Shak Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Agree with Kaka, tbh. Would be funny if he took a knee in the face and lost a few teeth. He'd stop that shite fairly sharpish then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Yeah, with Kaka. As a spectator, it's somewhat amusing by virtue of being ridiculous. When you're playing one of those guys, they're an insult to weasels and deserve well-angled studs for maximum damage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
summerof69 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/row-zed/daniele-de-rossi-leaves-world-7581374 Daniele De Rossi leaves World Cup winner's medal in kitman's coffin - becomes ultimate football hero A gesture from the Roma legend so magnificent, it will make your heart weep 1078 GettyMarco Materazzi looks on as Daniele De Rossi kisses the World Cup trophyThe greatest trophy in football… and the new greatest man in football For any footballer on Earth, a World Cup winner's medal is the ultimate prize. Only a select few men have ever known the immense pride and happiness that comes from having that medal placed around their neck. The idea of giving it away seems unthinkable. Not for Daniele De Rossi. The Roma midfielder has not only given up his most prized possession… he has done so in the most amazing way imaginable. Pietro Lombardi, the kitman for Italy when they won the 2006 World Cup, recently passed away, aged 92. Nicknamed "Spazzolino" (toothbrush) because he did such a great job of cleaning the players’ boots, Lomabrdi was enormously popular with the 2006 squad, including De Rossi. That's why, according to a story in Gazzetta World, De Rossi took his World Cup medal to Lombardi's funeral… and left it in his friend's coffin. GettyThe Italian players and coaching staff celebrate World Cup win 2006. Included Pietro Lombardi (circled)The Italian players and coaching staff celebrate their 2006 World Cup… including Pietro Lombardi (circled) A truly amazing gesture, made all the more classy by the fact De Rossi hasn't spoken publicly about it. We can only assume he felt Lombardi deserved some silverware of his own. One thing we do know: De Rossi just proved footballers can often be very, very decent human beings.

triggs Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Read that a few weeks ago. The biggest surprise I had is that Italy had an 82 year old kitman when they won the world cup Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only hope is that relegation forces the price down and we attract a decent buyer. It is just mind boggling that he allowed things to get as bad as that article describes them.

Ameritoon Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Garde’s relationship with Riley has completely broken down and the pair are barely on speaking terms. It is also alleged that Garde was told January targets did not want to move to Villa – only for Garde then to speak to the players directly and discover they had never been contacted. That's some next level dysfunction. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's some next level dysfunction. A bit similar to what our lot were doing to Keegan when he was here. Weren't they deliberating underbidding for players he was interested in so they wouldn't come - or something along those lines. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
