Village Idiot

Jack looks like a midget in that pic.

Not able to play till Jan. Not sure what the plan would be if we indeed sign him.

Erm... http://www.nufcblog.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Fabricio-Coloccini-trophy.jpg That's nowt compared to http://www.nufc.com/images/2010-11images/2010-08-03trophy.jpg When I was a kid, Spanish media bigged up those summer trophies to no end. Clubs would even list them alongside their proper trophies! Always loved how massive the Teresa Herrera is, all the same.

Pretty much this actually. Lim has undermined them in the transfer market repeatedly so there was little point in continuing the façade. Lim now has full control of the board.

A bunch of our media claiming Turan is on the verge of signing for us

Amadeo Salvo, Valencia's president, has left the club together with the DoF due to differences with Peter Lim.

Proceeds go to charities, too.

I presume Eto'o has a dude managing his social media for these kind of things. I guess he isn't paying him enough.

Jackson Martínez to Atlético official now. €35m. It's a lot for a soon-to-be 29 year old, but they missed their customary dominating striker this season.

There's the Euro at the end of the season, if Cabaye wants to have a chance to make the squad he needs to be a definite starter.

Don't see how its ridiculous, its not as if he has to turn up for training or have any involvement with NUFC. He just has to go out and find a new club and once a tribunal sorts out compensation he can play poorly for them. He's an out of contract worker who cannot work for someone else unless they pay a fee. He is neither earning, nor capable of earning elsewhere. He's basically forced to re-sign for us, on a no doubt ridiculously low ball contract. Spain abolished this kind of compo because it infringed on the footballer's right to practice his profession. I'm all for rewarding clubs that develop players, but this seems to me an excessive restraint that hurts the footballer.

Fact is that Gomes was always an excellent shot-stopper; that's an example of why stats will never tell you the full story. Even if the took those at a face value, which we shouldn't: http://cdn.caughtoffside.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/goalie-stats.jpg

I hate this meme. I can understand the audio, and the conflicting inputs between audio and subtitles shortcircuit my brain whenever I try to watch these videos.

Can't see how Cech will make that big of a difference in Arsenal's title hopes. He certainly is an upgrade on Ospina but Ospina wasn't bad. Seems incremental to me.

Montoya on loan to Inter, two seasons. I still feel there's a player there that we have failed to develop, for whatever reason Lucho and Martino wouldn't give him the time of the day.

Sergio García leaves Espanyol for some Qatar team. That's their best player gone. Deserves the money he'll get there, although I hate seeing good footballers gone to waste in those leagues.

That's the talk. He could also be there to travel down to Sevilla, mind. They were also linked with him. Any word over there on where he might be headed? Can see him being the perfect seasoned, experience work-hard wideman for Mourinho. Rumor is that he's tired of being a workhorse in Cholo's system though, wants to play for a team that allows him to express himself more.

They got 6m for Hazard's brother? Hell, can't deny they're good sellers.

He looked mint for a while for Sevilla when he was there.

Why is it great news for English football? Dat hyperbole

I still believe it's all posturing to get a fat new contract.

Athletic B promoted to Liga Adelante.

This Ryder fella is surely a parody account? It's like somebody purposely spoofs the worst traits of sport journalism.
