Jesse Lingard is rejuvenated and is putting in Messi-esque contributions. Top goal and build ups to goals vs Wolves.

I relly cyah believe you mention Lingard and Messi in de same sentence.

To be fair he used the hyphenated "esque".

True, I should've compared him to Craig Burnley.

Kun, Kun, Kun. Tsk, Tsk, Tsk. Leave Zidane moments for Zidane.

Timo Werner must have spent a few weeks of offside training at the Jamille Boatswain School.

[Peong]

Aguero helping Man City make the decision in the off-season.  I like how Mendy catch it with one hand.

[lefty]

Timo Werner must have spent a few weeks of offside training at the Jamille Boatswain School.

nah he eh boatswain bad, misreading d line and mis-timing yuh runs is one ting, but appearing to not even be aware dat offside is ah actual ting to d point of annoying yuh teammates so bad dat dey literally get vex and shout at yuh like yuh is ah unruly child is ah whole other ting

[Deeks]

Ok, Ok, the Blue side of Manchester are the champions.

[asylumseeker]

Another frenetic last day. Excitement down to the last whistles. Serie A potentially will offer more of the same.

Mason Greenwood's career could be in jeopardy before it really had the chance to take off....let's see how this plays out.

[Deeks]

This is really sad. It never stops. And it could be anywhere in the world. About 10 or 15 years ago when DC United was on top in the MLS, there was a very good Salvadoran player who got caught up in a very similar situation like this. I don't think he was found guilty but his career went south after that.  I am not sure what really happened but this is a lesson for all those athletes, rappers or young "millionaires" , don't let your dick dictate your brain.

Since the pandemic started, there have been many cases of football figures facing the courts or being roped into intrigues (in England, Europe and beyond). From Mendy to the PSG women to Zseremeta to Paul Riley to Hubert Busby to Avram Grant to Botezatu to the Miami FC player to the Orlando City player to Sidy Sarr (Ligue 2).

Avram Grant is breaking news.

What a final day. Decided to view Manchester City vs Villa and it did not fail to entertain. Could have chosen one of the other matches - especially the Spurs match, but settled on watching the league's consensus best team. The highlight might have been Pep retreating to the dressing room for privacy.

A word on Arteta:  a lil more flexibility might have seen him secure the points that he was desperate to secure, but I empathize with him. In the end it took two managers to accumulate the points that condemned him to the Europa League.
