Just what you said. It's a fucking great, hassle free way to make shit tonnes of money with very little effort and for which there are some clever tax loopholes.

Ronaldo doesn't actually produce, develop or research anything. Ronaldo licenses his name out to Company XYZ who does all the work and they share profits (with Ronaldo getting probably the majority of the cut doing fuck all). You can imagine the amount of expenses Ronaldo can claim with ventures like this.
I wish I was able to do shit like this.
I really hope Murillo impresses tonight, so that EV feels confident to involve him regularly to give rest to Lenglet and especially Pique. But regardless of his performance (integration might take time), Murillo should always start in Copa games.

Yeah it's kind of crazy when you think about it. Someone who's already rich and famous can get more rich because people will buy random stuff with his/her name on it. Without doing fuck all for it. What a time to be alive.

That was a case of terrible defending there with the free kick
To be honest, I always kind of hope the defence screws up in cup games so Jasper has a chance to shine. But yeah, this one couldn't be helped.
By FermentedFungi Go To PostIs this a 1 leg or 2 leg draw?
Two legs. Which I still think is a shame. Hardly any huge surprised in the Spanish cup due to the home/away structure. Barca can bring on some A game in the second half to maybe score or make sure it doesn't get worse and fix things with the first team back home next week.
To be fair, Barca already should have scored at least one goal tonight.
Fuck me sideways, that PSV cunt still manages to hurt us while playing in Spain. Lainez to Betis is done. If we're also selling Neres I wonder what kind of big surprise Overmars has in mind, because this is just unacceptable.

By Meier Go To PostCan I interest you in one Marlos Moreno.
Mate let me process that we just lost the hottest Mexican prospect to a midtable club from Spain because a Mexican legend happens to play there. Calling them midtable is even being generous considering they still get relegated every so many years. What a shit show.
By Laboured Go To PostWill be a bit annoyed if Chelsea sign two of the wingers I wanted us to sign.
Mental
He scores like 3-4 league goals a season. Chelsea should have taken the £55 million

Ive heard about your 7 a side heroics
By Scum Go To PostWhat’s this, lads? Bungie is splitting from Activision and Bungie gets to keep Destiny.Literally only Bold cares m8.
Activision have been taking financial hits and now that 2 of Blizzard's founders and ex-CEO have left, they are consolidating ALL their business and cleaning house. Employees are getting financial packages to voluntarily quit, support teams are being shut down and basically everything that is not making good money is being phased out. The suits are running the studios now m8 and they don't want to sink more money into anything.
Despite what Bold says, the Destiny 10 year, half a billion plan was disappointing for Activision, and Bungie must have made a very good offer to get away early from it.

Profit.
Why are they so hellbent on Willian anyway? Bizarre.
Imagine spending that much money on a dude over 30. Incredible. I like Willian as a player, but what do they think they're getting at this point? He isn't going to change their season and will inevitably decline going forward. It's bizarre. Chelsea practice voodoo on clubs when selling players I think.
Don't understand (or believe) the Willian situation.
Like, if the reports are true, Barca bid half of that for Pogba last summer.

Willian probably scared Barca by hitting the post a couple of times in these CL games in february. Might as well buy the lad.

Well that was a game. Hoping for the same degree of rotation in the return leg, but I'm not holding my breath.
Yeah this B team is just not good enough, that much is clear.
But to be honest, pretty much any kind of win would be enough next week. And fielding the A team at home should normally be enough to beat Levante.

By Linius Go To PostYeah this B team is just not good enough, that much is clear.Away goal makes the qualification very easy, and virtually impossible to get KO’d with Messi in the next game. But I wouldn’t mind being knocked out of Copa. Madrid have been getting knocked-out of this competition for the past 4-5 years and it helped them big time in winning UCL. I’d much rather the team focus on the latter and conserve their energy for it.

I kind of respect Arsenal for their way of doing business. But yeah, you might wanna ask yourself when you're pushing too hard with the no spending bit.

By Laboured Go To PostHmmm
Yes, this was a shame. Cillessen played a killer game though, made some good saves.
By Xpike Go To PostOur way of business being overpaying for shit players, while we let top players Ramsey and Alexis go for almost nothing
Well, I mainly refer to the part where Arsenal doesn't spend tons of money on random players like City, United and Chelsea do. Spurs probably has the best record when it comes to that aspect. Still bringing in good players, selling high and never spend too much.

A football coach killed in a car crash on the first day of his sex abuse trial made boys "fight naked" in initiation tests, one of his accusers has said.
Michael "Kit" Carson, 75, who denied abusing boys over a period of 30 years, died when his car hit a tree in Cambridgeshire.
Mr Smith, a prosecution witness who has waived his right to anonymity, was coached by Mr Carson after joining Cambridge United in 2001, aged 11, on a youth scholarship.
He said boys were made to run in the snow fully naked, and told it was to "toughen us up" and "make us men".
On other occasions, Mr Smith said, trainees would be made to fight naked under the guise of an initiation test.
"It was all to build character, but it always felt really awkward," he said.
