City really should be under investigation for this Lampard thing. It's extraordinarily shady.

They have that much money?
They can sell, so I'm sure they can loan as well.

Not bad.
Has Wolfsburg an investor? Where do they get all the money from?

Wait till tomorrow after the game.

Ever heard of this car brand called Volkswagen? They're pretty big.

It kind of sucks for their youth players that were banned. Their development is getting fucked. I understand Barca getting punished, but I don't see how the kids being banned is right.
What do you mean by that? Some of their youth players are banned from playing matches now?

These Steve Bruce quotes on Ched Evans
Bloke's obviously entitled to air his opinion but questioning the jury and suggesting the evidence points to Evans being innocent...
Also suggests 3 extremely experienced Court of Appeal judges were wrong too.

Do we know why the other bloke wasn't charged?

There was a woman on Question Time saying the same, that she wouldn't have convicted him based on the evidence, citing factors that the girl can't remember any of it to say conclusively whether it was rape or not, plus the fact that the first man to have sex with her before Evans was cleared of the charge yet Evans was not.
Edit - The woman on the panel was Julia Hartley-Brewer.

I think/assume it's because he met the woman in question earlier in the night whereas Evans lied to get himself into the hotel room.
he should of been a United legend, fucking senile Fergie.

You are both mistaken I think?
After Tevez left...someone else took over the 32 number for a time
Unless Jarnet was referring to Diouf...in that case...carry on

Both were charged but he wasn't found guilty.
On the facts the jury believed she had consented to having sex with him but not Ched who she had never even met before. She had been out during the evening with the first guy and seems as though she agreed to go to the hotel with him etc. Ched then turned up at like 4am for sloppy unconsensual seconds.

An expert gave evidence at tial saying that with the amount of alcohol she consumked she would have been at the level where slurred speech and unsteady gait were likely but seriously doubted memory loss would have occurred. This was key evidence at trial.
She didn't even read the fucking judgment before commenting.
It's fucking hysterical, so I'll allow it.

Disgusting from lampard to treat the fans of NYCFC like he has.

Oh Diouf, just another one of Senile Fergies countless fails at signing young attacking players in his final years. Diouf, Manucho, Obertan, Macheda, Tosic, Bebe. I thik Tosic might be the only one who turned into a decent player.
Some of these clowns managed to get more caps then Paul Pogba during their time at United.
I'm just playing devil's advocate to a degree here, but if that was the case, why would she claim to have no memory of what occurred at all?
It's only with all the furore of late I've given the actual case any attention so I'm not that clued up on what transpired in court.

They've already bought season tickets aswell, just to see him.
Also heard that they're from the poorer parts of Manhattan. Sad really.

It's been happening for at least a year. For example, Takefusa Kubo is 13 years old and won't be able to play official matches until 2019. I think he's going back to Japan permanently.
Lee Seung Woo hasn't been able to play for a year. That has hurt his development and he still can't play official matches. He only takes part in training and unofficial games. Oh, he also plays for the Korean youth team. Next year he can start playing when he turns 18 and is eligible for a contract.
On one hand it punishes Barca for their youth business, which is absolutely fine, but it also hurts those players.

Saw a bloke in a Liam Miller shirt this morning.
Well, an old United shirt with Miller on the back.

Vincent Tan is my favourite chairman. I want him back in the PL but unfortunately I don't want Cardiff back in the PL so UNLUCKY VINCENT, MATE.

Truly do not know. Tbf the expert's evidence assists Ched's argument but other factors in the case led the jury to convict.
However, that woman beats her own argument because if she were drunk enough to not even recall what happened then that would only strengthen the victim's case that she was too drunk to consent at all (which might be why she argued a such).
Changing your mind is potentially worse than lying...? *Mitt Romney joke here*
Lovren is fit for tomorrow.
I can't believe how bad he's been. I remember watching the Spurs game in August, and he played with very little composure - racing over to Sakho's position, challenging him for a header, making them both lose out, making Spurs one-on-one with Mignolet sticks in the mind - and I thought, "Oh, he'll be great when he beds and composes himself." But he's got worse. Lovren and Balotelli in the one window, I can't.
