Leeds want Che Adams. Fucking kill me.

Meanwhile there’s a striker in the championship that plays for Swansea that I would rather get.

Joel Piroe is the truth. I’d love for him to stay long term. If he keeps up his performance from last year, short of promotion, I’m not sure how he stays long term especially if Swansea gets an unbelievable offer for him.

Our newspapers are full of articles about how great the women's Euro Cup was and what the men's football could learn from them like how tactical the games have been and I have lost all faith in humanity now.

Excellent. Germany's mens team will be out of the World Cup. Now we just need France, Belgium, Spain and Portugal to collapse. Then there will be no one stopping the inevitable USA march to World Cup glory!!!
 
“One or two? Fantastic, you are being really positive. I don't want to speak too much on the situation, but we only have 16 senior players in the squad that have played at this level.” Fulham boss Marco Silva direct comments on how ongoing transfer negations are being handled for him by money mark Khan. Full confrence included in the video embed


So that's Fulham and Everton struggling to sign talent and Forest with an entire rebuild with next to no pre-season time together. Bournemouth might be the only pragmatic team promoted when it comes to the Summer window, having managed to sign three names for the grand total of £10mil.

This just means September 1st and the days leading up to it will be magical. I can't wait to see the shitshow surrounding it. My only ask is that some moment on that night tops the Odemwingie interview at QPR parking lot before finding out he isn't moving there

You'd think Fulham would be at the forefront of the transfers, considering West London is a highly desirable area for talent to move to. But Khan gonna do Khan things.

Megan Rapinoe thoroughly owned. Now she can go back to taking penalties and turning the ball over against the Panama womens national team and thinking she is a world beater because of it

I mean, Chelsea's west london too and much more appealing as a club, and they're struggling on transfers too

Impressive how that greek drug dealer has sold Nottingham as a good place to be, now that's a shithole
 
Cesc Fabrigas has apparently joined Serie B side Como. Didn't really understand the move until I saw that the town of Como is in Northern Italy near the Swiss border. So probably touring for vacation homes once he retires


Edit (might as well get some other news in here)

Jota signed a new 5 year deal with Liverpool. Probably going to use him, Nunes, and Diaz as the front 3 once Firmino and Salah are pushed out
Aaron Ramsey has made a shock move and signed for Nice in France.
Tottenham Hotspurs defender Joe Rodon, who was signed from Swansea in 2020, has been loaned out to Rennes with an option to buy


Rumor time
Leicester apparently named a 60 mil price for Maddison at Newcastle. Should be interesting to see this play out. Schmeichel is also reportedly signing for Nice. If true, Leicester are fucked
Liepzig and Juve are in a race to sign Werner from Chelsea as Tuchel prefers to play with defensive mids as stikers
Tom Huddlestone is apparently in talks with United over becoming a player-manager with the Under 21s side
Napoli potentially taking Arrizabalaga on loan from Chelsea
Batshuayi has apparently realized its a world cup year and decided that a move to Everton might make sense if he gets playing time so he could sneak his way onto the Belgian squad
Bernd Leno is apparently joining Fulham from Arsenal for 8 mil
Fulham and Bournemouth are looking to sign Nat Phillips from Liverpool who is priced at 10 mil
Arsenal loaned out their 21 year old striker Balogun to Reims
And Alexis Sanchez terminated his Inter Milan contract. Rumor is that he is going to Marseille

Last weekend we had the first round in our national cup tournament DFB-Pokal. Every year you can expect some higher ranked teams to disgrace themselves against teams of our 3rd Divisions or even lower classed teams.

This year's fools are:
1) Greuther Fürth lost to Stuttgarter Kickers 0:2
Last season Fürth played Bundesliga but they played one of the worst seasons a Bundesliga team ever had. So they got relegated to 2. Bundesliga again. The Kickers play in Oberliga, that's one of our 4th 5th level divisons. In our 4th level division half of the teams are amateurs team.
EDIT: Oberliga is tier 5, not tier 4. Officially the Oberliga is a non-professional league. So officially all the teams there are amateurs. But there are teams who have a past as professional teams. Like Stuttgarter Kickers who played during the 70s and 80s in 2. Bundesliga and also made it to 1. Bundesliga once during the 90s. We have more than just one Oberliga. Stuttgarter Kickers play in Oberliga Baden-Württemberg.

2) Hansa Rostock (2nd Division) lost to VFB Lübeck (3rd Division) 0:1
Last season Lübeck got relegated to 4th division. Our 2nd division started 2 weeks ago while the 3rd division hasn't even started.

3) 1. FC Cologne lost to Jahn Regensburg in penalty shoot out 3:4
Last season Cologne placed 7th in Bundesliga thus getting a chance to qualify for this seasons Conference League.
Jahn Regensburgs plays 2. division and are leading the table after two matchdays.

4.) Maybe the most shocking result: Bayer Leverkusen lost against 4th Division team SV Elversberg 3:4 in regular game time.
Last season Leverkusen placed 3rd and qualified for Champions League. They are regularly among the first 4 Bundesliga teams. But they got dominated by Elversberg and had no chance.

And then there is the mockery of a football team: Hertha BSC Berlin.
They played against Eintracht Braunschweig who are back in 2nd Bundesliga again. During the summer break Hertha kicked out their long time president and voted a new one. Their investor got his shit together and stopped trash talking Hertha. Everyone was optimistic. "This season everything will be better" they said. Until Sunday when Hertha lost against Braunschweig 6:5 after penalties.
Now you may say "It's penalties. It's hit or miss. A 50:50 chance" and I would agree but the game shouldn't even had come to penalties. Hertha is still a Bundesliga team. After 45min they were leading 2:0 but after 90 minutes it was 2:2. Braunschweig even scored a 3rd goal! Then Hertha came back an scored two goals. Their were leading 4:3 in extra time. But Hertha was doing Herthathings again and Braunschweig scored the 4:4 in the last moments of the extra time.

Spurs fans,
That extra inch podcast seems like the biggest group of sjws and hipsters. Didn’t that Windy guy try to ruin Gattuso’s career and get Luca Moura cancelled?

Love the DFB Pokal just making no sense with the games. Its probably the only cup competition out there that still does it. Just a correction and power leveling a little, Oberliga is normally a fifth division in spots. Regionalliga is the fourth division but that doesn't make Furth's loss any less funny. Probably makes it moreso.

I watched a 2 minute clip of their podcast and would never watch another second. So boring, uninteresting, and tactically dumb from the clip. And the soy filled cucks on my screen looked so uninterested. Why would you clip that?

Ah, shit. Fucked that up. You are right and Oberliga is of course tier 5 in our league pyramid.

1. Bundesliga, 2. Bundesliga and 3. Liga are our professional leagues, Regionalliga and below is non-professional.
3. Liga was installed I think around 2010 as replacement of Regionalliga which became tier 4 then.

I don't know exactly when 3. Liga was made but it did go with Bundesliga then Regionalliga for a while. Then they made 2. Bundesliga with Regionalliga the third division before 3. Liga was created. What's more embarrassing for Furth is that Regionalliga is split into 5 regions so those 4th division teams might be lower in the table if it was a national league. Oberliga usually splits up a Regionalliga section into 2 so its even lower than the stated 5th division designation. All the funnier that Furth lost to Stuttgart Kickers
