An unnamed England football player under investigation for being kicked out of a club for doing cocaine.
Courtois and Navas shouldn’t be on the same team, even if it’s as high profile a squad as Real Madrid - they’re way too good to not to start every game.
Temporarily stymied as to what other squad could come even close to having such elite goalies. (The French national team when they had weirdo Barbez and Coupet?)
Brutal - that should be Barthez.
Wasn’t Courtois Cech’s understudy at Chelsea for quite a while? Though of course, he probably wasn’t as good back then. I seem to remember Pagliuca and Buffon fighting over the Italy #1 jersey for quite a while in the early 00s. But you’re right, there aren’t many examples, especially in club football (for obvious reasons).
little trivia tidbit - Man U has conceded more corner gals than anyone else.
Can I just say that today’s result in the Wolverhampton v Leicester City game sucked!? Sometimes, I hate football. :mad:
Manchester gals are the easiest of all.
Crazy day!! Newcastle beats Man City and Burnley comes so close, up 2-0 versus Man U, but it ended in a 2-2 draw.
Great fightback at the end by Man. U. My son was horribly depressed, and then, in the space of ten minutes, not. 
One of my good friends is a Burnley fan and he was the opposite.
If Liverpool win tomorrow, that’ll be a wrap barring an epic collapse. I definitely thought we were going to see the first repeat champion in a while.
Na-ha…City lose to the Magpies yesterday. For such a moneyed team you’d think their defense could be a little more solid.
I think I’ve yet to see de Bruyne make an errant pass or get dispossessed this season. Every game, he pulls off at least a couple “whoa” through passes. (He should’ve gotten a second yellow for his toe clip later in that game.)
RIP Gordon Banks.
Claude Puel out at Leicester City. About time. He didn’t seem to be able to articulate a consistent strategy that maximized the potential of the players available. Good results against the top teams always followed by poor results against the smaller fry in the League; getting hammered 4-1 at home by Palace a classic example.
Rumors indicate Brendan Rogers might be in line to step in. I would approve of that.
And Brendan Rodgers is in. A good choice. Should perk the club up and arguably give them a shot at going even higher next season.
Huh, seeing Van Dijk getting a brace a couple days ago against Twatford. Two headers in a row. Probably helps being tall.
Will City overtake Liverpool for the Prem title?
Thanks, Mr. Trippier, for the insurance OG for my Blues. Spurs’ chances to be at the top of the league looking to be a lot more daunting for them now.
Didn’t know I’d resort to separated-at-birth observations, but come on…
Seriously?
Five goals at Old Trafford today that were marvelous. Every one of them a contender for highlight reels. Amazing to watch!
Dortmund are totally blowing it
They are, but it shouldn’t be that surprising, and sites like fivethirtyeight always had them as underdogs to win the league even when they had an 8 or 9 point lead.
Alcacer’s goal scoring early on wasn’t sustainable for a 2014 Ronaldo, let alone a guy that was rightly not valued by Barca. Reus is fragile, and Sancho isn’t ready to carry a team on his shoulders.
I imagine Sancho is gone in the summer. It’ll be interesting to see what they do to retool. They’ve had an incredible amount of transfer money come in the past couple years.
