Aguero may win many awards in his career but I doubt a BAFTA will be one of them. Fellaini was stupid and deserved a second booking but I reckon Aguero deserved a yellow for simulation. I really don't see in that situation why the referee can't give a yellow for intent and a yellow for simulation. I...
I do wonder if someone who is loyal to another part of their business empire is sitting behind a keyboard in Thailand complaining about them syphoning profits instead to pay for their football club plaything over in England.
The football club is but a small part of a larger business portfolio.
If they sell 75%, they will still own 25%, and I assume that the Chinese will expect them to pay 25% of the costs. It's all ifs, bits and maybes. As it stands, they have put the club back on a more even keel. Any property deal may or may not benefit the club in the same way that the sale of the land...
United have only lost 3 games all season. Mourinho has a knack of getting the better of Wenger and City really are going nowhere at the moment. I can see Utd beating Arsenal and getting something against City. I can also see Liverpool losing their next 3 games. For all their attacking flair, they ha...
Has anyone else been done for betting on this many matches? Only then can I decide if poor 'ickle Joey has been harshly treated or not It's only a games per week and I think I read they only changed the rules so that they couldn't bet on any matches a few years ago so I'm not even sure if the 1,200...
Are they? I'd say it was pretty even odds on any one of Liverpool, City or United missing out on the Champions League. In fact I'd go as far as to say that if I had to put money on who misses out, it wouldn't be on United and I can't stand them or their kunt if a manager.
"We want our Dalek back" remains my favourite RFC chant What game was that at? Am I right in thinking it was at home? I seem to remember a 6ft penis bring one of the inflatables they wouldn't return at Blackburn or that may have been Hillsborough the season before. To be fair, both times,...
Newcastle United and West Ham raided by the HMRC following an investigation into transfer activity. Lee Charnley arrested along with several others. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2017/04/26/newcastle-managing-director-lee-charnley-arrested-st-james-park/ It's always the ones you least expect....
Thing is, at the time that Zola was given the job the universal opinion from pundits, fans, everyone was "WTF are you doing?" and it wasn't just the sacking of a successful manager whilst in the playoffs but also the hiring of a manager with a consistent track record of failure. I can only...
Zola's win percentages as manager: West Ham 28.75% Watford 44% Cagliari 20% Al-Arabi 38.46% Birmingham 8.33% :lol: Decent at Watford I suppose. While we're on the subject, I noticed that Jaap Stam has the highest win percentage of all time for Reading managers. 8) I forgot about him at Watford. I w...
On reading Garry Monk's comments on defeat to Burton (" I think it was an extremely unfair result"), I thought that this was very ungracious. He has gone down even more in my estimation. The same Gary Monk that said they deserved something when we beat them. the guy is a turd. him and Lee...
Seem to remember Stam saying that he has been a long standing admirer of Ilori because he's a ball playing centre back who reads the game well but he never seriously thought he'd be available.
It's very easy when the team in question is Bolton. For some it's 1995, for me it's the decade of anti-football under Allardyce, the fcuking gimp flag waving bollocks they used to do before each game, the shitty drummers who sounded like an angry wasp in a jar, their shitty stadium which is 10 times...
