By Frustrated_me Go To PostFeels like an eternity since the last Scum gossip post.Transfer muppetry is in full swing now!
Not really sold on Chiesa. Same with Bernardeschi. They just produce far too little to be playing at a club like Juve. Annoying thing is that they are also regarded as the future of the nazionale.
I am fully onboard the Pogback express, but also hope we splash the cash on a top regista.

By Flutter Go To PostIs Sarri going to leave his son at Chelsea?
That would be amazing.
I would take Jorginho in an instant.

Congrats Disso
Always good to see the underdog win when you're not invested. Wasn't you who tweeted Second Captains to moan about them slagging off Raptors fans was it?

By Willkiller Go To PostDoes this mean I don’t have to hear about fucking basketball again for a while?I find basketball very easy to avoid tbh, somewhere between American football and baseball. You wouldn't even know ice hockey exists if you only consumed British media.

Both are bad. Only thing I remember from hockey is how often you'd go back to the changing room at the end of a PE lesson with your knuckles smashed to pieces.
By Zabojnik Go To PostReal already spent 300M€ on new players. We have yet to appoint a new manager.Sarri's basically confirmed isn't he?

I see a lot more basketball talk around in general compared to baseball and American football. Which is irritating because basketball is maybe the worst popular sport there is.
A game where the act of scoring is so common and expected the only excitement comes from a team failing to score.
By Hitch Go To PostSarri's basically confirmed isn't he?Basicleh, yeh.
Not my ideal choice, though I'm not opposed to it, but our management has some explaining to do.

You hate to see it.
Basketball used to be pretty popular in the UK when I was growing up. Felt like every school had an indoor and outdoor court. We're probably a Team GB run in the Olympics away from it being a serious sport.
By Hitch Go To PostwutProbably the super cup and community shield spoiled those plans though
Surely we knew what weekend the season would start on well in advance?
And the fact that they put our first game on the Friday
