  1. When did Negredo become Zangief?
  2. (uploaded by sky) Seems to blame the capitulation after the pen/sending off on lack of character, not the loss as a whole. Looks and speaks like he's 2 drinks away from shanking a few of them in a dark alley.

    Remy Cabella

    Do Montpellier fans think he's as much of a wanker as we do? Seems the bombastic, blustering, idiotic type.
  4. Ghost written by Katie Hopkins.
  5. Just because headbutt can be used to describe everything from Pardew's love tap to a nose breaking blow doesn't mean there should be one punishment for the entire spectrum.
  6. The PFA said the clause wasn't binding didn't they? He's since signed a new one anyway, this is just trolling arsenal.
  7. my reaction would have been tied to the severity of the headbutt tbh. barest of lovetaps ala pardew and I'd condemn it but laugh all the same. draw blood/break nose and I'd be fuming. It's not any way for a manger to act regardless.
  8. ooo the triple xtra It's man time.
  9. Why do City struggle with that lot when they steamroll everyone else
  10. Not sure about the manager thing, it is brought up a lot but it would be interesting to know how many qualified black people go for managerial roles to get some perspective. And then peeling the onion back a little further it'd be interesting to know if there's an undercurrent of veiled racism that runs through football that keeps black people from getting those qualifications in the first place through dissuasion or intimidation or just plain ignorance. I assume anyone can take these exams etc.. and if there was any dissuasion it would be a massive story already as someone would have spoken out by now. The problem is that taken individually, you can explain away any specific incident of dissuasion as being specific to that player/ex-player. Or any incident where the development/encouragement of non-black players was given higher priority. But taken as a whole, looking at a pattern of it over time, the preference/encouragement given to other people by everyone at all levels, it becomes harder to hand-wave away. And establishing - researching, talking to ex players/coaches - takes a while. So no, just because it hasn't been a story yet doesn't mean it doesn't happen. What a ludicrous thing to suggest. edit: to clarify I'm suggesting this as a possibility, not as something that definitely happens. I don't think it can be dismissed as an idea solely on the back of no exposes in the rags about it. Oh there would be? Why? racism != xenophobia and nationality != skin tone.

  12. That seems like legitimately the absolute worst sports show on Earth. Not until it's chaired by skip bayless
