The Court of Arbitrary Arbitration - Random Facts, Thoughts, Etc.

After Pool won the CL this past weekend, they have tied United as the most decorated clubs in England with 42 major trophies each (Arsenal still a distant 3rd with 30).
For Manchester United: 20 league titles, 12 FA Cups, 5 League Cups, 3 European Cups, 2 other European Cups (1 Europa League and 1 Cup Winners' Cup).
As far as Pool are concerned: 18 league titles, 7 FA Cups, 8 League Cups, 6 European Cups and three other European trophies (3 UEFA Cups).
Sobering thought considering where both teams are currently headed at this time...

 

Raiola is free to do business after his ban has been suspended.

It's from the DM, so there's that, but it's sad to say this is no surprise, if true. I had a feeling that something like that was bound to happen after the reason he had been suspended in the first place, had never been made public (was supposed to be revealed the week after his ban had been announced).
The more things change in football, the more they stay the same and the big whales who cheat, will never get punished (or at the very least work something out in their favor).

 

I'm sure the pay off will be paid back by 10 fold by the incoming De Ligt deal.

 

I spent 21 years being a supporter of @ManUtd all the way from India, France, Singapore, Hong Kong. This year I moved to Manchester. Today, I received my first season ticket and my apartment even has a view of Old Trafford.

Pays more than ever to be a top level athlete.

 

Mino Raiola’s worldwide suspension stayed until early July by the Court of Arbitration for Sport following an appeal. The agent of Paul Pogba and Matthijs de Ligt remains under suspension in Italy.https://t.co/cHPRLGerUV pic.twitter.com/gEEVXCnp5o

Apparently working on having his ban suspended in Italy as well.

 

The riches will always find a way to bend the laws in their favour ..

 

Raiola has his still unexplained ban suspended in Italy as well, meaning it's been 100% lifted worldwide for the time being.

Manchester United’s ‘culture’ is overrated. Busby and Ferguson swam against the tide

Who was our best penalty taker? Was it CR7? Or Beckham maybe?

It's the 92nd minute in the Champions League final. The score is 0-0 and your team has a penalty.

You can pick any player in your club’s history to take the penalty. Who is it? 🤔 pic.twitter.com/PmohNNjvXQ

Contana..

 

Irwin!

 

Unsurprisingly, we used to have some legit Pk takers, commensurate with the quality of players we had back then.

Beck was not a great pk taker

 

Adil Rami and Pamela Anderson have broken and it looks like a messy one.
