Mirth Saudis have requested a spot in the champions league
UEFA will definitely cave
The big clubs would likely walk away and proceed with the super league in that scenario IMO
General Football
Add to that, the reason these Saudi clubs can do whatever they want is because there's no FFP there. Wouldn't work to let one team in the competition ignore the FFP while the rest of the clubs have to abide.
Not a bad start for Bellingham.
Can't help but think what a shame it is that he's chosen to go and play in a dead, uncompetitive league.

This kid at Barcelona, Yamal, looks fucking special.
Spurs out of the league cup 
Speaking of the league cup, we have drawn Brentford away in the next round.
An easier draw would have been nice but it'll be a good test for some of our youngsters anyway. Hopefully we see a bit of Nwaneri through this competition this season.

Won't be any youngsters there. Well maybe "youngsters" like Reiss, ESR and Vieira, and even then doubt they all play. Probably just the usual guys with a few fringe players sprinkled in from the regular bench warmers.
Not sure if your regions can watch this but this is the first Saudi El Clasico. Finish 4-3. Some high quality goals and plays

This pass by Messi is just silly. How do you even have the vision to even think about making that pass and then execute it with perfect weight.
That's just ridiculously good. Who will think of passing it out wide for a tap in again from the middle of the goal. Wow

He's turning himself into a one man Harlem Globetrotters over there. The touch to turn prior to that ball is ridiculous ... he knows he's gonna flat-foot the defenders, counterbalances the force needed to kill the ball with a flourishing arm like a matador or a dancer. It's a great exhibition. The thing about Messi is this: you watch him and you're prompted to imagine the ridiculous heights football could reach.
Just another day in French football.
Didn't know Christmas hams were already on sale, must be part of Lyon's gastronomic tradition.

Mirth what? y'all haven't seen CR7 doing stuff like that recently? 
He's having a blast out here in the MLS. No pressure - doing what he loves and loving what he does. Good thing is pace was never his main thing so he's not going to lose much in that regard. Could easily play till way over 40 if he stays uninjured.
England has quality almost everywhere don't they
Lol, Zinchenko!
Come on Zinchenko! Send Saka and Rice packing.
