By FortuneFaded Go To PostDo we know of Cola's whereabouts at the time?
ffs lmao
I dont think it's fair for us to make fun of Cola as a suspected racist, and he's clearly affected by it.
By FlutterPuffs Go To PostI dont think it's fair for us to make fun of Cola as a suspected racist, and he's clearly affected by it.You're probably right. I can be quite mean to people. After all, Pogba is his favourite player and he has a black friend in kidjr.
By Laboured Go To PostPenalties.Hasn't he missed like 3 already ?
De Sciglio and Mandzukic both out for the Roma match on Saturday. Fantastic. It's not like they have both just hit their stride.
By Laboured Go To PostWonder when Squires will just have panels of writing and do away with pictures entirely. Feels like it's close and at minimum veering dangerously close to explaining the jokes.
It's a bit like a Steven Colbert or John Oliver. The set-up is the wording, the punch-line is the picture.
6 clean sheets in a row, m8s. 44 league goals. Bonucci's widows suddenly nowhere to be seen. What a time.
By Laboured Go To PostBarca are just so fucking stupid.Come to papa Mou,

By not picking an accent so similar to another from a different part of Africa?
Next game will be set in India and all the Brexit lads will be asking why are they eating a curry over there amirite...
AC India will be all about how much good the British did in the country and how ungrateful they are now. DLC will have you play as Cromwell in Ireland.

By Frustrated_me Go To PostJesus Christ, why do that to an Italian piece of art? Why take something perfect and destroy it like that?I think they do it because they can. The footballers have enough money that they can go to the dealer and get another one.

I like how the license plate is blurred out. You'll never know which black and red Rolls is Lukaku's.
Manuel Akanji from Basel seems to be close to be done during the winter transfer phase.
The other name that came up was Maximiliano Romero from CA Vélez.
About time we sell some players.

By Elchele Go To PostIs Rode still at BVB?Yup.
Still injured. Hope we load him off as well, but I suppose that will have to wait until summer.
Durm (who is back in training), Subotic, Toprak seem to be candidates. Add Isak, Larsen as possible loan candidates.
By W Go To PostMaximiliano Romero is 100% FM LEGENDAlot of people rate him and he seems to be further ahead in his development compared to Alexander Isak, so I would gladly take him as Auba sub and future replacement.
By Elchele Go To PostDidn't you sign Toprak this summer? lolYes, but he had like one good game and the signing was made with Tuchel in mind.
Toprak was listed among the candidates for a loan (guess to a turkish or Bundesliga club), but that was before Stöger and I got no idea what he's planning.
