Love watching Gareth Bale as well.
Don't like goal line technology.
Never really understood why there aren't more players at the top level who can take an absolutely giant throw in. Not that difficult trait to train up but can be a really effective asset for any team. Of course watching Stoke under Pulis was pure aids where their game plan was only throw ins but still. Every team should have at least one player who can launch a gigantic throw in.
In other news the handball World cup was held in Qatar last month. Dear me was that a farce. Germany got into the tournament through the back door, the referees were very obviously paid off and Qatar fielded a team with player-mercenaries from all over the world. The Qatari's even reached the final by way of very dodgy refereeing but fortunately lost. Handball isn't completely rid of corruption no less than football but this was a sad affair. This winter WC will be a disaster

Good piece that. First paragraph says it all really.
"The only person Alan Pardew did a good job for at Newcastle United was Mike Ashley. The only person who benefited from his time on Tyneside was Alan Pardew. He most certainly did not do a good job for Newcastle United’s supporters and that is why we don’t like him."
Haha would love to have Costa there still too. Strange team Atletico. Villains yet underdogs managed by an absolute lunatic who is still so very likable.
I'd say he's more than solid. He's my favourite defender in the Premier League.
Aye solid probably is an understatement. Forgot to mention he also delivers a lot of assists for a defender.
Shirley Ivanovic must be one of the better Premier League buys of the last ten years. Always solid, never injured, can cover right and center back in chips in with a very impressive amount of goals every season. That's not bad for 9.7m.
Wow that Buzzfeed article brought back a lot of memories. This the beauty and international appeal of the game. You only need something that resembles a ball.
