M'Vila not interested in QPR move
The 22-year-old's agent insists that his client will hold out for a larger offer, although admits that there has been no contact from Arsenal for the exiled France international.

M'Vila not interested in Xbox
M'Vila not interested in a Haribo
M'Vila not interested in going to the cinema
M'Vila not interested in having a go on the swings

the transfer window is basically half term for child kidnappers

"look yann, loic's playing fifa, don't you want to play with him? eh? come on loic, you want yann to play with you don't you?"

"NO I WANT TO PLAY WITH UNCLE TONY AGAIN YANN SMELLS"

"fuck's sake"

Probably against thread rules as it's BBC not the Guardian, but this picture of Danny Graham is the best they could find?

lose the QPR badge, and Joe Jordan looks like he should be ensconced on a throne aboard some intergalactic battleship there

His coat almost has a Ming The Merciless feel.

I'm trying to remember what cartoon or comic strip the Harry pic reminds me of.

BTW is that Les Ferdinand lurking in the shadows behind Harry's arse? He really did bring his entire Spurs team with him.

haha that guy looks nothing like sir les and yet i kinda see it. same strangely dead eyes perhaps

we did try (and apparently fail) to get him and clive allen to come along but it's surely understandable when it's them two

Clive Allen had nothing better to do than co-commentate on the Stuttgart-Bayern game for ESPN at the weekend.

Do co-commentators and minor pundits get decent wedge? I'm grudgingly impressed by the shift the likes of Burley and Townsend put in, if not the content - one or other is on every other stream I get, regardless of origin or suitability.

few grand a time you'd think?

need hardworking combative midfielders to provide the most workmanlike and perfunctory colour commentary

stewart robson the miserable former arsenal bawbag was of that type iirc?
