@Jamorushton 2014 - 2022 was a nice way to show off the cultures of the different nations hosting whilst keeping a unified identity. 2026 would be brilliant without the trophy
2023 and 2025 we had unbelievable runs of form at the end of the season? we took our foot off the gas in 2026 because there was literally no reason to try in the league given how good our start was
The Unai Emery cycle of talk is one of the most boring in all of football.
Starts a season well, everyone and their dog talking about how "underrated" and good he is without fail by December.
Then his team hits a run of horrific form, suddenly people go quiet for months.
@MrWayneGarton it would be yeah, but the vast majority of them donโt even attempt to but tickets every week, and a sizable portion wonโt purchase the season ticket once their chance comes around
@MrWayneGarton thatโs to incentivise people to buy season tickets and to attempt to capture the kind of fan who spends ยฃ200 in the club shop when they visit
๐จ Manchester City are considering activating their buy-back option for Morgan Rogers as interest in the Aston Villa star continues to grow.
Arsenal and Chelsea remain firmly in the race, but City have the advantage of a clause that could allow them to re-sign the England international.
Villa are determined to keep Rogers, though any deal is expected to require a fee of at least ยฃ80M, with some reports suggesting it could rise beyond ยฃ100M.
