Bare hyggelig! Av ren nysgjerrighet, sikter du til podcasten med Lars Sivertsen eller Mercato på FTV?

Blir flott med Fotballtinget i helgen.
Endelig får vi kanskje ødelagt norsk fotball på skikkelig mange måter samtidig. VAR videreføres, cupen ødelegges og Toppserien går fra 10 til 12 lag.
Er vi ordentlig heldige er det noen som åpner for Saudi-sponsing og restriksjoner mot stygge ord på tribunen.

Hallo Håkon, artig innspill siden jeg akkurat har startet med årets utgave at Top 39! Svaret får vi altså om noen uker. Tror imidlertid vi er ganske enige når det gjelder CB.

The “project” has run its course, Iain. The January signings the last proof one needed.

Right, so Man City - in urgent need of revamping their side - ended up spending €150M on two centre-backs that are of little use now (great potential, possibly, but who knows) and an attacker playing out of position. Ok.

Alle forsto at han tok den jobben for et egotrip, sitte med «de store gutta» ved det beste bordet. Men at en såpass voksen mann er såpass juvenil, er fryktelig flaut.

Ikke bare harry og småsuspekt, men denne bromancen er så fryktelig barnslig i tillegg

Problemet med dette er jo at disse prosentanalysene er høyst subjektive

Who could replace Salah, Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk if they leave Liverpool? Liverpool have three of their top players out of contract in the summer, so who would be a good fit to replace them if they leave?

Who could possibly replace Salah, Van Dijk and Alexander-Arnold? (In the event that one, the other or all leave, that is) Not a simple exercise, but a few ideas here www.espn.co.uk/football/sto...

Useful, no doubt, but I do see some ethical issues with recording 12-13-year-old kids for commercial purposes

Regardless of how Leicester’s season pans out, I’m pretty certain Bilal El Khannouss in is the Premier League to stay. Chelsea might’ve missed a trick here.

Det har blitt en gjenganger. Jeg får litt sånne «ok, orker ikke flette dette inn i teksten nå for da blir det for komplisert»-vibber
