haha following the ødegaard to madrid thingy I just saw an article posted about how he was measured shooting 60 km/h

when he was 6 years old


also the Chelsea Liverpool game was really entertaining I think! fantastic save by courtois on lallana's shot..

Yeah sometimes i feel like Mourinho is being too clever. There are some managers, like your Spanish brand ones particularly who tinker way to fucking much (like Ranieri level)

and then there are the Mourinho's who are super pragmatic but always want to throw in the hipster move to prove a point to himself more than others.

And to dumb down what I mean by pragmatic its like his thinking going into games is

" my team is better and they are going to play like the better team" = X approach

"my team to me is not superior playing a certain style. I will counter it" = y approach

A glorified rock paper scissors if you will but then he goes and tell himself

"Hipster MOVE

"My team is better than Liverpools but we are going to play like they are better." No one is going to expect that LOLZZZ"

Why ? I dont get it. Its such an easy trap to fall into I get it. But I dont think that should ever be allowed to happen.

Sure Liverpool are potentially a great team but pfftt.. I dont know. It was annoying to watch a Chelsea team that is really enjoyable to watch throw in a double pivot with that useless Mikel actually making Matic less effective (who has taken a bit of a dip recently) and throwing off the entire balance.

Well i'll be, i agree with this Rebs good job!

Another thing i don't get from Mourinho this season is the lack of rotation in the team, he has a squad of 23 and he hardly uses more than 13 players, and 2 of those are the keepers haha. Subs never come on until there is no point and Remy doesn't get to play even though when he plays he scores and i like his style.

Oh well i shouldn't complain we in 4 competitions, top scorers in Europe in the end? or joint so far, top of England and in the 2 domestic cups. Pretty good so far.

you will complain when the title race heats up at the end of the season and your players drop like flies due to fatigue.
or next season you go on an injury run like ours

Well this summer nothing happens so it is ok, there is the rest period everyone needs. It's only when you have a World Cup or EUROs that it becomes an issue in the summer for players fatigue. I think we will be ok going to the end of the season but we can deal with the injuries anyway imo. The squad (on paper atleast) looks more than capable if we lose John Terry or Costa or Oscar for a period of time.

A Chinese billionaire has bought a 20 percent stake in Spanish football club Atletico Madrid.

Wang Jianlin, chairman of Wanda Group, paid £34million in the deal which gives the company a seat on the club's board of directors.

Wanda is one of China's largest, most influential property and entertainment companies with a growing footprint in Europe including significant investment in the UK.

The deal marks the first time a Chinese company has invested in a top tier European football club.

That's me in FM. I usually have eight or nine foreigners in my starting lineup every game.



Maybe he'll make the squad for the FA Cup game against Brighton on Sunday.

Chelsea do often win games early though, I can imagine the players weren't too tired after Swansea for example.

Btw in the Netherlands it's the opposite when it comes to foreign players. I believe the last classic we fielded only 4 foreigners in total. I think a mix is best.

Edit :oh didn't see the last one. Yeah all clubs in the Netherlands operate like Sporting, which is great foe the national team but nor so much for clubs.
