Yep we should be preparing for the Premier League by playing better teams than us. Not Hellas Verona and Wolfsburg reserves.

Perez was decent today. However Hellas Verona were shit so impossible to read anything into it.

Some injury problem with Gayle. Not playing today. We are in trouble. Going into the season with Mitrovic and Perez upfront who weren't good enough to keep us up last time.

Tax loophole that lets them declare a proportion of their wages as a payment for their "image rights" taxed at 20% instead of their wages being for the actual work they do like the rest of us have to pay. Other than the Queen, Premier League footballers are the last people who should be talking about giving an "extra" 1%. This is a group who upscale their mansions and cars by reducing the amount they have to pay to schools, hospitals, welfare and the infrastructure we depend on to generate wealth. Mata is having an existential crisis which is very common among all people of a good nature regardless of their wealth. I just challenge the notion that 1% is somehow an acceptable answer to that crisis from the position footballers are in.

1% of the disposable income off an £80k a week salary is £22k, leaving £2.178m to buy a few fast cars and designer jeans with holes in the knee caps.

I wonder if Mata will be using the scandalous loop hole that allows rich footballers to donate £50,000 to charity per annum and have the same amount deducted from their tax "burden" if they declare it on their SA form ?

Some Man Utd players are paying 20% tax on their wages rather than 45% so why doesn't Mata propose they donate 25% of their salary to charity?

In real terms it's like me putting 50p in a Guide Dogs for the Blind box at the till in Wilko's and announcing it on Facebook

Season ticket came this morning and inside information to track a parcel the club are sending me Will it be something good for a change or some tat. Exciting

How many accounts on this site does Ken Livingstone have?

It's UEFA who should be banned from the first 2 games of the Champions League

Smug is what most of the coverage is. Particularly on social media and in the shittier right wing rags. What is happening is a sad story, not really a time for political point scoring and a gleeful haha.

what?

Just put him on a cargo ship

3 of the worst role models for kids. Tax evader, racist biter and drug addled sex pest

Fishing?

Would you then lose him for free or for tribunal compensation next summer?

Bit embarrassing for Barkley though, by new challenge I don't think he meant trying to stay up.

When you go to buy new jeans and they don't have 32L but you like them so much you get 32S anyway

Like Doumbia, lol. We need a number 10 now but we don't seem to ever be linked with one. First team looking like New Keeper Yedlin - Lejeune - Clark - Dummett Shelvey - Merino Murphy - ??????????? - Ritchie Gayle

Merino joins on loan with obligatory £6m purchase if he plays a certain amount of games. Samaris deal dead now.

I heard that he basically said we financially can't compete with the likes of Stoke City and will have to develop players ourselves.
