Football 2023/24

The first three games this season have made me think the difficulty level is already higher than last season but wow. Getting Man City at home in the Carabao Cup was bad enough, but this is a triple whammy of difficulty. But equally, this is our first time in the Champions League in 20 years, so I guess it's about the experience.

Can dream of progress though. All 3 of PSG, Dortmund and Milan have their flaky moments.

those saudi's are going to decimate the prem, paying silly money for any stand out players - they've offered £150M for salah.

By today's ridiculous standards £150m isn't silly money, it's about right (maybe even a bit low).

But I get what you're saying. Mind you football is finished as a credible competitive sport anyway.

Will be surprised if Salah is a Liverpool player this time next week. 

The bids will just keep on getting higher, I am sure Liverpool are aware of that. As are they in a position to turn down 150m for a player that turns 32 next june?

Yes, Liverpool do very well in there transfer business and getting rid at the right time.

Utd would just give them a new 5 year contract.

Hmmmm... I'm not unduly worried just yet, as we were given a dreadful start to the season with 3 games we have struggled to win in days of yore, so was braced for the possibility of a run of Man City, Liverpool and Brighton yielding 0 points.

But f**king hell today's performance was just lacking in all areas.

Centre back partnership of Maguire and Evans. 😆

Was just about to say. Sure enough the winning Arsenal goals come after they both come off, and given apparently both Martinez & Lindelof left the stadium injured, that raises the possibility of that being a starting CB pairing v Brighton in 2 weeks time. Which, bold.

I find football coverage funny in terms of how they look for their own narrative. Rice scores a winning goal today and it’s evidence he is a big game player, Nketiah scores the winner a year ago and it’s just a dramatic winning goal!

big money gives a label for a big game player.

You don't have to be a top level manager to come to that conclusion. He is shite, everything that's wrong with uniteds transfer policy.

Seen more character in a dead fish.

    • sub yes I could see but I don't think they get 1hr 15, a headliner starting at 18:15 though is unlikely. Even the recent co-headlines that have had like 1hr 15 then a 1hr 30 after were on 8pm or just before, you are trailing behind more than 1.5 hours then. In that scenario some 3rd down bands are only starting at 18:15 and some haven't lol. I agree they won't not book them due to this but it won't be 6 headliners. It would be 5 headliners and you wouldn't want to see 5 headliners booked but Biffy were to not be thouhgt of as an option for one. Wolf Alice on the other hand could sub no bother and you'd think nothing of it. I'm not so sure Biffy would get headline though after the festival choice in Kendal this year.
    • Definitely. UKIP also used Merkel welcoming 1 million Afgans to Europe in 2015 during the brexit vote.   Politicians in other countries within the EU know the are going to lose voters to parties to the right of them over stuff like this and they've no control over it.
    • I think it will very much vary on who there is to book who they know will sell out a day.    They’ve co-headline and full headline stuff in future, there no reason at all they won’t do it again, even if it means cutting someone’s set by 15 mins or having a band less in a big bands day…   They’re not going to not book Foo fighters and instead get the equivalent of Florence and C&S just to not have a band do a big set…   …unless of course they think it will make them more money…
    • Maybe some right wing leaders like Meloni are just playing to their base, like Reform have been here talking about them ending up at Calais.
    • Citizenship via investment programs basically work by saying if you invest this much in our economy (say buy a property worth x) then we will either grant you citizenship or residency with a route to it. The EU has rules on how low countries can set the bar. Montenegro was one of the easier ones to get and they've had to tighten it up.
