Moneyball won't win the Premiership 2012-13

gonna pick up the ginger minime brother and jam some before bed

Yeah previously it was mostly Everton and Fulham it seemed. My thinking is aligned with IK's in that these guys already kinda play for the love being over here, but they definitely have some talent that could be expanded upon. Zusi and Alonso were named to the league best 11 last season, but Agudelo probably has the highest upside being only 20.

this is not the thread to post what you are doing btw

gd deems you are being quite the gatekeeper today, first the comedy thread facetiousness now this

going to post nothing but blackout crew youtubes and pictures of wildfowl itt for the next week

that was a reference to my xp tbf

During the summer of 2011, Mr Steve Kean was this Club’s manager and accompanied the players of Blackburn Rovers on a pre-season tour of the Far East.

Whilst in Hong Kong, Mr Kean was in a bar and falsely alleged that Sam Allardyce, our previous manager, was sacked by us because he was a crook.

This is completely false and we apologise to Mr Allardyce for the embarrassment and distress caused to him by Mr Kean.

i bet they pronounce the b in subtle

isn't this the clip that was on youtube?

City send a third of their allocation back to Arsenal.

This is the game I flagged last month as a slow-seller. I happened to check this morning and there were still about 90 of the original 3,000 left for red members. Arsenal aren't selling out anything at the moment - all the home games on at the moment (including this, West Ham and Liverpool) still have some kind of tickets available.

QPR manager Harry Redknapp’s reputation as one of the more humorous personalities in English football helped him escape an FA charge after verbally attacking match officials.

The FA wrote to Redknapp asking for his comments after he said referee Chris Foy had made ‘awful decisions’ and that his assistant ‘should have gone to Specsavers or somewhere’ following QPR’s Boxing Day defeat at West Brom.

Redknapp appointed former FA compliance chief Graham Bean’s Football Factors agency to represent him and their explanation, including a reference to Redknapp’s amusing character, resulted in the FA taking no action.

The Football Factors letter circulated to QPR and the League Managers’ Association said: ‘Mr Redknapp is well known throughout the game for his jocular and humorous personality which on many occasions has brought some light relief to some very serious matters. The Specsavers remark was a humorous “tongue in cheek” comment with no intention of causing personal upset.’

Saved by the bantz

He's a lovely bloke with a heart of gold who keeps getting dragged into the mire by his tax-dodging hound

this sort of talk drives me up the walls. they really are just a step short of saying "his remarks were merely 'bantz'"

the "blind cunt with a learning disability" remark was a humorous “tongue in cheek” comment with no intention of causing personal upset.

Wait was John Terry's mum a child? I don't understand...

think it's two unrelated things.

"until he saves enough money"

he'd need a lot of loose change tbf

i like the implication that he thought "how can i raise money for me dear old mum? i know! i'll become a Premier League footballer!"

i've got some bills that need paying off, think i might start a football carrer

youse boys are hard to follow on a phone imo

"It is sexy to look at Spain"

Liverpool are entitled to 35% of a future transfer fee for the 20-year-old under the terms of his move to the Championship club last summer and have therefore offered £4m for the £6m-rated midfielder.

Pretty sure that's just offering £2M less than the club value a player at. "Therefore" would be 'offering £6M with a net cost of £4M'.

Kenny potentially returns to return once more in a returning role.

I like that James Richardson remembers him playing with his toys on the floor at the Inces' house in Como

uh, Tom Ince that is. Beats spotting Frank Lampard as a seventeen-year-old with everything

But trying to get team-mates to listen to the same music as he does is not an easy job. He tried putting on his favourite album of the last 12 months, Lonerism by Tame Impala, on in the Everton changing room and the reaction was far from positive.

Speaking to NME, Baines said: ‘Every now and again I’ll put something like that on in the dressing room but they just hate it to be honest. It doesn’t go down well.

‘To most people you say "footballer" and the immediate reaction is the stereotype, the R&B and all the stuff that comes with it. But it’s not always like that.’

‘I hope that guitar music is on the way back, it would be nice to turn on the radio without switching it off all the time.’

We need photos of him out on a bender with Bradley Wiggins and Bonehead.

Villas-Boas has always insisted he would be happy to let Adebayor go.

But the 28-year-old told africatopsports.com on the Togo Football Federation's website: "That is what he said to the press, but not what he said to me.

"There is a difference between what you say to the press and what you say in private."

ah here, fuck off you cunt

just fuck off, now
