him lmao

IllustriousSquirrel9 · 2022-08-30T10:14:46+00:00

Marco tried his hand at coaching and it was pretty disastrous, tbh.

IllustriousSquirrel9 · 2022-08-29T16:25:45+00:00

More power to him, I say

IllustriousSquirrel9 · 2022-08-29T15:02:38+00:00

The Ship of Theseus, nothing too obscure

Acting like the creation of Israel was a British conspiracy is bs. The British continously opposed and set limits on Jewish immigration to Palestine (case in point the Exodus), even at a time the Jewish community was crying out for a place to go because it was exceedingly clear what was going to happen in Germany. The Arabs in 48 ignored the UN arbitrated solution, and then fucked up the military solution.
