I'm not even sure how much of an advantage doping would really give most footballers. Certain defensive positions, strikers for sure. but the best possesion based midfielders like Pogba are often physical shrimps. Pogba had world class touch, passing etc. don't think testosterone really doesn't help here.

It's also rich from a Barca fan when the GOAT had to be pumped full of HGH in his youth to even make it out of midgetry, which is somehow okay.

Those penalties seem crazy harsh, at least compared to the punishments we give in American sports for doping.

lol y’all come get your mans. no reason to die on this hill.

Signing for Villa was weird, he could have went to a CL team

Who? Tielemans?

Bruno was just never going to fail. He was too hungry.

Worked his *** off from from Boavista to Sampdoria in his teens and early 20’s.

Player development is an issue at United, they aren't elevating enough players, Bruno, Rashford, Shaw are successes, Garancho (pending).

They killed Ronaldo for this but maybe some investment into facilities & infrastructure could help this when you constantly have injuries, and don't look like you're in the best shape physically & mentally.

I think it's a combination of developmental issues and characters of the players their recruiting. Doesn't help that they offered everyone and their momma high wages which doesn't lend itself to motivating players who are probably comfortable just collecting a check.

All summer it was players offered a chance to leave and restart their careers but instead opting for the money... thats cool but probably speaks to why they havent kicked on with that mentality at the club.

Other fans and rivals will easily identify these issues yet also call United fans spoiled and ungrateful for protesting for years against the very same owners responsible for it just because all they see is transfer money spent at the end of the day (which is all the clubs money btw, not even the owners own private investment into club).

Everything you outlined is exactly why the fans have been hellbent on pushing them to sell...

It's only news to folks who haven't been paying attention beyond the headlines and bantz on the pitch.

Been completely left behind by the current top crop of clubs when it comes to footy infrastructure and developement because those areas have been neglected for years.

Show Ceferin and Infantino this thread during international breaks and those ****s will be cut to twice a year. Absolute madness in here rn

 

[jape]

well played

 

[Coupé It]

Sampaoli is about to get the boot Bantz Lord T

Flamengo fans are protesting like crazy against everyone. Especially the board.

Same fans who went to Gabigols house few weeks ago.

 

[MetalMario]

My dad’s been struggling without footy. Told me he stumped down to 2 div Honduran footy and Mexican baseball league. And he hates baseball

 

[Verde Shuttles]

Nasty work, this kid should be in Portugal, Ajax or Dortmund something like that

 

[mastamind89]

Di Maria has that dog in him. He was running up and down the wing like he has three lungs. When asked about the altitude in La Paz after the match, he said “it’s all mental”

Talk that **** AdM. Honestly, idk if we will see a player like him again

Who? Tielemans?

Hate it had to be him Was there any issues with him at Leicester? Dude who is obviously talented, you’d imagine as a free agent he would have had better offers than Villa.

 

[Verde Shuttles]

Idk if I'm wrong but Cherki reminds me of Di Maria, gotta get him out of Lyon soon

 

[Coupé It]

Should have seen Porto fans losing their mind because Saudi poached our nutritionist that’s been at the club since 2007. Every Porto manager called him the best.

Funny times
