By Fergie Go To PostHarry POTTERRRRRRRRRR!!!
Yer’ a wizard ‘arry
Fred has to be United's POTY. Has played really well in the majority of games (inc the top 6). Only other option is Rashford.
Felt like Chelsea struggled a bit Yesterday when Kante went off. Didnt see Kovacic driving forward as much. Hes been doing well this season too. Jorginho on the other hand was completely shut out yesterday. Can't
remember seeing him at all. Still feel like Kante doesn't get used right when he has to play in a 3.

By Milchmonster Go To PostAtletico - Kloppo and BVB - PSG on the same day and tomorrow it's only shit matches
UEFA pls
In fairness, I'm not convinced Atletico - Pool will be a great game to watch. As incredible of a season Liverpool are having they aren't as exciting to watch as last season and we all know Atletico have the potential to shut the game completely down if that's what they decide to do (which they will). BVB - PSG easily the best option to watch
By batong Go To PostWell I will be running instead so enjoySmh
By Freewheelin Go To PostSmhHave to uphold that paedo status wooden has put on me
Jesus Christ. The season will essentially be decided before him and Kane are back. Let us pray that we can at least scrape through in the FA Cup until they return.
In Parrott we trust.

By Cleff Go To PostIsn't Henrique supposed to be a bit shit at his job?That's why Woodward wants him innit
Sack him after 6 months, put some PR briefs out about how you gave it a go with a DoF, go back to the way it is now.
By Cleff Go To PostIsn't Henrique supposed to be a bit shit at his job?
The good on the one hand:
https://en.as.com/en/2020/01/28/football/1580242214_955916.html
The (mostly) bad on the other hand (from Reddit):
• since signing with the Club on May 2017 (during which he faced legal problems in Portugal that slowed down his signing), his predecessor Kluivert commented: “he knows nothing about football, it’s business”
• just as he arrived, the first he tried was replacing Unai Emery with Jorge Jesus (ex-Sporting manager)
• back when we were looking for a Centerback, we were offered Pepe by Jorge Mendes, everything was going well, until contract duration was brought up. Mendes wanted 2 years, Antero rejected that and offered 1 option of 1 year extension (same as Buffon currently), both stood their grounds and Pepe signed for Besiktas a couple hours later
• Thiago Motta’s contract was ending and we were without a 6, Antero negotiated with Canovi (his agent) and they reached an agreement, suddenly the verbal agreements turned out to be very different to those on the written contract, which ended in Thiago Motta remaining a free agent for 4 days
• after being offended by Mendes sending Pepe to Besiktas, Antero put an end to the very advanced negotiations with James Rodriguez. he was loaned to Bayern with a €40M purchase option (we could’ve had the same deal and what a signing this could’ve been for our midfield, perfect Pastore replacement)
• even with the 2017 transfer window being a general success,we can see the failure in negotiations for Fabinho and the lack of a CDM replacement for Motta
• off to the Winter 2018, Antero harassed Lucas Moura in order to force him to leave the club, including using some very racist remarks such as “hey little n word, when will you leave the club?” He even arranged for Kia Joorabchian to ship him off to China, which Lucas firmly refused as he wanted to stay in Europe, he signed for Spurs
• after the poaching of some youth players (Like Zagadou), Antero and Luis Fernandez offered at least 24 professional contracts to our youth players, which a dozen players signed in May and August
• Emery contract as manager was ending, 4 managers were considered:
Neymar and his agents’ pick: Luis Enrique
The owners’ choice: Pochettino or Tuchel
Antero’s Choice: Sergio Conceicao!
• behind the scenes, Rabiot’s extension was already a problem, one that Henrique didn’t take seriously, Rabiot demanded €7.2M and the guarantee of PSG signing a CDM, we’re still waiting for the latter
• From the end of May until the middle of August, Antero made multiple meetings with Kanté’s representatives while trying everything including threats to sign him. The little bugger stood firm as he wanted to stay with Chelsea, and during that wasted period we missed out on signing one of William Carvalho, Steven Nzonzi, Arturo Vidal or Radja Nainggolan.
• Antero worked with 2 certain agents (Moussa Sissoko and Laurent Schmitt) on multiple occasions, including Lassana Diarra’s signing, his wasted time with Kante and promising talent Arthur Zagre’s contract for example, while multiple unknown Portuguese bizarrely joined PSG’s board, Jaime Teixeira for example
• In search of a renowned Centerback at the request of Tuchel, PSG reached an agreement with Jérôme Boateng. who even rejected an offer from Manchester United at the deadline, waiting for the Bayern - PSG deal for his transfer. Antero Henrique ended up never making an offer to Bayern Munich.
• with a gaping hole in midfield, Antero called and promised a PSG signing for Lobotka, the player was enchanted with the idea of joining the capital club, he waited for a Celta Vigo - PSG agreement until the end of the transfer window. Antero ended up never making an offer to Celta Vigo
• despite months of negotiations, and after rejecting offers up to €60M for Guedes, he finally gave in at the end, he sold Guedes to Valencia for €40M paid over 6 years, a disaster of a deal
• despite a gaping hole in midfield, Lo Celso was loaned out at the very end of the transfer window:
Obligatory €25M purchase if Betis reaches a European football spot, Optional purchase option if they don’t
• that transfer was entirely Henrique’s handiwork, who arranged his friend and agent on the deal so he can receive a commission
• the PSG summer window was a failure, no midfield signings, a late Bernat arrival and Rabiot not extending
• in October 2018, Luis Fernandez was close to getting booted by Antero for no reason, no motive whatsoever, without being told or warned in any way, right now he is being paid to do nothing
• although relations between Henrique and Rabiot with his representatives was already heated, he announced in November 2018 there will be no contract extension, an extension that should’ve been done and dandy way back in June 2017
• after being in contact with Eder Militao for ages, he refused to pay the €5M demanded by his club, so he signed for Porto in July 2018. Real Madrid is preparing to sign him for €50M next summer because he turned out to be a beast
• here comes the big one, while he was searching for a financial solution to pay the €75M demanded by Ajax, Barca came in and it was a done deal only in 48 hours. Another botched transfer by Antero
• the reason the talented youngster Nsoki’s contract signature was delayed is: Antero was pressuring him to change his agent in order to have a lucrative professional contract, he suggested his associates Moussa Sissoko and Laurent Schmitt
Some of the bad stuff isn't actually that bad and needs to be seen through the prism of being written by a reality-distorted PSG fan.
United should definitely go for it if they're interested in building a network of bribes and prostitution. He has the know-how and expertise.
Mike Dean will not be pleased. But Antero will make sure the PGMOL will bow to United.

Think you’re slightly overestimating Atletico’s ability to stop Liverpool tonight. Don’t think they’re an especially great side.

Not sure if this is true or not but people are saying Son broke his arm in the first minute (I don’t remember seeing it - may or may not have been making coffee at the time)
no point watching the atletico game since jaoaoao and costa are out injured. dortmund psg should be a fun game
Son :(
The UCL is my favorite tournament, I love everything about it. Something about seeing teams outside of their leagues competing with other top teams in different leagues is very exiciting and fresh. The concept of a super UCL awful though.

By rerixo Go To Postno point watching the atletico game since jaoaoao and costa are out injured. dortmund psg should be a fun gameHmm, however, it could be fun to see anti-football V pro-footbal tactics on the pitch, and seeing which tactic overcomes the other. Basicaly good versus evil.
Don't ever underestimate the awfulness of Simeone's football. Getafe have taken a page right out of peak Atletico football, tackling and stopping play at any chance they get. I don't think Atletico have what it takes to stop Liverpool's direct and vertical play but I would be interested in seeing how it unfolds.
Team Mbappe and Neymar are too strong, don't think Dortmund can do it.
