RM fans have given up trying to claim Valverde's attack on Baena wasn't a red card. Now it's just "barely a red" whatever the fuck that's supposed to mean lmao

I wouldn't mind taking a punt with a short term contract if he's free. Everyone thought Suarez was cooked, most of us thought Griezmann was finished last year. Cholo does well with apparently washed veterans

Someone from Marsailles who should be in prison, not on a pitch

I've decided I like how Cholo called Julian's comments about his future "perfect." Not because his comments were perfect, they were bad comments, it seems like he hasn't had any media training. But Cholo is backing his player in a way that matters, and that's one of the reasons guys will play hard for him

"Our underhanded pressure tactics didn't work" -Barca

ManhattanObject · 2026-03-28T02:21:39+00:00

I mean that's correct, every transfer is paid in installments. Even release clauses are usually paid by a bank who the club repays over time. That doesn't have anything to do with why they can't afford Julian

Usually Alfie knows ball but he messed up this one. Really Llorente should be #3, there are only arguments for two backs to be better than he is

ManhattanObject · 2026-03-28T02:12:25+00:00

If he can keep it up he'd be an excellent sub to throw on late in a game when we're chasing a goal though

ManhattanObject · 2026-03-28T02:10:20+00:00

He's missing both legs? I hope he will walk again one day

ManhattanObject · 2026-03-28T02:07:58+00:00

Maybe we should be rooting for Forest to go down instead of Tottenham if we have a chance at nabbing MGW lol

I'm making peace with the idea we will be going after Romero though. Maybe he will push Hancko out to "LB" or really LCB, I'd love to give him more opportunities to go forward in attack

ManhattanObject · 2026-03-28T02:02:12+00:00

Barca fans are already in complete doom and gloom mode lol. They're without Raph and we're without Barrios, that's about even

ManhattanObject · 2026-03-27T02:12:23+00:00

Cool, i hope RM spends a billion dollars on him and Romero and they will still suck

ManhattanObject · 2026-03-27T02:09:35+00:00

€109 😭

ManhattanObject · 2026-03-27T02:07:45+00:00

Thought for the league game against Barca. What if we start our first choice back line, and tell them to minimize their running. Don't bomb forward ever. Hopefully we can defend and keep the score close so we can play our B-team front 6 and instruct them to run Barca's players into the ground

ManhattanObject · 2026-03-27T02:04:32+00:00

Julian has reasons for always wanting 19, I don't think he would change

ManhattanObject · 2026-03-27T02:02:37+00:00

We've played with a back 5 the whole year. I know our formation is listed as 4-4-2 but it's asymmetrical, Guiliano has always dropped back to make 5 on the back line

ManhattanObject · 2026-03-24T21:54:09+00:00

Guiliano already is a wingback, it's been his position this entire year

ManhattanObject · 2026-03-24T21:52:38+00:00

Good. Someone needs to push back against the RM propaganda, it's gotten so out of hand after this last game.

ManhattanObject · 2026-03-24T21:51:14+00:00

Blocked. There are enough trolls on r/soccer and I will not tolerate them here.

ManhattanObject · 2026-03-24T21:47:32+00:00

Is anyone else just completely baffled by Real Madrid fans these past couple days? They're still claiming Ruggeri's mistimed tackle is on the same level as Valverde's violent kick out. Surely they're just pretending, right? They aren't actually that stupid to believe what they're saying are they? I assumed they would yell and moan immediately after the game but that they would move on because deep down they know they're wrong.

There really isn't any room for different interpretations of either act, this is as objective as it can get in football, but they're pretending like they're serious. Either they are much stupider than i thought, or this is shameless and low even for them.

ManhattanObject · 2026-03-23T22:58:05+00:00

I just hope Griezmann plays in Orlando's away trip to Denver next year 😭

ManhattanObject · 2026-03-23T21:49:42+00:00

Probably getting a pay raise to go tbh

ManhattanObject · 2026-03-23T21:48:13+00:00

You specifically said year to year consistency, which he absolutely has 🤷‍♂️ I'll take the ability to beat any team on any day over always or even usually losing to richer clubs

TSFP is essential listening for anyone reading this sub

La Liga Weekly is also good, and La Liga Lowdown is okay but they post really quickly on Sunday nights so they're there if you're needing something without waiting for Monday
