I'll never understand how straight men do their eyebrows without questioning their sexual orientation at some point

I've learned recently that its very, very common. Barbers even do it for them. If I had big bushy black eyebrows I'd probably do something about it though, no one wants to look like Bert.

Guess it's acceptable if your brows are starting to merge but that's an extreme case. Don't know which Bert you're talking about but I'm sure I'd rather look like him than have eyebrows like Ronaldo on that cover, he looks like the girl next to him ffs.

Nothing amiss with guys plucking and shaping eyebrows but it has to be subtle to look good.
If it's obvious (as in Ronaldo's case) it looks wrong.

In that case you might as well tell the barber to shave your head off.

I see all the ins and outs of the Bale deal have leaked too. Apparently there is a bit in about Bale not being allowed to saying anything negative about Spurs while at Madrid and they have a first option if a PL club are interested.

jones

The most interesting thing about the deal for me is that Real have had a clause put in the legal text which specified they would state in their press conference that they paid 91m for him instead of the actual 101m, all to appease Ronaldo 😆

Mascherano sentenced to a year in jail for tax fraud. Will most likely get away with a hefty fine.

I was reading that you get a suspended sentence for your first conviction if its under 2 years.

Segway

What's the deal with all these Barca players being tax evading cunts?

Qwiss

Its a club culture thing.

jones

Mascherano's comment after the sentencing showcases exactly why these assholes should be jailed for this "offence". Apparently he didn't know that he had to declare his image rights which he ceded to his companies in Portugal and the US. Why would you cede your image rights to them in the first place? Pay your fucking taxes you dickhead.

Klaus

Not his fault to be fair. Well it is in a juridical sense, but he's obviously got people handling this stuff for him, same as everyone else. I doubt he has a clue what an image right is.

The reason this happens so much in Spain is because they thought there was a legal loophole, and the government is anxious to close it. Xabi Alonso is under investigation for the same thing currently. Arsenal used to have a company abroad that handled wage payments in order to circumvent some British tax laws. Not sure what happened with that, but the point is that people pay exactly as little as they can get away with.

goon

Yeah, he'll have someone who'll tell him he can save x amount on Tax if they do this or that, they'd probably tell him it's legal and he'd probably agree and come away thinking he's got a great advisor who's going to save him millions.

That being said, I wouldn't do it myself beyond the mainstream legal tax avoidance techniques.

we got in trouble.

Given that Kroenke has registered KSE in the tax haven Delaware I'm pretty sure we're still involved in some dodgy "legal tax avoidance" fuckery, the other 30% owned by Red and White are also registered in Jersey. There was a Guardian article some time ago which unsurprisingly showed that most Premier League clubs are registered on the Bahamas, Cayman Islands and so on. Sure doesn't look like the club extends its holier than thou attitude towards tax vigilance too.

jones

PSG have just put five past Angers, a team which has conceded just 13 goals in 21 games prior to tonight. I have them in with a decent chance for the CL this season, they're at the same level as Real and Bayern I'd say. Two of the goals tonight

That's 11 goals and 12 assists in 25 games for Di Maria now by the way. 😆

Klaus

😆 van Gaal is such a fucking disaster.

I think PSG will win Champions League this season too. Ibrahimovic is having another monster season and Di Maria is the perfect creative fold for him. Their midfield is arguably the best in the world too.

Clrnc

What the fuck Di Maria's goal. Insane.
