Maybe the rumours are true.....?

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Dean Smith says Grealish has suffered 'an injury setback' and will be out for 'a few weeks'

Rumours abound....

 

[Lupo]

Rumours abound....

Indeed. Have been looking at VT and even some of them are speculating

 

[big mean bunny]

I don't think he has ever played a full season has he? He does seem like maybe they need to look at adapting his style maybe as the worry on how would be he might be suffering a Wilshire, Owen style early burnout.

 

[Derby Wolf]

That disappoints me from an England perspective

Giving Southgate his justification too. Think hes got reservations on Grealish's character he'd get pelters for leaving him out but i think he will if Grealish isn't back and firing for at least the final 3/4 games.

Oh wow, colour me shocked:

Juan Cala: La Liga will not charge defender for Mouctar Diakhaby incident

La Liga will not be bringing any charges as it stands against Cadiz defender Juan Cala for the incident in last weekend’s game in which Valencia defender Mouctar Diakhaby said he was racially abused. After a clash between the players in the first half of the game at Cadiz’s Ramon Carranza...

This made me so angry that I'm legitimately lost for words.

You're certainly lost for the one that's spelled 'literally'.

I know this a test event but all the faffing around on this to be 1 of 8000 rattling in a 90000 seater stadium would make me just stay at home I think

Utterly pointless “testing” with under 10% capacity. Literally any moment of the day you will be in more congested areas.

You could try and go down the transport to and from the ground angle, but if London is effectively “open” then even if you had 30k in there it would probably be an a drop in the ocean.

Slavia Prague's, Kudela banned for 10 games by UEFA for racially abusing Rangers Glen Kamara

Kamara banned for 3 games for wanting to smack the racist prick.

Good!

Kamara banned for 3 games for wanting to smack the racist prick.

Bad!

 

[lemonjelly]

It should be a mandatory outcome Kamara is allowed to smack the racist prick!

And I do spend an inordinate amount of time scrolling through that twitter account kenny. Thanks for losing half my afternoon for me!

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Looks like the suspension includes the Euros so while he's played for the national team lately, he won't be allowed to go.

Good.

Sign her up, she'd have stopped Lingard the other night

I love how she has plenty of time to play the ball back to the keeper but decided to take the attacker out instead.

There is absolutely no need to do what she did!

Some members of the media seem to be highly annoyed that it’s PSG v City in semi final because of who backs each club.

 

[Tredman]

Perhaps they should look to who owns their papers..

Yep some very sanctimonious stuff from them seems they’re not happy that both are owned by Abu Dhabi and Qatar based owners.
