So after lengthy scrutinising we've deduced that either he can't keep his cock in his pants or he hates Pardew so much he has to retire? The first one sounds more feasible tbf.

women and cash do things to players.

Incredibly sad way for this to seemingly end. Love the bloke tbf.

I'm tempted just to blame a women for all of this.

Aye there's a lot more to this then just his wife being supposedly ill. Yup, serious personal problems. Don't think its a club fallout or out to with Pardew.

Score the winner next week?

If his lass was ill, and he had to get home, you would think the club would let him go. As they're not, must be something deeper going on here.

I'm starting to question that tbh. ok how so? what are the other options in this scenario? he wants to leave to go to another club for less money for homesickness perhaps (lived outside of argentine most of adult life btw)? ok, maybe he's the first footballer in history in history to want that but it's unlikely...once you skip that step what's left? Not sure but i think there's more to it than that, the ill wife talk has died down quite a lot in last couple of weeks i don't think that's the sole reason if the reason at all. You not think if its was a club or manager dispute he would just seek a regular move? Clubs would line up for him, but he only wants to go to one and for reasons unknown.

Aye. It's well documented he wants to return home, San Lorenzo the only club in for him, Dad attempting to instigate the whole issue. It's still a severe domestic case imo.

obviously he needs to be there over anything else, he's not stuck a regular transfer request in. Something to do with his missus.

yikes.

Fans deserve to know whats happening now, gone on for too long. Aye, still can't jump to any conclusions over this like. No one has a clue what the crack is.

Are the FA not likely to investigate why a member of Swansea's staff stated he was deliberately going to timewaste, and promptly proceeded in doing so?

Immediate reaction yeh. This is what they see on the pitch.

Firmly on team Hazard in all of this! I'm sure the ballboy rolled around a bit.

Modern football has poisoned these kids. Shameful little twat.

He jumped at it, needed to be a bit more clever.

It could have but once a referee decides it's not then it's a booking, especially after the way he went on at him. Yeh he's got to caution him, Ba was to eager to go down tbf. Defending was rather clumsy.

Coulda been a penalty that for me. That flick of the leg was awful.

Santon is younger,and a lot less experienced than Simpson. Its slightly unbalanced to compare the two imo. I'm not Simpsons biggest hater but he's one of the weak links in our side (or was) and he offers absolutely zip in the final third of the pitch.

That's not a glowing endorsement of Barca's midfield. We currently have zero trophies.

I think it's more as a defence against the 'he's put loads of his own money in' argument used to show his generosity. He had to, as did anyone else who was going to buy the club. So it's hardly something worthy of praise. A lot of it was for the perfectly sensible stadium redevelopment payments as well, so there's even less to praise for. More a fact than a defence, but yes. This debate polarised years ago into people like me who can't stand the bloke and people who want to lick the sweat off his sphincter after he's been out jogging in his rubber gimp suit. Until he gets that SD s**** off SJP I'm sticking with he can f*** off. Brutal imagery.

Wonderful

All far to positive this, feels odd.

Still seem rather clumsy remarks to describe Mbiwa's next employers. Not saying he aint got a point either by the way.
