Everton fired Sean Dyche. Dude was set up to fail when they hired him, he knew he was hired to fail, and still took the job. Everton are in a relegation scrap and don't look like they will pick up any points until February 1st when they play Leicester but I didn't think they would pick up any points in their last 5 games and he got them a point against each of Arsenal, Chelsea, and Man City. I think the loss against Bournemouth hurts but he was never going to survive into next season

Sacking a manager hours before a game is weird, that combined with the statement from Everton not thanking him for his work makes me think something happened behind the scenes.

Looks like a Moyes return is on the cards
 
Kvaratskhelia to PSG for 80m as a verbal agreement
Man Utd are screwed if they're forced to keep Rashford and/or Casemiro. 2 players on huge wages that aren't playing. There is a good chance they stay where they are (out of Europe) until Summer and then won't have the PSR cap for the wages and transfer fees they already owe so will be forced to sell players at a cut fee. It's a miracle they are still afloat with almost every player they've bought over the past 5 years has been sold for a huge loss or is still on the team and not good enough. £70 million and £350,000 a week for a player 2 years ago that now is too slow and can't get a game. £40 million on a young striker that wants to leave 3 months later. Any other club would get relegated making these huge mistakes, I feel so bad for the smaller clubs at the bottom of the table that can't make any mistakes while a club that makes mistake after mistake every season can still be outside relegation.

Tottenham are also screwed if they don't get Europe, look at their past 3 years net spend which is at least 300 million. Their current group needs upgrades and yet they've already spent so much.

At least , Man utd screw ups get punished by the league with them finishing P10

In France, PSG can fuck p chain and the worst that can happen iis a P3 with 2 team doing Legendary season only for those team to get scavenged by every team in europe

United are about to feel the punishment of all these terrible decisions for over a decade. Spurs didn't have the financial power that United did so they are also in a difficult spot


Allegedly Dortmund wants Rashford.
United will still be paying his wages though
 
So who do you all think is the Premier League 'ace' arrested for sex tapes?
Questioned but since released with no further action taken apparently.

The article also says they're an international player, they're in their 20s and he could start in their team's third round FA Cup match this weekend. Such vague clues to even pinpoint anyone.
He subsequently returned to training on Thursday and could feature in his side's FA Cup third round fixture this weekend.

If there was any more reason to hate Reddit it looks like the reddit jannies on /r/soccer got scared of a witchunt and removed all comments discussing it.

According to an account that posted about the Mudryk doping story before it made the news, the sex tape player is Malo Gusto of Chelsea. I think this was also posted before the news broke.

Arsenal just had a howler of a game against Manchester United.
  • 70% possession against United
  • 26 total shots compared to United's 7 total shots
  • 22 shots inside the box for Arsenal
  • 24 free kicks and 12 corner kicks for Arsenal
  • 55 touches for Arsenal in the penalty area
  • 6 yellow cards given out to United
  • A red card given to Dalot to make it 10 v 11 in favour of Arsenal
  • Most refereeing decisions going the way of Arsenal
  • A penalty awarded to Arsenal which is saved by Altay Bayindir (United's second-choice keeper)
  • Given extra time and penalties against 10 men and Havertz has his penalty saved by Bayindir to then lose 5-3 on penalties

It's like they're allergic to silverware at this point.
Also, how Havertz is still being paid to be a striker for a living is astonishing.

Proof these ratings mean nothing, worst performance ever by a striker. Missed at least 3 open goals/easy chances, dived for a penalty then gave it up to Odegaard who missed the penalty, missed his own penalty in the shootout while all his teammates scored. The only thing he did all game was a tame header straight at the keeper.

If he was a defender it would be a 2.0 rating.
 
The highest court in Germany, the Bundesverfassungsgericht, has ruled that the states can indeed bill the football clubs for the costs of so called high risk matches.
This legal dispute lasted for 10 years now and started when the state of Bremen said fuck it and billed the club Werder Bremen the costs for police forces being used during a match between Werder Bremen and Hamburger SV.
