By BigBoss Go To PostApparently Bayern is only asking 60 million euros for Thiago, I'm going to lose my mind if this Barca board fucks this up.Catalan press and our players asking for him.
Since Thiago is cheaper than Pjanic and way more than Eriksen the board is pretty much forced to sign him.

Morocco's bid to host the 2026 World Cup has passed a Fifa inspection - but is deemed "high risk" in three areas.
The North African country will compete with a joint United States, Canada and Mexico bid in a vote on 13 June.
Morocco scored 2.7 out of five in Fifa's test while the joint bid scored four, with no "high risk" areas.
Why do they even do these scoring tests? Imagine interviewing for a job and find out you were scored 4/5 whereas the guy who they eventually hired scored 2.7/5. You'd be pissed. We know that FIFA want another world cup in Africa so why even go through this facade?

Has the final squad for England's World Cup Group B rivals Belgium been inadvertently revealed by some mattresses?
Public broadcaster VRT showed footage of 23 mattresses being loaded up by a Belgian bedding company before their departure for Russia.
Each one showed a label to indicate which player they were designated for.
Goalkeeper Matz Sels, defenders Christian Kabasele and Jordan Lukaku, and midfielders Leander Dendoncker and Adnan Januzaj - all in Belgium's provisional 28-man squad - look set to miss out.
And it suggests some of the more fringe players, such as Celtic defender Dedryck Boyata and Crystal Palace forward Christian Benteke, have been included.

Anyone got any out there predictions for the World Cup?
I've got a feeling that VAR will be abandoned part way through, after the first round of group matches or so. Its too big a stage to be using fledgling technology with officials who haven't used it before in real match situations.

Eng 0 0 Panama
Eng 1 1 Belgium
England get through in second.
England will get through “undefeated” in the group stage by drawing with everyone and this will give people the impression that they’re a strong team. Then they’ll get beaten by someone mediocre in the first knockout round and everything will be blamed on Sterling.

I've been going through a rough patch myself, I'm thinking about taking a one month break, come back when the new map is released. Though I (well, we) did just have the best streak ever the other day, won 3 squad matches out of 4.

Should I not bother with the side quests? Is there an area I should try and get to? Should I be trying specific weapons?
Don't say stop playing :|

-Move onto new areas sooner as opposed to content hoovering; higher level side quests will generate which we re-route you back to the main areas. (alexandria)
- I enjoyed it by leaving the main quest (for me the least enjoyable and coherent part of the game) and doing a meandering, explorative 'U' around the map.
- I first aimed/cleared all the stuff around pyramids (I liked exploring them), then took out all the high level mercancery folk I can't remember the name of, then moved onto the Roman areas and cleared the big base thingys and finally by taking out all the elephants
- For me Origins was most enjoyable/rewarding as an, aimless, Duke of Edinburgh esque, soothing meander to soak up some exceptionally crafted digital historical tourism.
- The actual substance of the main plot is fairly worthless, although some of the side threads are worth a nose it wasn't what drove me through the game.
- Also get the arrow slow down power thingy and try to clear bases which nae cunt seeing you, Dishonoured style.

All of this. Don't get content burn out and do enjoy the scenery.
Also give different weapon types a try. Found some didn't gel with me.
Hixx I like your new manager, think he was a good option. (which are still scrambling to pluck one from the void - all bets on Heckingbottom now).
I like Jack Ross l1nett, he is a Scot sure but he has smiled more times than Moyes already. In 2 days. Compared to an entire year. Is all I ask. Be happy. Win more than 2 games at home. Progress.
Linehan is a TERF melt now. Sad.
New Father John Misty album is great.
Sitting here exasperated at the Guardian's series on how middle-class white people budget. Living at home rent-free, 'oh I received a small inheritance', 'I'm trying to save £50k in five years'.

Real Madrid look to Sarri
Real Madrid look to Sarri
Real Madrid will push for Maurizio Sarri if Mauricio Pochettino doesn’t ask to leave Tottenham Hotspur this weekend, according to an intermediary.
The managerial merry-go-round is in full swing, as Napoli fired Sarri to make way for Carlo Ancelotti, but he is still under contract and negotiations with Chelsea appear to have broken down.
“(Napoli President) Aurelio De Laurentiis is making sure his contractual rights are respected, so any club that wants Sarri has to negotiate directly with him, but I am sure they’ll be able to resolve it all with a handshake,” transfer intermediary Salvatore Garritano told CalcioNapoli24.
With Chelsea getting cold feet, it seems Real Madrid are interested in Sarri’s services after Zinedine Zidane resigned.
“It’s more than just a suggestion, absolutely. We mustn’t hide the situation: Real Madrid want Pochettino and have done for several weeks, they even have an agreement, but contractually he is in a more complicated situation than Sarri, having just renewed his deal with Tottenham.
“Real Madrid cannot wait for Pochettino much longer. I think after tomorrow, they won’t wait any more and Sarri is the second choice, but let’s be clear, it’s like choosing between a BMW and a Ferrari.
“I spoke to a few Real Madrid directors and if they want to, they’ll take Sarri. Napoli and Real Madrid have a strong rapport, so I’d give it a 70 per cent chance we’ll see Sarri on the Merengues bench.
“I think they’ll make a decision on Sunday night, maximum on Monday. It’s a big club, the market is open and they can’t wait for much longer.”
Napoli could even ask for Karim Benzema as part of an exchange with Sarri.
“It’s no secret Ancelotti loves Benzema and obviously he’d like him at Napoli. On Monday morning, I will speak to Real Madrid again and we’ll see what happens.”
