that I'd particularly be going after, as proving systemic doping in a club strikes me as more difficult to prove than in an individual.
I'd go after certain individuals who seemed most likely to be guilty and work from there.
And the first thing I'd like to see are the blood profiles of N'Golo Kante. If anyone in football is doping, it's that little permanently running dwarf c*nt.

I'd test Pogba - must be on something to make him look like a lethargic **** who has never seen a football before compared to the athlete who played for Juve. Probably test the idiots who paid 89 million for him as well - they must be smoking somethingQuote:

It could just be the nature of Italian football. Also why their players don't travel particularly well (obviously the Pog isn't actually one of theirs). In England, ordinarily we'd tell him to never take more than three touches, if possible, and forbid him from shooting; Supporters' Player of the Year, easy. If there's no decent forwards about anyway.Quote:

Do you remember when Vieira would sometimes just gallop through the midfield in that ridiculously exciting way?Quote:

Adams and Dixon allowing Giggs to run through them in '99. Adams looking like a donkey as Owen skinned him in the cup final. Bergkamp missing that penalty. They were great, but the difference between them and the team that could have won the league the year Eduardo got smashed was minimal.
We've all heard the stories, P ;-)Quote:

Small margins though, as you are fond of saying. That team would've still won the league at a canter *despite* losing Eduardo.Quote:

Yes, either of them. The point I'm failing miserably (as ever) to make is that if you lose the way *they* lost, you've always got a chance, whereas if you crumble the way the current lot crumbles, you've got absolutely no chance.Quote:
