    If the situation still looks like this in January and Al Ittihad is willing to bail us out that's a no-brainer. :nunothumb:

    It makes sense so long as you don't think about it at all. It has all been a clusterfuck since the wrecking ball swung on WHL. But we have a little beachhead of things going right here, now we have to build upon it. All the same stuff needed now that has been needed the whole time.

    Match Other Matches Fred 2023/24

    The way Gary's strange anti-charisma has worked to keep the English press and hype cycle from destroying the team at major tournaments has been quite something to watch from afar. He's an utter mediocrity as a coach on his best day, but what happens when he goes? Does it become a circus again?

    Player James Maddison

    Interesting that people had such a distaste for him. My feeling on Maddison for years has been "why the fuck don't Spurs sign that guy?" :ange-arms: You're next Eze

    He's what we fear Johnson might be and we paid half that :levylol::pochcry:

    Match Other Matches Fred 2023/24

    His ball striking is so elite in all contexts, it’s really kind of a mystery why he’s such a poor free kick taker.

    When Neymar transferred from PSG to Al-Hilal he went to an older club with more major honors in their history. They have the most AFC Champions League titles of any club. The clubs the PIF bought are in fact quite old, traditional clubs in the Saudi context. But then again you're European, so...

    Player Yves Bissouma

    I mean that's a pretty wild supposition, I dunno. It was definitely strange that we'd sign a player with that hanging over them. But we also got a very inexplicable price. All's well that ends well.

    Most of the revisionist history about Conte is ridiculous. But we spent a lot of last season not even trying to score goals in first halves, it was incredibly bizarre.

    It's good to be the toast of the hipster crowd, as Brighton can attest.

    Klinsi is a charlatan, but he does care about the club.

    His confidence is approaching Mars orbit right now

    Well and the thing is, the Western press was VERY ready to hail MBS as a modernizing, liberalizing figure in the Middle East. And in certain domains there's actually even some degree of truth to that. There's a version of this story in which MBS is treated as a global hero of human rights, even...

    Second only to Gonzalo Higuain in his domination of low-pressure games.

    Player Jordan Henderson

    Well when we say "Saudi Arabia", we implicitly mean "the Saudi side of the regional Saudi/Iran conflict" which includes the Gulf monarchies. That's a bloc and always has been. That Israel is ever-less-secretly a military ally of that group would have been unfathomable 25 years ago and is...

    Player Jordan Henderson

    They aren't, nor are Americans, but a cynical, tactical private-ish rapprochement with Netanyahu on regional security issues and an increasing Republican partisanship in its diplomacy with the US (shared by Israel) is part of the broader MBS strategy to announce Saudi Arabia as a larger presence...

    Club Come here to laugh at Gooners

    It's not entirely clear what happened with Pepe, there are reports both of him getting paid off from the last year of his deal at Woolwich but also them receiving a transfer fee. He's also only on a one-year deal in Turkey. Suffice it to say, I think Pepe is getting the benefit of the bargain...

    Player Dejan Kulusevski

    The returns have been bountiful in some parts of his career and barren in others. Hard to figure. I've liked his performances so far this year a lot better than last year. But Brennan Johnson also has a lot of promise. We'll see.

    Player Jordan Henderson

    There is an informal alliance between MBS, Netanyahu and the Israeli right wing, and the Trump movement that is really a uniquely malevolent actor in world affairs, and this Saudi league project is an unambiguous effort to raise its prestige, influence and power in the world, and the stars...
