Arsène's zipper 496, Arsène 0.


This man is a trained economist. This man has been a top-flight manager for 27 years. This man is a grown ass adult.

This man still cannot zip up his coat.

Puma swore it made a coat even he could zip. Wenger even said he could zip it up. But you can't fight the laws of Earth, and the 8th Law of Earth is that Arsène Wenger can't zip up his coat.


Words are SB Nation's, not mine.

• Paul Scholes to sit on bench against Manchester City
• Sir Alex Ferguson 'delighted' by decision

Paul Scholes

Manchester United have announced that the former England midfielderPaul Scholes has come out of retirement and will play until the end of the season. He will sit on the bench for this afternoon's FA Cup third-round match against Manchester City.

A statement on the club's official website said: "Paul Scholes has rejoined the playing staff at Manchester United for the remainder of the season with immediate effect, after approaching Sir Alex Ferguson to reverse his decision, made at the end of last season, to retire.

"He has gone straight on to the bench for this afternoon's FA Cup third-round tie against Manchester City."

Ferguson, United's manager, said: "It's fantastic that Paul has made this decision. It's always sad to see great players end their careers, but especially so when they do it early. But he has kept himself in great shape and I always felt that he had another season in him. It's terrific to have him back."

Scholes said: "I've been pretty clear since I stopped playing that I miss it. I'm delighted the manager feels I can still make a contribution to the team and I'm looking forward to playing my part in trying to bring more success to this great club."

Scholes retired at the end of last season, after helping United to win their 19th league title. He has made 676 appearances for United, scoring 150 goals, since making his debut against Port Vale in the League Cup in 1994. He has won 66 caps for England.

David de Gea might earn £35,000 a week but that didn't stop the Manchester United keeper allegedly stealing a £1.19 doughnut from Tesco.

The Spaniard waltzed into the store in Atrincham, Greater Manchester with two friends before wolfing down the tasty treat, it is being claimed.

De Gea apparently tried to make a speedy exit but was spotted on CCTV and quizzed by security staff - one of whom spoke Spanish.

Sticky-fingered: David de Gea was apparently caught in Tesco


They left the star in no doubt that he had made a howler but stopped short of taking any further action or calling the police.

'The security guards who monitor the CCTV watched two of them take a doughnut each out of the Krispy Kreme cabinet,' a source claimed in The Sun.

'They weren’t very subtle. They swaggered in chatting loudly in Spanish.

'Incredibly, they then appeared to try to leave without paying — or buying anything else for that matter.'

The source said that when challenged and ushered into the search room, de Gea did not seem to know what was going on and 'looked pretty embarrassed'.

A Tesco spokesman said: 'A customer was spoken to by our security team and the issue was resolved.'

Umm.. )

Owen Hargreaves.jpg

Former Manchester United midfielder Owen Hargreaves is set for a shock move to their neighbours and rivals Manchester City.

Hargreaves, released by United this summer after losing the best part of three years to knee problems, underwent a medical at Manchester's Bridgewater Hospital today.

The midfielder, who is now a free agent, attracted interest from Tottenham and Aston Villa, but is understood to have chosen City because of the platform it will provide for him to try to win back his England place.

Hargreaves joined United from Bayern Munich for £18million in 2007, after being voted England's best player in the World Cup in Germany the previous year.

But after helping United lift the Champions League in 2008 with victory over Chelsea in Moscow, Hargreaves fought in vain to overcome tendinitis in both knees, undergoing operations on both.

He lasted just five minutes into a comeback against Wolves last September and United decided to cut their losses on the 30-year-old, although he now has a chance to resurrect his career with their local rivals.

A pretty shocking move in general but he said he wanted frequent football e.g 40 matches this season and I don't see him being able to get that at City.

Unless you have been living under a rock or don't give a shit about La Liga, you probably heard all about the wankfest of the Supercopa, fight, tackles, racist crowds blah blah blah, etc.

But perhaps you did not hear about the absolute best part of Supercopa. One of the defining pictures of the night.


(plz ignore Mou/Vilanova, this is a fun post, not a wank post)

The Spanish journalist, girlfriend of Real Madrid's goalkeeper, had an attack of jealousy and vetoed his stunning Mexican reporter.

Iker Casillas came to Mexico with his girlfriend Sara Carbonero, among other things, to relax and record an advertising of the paradise resort city of Cancun.

All good up there, until suddenly entered the scene Gaby Elizalde, spectacular journalist of the "Futbol para todos (Football for All)" Fox Sports who had good intentions to interview successful Spanish keeper, who attended the press at his hotel, but Sara Carbonero not stand the 'competition ' and strongly opposed the appointment from her boyfriend and the Mexican reporter.

One of the compelling reasons of jealous rage of Sara Carbonero have to do with the brutal figure Elizalde has, who this year posing as God brought her to world in the journal "H Extremo. "

The interview was frustrated, but Gaby did not remain silent and advised in their own twitter: "Women not be jealous of your boyfriends. Feel safe. "Gol de Mexico!

CAMPEONES!

Sepp Blatter will make way for a successor as FIFA president in four years' time if he is re-elected in June, he has announced.

Blatter is seeking a fourth term as FIFA president and is being challenged by Asian confederation chief Mohamed Bin Hammam.

The 75-year-old told UEFA's Congress in Paris on Tuesday that if he wins he will definitely stand down in 2015, saying: "You know very well that I am a candidate for the next four years as FIFA president but these will be the last four years for which I stand as a candidate."
He added: "Together we have the task of bringing together the adventure we have started.
"We want to ensure a better future for our youth."

The new president will be elected at a Fifa Congress which starts on 31 May.

With Bin Hammam vowing to increase Fifa's decision-making power and spread its considerable wealth, Blatter is facing his first challenge since Issa Hayatou took him on - and lost - in 2002.

Bin Hammam is also currently attending the Congress for European football's governing body, Uefa, as they lobby federation presidents for their vote on 1 June in Zurich.
Uefa members make up more than one quarter of the maximum 208 Fifa voters that Blatter and Bin Hammam will attempt to woo.
The winner needs a two-thirds majority of valid votes cast in the first ballot, or a majority in the second.

Fifa has set an 1 April deadline for other candidates to be nominated by a single member federation.
"We are in extra time," said Blatter, referring to the time left before the election. "Let's wait and see what the outcome will be."

First we had Kenny giving interviews gushing about what a lovely person Andy is:
"He's a really good lad, he's really down to earth." "what will endear him to our fans is that he's normal. It's a terrible word to use, but I don't know any other word for it - he's down to earth, no edge, not arrogant or dismissive. Just a guy who is good at football."

Then loads of pictures of them having a laugh while all the other lads are busy training:

Ew sorry about the watermarks

And now they've been spotted on a LADS NITE OUT at a gig watching....BOYZONE?!?!?!






THEIR LOVE IS SO BEAUTIFUL, CARLISH 4EVA <333333

UPDATE!!!! Kenny has spoken:
 
"Well, it wasn't a date! He just happened to be there. I was with Marina and her mum!" Yeah, yeah, a likely story :P

David Beckham 'helped in car breakdown.'

  

A father-of-two has said he was in "absolute awe" after David Beckham stopped and helped when his car broke down on a Hertfordshire roundabout. Paul Long said the former England captain was the first motorist to pull over and assist him with his Nissan Primera in Ware on Wednesday.

"I couldn't believe it," said Mr Long, who was taking Josephine, six, and eight-year-old Fabian to school. "He asked if we were OK and pushed the car to safety." Mr Long, who spoke to Richard Bacon on BBC 5 live, added: "We were on the A10 roundabout, which was pretty dangerous, and had been stuck there for about 10 minutes. Eventually I saw a car pull over in the distance and a man in a hoodie got out. He pulled the hood down and as he got nearer to the car I realised it was David Beckham. My instinctive reaction was to say: 'You're David Beckham.' He asked if we were OK and I said we'd broken down and could he push us to the side. When we'd pushed the car to safety - and I have to say another man stopped to help by this point - he asked if we were OK and I said: 'David Beckham, I love you, mate'. All the way through he was smiling.

"He got us out of a sticky situation, it could have been quite nasty."

This was headlining on BBC News and thought it was sort of interesting. Anyway - so reflections on Beckham and his future? England manager or Spurs skipper? Image via David Beckham Daily on LJ.

Real Madrid head coach Jose Mourinho claims it was in referee Paradas Romero's "nature" to send him to the stands during Wednesday's 5-1 Copa del Rey win over Real Murcia.

Mourinho was protesting a 37th-minute yellow card given to Mali midfielder Mahamadou Diarra when Romero adjudged him to have overstepped the mark and banished him from the touchline.

....Spanish press reported that Romero claimed Mourinho abused him after being booked for protesting, forcing him to send the coach to the stands.

"In the 37th minute, the manager Jose Mario dos Santos Mourinho Felix was given a yellow card for the following reason: raising his arms in the air, complaining about a decision I made," Romero reportedly wrote in his after-match summary.

"Once he was given the yellow card, he faced me and said, 'Go to hell.'"

Dubai: Former France midfielder Zinedine Zidane has been appointed ambassador for Qatar's attempt to host the 2022 World Cup, said the Gulf Arab state's bid committee.
Qatar's bid is one of nine for the finals but their main opposition is likely to come from Australia, Japan, South Korea and United States.
"Football is for everyone," Zidane said in a statement. "When I think of all the youth of the Middle East, what they're missing is an event like the World Cup.

"We had [the 2010 World Cup] in Africa and now it is time for the Middle East."

Fancy stadium and a happy surprise... )
