Did they not learn when they were comparing their champions league winners to our "no-name frenchies"?

It's still correct, as in the link above

http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11661/7872594/ Sky Sports understands Newcastle are closing in on the signing of Coventry City starlet Gael Bigirimana with the midfielder undergoing a medical on Tyneside.

Quite amazes me that some fans can be so monumentally moronic (or bigotted if the truth be told) in their saying Celtic fans are any less of a bag of dog turds than Rangers. In fact, I'd just bet that Celtic are no more "honourably" run that Rangers at their worst. They've just hid it better. There but for the grace of a competent auditor and all that. They've not hid it that well, paedophiles. When I dared ro suggest to a Celtic fan they'd misbehaved when they came here I was basically flat out called a liar and told Celtic fans were welcome everywhere in the world and were famous for being the best behaved fans anywhere in the coutnry.

Wow, an accolade on par with being the world's best paraplegic juggler.

Ah, 31st of July. Bollocks.

Why are they telling people to use hash tags on Facebook? Anyway, wasn't part of the release clause supposed to be that he can only leave for a cut price before the 30th of June? Must be decision time if there's any substance in that.

"In May 2010, we released a report that analysed leaked contracts and showed that Tullow (and Heritage Oil) and the British Embassy in Kinshasa had been lobbying for terms that would cut Congolese government revenues by over $10 billion – a figure equivalent to the country's entire national debt. There was also a credible report in a US diplomatic cable that Tullow’s then partner in Congo, Heritage Oil, was tasked with building relationships with senior politicians to ensure the lucrative deal went through. The result of this particular “Investment in Africa” would have represented a significant transfer of wealth from some of Africa's poorest to British and Irish investors. Elsewhere, from Ghana to Kenya, Tullow have worked against development outcomes by resisting calls for their 25-year contracts to be made public. Last month Tullow were on the backfoot again after a Corporate Watch investigation found that the killing of six Congolese by the Ugandan army next to a shared Tullow/Heritage exploration block was triggered by Heritage straying across the border illegally. Only following the release of the report – a full five years since the deaths – has Tullow promised to investigate what really happened." Fucking disgraceful that is like. Should be a government/football ethics commitee looking into this rather squalid arrangement Sunderland are entering into. Yeah, they're known dicks http://publicagendaghana.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=219:dr-steve-manteaw-sub-editing-mr-ebenezer-hanson&catid=25:ra-front-page&Itemid=34

The BBC legal the hell out of everything court-related before publishing or broadcasting it. They do it with the most mundane of local news stories, so there is no chance such a high profile article has not been cleared by one or more legal experts before going on the site.

L'equipe now running this thing about possible 'sanctions' for Nasri and Ben Arfa http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=fr&u=http://www.lequipe.fr/Football/Actualites/Deux-ans-de-suspension-pour-nasri/294071

We've got a Euro prediction league going at work and I'm in the quarter finals of the knockout part of the competition. I've just been sent the predictions of the guy who I'm up against and we've predicted exactly the same scoreline for every single match Czech Republic 0-2 Portugal Germany 3-0 Greece Spain 2-1 France England 1-1 Italy Not sure what the odds of that are. Anyway, as it's definitely going to be a tie, and also a tie on tie breakers like closest to correct amount of total goals, it goes to the tie breaker of closest to total goals in the last round, which is me. So I'm through to the semis before a ball has been kicked. And about to put a quid on an accumulator.

Arrange to sell them Nile, install him as director and call them Ranger's.

I believe RVP addressed rumours he converted to Islam before marrying his Dutch-Morrocan wife. "It's not true. I am not a Muslim, nor a Christian or a Jew. I have been raised liberally. If you want to become a Muslim it should come from the heart. I would not do it just to please my wife." http://www.dutch-football.com/football/articles/robin_van_persie_holland_netherlands_euro_2008.shtml That's from four years ago, suppose he could have converted since then but it doesn't sound like he had any intention of doing so.

Maybe not 'one of the only' but it's not as common as you might think Argentina - Playoff Brazil - Number of wins Belgium - Games won Greece - Head to head points Italy- Head to head records MSL - Head to head Poland - Head-to-head points Portugal - Head to head points Russia - Number of wins Spain - Head to head points

Apparently the Premier League is one of the only leagues in the world where goal difference is the first deciding factor. Anyway: So it's not exactly head to head, it's the most points gained in the matches between the teams in question - so if it's a three way tie, it's how many points you got from the other two teams on the same points as you. The page that came from also shows exactly what needs to happen for each team to qualify http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18454917

What's this conspiracy theory that the Russians had been offered a massive goal bonus last night, and so were all going for goal from anywhere rather than passing, thus losing them the game?

Anyone see this on SSN? http://i838.photobucket.com/albums/zz303/daveylad92/292189_404407996277716_2004565181_n.jpg Fucking hell

Just... Why? And what's that square at the bottom left, a fucking post-it?

Text a Spurs fan mate asking what he thought and what the world famous Spurs ITKs think about the replacement "Mixed feelings really. HR is a self serving tactical dinosaur but could be a case of better the devil you know. The ever unreliable ITK thinks the smart money is on Blanc."

Where do we reckon he'll end up then? Even if Spurs get Moyes I can't see him going to Everton with there being fuck all transfer pot.

His tattoo looks like a normal tribal tattoo with boneitis.
