I would love to see the EPL kick these fuckers out.
The EPL said that, if it was ever proved that the PIF lied about being independent from the Saudi government, they would remove them from ownership. Well, the PIF put forward a sworn argument in a US court that they are, in fact, part of the sovereign government of Saudi Arabia.
Right. But the EPL claimed to have been satisfied as to the PIF’s independence because they just wanted the money to come in, which is a petard upon which they now find themselves hoist.
Would be interesting if Citeh and Newsaudi were also banned. With Chelsea being forced to sell to balance their humongous FFP issues and Man Utd’s sale to Qatar being blocked, agents are going to have to earn their commissions for once.
Chasing UCL qualification and titles. There’s a reason why they were so integral to the Super League concept because, ironically, it would’ve allowed them to rein in their spending.
Liverpool with a beautiful goal, set up by a wonderful through ball. I felt a bit sorry for the United back who got wrong-footed by the pass. You could just feel him going “oh fuck, I’m dead”.
He had an awful game, the penalty was bad enough but Sasha Lukic took a cleet to the face from Ivan Toney, Toney didn’t even get booked. Not calling for a red there, but it was an obvious yellow. Completely reckless and gets nothing but a free kick. Fulham had an attack that could have led to a chance but Willian got called for a foul for going up for a 50/50 header because his shoulder bumped the defender, what the fuck? I’m not one to blame the ref, and Fulham didn’t play very well, but that was bad. Fulham did get away with a second yellow on Sasha Lukic at one point when he fouled, Damsgard? On a Brentford counter, to be fair. It wasn’t completely one sided, and I’m obviously biased. It just sucked.
