Which says You can read the original Spanish Tweets here, but here's our translation: "We profoundly lament that a sport that is so pure is manipulated by an international organisation that acts on its economic interests… We are not trying to rid the World Cup of its excitement and euphoria. H...

I think its no great surprise that sometimes clubs make decisions based on a) youth vs experience and b) the 'name' of the player that don't really work out.

If you can't trust them not to cheat then ban the loan system or make a single clause that removes the one major loophole? Alright so you stop Lukaku from playing against Chelsea twice a year, but on the last day of the season Everton and Chelsea are both trying to claim 4th place, how do you stop ...

or make a single clause that removes the one major loophole?

Maybe, but also realistic.

Agree to an extent - but you'd need to do something about clubs hoarding the best young talent. Better for football that Deulofeu is playing regularly than just rotting at Barcelona B. Lukaku and Deulofeu clearly fulfil part 2 of the idea originally of loan players was to cover injuries and more re...

Surprised by The Sodje accusations. Match Fixing?! ... I just thought he was shit! #NotConvinced

I second that LOL

genome TBF the team we are playing in the ridiculous humidity are also European.

a bit duskier

could have been something the player demanded in order to go out on loan again. Heard an agent a while back talking about some of the oddities in contracts that never come to light and I am sure he said that alongside the more well known 'play x games and your wages increase by x' there can also be...

Is there a story behind John Gregory moving to Israel to manage?

"yeah its for movember"

Action on the pitch? Pah

Fashion off it



I don't know which detail I like most. The smart shirt underneath? The leather gloves? The hair?

My memory of Trevor Senior is him playing in goal on his last game. Did that actually happen? Yep, in a win (3-1?) over Bristol Rovers in a midweek game at Elm Park. I think Steve Frances broke his arm or leg or something. My memory is last Saturday of the season, 2-0 down just before half time to ...

Anyone interested? A Gibraltar Cricket President’s XI will take on a Lords & Commons XI at the Victoria Stadium on Saturday 7th December. This 40 overs per side match against the distinguished guests is scheduled to commence at 11am and it is to hoped that the weather will be obliging with the g...

For the same reason I think that's why Chelsea has been something of a graveyard for strikers in that time (Drogba being the exception). Drogba kind of struggled at the start, it was only in his 3rd season that he really excelled. I do recall issues when he first joined that he was perceived as not...

Still silence from Lampard's biggest fan. Whodathought NFA, one of his greatest admirer's would be so easily defeated? Didn't realise such an innocent question would cause so much upset. Don't buy your answer, Streete. Good players can still shine in poor teams, and Lampard has been surrounded most...

Fires up the James Milner tribute thread.

bum.

chum.
