    The European soccer team I follow the most is Stoke City. I know it's a weird choice. but back in like 2008-09, the first EPL game I ever saw had Stoke City playing. I grew to love the name, the nickname "The Potters", and the fact that they are always in the middle of the table. They never get relegated and never finish in the top 6 spots to get into Euro tournaments. They are constant mediocrity. When they went to the FA Cup final in 2011, it was crazy.

    According to Marca, PSG and Monaco have agreed on a Mbappe transfer for 180mil.

    Absolutely disgusting if true, too bad UEFA is corrupt and won't ban them from competitions.

    Why is it disgusting?

    It would hurt if Real Madrid miss out on Mbappe, but big time players move where they want to move.

    I agree that UEFA will not ban PSG from competitions. They'll fine them and force them to sit out of a transfer market or two for violating FFP rules.

    PSG barely make any money and can only do this **** because of Qatar showering them with undeserved money, it isn't how this business should work.

    Financial Fair Play honestly is a complete joke, it doesn't make sense to have sponsors paying for everything while the club itself isn't generating money. The rule doesn't prevent shady business anyhow and disadvantages Clubs that are doing honest business.

    I dun think it is disgusting but rather dubious personal choices of the players.

    When a Neymar is saying he wants to win with PSG in the 5th best league without much competition league wise.....

    Mbappe says he wants to only play with Neymar and his other choice was another artificial club Man City......you have to question young player's mind and resolve in this.

    What a quick start

    Lacazette and Okazaki with two headers. Vardy strikes 2.

    Giroud Giroud Giroud and and I heart tank Kolasinac and Ramsey.

    Watching at work and was ready to break my computer when Ramsey scored and then Giroud closed the door. I love this squad but I hope the rest of the season is nothing like tonight, Gunners should've dominated what a way to start the season though
