Russian newspaper had reported Daniel Agger had been arrested in Russia, as part of an anti putin protest. Which is true. Just turned out it was a russian who had changed his name to Daniel Agger. Sensational journalism.

By n8 dogg Go To PostIs Tuchel an ideologue? Wedded to a system? Don’t really know much about him other than he made his players train with oranges in their hands so they wouldn’t grab.Yes. Can't wait until he forces his players to abandon sugar, wheat, cereal. Did that at Dortund and it was pretty effective with some players slimming down.
Not tied to a system, but is mostly interested in posession based footy and finding solutions instead of just pressing for the sake of it.
Also solving situations with direct play instead of any form of long balls, unless you're switching sides and a player got more than enough space.
By Bungie Go To PostI’m sure this idea that a German manager will be the one to get the best out of their two new German players will be a resounding successThink there's a far bigger chance that he stabilizes Pulisic to a point of making him really valuable, since he was the breakout manager for him.
One of the big plus points for Tuchel was finding the right spot for players and include them in his system quite effective.
Dear Frank, I wrote you, but you still ain't callin'
I left my cell, my pager and my home phone at the bottom
I sent two letters back in autumn, you must not've got 'em
There probably was a problem at the post office or somethin'

In this pandemic market we have to be pragmatic, he’s better than Lucas and Lamela. Probably better than Bae at this point too.
https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/55790817Manchester City are already on a ridiculously good run of form but if they signed Diego Costa now, he would win them the Premier League - I am sure of it.
Also, how have I not seen this picture before?
Stiller looks unhappy

By LabouredPatriot Go To PostGents, he's done it again. A veritable oddyssey with an exquisite destination.
His blog is a fantastic read. I would 100% pay for a ‘Keysie’ (as he spells it) audio version.
This one was especially good as he hits all his classics. Never misses a chance to say he called something that happened or talk about how he’s mates with someone in the game, goes off on an “and by the way...” tangent about something unimportant, plugs BeIn Sport, his “amazing life” in Doha, and how amazing the World Cup is going to be. And then the best one, which I’m delighted he decided to bring out on the monumental 10 year anniversary of his sacking, “I have proof I was stitched up and I’ll share it at some point”.

You just can't not love his use of the Frank Lampard sacking as both SEO and a portal for him to relitigate his Sky sacking for 1,138th time.
He was defo made a scapegoat. Everyone knows you need a penis and at least 1 testicle to grasp something as complicated as offside.
By jts Go To PostGod I miss him
I look forward to the incoming paragraph of text explaining why a decision that favoured Man City was correct.
Edit: Willkiller reading my mind.

I hope he can help Martial with his finishing. Seems like Greenwood has taken to him really quick. I notice Cavani giving him a lot of advice when they play together.
By FootbalIFan Go To PostCavani was a workhorse at napoli tooShame a racist like Hitch hates him
And he has incredible passion when he scores
What a human
Greenwood finishes like vardy
You watch their goals and its always well placed into a corner of the net.
Lets give them some respect slaent

By n8 dogg Go To PostPaging Meier
Embarassing that guidance was needed at all, nothing was stopping the referees from ruling out that goal when it happened. They just made a mistake and then twisted the rules to protect themselves.
Just like those daft handballs earlier in the season, only an enemy of football could defend those decisions.

Or, more accurately, someone who will blindly defend their club regardless of circumstance or how fucking daft it makes them look
Stunning.

Wonder if it'd be feasible to do the whole thing in London when we're in the tail end of this.
3 massive stadiums, Stamford Bridge and a few with 25-35k capacity off the top of my head.
Christ knows when that tail end will arrive though.

Wembley, OT, Emirates, Anfield, St James, Stamford Bridge, Stadium of Light, Villa Park, Spurs, Olympic Stadium all 40+
Completely forgot about the London Stadium lol
Loftus Road is a bit smaller than I thought too. Guess if there are a decent number of fans allowed in they'll need to spread the venue's out, and if not they'll want to use as few stadiums as possible

Was there not consensus that the Bernardo Silva offside maybe wasn’t against the letter of the law, but certainly the spirit of it?
I'm amazed how much you guys still entertain Meier when he twists himself over to explain some ill gotten City advantage. Lad to this day stands firm on nothing dubious going on with how the club gets their money, and UEFA, FIFA, VAR and the Boy Scouts being out to get them.
Forgot to quote this post yesterday:

How is this man a writer
Picking on him when Jamie Jackson writes for that paper is bold.
Ronay overdoes the figurative language, but he doesn’t write like a fucking Wikipedia article. At least 60% of JJ’s work is extended quotations from the subjects. I tell my students off for doing that ffs.
