Legend has it he still has time.He's got time to bring it down on his chest.

Last I heard he was selling insurance in Pennsylvania.Shout out to Ryerson at RB who I think would be a perfect foil for Porro for us. He's a very good player.
Of course whether he'd want to leave a guaranteed first choice spot at Dortmund to fight with Porro at Spurs is another matter.
They haven’t just been financially doping their first team is the reason behind this.City obviously, and rightly get a lot of flak for financial doping, but for their Academy to turn out 3 elite level players like Sancho, Foden and Palmer in such a short space of time is pretty impressive.
You mean paying the players top money, to attract the most likely to succeed. It’s never a guarantee of success, but it gives them a better chance I suppose.They haven’t just been financially doping their first team is the reason behind this.

Never had a PL team finish bottom of the CL group until Newcastle and United both decided to do it this year. Fundamentally unserious clubs.Coefficient in the mud, Dortmund's win means that extra CL spot is officially Germany's.
That and a particularly bad quarter finals showing. To have 5 clubs go into the stage across all 3 competitions and only 1 progress (in the naffest of the competitions) is shameful, considering how mighty the Premier League thinks it is.Never had a PL team finish bottom of the CL group until Newcastle and United both decided to do it this year. Fundamentally unserious clubs.
Not sure even that beats losing a must-win tie to a team with their manager in prison, tbf! It's very easy to fuck it all up.Never had a PL team finish bottom of the CL group until Newcastle and United both decided to do it this year. Fundamentally unserious clubs.
Not actually true, United finished bottom in a group with Villarreal, Benfica and Lille in 2005/6.Never had a PL team finish bottom of the CL group until Newcastle and United both decided to do it this year. Fundamentally unserious clubs.
The good ol' fat fingers. My apologies. It was both.@PerScoutDenmark are you implying it was neither a good first touch nor finish?
I had to smile when that group of death crap came out . Newcastle, a team who have won nothing since 1955. Not been in CL FOR 20 yrs. Dortmund whose claim to fame is second biggest team in Germany but hardly ever win anything or do anything in CL since Final in 2013. Milan, but a shadow of their former selves who sign Chelsea cast offs. PSG more money than sense but never won a European trophy,Not actually true, United finished bottom in a group with Villarreal, Benfica and Lille in 2005/6.
But of course the timing to repeat that this year was impeccable.
Newcastle I'd cut some slack there, they got a ridiculous group, it was so tight and they were unlucky with especially that penalty against them in Paris which should not have been given.
