Chelsea and City facing potential investigation for tapping up van Dijk. Which presumably would lead to Arsenal as they talked to him. Chelsea being talked about as the same on L'pool for Solanke. Just waiting for Everton to jump in on the act and bring up Chelsea for Lukaku.

People need to get a grip and back to normality.

Seen the Chelsea question being asked but only in one paper, not seen us mentioned though. Source?
 
So thats garbage.. and moving on... We got any fullbacks yet?? ffs
 
It's all garbage as they'll be no investigation.

But if there were, it brings all 4 clubs under scrutiny.

But the garbage needs to stop like it's some sort of shocking new thing.
 
Or its just 'pool and thats how they got ahead in the race.. but nothing will happen.

Taking Tadic just for the lols is funny as **** though

Calling it now:

Final day of the season, Liverpool vs Brighton

Liverpool need to win for either 1st or 4th
Brighton need to win to stay up

It will be a draw and Liverpool with be 2nd/5th and Brighton will go down.

Winning the league at Chelsea, AGAIN, would be perfect the week before.



In other news, Puel has finally been binned from Southampton.

We should run a book on the exact date this summer van Dijk follows him out the door.
 
https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/radical-plan-to-allow-dribbling-from-free-kicks-kbgkm7s6m

One of the most radical shake-ups of the laws of football yet could see a raft of changes introduced including scrapping the rule that the ball must leave the penalty area at goal kicks.

The change would allow defenders to receive goal kicks within the penalty area with the attacking team having to stay outside of the box. Other proposed amendments would see players allowed to take a free kick or corner to themselves without another player having to touch the ball, players being permitted to take a free kick while the ball is moving and goalkeepers conceding a penalty if they handle a back pass.

The proposals are contained in a strategy document produced by the International Football Association Board (Ifab), the game’s law-making body, called “Play Fair” which is aimed at increasing the amount of playing time and improving the behaviour of players and coaches.

Others proposals up for discussion include only allowing the referee to blow for full-time or half-time when the ball is out of play — such a move would avoid incidents such as the infamous decision by the Welsh referee, Clive Thomas, to blow the final whistle in the 1978 World Cup match between Brazil and Sweden just as Zico’s header was on its way into the net for what would have been the winning goal.

A proposal for penalty goals to be awarded for handballs on the line, previously revealed by The Times, is also in the document which has been produced by David Elleray, the former referee and Harrow schoolmaster who is now Ifab’s technical director.p

Only allowing full-time whistle when ball is out of play is a great change. I'm sick and tired of refs arbitrarily breaking up promising last-minute attacks, sometimes just because people clear a cross but with the ball still in play.

They'll still find a way to frustrate us, e.g. blow when a team wins a corner... technically out of play :D

Happened to United once or twice in recent years, refs blowing up as we were about to take a corner.
 
How do UEFA reason it's 'not aginst the integrity of the competition' to allow both Red Bull clubs into the CL this year?

How are two clubs with the same owners not open to a whole host of controversy?

Mad decision. Or not being it's UEFA.

Really weird decision by them. The rules are so clear on this and yet they choose not to apply the rules on them. Rules are there for a reason and you can't just go on cherry picking what is applicable. If the rule isn't right anymore then you remove or amend it.

Really stupid as it opens the door on some other UEFA rules not popular like ban on third party ownership to be questioned more (which is also contested on European courts at this moment by Portuguese and Spanish football federations). Why should clubs follow some rules when UEFA won't themselves follow all of them through.

Bayern unveiling a new logo with some massive changes. On a side note if any football club wants to pay me to spend 5 minutes editing their existing logos my rates start at 100k.

Edit: These are the changes the wild men made. [h=4]1. New and darker blue; new and warmer red[/h][h=4]2. Vertex on ‘M’ is shorter and converges to a point[/h][h=4]3. Angle on Bavarian lozenges changes from -30 degrees to -35 degrees in rotation.[/h][h=4]4. Lozenges (or rhombuses, as we all know them) were scaled up to fix uneven crop. Seven blue instead of eight blue lozenges across.[/h][h=4]5. The terminals of the ‘C’ were lengthened.[/h]
