Poor Hero's team, they go from playing 7 a side in their U14s leagues to having to play on a big boy's pitch against Ronaldo and Suarez

Yeah but if you believe Hero (and his Squawka links) Ronaldo and Suarez are the ones you should have sympathy for

Yeah because I only had Suarez at the top of my striker list the other day...

We must be careful though as the rate of the pound is falling

Are we allowed to sign lawyered players then Marky?

Trebs wrote:We must be careful though as the rate of the pound is falling

Good point. If TM.com take account of that, the markup between purchase price and lawyers price will drop.

That's all that stands between Marky and (season 2) world domination.

So Marky, you get a week with lawyers for Ronaldo and Suarez. What's your next move?

Consider selling Ronaldo for over £100m and consider buying two £50m players who would make my team stronger overall.

I'd never ever sign Suarez.

I rejected PiNEAPPLE OFFER of Montolivo for Suarez

Kimmich making Pogba his bitch there.

Would you say Suarez has been better than Messi and Ronaldo last 2 years?

Hero what do you think of the Real Madrid youth striker borja mayoral

Great potential, tricky one though for Real with their options, imagine he'll be loaned out for the next couple of seasons to lower La Liga clubs or to a Portugese club.

Arsenal unlucky to not get anything from tonight's performance. Flamini is Poopie!

Gotta take your chances against this Barca side.

Oxlade Chamberlain the main culprit

Mixed night for my players, Kimmich looked outstanding but it was his error that let Juve back into the game, Dybala was Juve's main threat and deserved his goal. Coman unused as sub.

Flamini has been worse than Robbie Savage all season, quite why Wenger continues to pick him and not ANY kid from the U21s squad is beyond me. Glad to see them lose though, they're far too big a club to let that lunatic continue with a threadbare squad of knackered old horses.

Get Simeone in, give him £300m, win trophies that matter (not FA Cups).

What do you guys think of Conte, the potential new Chelsea manager? He's currently the Italy coach.

Anybody looking for a manager this summer should be bending over backwards for Simeone as Azzy points out re: Arsenal

Clearly the best manager about that is 'gettable' at the moment

I don't see why anybody would want the Chelsea job. Roman backs the players over the manager everytime.

Britain's coming home

Better player than he is a manager. But I like him, he's like Deschamps in that he'll never be an elite manager, just a very good one.

Is that Boris on the right?

Anyone got the new nintendo 3ds?

No, I'm not 12.

Viva's probably decided to trade his Android in for one now that Nick isn't about to teach him how to turn it on.

GSC wrote:No, I'm not 12.

I didn't know there was an age restriction on gaming.

Don't know why you find that funny when you met up with guys from all over the country discussing your pretend Wrestling games.

Now is probably not the right time to tell you that I own one then GSC!

Spoiler - I actually do own one.

Saying that though I haven't played it for ages.

Touché.

Wrong audience for that comment though!!!

Well played Viva

Guys FYI, will be at the hospital tomorrow with the wife. Baby is sideways at nearly 37 weeks so we're having a scan to see what they can do. Might be that this time tomorrow I'm a dad again. I'll let you know xx

Hope all goes well!

Aye. Apparently the midwife should have realised ten weeks ago. Now baby is so big they may not be able to turn her round, so it might have to be an early c-section. If my wife's waters broke now, the baby would have minutes to live as the umbilical cord would descend first. It's quite harrowing to think about.

Good Luck Azzy

Fingers crossed

All the best bud

Yeah I hope it all goes okay mate.

God speed Azzy

Renato Sanches up from 600k to 7.5m

Boom!

You paid £5m

My 5 year old daughter has one, I've played it a few times, it's pretty good in 3D mode although does your eyes in after a while. Mario Kart 7 is decent.

Hope all goes well Azzy

Knowing he was worth at least it, and now proven correct. I get a lawyer on him now and I'm basically doubling my money.

Stay strong azzy

My boy Felix Passlack has gone up to 375k. Not bad considering I paid zilch fir him #everylittlehelps

Please be true: http://en.as.com/en/2016/02/24/football/1456315332_543762.html

All the best Azzy.

Cheers Marky, I've ordered one.
