Manchester United's £85 million captain has been arrested for fighting police on the Greek island, Mykonos.
Local sources say there is a massive problem in his defence.

my main takeaway is that the fucking Europeans are on holidays!!!
He can go to Greece and I can't even go to fucking Sydney!!

Will anyone be organising a Fantasy Premier League competition this year? Haven't had one for a few years after Hurrycanes stifled all interest thanks to winning three or four years in a row.
Not me, not enough hours in the day already. For over 25 years I've been running the TSL (Top Scorer's League) where you pick a team and get a point for every goal your players score. @Hurrycanes has been in it for years and others such as @dogmeat @Hooroo @Virgil have dabbled in it. New players always welcome from any of this thread - you pick a team with a budget and you can make transfers monthly - it's fairly simple and doesn't require constant attention.

Not a bad final this morning (although I had to stop watching just after the goal) - not quite the rollicking game we hoped for as both sides were fairly cautious in their approach. Bayern deserved winners as the best team through the season.
First team to win every game of the CL, they said at the end. That is remarkable.

Played 11, Won 11, Goals for 43, Goals against 8.
Goals against teams from London: 17 in 4 games.

Bayern Munich were deserved winners. Not as spectacular as their humiliation of Barcelona but still effective.
75% of the club is owned by the fans. Most of the rest by Adidas, Audi and Allianz.
They are certainly no rich man's plaything
come on. They are the 4th highest club in Europe in terms of Revenue. Lets not get all "one for the little guys" here.
Most importantly, their revenue is twice that of the next highest Club in Germany, hence their ability to hoover talent.

Do they have a rich Arab or Russian pouring money into the club in the form of suspicious personal loans or outlandish income derived from state owned airlines linked to the club's owners?

fuck, they are doing well to still be getting money out of him
i find the pissing contests about where European football clubs get their money to be pretty funny.
The amounts are obscene, and in most cases, the ones able to generate huge revenues are only able to because they were lucky enough to be succesful when international support exploded in the late 90s. And by fuck haven't those clubs done all they can to ring fence themselves and ensure no one else ever gets a seat at the top table.

@mariner4life probably need a super rich owner just to break through

definitely do. And even then it's no guarantee.
