It could be but only by idiots.

How is that ironic exactly?

Your picture - is that your Grandfather?

The inimitable David Squires' take: https://www.theguardian.com/football/ng-interactive/2018/dec/11/david-squires-on-the-mistreatment-of-raheem-sterling

Apparently he had a job as a mime artist.

this is a very ill-considered comment - there is a huge difference: FFP was not in existence when Roman 'invested ' in our club. City, through their 'benefactor', have manipulated the FFP egreously. The only questions that pertain is whether FIFA, UEFA & the EPL will follow it through. My thoughts: City & PSG deserve maximum sanctions - not just huge fines but relegation & the stripping of titles.

I agree - at the end of the season Real will make an offer for him which will probably drag out for weeks but it looks like a fait accompli to me. Hazard is what, 28/29 now & it's always been his ambition to play for them. Obviously we'll want to drag as much as we can out of Real when it takes place.

Heya - I have seen it & I agree that its a bit of a mess isn't it - poor old russ - trying to do too much on his directorial debut. There is some good acting & some scenes have been shot well but the editing was poor in respect to all that back & forward (which explains why they felt that captions were necessary) and all that water divination rubbish - the film would have much better w/o that.

^ hehe...heya punch...22 or is it now 23, and w/o kids...hehe. I imagine he's also sick of England with brexiteer idiots like you and of course much nicer climate in Spain - but hey, always good to see you that you have an opinion.....

hehe...been called a lot of things in my time but 'nice'...that's new & gave me a chuckle so thx mate: as for the perception these days that the 'loyalty' of professionals must, in some imagined way, equate with the 'loyalty' of supporters....crikey....

Righto...well, if you want to waste your emotions on him that's a matter for you - he's always been cagey since day dot but he was a professional on the paddock. Here's the thing - not every footballer who plays for us is always going to be 'model' of the paddock. Indeed that gets rarer & rarer these days so why the angst exactly?

You're right but you're only right - so he isn't married but his kids are in Madrid....enough reasons right there.

heya - always calm - don't take any footballing matter personally unlike some on here.....

hey mate - so be salty - matter for you. As for his reasons - well his wife is spanish isn't she & lives in Madrid....writing has been on the wall for a couple of years hasn't it? So why the angst exactly?

^ gee I'm sorry for your facial tic & the fact that you have to rely on gifs - tell me, do you have a thing for that actor?

deary me....so much nancy schoolboy angst in this thread despite the fact that he's been angling to leave for about 2 years now & for credible reasons. I wish him well - certainly not our best keeper ever but within our top 3 to 4 keepers of all time. Thanks for your performances Courtois & I wish the best for you for the rest of your career.

Hey don't you know....pool are meant to win it every year....since, what 29 years ago or somefink.....have spuds peaked...well we'll see....Utd....will they have as much luck with the refs as usual...well we'll see...as for L'Arse with the regime change who knows? I like your optimism regarding us but surely as long as we make the top 4 that'll be good enough.

I agree that the 3rd was probably the weakest & that Macgregor over-acted the twins. However, I thought Thewlis was superb as was Winstead.

Of course none of us know as to whether or not Ratcliffe did indeed make an offer to buy the club in June. However, it seems to me that if he did indeed make an initial offer of some sort at that time & same was rejected at that time, then it is at least feasible that he might come back with a higher offer at some stage. Interesting times....

I don't think we've really got any option but to continue with Morata in the short term & assess the situation come Xmas. As for Higuain I'm not enthused at all & I think that some on here are being a bit harsh on Giroud.

Not only that but he'd missed some training sessions after the Belgium game after taking a knock so he obviously was labouring somewhat (not that you'd really notice whilst he was on). It occurred to me whilst watching the 1st half that DDs gameplan was to let Croatia have most of the ball and just to absorb the pressure so as to tire Croatia (who of course had 1 days less rest) & of course this meant even more work for little N'Golo. Any ways DD did the sub at the right-time and the rest is history. How lucky we are to have N'Golo.

I watch less & less on the tele these days (preferring to do other things) but no-one could deny that it really is the golden age of tele series given netflix et al & all the other streaming services on offer. I suppose last year the 3rd series of Fargo was for me the best tele series I watched. This year, I've watched some more very good tele series: Australian Productions - Mystery Road; BBC - Killing Eve & Apple Tree Yard. I really hope Sandra Oh gets the Emmy for her work in Killing Eve.

Totally in control against lucky to win against Australia. Fixed it for you. Robben & Higuain eh? Crikey....how embarrassing for this site let alone you.

Here's a couple of legal concepts for you: affirmation/waiver & estoppel by conduct. You're far better off just sticking to posting your rather tiresome speculations on football matters rather than coming across as a complete fool. Just a suggestion.
