just go away, will you

how foreign does he consider ashley young to be

about 3000 miles away from the united first xi tbh

ferguson being an evasive old fuck who knew

It's shit copy is what it is. I'd like to put Ferguson in some menial role, like junior mechanic at Kwik Fit or something, and see how much attention his lame craic commands then.

jol out, bobby z in

Terry's report is out. It's more straightforward, and a bit more boring, than the Suarez one, but there are a couple of interesting points:

• the Sanchez incident, specifically the hit to his credibility in giving a bollocks explanation and having to retract it quickly, has been used against him;
• Ashley's been done up like a kipper, it looks like Chelsea have leaned heavily on him to beef up his support of the big man;
• there are various bits of mitigation, but it looks like the main one and reason for the lighter ban is that the incident was kicked off in the first place by Anton Ferdinand giving him the verbals.

Not too sure about the panel thinking they have the right to declare that john terry is not a racist. Is that something they should even be considering?

Lol One of the chapters entitled 'The Evolution of Ashley Cole's Evidence'

not that kind of racist

they were quite keen to emphasise that Suarez wasn't a racist also

Can't even spell Paddy Kenny's name right. Shoddy.

Btw I kinda hate that 'charitable' works are counted in mitigation. wtf has that got to do with anything?

standard enough tbh, tho no surprise they declined to note thst the accused came from a good home.

Ashley Cole ‏@TheRealAC3
Hahahahaa, well done #fa I lied did I, #BUNCHOFTWATS

is that his real one? that looks suspiciously like contempt

it's a verified account

not that it's surprising when players are trained to get in referee's faces and challenge every fucking call that they have similar issues with quasi-judicial process

We played really good football at times - it was interesting to play Rooney, Chicharito and van Persie together. It gives me some thoughts and options for certain games. Hopefully I'll pick the right team."

I'm pretty sure he picks it out of a hat these days

and there's ten Giggs in there

is that his real one? that looks suspiciously like contempt

is it possible to be held in contempt of a kangaroo court?

I like how Sralix says "Chicharito" - like it really sticks in his throat to use a stupid made-up foreign name.

Oh Ashley. Misadvised twice in one day.

Aw, what a good lad

I think that's a borderline red card there. Terrible 'tackle'.

Great free kick Kolarov

not sure about these new mint boots everyone's sporting

wow should have scored, good save.

sunderland have been okay in possession but look like they'll give up 3 or 4 excellent chances this game.

classy stuff Mario

gardner is a thug

decent chance one of them won't complete 90 mins

oh please please please please let shearer & venkys happen

I doubt he'd risk sullying his record (though he's flattered to be linked)

ah yes wba 1-0

great breakaway tbf, peach of a cross from long nutted in by morrison

is houillet playing?

non monsieur e iz not

another muddled selection from hughes, mbia into midfield is correct but not at expense of faurlin, still with the swp, and i'm not sure about starting adel here either

Holt. Sweet finish

Has he tried mbia/faurlin double pivot yet?

xp

Chelsea to win 4-1, but lol anyway.

And Jelavic delivers again. Best finisher in the league?
