Following Our Nearest And Dearest Rivals 2026/27

I see lisandro is doing a romero, cronaldo, cucu. Quite effective way to force a club for a quick sale, maybe even as quick as janurary.

Btw, anyone know how much egbali charges shaktar for their CL game at stamford bridge? If it's free just because it's ukraine then it's a bit silly, should get a refund for murdyk

Shaktar are paying a fee but it hasn't been disclosed. This from The Athletic:

Chelsea will have full operational control. Shakhtar obviously have access to the site but Chelsea are running the match day on their behalf. The club will work with Shakhtar regarding security, stewarding and the Metropolitan Police.

It will be up to Shakhtar to decide if they want to produce a match day programme to be sold. If they do, Chelsea will provide the staff to sell it, like they do for their own fixtures. The prospect of any Shakhtar merchandise being available for sale is an issue still being discussed.

The ticket split between Shakhtar and their opponents will be the same as if Chelsea were playing. So Shakhtar will get all the home stands, with the away fans staged in the corner/half of the Shed End. The number of tickets available to the visitors may change depending on the opponent, but that is the gist of the arrangement.

Lisandro Martinez calls out the MU head office.

The same bloke who was responsible for Spurs' equalizer is calling out the MU office.
This issue goes both ways. Players hold zero accountability.

Yes, and two things can be true at the same time.

City 0-2 PSG. Good to see Maresca losing.

 

[El regreso]

Two sham clubs going at it. This is the sham match !!

 

[Dr Gonzo]

Nice to see Enzo getting schooled by Luis Enrique here. Guys f**king useless just lucky he's inherited a top squad.

 

[Caps_Lock_King]

City getting their just deserts, karma you c**ts

 

[Scott Harris]

Maresca getting hammered by PSG again. The CWC win was a one off.

 

[JM7]

Maresca is a one trick pony. Pep lite.

 

[JM7]

Some of PSG’s passing is lovely, really nice. It’s amazing that the Sporting Directors looked at Enrique and other elite clubs and thought “nah, we’ll copy Brighton instead”

 

[Sconnie Blue]

Almost like City’s results so far this season papered over the cracks

 

[Clearlake Cartel]

PSG will threepeat the Champions League. The best squad/manager combo of the past decade.

Shows how weak football in general is these days. It used to be extremely difficult to win it back to back, now two teams have managed it in 10 years.

 

[Dr Gonzo]

It's beautiful to watch this football from PSG, even though I very much dislike them as a club.

This sort of football is gone in the Premiership at the moment, there's no flair.

Tbh both teams looked brilliant, so many amazing players and they all work so hard from start to finish, that game was really good.

 

[Snedger]

Five of Villa’s six Champions League goals tonight from former Chelsea players and non of them are exactly missed. And we’re not even in Europe. Football is weird.

Give Alonso time. Think he is trying to get us there.

Factor in the quality of last night's opposition. No one lives with PSG in that form. City in the PL is the measuring stick.

 

[RMH]

Anyone knows how many people attended the Shaktar game at the Bridge last night?

I think their defenders are bang average. Looking forward to playing them !
