'the <colour> knights' for this week's group of drunken stockbrokers who fancy themselves as saviours of a distressed football is just the worst

the blind knights

Rangers' potential saviour The Blue Knights seems to be one guy - or at least there's only one guy prepared to give his name. I suppose being "The Blue Knights" sounds better than being "that guy Murray who was on the board that ran them into the ground".

honestly rly surprised this number is not higher due to the sheer volume of anti-mexico assholery on the internet

also he just scored a goal to put mexico up 2-1 after a lol-worthy non-clearance by bosnia in second half stoppage time, mexico wins

that should be "anti-mexico assholery on the internet from usa fans"

It's the very specific technical language that I like here. Nobody would ever 'make' a come-and-get-me plea.

More than I'd thought - but these are all from blogs, the actual press and their subs know what's what.

a woman in a burning building has issued a SENSATIONAL come-and-get-me-plea to the fire brigade as she looks to not DIE horrifically. west ham are also said to be interested.

That's superb. Can we hone that 419 down any further for the ultimate tabloid rumour?

uhm

Boy could the Canaries do with a bit of creativity as currently Wes Hoolahan is the only player with even a smidge of imagination between his ears at Carrow Road. They’ve managed the considerable coup of snaffling Ricky Van Wolfswinkle this summer; getting a in a few players who can pass to him might not be a terrible idea. Anthony ‘Pilko’ Pilkington doesn't seem to be quite up to the job if you ask me.

the other one is even more openly dismissive
