Can Leicester City really win the Premiership 2016-17?

Probably but this is Big Clubbism gone mad when you consider the two Milan clubs are in decline (much like one or two World's Biggest Clubs I could make). Roma are much closer to winning the league than they are right now.

re AC the biggest:

I was going to say, cos Turin is like eg Swindon?, but looked up population and in fact it's vastly bigger than most English cities including Manchester.

As is Verona. Crikey!

It's a personal impression based on being, well, impressionable during the early 90s.

In fact if I were comparable to any one player I like to think I've got a knack for the Papin volley

From this remarkably minimal / stub list

Roma seem to me the 4th biggest club.

Juve have always been the biggest club within Italy

Even if both Milan clubs have done better in Europe

i was wrong... so wrong... pep 2.0 ('ave it u english scum edition) is going to be great. now we know why big sam retired

I mean I don't really be able to look at other teams and whatnot now but is Jesus Navas on a free at 31 not pretty tempting

Well you're only going to get two seasons out of Jesus at that age

lol @ the torino chairman

“Hart made a few mistakes, especially when coming out for the ball,” Cairo said. “He is an important goalkeeper. We probably didn’t expect so many mistakes from an England international… but he did some good things, too.”

XP lazy but serviceable

You can never discount a surprise return to form though

Tuchel has been sacked...

2 more years of Wengerball lol

timing!

I for one applaud this decision

Liverpool signing a Chelsea player who's an England under 20 international is unconventional

Aubameyang going to PSG for €70m

i...was not expecting that

Same. How would that work? In his first year without Zlatan at PSG, Cavani has had a great season (49 goals in 50 games!). Auba would be of value to any top club, but I'd say PSG prob need him the least.

Reports that Cheick Tiote has died in China.

confirmed it seems, just 30yo
rip sad news indeded

dang

Puel out. Silva must be stabbing holes in his Watford contract in frustration.

Southampton have finally got tired of Liverpool using them as unofficial feeder club.

au revoir gigantic monkey hands man

how is 8th a bad season for southampton?

bro told me at the end of last season that the players didn't like him

i imagine shane long leading a revolt

Also the fans seem to hate the football they've been playing under him.

la de daa

sounds like some fans need a relegation

Southampton have finally got tired of Liverpool using them as unofficial feeder club.

How do you think I feel, Celtic are Southampton's unoffficial feeder club.

they'll get 10 per cent of the 600 million liverpool end up paying for van dijk i think

Discussing his situation, Nolito revealed he has struggled to learn English during his one year at the Etihad Stadium and claimed his daughter’s face was a different colour now than it was when he arrived due to the cold conditions in the country.

“I have learnt very, very little English – it’s very hard. Just ‘tomorrow’, ‘good morning’, ‘good afternoon’ and a little more,” he told Onda Cero. “My daughter’s face has changed colour – it looks like she’s been living in a cave.”

Very encouraging words from Toby.

lol

Really bad situation, I dunno if the hype about VVD is merited but he seems better than taking a punt on whoever the fuck else we have lined up. Assume Liverpool had to make that statement to avoid getting formally reported or something.

This is both deeply disappointing and massively embarrassing. Was gonna be the nice bit of good news that got me through the inevitable disappointment of the next couple of days. Wake me up when it's August

I read earlier that Southampton are still formally reporting them.

Jesus. Feels like such a "liverpool" thing to happen tbh

Oh look for the first time in premier league history a player has chosen Liverpool over Chelsea or Man City, well guess what

otm -- i thought it was a good, if expensive, "get" but at least it was a "get"

Diego #Costa after Spain-Colombia: "Conte has sent me a message to tell me I am not in his plans for #Chelsea"

That is completely embarrassing. VvD wanted to go to Liverpool, too, liking Klopp and all, I gather from Dutch media. What a way to blow it.
