He thought he was too good to be on our bench in 2005. If he'd had the humility and patience to work hard Wenger would have given him countless chances here and he'd have made him a better player in the process. Instead he chose to go Mark Hughes and settle for being a bog standard English winger.

Heard from someone who went to school with him that he never really liked football.

Check it out. New Nike Commerical love it.

inzhagi replaces seedorf at ac milan

How long was Seedorf in the job for?

He's a wily old fox is Blatter, despite all the allegations nothing sticks to him.

Oh it sticks, he just likes being covered in shit.

He always plays the racist card to suppress criticism as we remember when he used it to defeat Lennart Johansson in the election to replace his mentor, the even more corrupt João Havelange.
None of us were surprised that his supporters, then, President of the Confederation of African Football Hayatou Issa and FIFA Vice-President Jack Warner were disgraced by the corruption charges.

so i'm really at a loss. I don't understand. A global game, most popular all over with people so passionate and a simple and arguably remediable malady continues to be allowed on without a problem.
I'm not a fan of video technology for every decision but punish Fred today, and it'll hinder further diving and simulation. Totally takes the joy out and point of the game. What's stopping the authorities to act against such a big problem of the game.

The problem Doc is if you're going to allow a video review of incidents, teams will demand a review of every fucking throw in awarded against them, it will never end.

well, of course. But penalties are huge decisions which totally change matches. I also realize it's beyond tough to demarcate genuine fouls from falls, but i still wish there is a system to retrospectively punish these fuckers.

Conte resigns as Juventus manager.

Wow that's a shock. Vidal and Pogba definitely in the market now? I would take Asamoah too.

Reckon its because he was told Vidal is being sold tbh.

Or he wants the Italy job?

Yep. He's publicly said that he wanted the job in the past. There were talks about him managing Italy part-time outside Juventus but I don't think such an arrangement is realistic.

i dont know why/how i found this, but here it is, lol:

Lahm has retired from international football.

Very odd as he's only 30, could have started in Euro 2016.

Nicklas Bendtner taking his career seriously ...

Strange decision from Lahm.

Coutinho? He hasn't done much training over the summer, eh? 🙂

That looks like a stocky version of Ben Arfa to me.

Heh. I think you may have a point. Too bad, since it would have been a lot funnier had it been Coutinho! 🙂
