Already placed a substantial bet. It's coming home. :champions:

Transfermarkt has always been more lenient in awarding assists. If we are using their statistics Xavi had 23 assists in the 08/09 La Liga season. Most other sites only give him 20. Deflected passes and rebounds are usually not counted as assists. Unlucky, but it will all be okay once Leo wins...

Won't be sacked now. Pumped a relegation fodder side 5-0 in a meaningless match, but now the likes of MD and SPORT will come out with stories about how the team has regained form just in time for the CL, the players believe they can win again etc. You know, the usual deal from these rags.

Surprised that he isn't the top assister in Europe this season. Muller had 21.

In Europe still only Bayern, Madrid, Liverpool and Juventus have a better points % than us. Madrid will likely finish with 89 points, last season we had 87. Those are very typical numbers for any title winning club in a top European league. The past decade of needing to finish in the...

I don't rate performances in dead rubber fixtures, but I KNOW we're going to win the CL. :cheers:

Nice goal from Leo. Alaves are simply awful.

Great finish from Suarez.

Alaves are safe from relegation. La Liga only moved the matches with no significance to earlier in the day. All the teams with something to play for kick off at 9pm local time.

Are you lot seriously arguing Valverde and Setien are equivalent as coaches? :lol: There is NO evidence that supports this. Neither are grade A coaches, but Valverde is a B level manager while Setien is a C-. Valverde's next job will be at the likes of Valencia, Villarreal, Sevilla etc. and...

Sign a new manager after last season and then what? Would this board have given him any say in the transfers or the sporting project? Would this group of players have run any more? Bench an amigo and would the locker room have stuck with him through it? Would he have got Leo to play a...

That 2nd leg at Anfield was not some disastrous tactical performance from Valverde. It was our mentally damaged squad gifting stupid goals. Something they had made a habit of in the CL long before Valverde's arrival. No Allegri or Ten Hag was going to solve this problem. PSG have been through...

Also pumping in high crosses to dwarf forwards. Same thing Barca does when we're panicking in the final minutes.

Typical City. Zidane is going to have a bit of fun in a few weeks. Sign Auba up for a few years. Much better than current Suarez.

Missing sitter after sitter now.

Will check out the 2nd half. Had no idea there was a FA Cup match today.

Exclusive: Barcelona offers an exchange between Philippe Coutinho to Arsenal for Matteo Guendouzi. [footmercato]

This is the best chance we will have for the next 5 seasons. This side is finished in intense two legged knockout ties. No away matches for us this time around and the quality of football should be at the lowest it's been in CL for ages. The teams competing are either exhausted or not match...

I don't know. I have a weird feeling we are going to shithouse our way to the CL in this shortened campaign. Feel strongly about this. Setien won't leave after that.

The words of Messi left Setien very touched. So much so that after the match he barely spoke to the players, locking himself up with his staff in the office, but without the presence of Eder Sarabia, who decided to leave the club alone that night. [cat radio]
