    England is a foreign country for football purposes.

    [SCO] Scottish Premier league 2015/2016

    Meh. Gets spoken about now and then. They tried to get something like that going in the 1970s, but it never took off: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Scottish_Cup There's UEFA competition for playing teams from foreign countries, so it's not something I've any real interest in. And the...

    [SCO] Scottish Premier league 2015/2016

    Don't know about Sunday until we get the game on Thursday out of the way and can gauge mood and energy levels. Yeah, Locke did nothing to deserve that contract and his Hun select for this season looks terrible. I expect Hamilton to finish bottom, but I'd probably be predicting Kilmarnock for...

    [ITA] Serie A 2015/2016

    Man, those were a sweet few weeks. Can you imagine the bleating that would have been going on through the sale of Vidal had Badass been around? The forum owes me so much.

    Paul Pogba

    I somehow doubt he brought the subject up himself, though. Exciting times for rubbish teams like Dundee Utd and Partick, though. One signs the shit brother of Sneijder and the other signs the shit brother of Pogba. I wonder if they would have been signed if they didn't have those surnames...

    What reports suggested the deal was close?

    News that makes you say WTF!

    Anyway, as much as I'd like to criticise other countries, the allegations of paedo Prime Minister probably trumps a lot of other stuff: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-33770021

    News that makes you say WTF!

    Is that not because everyone accused of sex crimes in Sweden is allowed shelter in the Ecuadorian embassy in London?

    Summer mercato 2015

    Perhaps Cronios was hired as a consultant. I'm sure his input would quickly elevate Juve's spending up to at least 60m.

    [SCO] Scottish Premier league 2015/2016

    Because they were never interested in going to England and having to work their way up through the leagues. They were/are arrogant enough to belief they'd just be welcomed with open arms into the top division. But there hasn't been any word of moves to England for a long time, probably since...

    Summer mercato 2015

    There's basically nothing happening just now. Juve still want Draxler, but there's little sign of progress. Things have also gone quiet on the left back front.

    [Supercoppa] JUVENTUS 2-0 Lazio (August 8th, 2015)

    Yeah, I like the look of him. Technically sound, decent physical presence, composed. Nothing flashy, but could be a solid player for a long time.

    [Supercoppa] JUVENTUS 2-0 Lazio (August 8th, 2015)

    I think Cataldi was effectively 12th man. When any of the midfield was out or Radu or a centre-half was missing, Cataldi would be in the team, wither as a straight swap or with Lulic going back into defence. End result was that Cataldi did start most game, as I recall.

    [Supercoppa] JUVENTUS 2-0 Lazio (August 8th, 2015)

    Mauri is the only notable player they have lost. Other than that they have just cleared out some squad players of pretty limited value. Don't know anything much about any of their signings. But Lazio will be going in with a team that looks more similar to last year than Juve will, which...

    Sami Khedira

    It's certainly an inconvenient injury. Missing pre-season is always bad news and I imagine Juve's staff would have been (or at least should have been) looking to build up strength to reduce the chance of that injury re-occurring. Just sets plans back a little.

    Sami Khedira

    :disagree: He's out for two months (and Juve barely play for one of those months) - might as well tear up the four-year contract now.
