Andrei Kanchelskis??

That's fine, but how is "the time" decided? People cheat all the time, they don't get banned for 4 years. A quick google search seems to suggest that Pogba's punishment is significantly longer than any previous high profile doping ban in football. Is his crime worse somehow or is he being made...

Regardless of his qualities as a footballer, 4 years is an incredibly harsh punishment

Interested to know what you think "everyone knows about nitrogen inhalation"? I work in the gases industry, and it is well known that breathing a 100% nitrogen atmosphere will lead to loss of consciousness very quickly, after as little as 2 breaths. In incidents where people have survived, they...

This is the first season in a long long time where there doesn't seem any possibility of changing divisions*. In the football league we always seemed to be going either up or down, or nearly missing either way, and since getting into the top flight the spectre of relegation has been a constant...

It's just like watching...er...Argentina

11/12 here, another whe got the Dunk yellows question wrong (for some reason I was very confident with my incorrect guess)

Don't get me wrong, RDZ has been amazing, but Real Madrid? Really?? I just can't see that they'd take a risk on someone, for all his obvious brilliance, whose main achievements so far have been to get unfashionable clubs punching above their weight (albeit while also playing fabulous football)...

5live mentioned this last night; apparently, in Italy, it's a mandatory 3 year ban if found guilty, hence the players willingness to hold their hands up and negotiate a shorter suspension

Could be set by tribunal, or even just set a flat fee at the beginning of any season, so no possibility of a bidding war, maybe?

Not quite, but we did have a Florent (Chaigneau) very briefly

This is my take too. He was a very good keeper, we were all delighted by his ability to command his area and claim crosses when he first came in for Ryan. He was good with his feet (for a goalkeeper!), just not quite up to the extreme standard needed to play the De Zerbi way. He probably could...

Have to weigh it or I end up with twice as much as I can eat. Usually go about 90g

Why would they bid £80m though, knowing we've already rejected that from Chelsea?

I'm sure their fans are furious at the idea of developing one of our young players for us...
