- Watford face fine and points loss over forged HSBC bank letter SMH
- Jose Mourinho knows there is a problem in his Manchester United squad that spending alone cannot cure Oh man. I'm torn, I don't like Man United, but I do have a soft spot for Mourinho, because he lured me to the sport. But still, LOL

My friend thinks that Bale is going to win it. Okay

After Yaya Touré, Man City have learnt from their mistakes. Alles Gut zum Geburtstag, Guendog! That's what they were saying to Özil in that video the other day, yeah? (I played that video so many times because I wanted to figure out the phrase without resorting to google).
Sergio Ramos walking around looking like an expensive fountain pen
Football confessions
A lot of footballers have some dodgy tattoos though. Isco's is the worst and Torres' doesn't make much sense. Neymar's come off as cheap
Oh, OP!
Oh okay
Yeah, I'll agree that Dele Alli has a pleasant voice. As in, if he became a pundit down the road, I wouldn't be all, 'Bitch eating crackers', you know what I mean?
As in BDSM Daddy or the other one?
Yeah, his looks have grown on me too
LOL, oh Simeone!
I gotta say, the Championship (English 2nd tier football) is a slog. Two matches a week, twenty two teams, less finesse, more brute force. Not to mention the two domestic cup journeys in midweek. I do follow the league and yeah, SLOG
For more confessions look here
Memes
Umm... let me not stop you. I gotta say, his black ink tattoo is the only one I like
OP: done! Cheers, jeers, corrections and commentary pushback, you know the drill, I hope!

Date: 2016-10-25 11:50 am (UTC)What do you think about Giggs comment (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3867916/Ryan-Giggs-slams-Manchester-United-player-reactions-4-0-loss-Chelsea-Zlatan-Ibrahimovic-Anthony-Martial-seen-swapping-shirts.html)?
Re: Giggs' comment:
Date: 2016-10-25 11:57 am (UTC)You can't have it both ways, buying mercenaries at top dollar and then expecting them to pledge their troth to the club.I It's just a job to them, and they are always keeping an eye out for the other transfer. This is why you need strong academy lads in the side, to pass on what the shirt means, but there's not so much of that in English football anymore. The class of '92 need to let a lot of comforts that they've grown up with go.
RE: Re: Giggs' comment:
Date: 2016-10-25 08:47 pm (UTC)Hopefully get a DOF
Date: 2016-10-25 09:09 pm (UTC)Man United should just do what Bayern or Seville have done to great success; get a DOF, as well as good scouts and good planning.
Manchester United are too big and too expensive to be lurching from manager to manager. Also, with the Glazers taking money from the club, it might be in danger of going the way of Valencia if they're not careful.
