NAMING RIGHTS THREAD: Liverpool really won't win the Premiership 2010-2011

kolo toure news breaking. he failed a drugs test

a class substance

morelike coco toure (cocaine)

Only thing he'll ever have in common with Simon Mensing.

blow-blow toure

Right now would be a really good time for City to fall apart.

recent league record suggests its already happening (5 pts in 5 games i think?)

yeah that would be great

guys it's yayo toure

It's not coke, it's a dietary supplement.

Cheeseburgers, obv.

Tsk, the youth of today

Looking at the article, fairly sure Wee Eck thinks cyber-bullying is another word for email.

The Manchester City defender Kolo Touré failed a drugs test after taking a diet pill belonging to his wife, according to the Arsenal manager, Arsène Wenger.

Wenger has spoken with the former Arsenal captain since news broke of his positive test for a specified substance. "He wants to control his weight because that's where he has some problems and he took the product of his wife," the Frenchman said, before quipping: "Never trust your wife! That is how he was caught."

oh wenger, giving marital advice...

always liked k touré, seems like a good sort

and going by his recovery in form this season, wenger would have been better off dispatching gallas

Not only is she giving him dodgy pills, I bet she keeps feeding him as well. Never trust your wife.

as ever tho, the miserly alsatian will have envisaged the prospect of shifting a 300lb 32yr old touré from a long term contract and he will have thought, 'no, that won't do, it would thusly be seen that i would have been better off getting rid of the pissy former stamford bridge man and therefore will have been counselled to do so, some will say'

there is a third touré brother who was playing in the ukraine last time i checked

It would never have happened under Wenger, who surely would never have given Toure anything worse than the occasional Werther's Original.

yes leaving Wenger at the altar for a woman was a mistake

Hell hath no fury like an Alsatian scorned

But now we know how to get a smile and quip out of Arsene, tell him one of his former player's career is potentially in ruins

stephen ireland btw. Dude doesn't half burn bridges

Ireland should probably learn to STFU until such time as his career isn't rapidly going down the pan.

Ireland is said to have described Birmingham as a 'crap' city, and said he would rather shoot himself than live in Cork.

... and?

I liked the way he said he preferred Los Angeles to Cork. A valid comparison i think you'll agree. He's claiming he was misquoted now anyway.

John Galliano style video needed

all foreign managers rubbish
Trappatoni the most arrogant man he's ever met
Has better things to do than play for ireland
Economically, the country's reaping what it sowed
City are dull, mancini sacked everyone at the club and when he goes he'll take his 50 recruits with him

the sheer mendacity and self-servingness of these overpaid twats is unbelievable

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/news/8362953/Referee-Mark-Clattenburg-was-ready-to-walk-away-from-refereeing-over-Wayne-Rooney-incident.html

By 9pm, the incident was generating plenty of traffic on Twitter, a forum monitored by BBC Match of the Day staff.

this is what happens when you hire douglas hurd as a sub-editor

am I the only one who still isn't clear whether Clattenburg or one of the assistants saw the incident, and why the fuck he apparently made a decision based on asking Rooney what happened?

stop this electrocution of wayne rooney at once.

The snood to be banned. I'm outraged!! Clear footballers originally from hot climates discrimination in effect. Still good to see FIFA taking a stand on the important issues in football.

Now I see it is the International FA Board that is banning snoods. I am not aware of this organisation.

Birmingham/WBA achieving LFC in Europa Lge levels of tedium atm

aee shearer gettin all alpha male. "shnoods? naaaaaa, sorry, not for me".

*see

Cantona was immense on football focus I thought, bedecked in Cosmos regalia - hope he does go and make Cosmos the biggest thing in the world now, so he can confound Lawro & Shearer on a weekly basis

Oh well cyber-bullied, Baggies.

wigan win today (oh yes pleez) will make the bottom half dozen teams all pretty close together

ARSENAL HAVE THROWN AWAY THE SEASON AGAIN.

dude that better be sarcasm

It is.
