Looking at his body shape currently I am not surprised.

The best player in our Sunday 7on7 games is abit of a chubby bastard. Some guys can get away with it.

Your Sunday league must play to a very high standard.

Sounds horrible. He was before my time but I know that goal of the season from the first Premier League season from various greatest goal videos etc.

It has been discussed to death in the other thread.

Serbia should be fined for having such a shit surface to play an international qualifier on. They may as well just play on a random field.

Did Fat Sam really pretty much say that Rooney can do what he wants on the pitch?

Yup, he did. Because Rooney has more experience than he does in international football.
Might as well start calling the players Harty, Kaney, Roo-Roo and the other cute names English footballers go by.

What a day I'm going to have this Saturday, from morning till evening.

On the international stage he just does what he wants anyway.

Pato was very good yesterday.

Some outrageous touches there. Shades of Ronaldinho.

Him and Balo just turned 27 and 26 respectively. Important season for both IMO. If they consistently perform think by next summer some top club might be interested in them again

EDIT: Great performance! That 1-2 for the second goal! 🙂

I started to feel sorry for him the way that compilation began, but the second half was full of sublime stuff. Outrageous assist to the second goal. Özil would have been proud.

Not half as sorry as I felt for myself when I heard the music

Aurier's been handed a 2 month prison sentence. What an absolute fucking plonker.

Just got an alert on my phone from le monde, didn't see it online.

Lequipe is reporting it as well.

Ah I see. As far as I can understand it is after an altercation with the police. What in the fuck is going inside his head. Makes Bendtner look like a sensible person.

Sentence will most likely be 'converted' apparently, whatever that means.

Here is the BBC article on it. Thank god we ended up giving Bellerin a chance instead of going in for this idiot. What a disaster he's turning out to be, first with that whole snapchat trouble last year and now this.

Just watched the footage.
Embarrassing and i don't even like the man.
I think the FAs defence will be along the lines that he simply gave advice and shut the bung door his business advisor opened.
There was a lot more on Venables/Redknapp and that didn't stick.

As for Aurier, the accusation seems very much like this comedy sketch.

William Carvalho dropping a beast performance and looking mighty fit for a big man:

He'll be off this summer for sure

He should have been off, but West Brom couldn't agree wages with him.

He looks like a Wanyama who can pass.

I have a feeling Mourinho and Utd will be in for him in January.

This Allardyce sting is infuriating. Why do English papers feel a need to engage in entrapment to sully innocents? I hate it. What's the role of newspapers? To report the news or to create it?

Allardyce is innocent, is he?

He's not innocent, but it's not like they've uncovered anything shocking either. Would be surprised if anything sticks.
