If the England team really gave a shit they'd refuse to play unless they could wear them. But of course they don't care enough.
I thought international football was supposed to be apolitical anyway. Meh.
They're all wanking off to Payet's goal on TV, comparing it to Best/Messi/Henry. So I expected something amazing, it wasn't a patch on either of Ben Arfa's runs up the pitch yet no one has mentioned him.
People are reasonably happy to see a player, whose lack of interest has contributed significantly to our demise, be shipped out for an outrageous fee. It's great.
Exactly. This is great. I'll be annoyed if he goes spurs. But at least his negative influence is out. And for a good fee at that.
This is nothing to do with promotion (although you could argue the benefits of this transfer), this is about having a laugh, on a plain old weeknight, at someone who mugged us off for the majority of his career here.
