Decided lockdown wasn't for him and fancied partying with his 'influencer' girlfriend. Glad we've shipped him out on loan to be fair. Can see it going one of two ways, amazing season and comes back to be the next Moutinho, or he dissapears into championship obscurity.

Hopefully we can get something out of him. Think Steve Cooper has worked with him before at U17 level.

You speak well of Moutinho, a player that doesn’t do forward passes... his passes are sideways or backwards... It is a player that I never enjoyed watching.

Either way for the £5nillion we paid for him he's a deal, a steal a sale of the f*cking century Skip to 30 seconds for a pass of epic proportions Edited August 25, 2020 by CatManDoza Quote 50% Cat 50% Man 110% Bellend Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/260-the-football-thread/page/6/#findComment-225444 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirrel 5,180 Posted August 26, 2020 Author Share Posted August 26, 2020 Messi only has one destination in mind... Juani Jimena (@JimenaJuani) Tweeted: When Bielsa was in Bilbao, I remembered that Messi in an interview for an Argentine radio had talked about him. After months of searching, I finally found it. 💪 Messi, and his desire to be coached by Bielsa someday.

AlexHat29 23 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 If Messi is going anywhere, why not join the manager who was so successful at Barcelona he left for a new challenge?

Fido_le_muet 5,198 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 If he does leave Barca, it's to join the Premier League and City is most likely to sign him. No other championship is worthy of him.

DavidCore89 7,404 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Here's our new away shirt: I like it, to be honest I like colourful stuff, but I won't buy any merch outta principle. Yanks ain't paying their overdraft with my money. At least the Wolves kit is made by a reputable manufacturer On the plus side, great to see the back of our sports betting shirt sponsor, with Swansea University youths can wear the same shirt, instead of having the sponsor removed. Betting firms should be prevented from shirt and stadium sponsors IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/260-the-football-thread/page/6/#findComment-225664 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirrel 5,180 Posted September 12, 2020 Author Share Posted September 12, 2020 It’s good to be back. Football once again on our screens. 3pm matches on our screens for the first time in many years. I’m nervous about today’s game. There’s not going to be a tougher match this season and it’s no coincidence that it happens to be the first game of the season.

Best time (if there is one) to play Liverpool, before they get into their stride. Best of luck for the season. I see Leeds finishing 11th-14th. They should cause teams a lot of problems with their play style. I'll probably watch a lot of their games. Really like Bielsa, he's box office.

My local team stourbridge played Stevenage away, Stevenage hit a 25 yard screamer to win it in the last minute, or so they thought, ref blew his whistle as he hit the ball. Didn't count, stourbridge won the replay!
