Still not worthy of a thread

Always think Kroenke looks uncannily like Burt Lancaster's character in Local Hero.

I got last season's yellow ball a couple weeks ago and I love it. It looks amazing when it's spinning back up to you. I think Nike have done a tremendous jobs with the PL balls over the years. I've always preferred them over Adidas balls which I think have a spongy coating.

it's right about the fam and blud shit though, does anyone actually speak like that?  hope not

 

He exaggerates it but of course people talk like that. Why do you hope not? People from different cultures/races/areas using different slang words/dialect is not some strange unusual phenomenon.

Every time my eldest talks like that and he does a lot. I just die a little inside.

I remember my mate having an Adidas Tango ball as a gift from parents.  They cost 20 odd quid back then  circa 1983. I rolled it to him as we came back from the park without him paying attention. He soon paid attention when a National Express coach ran over it causing a bang similar to a gunshot.  Tried to blame me for it  fruitlessly :milner:

Tony Adams digging into Wenger by indicating that he shouldn't have left him out of the team or first team coaching staff.

 

Can't they guy just get it into his head that he's obviously not a very good coach, and during his days at Arsenal when Wenger was there he was on the decline.

Vieira has also had a dig about him quite recently as well.

James Milner moment:

 

So, a mate of mine tagged me on Facebook - some page called "The Football Feed". The post said "Tag the FIRST player you think of when you see this" and there's a picture of a red card. So, he's tagged me because I was a thug back in the day, with X-rated tackles and R-rated language towards officials.

 

Anyway, it made me think of the first player I thought of when I think red card. And the answer was Keiron Dyer and Lee Bowyer for their fight against Villa. Went on a Google search and found this Lee Ryder interview:

 

Kieron Dyer lifts the lid on fight with Newcastle United team-mate Lee Bowyer

 

Former Newcastle United star Kieron Dyer opens up about his fight with team-mate Lee Bowyer back in 2005

 

By Lee Ryder 11:30, 20 OCT 2014

 

Kieron Dyer has opened up about his onfield punch-up with Lee Bowyer.

 

The pair came to blows during a 3-0 home defeat against Aston Villa in 2005 when they heaped shame on Newcastle United.

 

Dyer says that it was a personal insult aimed at Bowyer’s lack of ability that pushed him over the edge.

 

The former Toon star said: “We were playing the game, he came short and wanted the ball and I passed to someone else.

 

“He was like ‘Give me the ball’ and I was like ‘I haven’t given the ball away, what you talking about’. Five minutes later he came again and I gave it to somebody else.

 

“And he said, ‘You never pass to me!’ I said, ‘The reason I don’t pass to you is because you’re **** basically’.

 

“There were a lot of swear words. And that was it then you just saw him lose his head.

 

“He said, ‘You what?’ And I said, ‘You heard me.’

 

“As he was walking towards me I just thought he was going to grab me or push me.

 

“When he was raining the punches in I thought, ‘You need to get on the weights because they aren’t hurting.’

 

“Secondly, I was thinking ‘I can’t believe he’s doing this in front of 50,000 people’.”

 

The spat continued in the dressing room, and Dyer revealed that Jean Alain Boumsong told the pair to fight it out in the dressing room – before they backed down when Graeme Souness offered to fight them both!

 

Dyer said: “I didn’t know you could get sent off for fighting your own team-mate, so when the red card came out I thought, ‘What the hell!’

 

“I was sent off first and I was waiting in the tunnel to get some revenge. He came in, and we had two massive masseurs and they just dunked us on their shoulders.

 

“It was like a cartoon when your feet are dangling off the ground and we were trying to get at each other. We are sat in the changing room and they were in the middle of us.

 

“I was thinking how I could get to him. Then we heard the final whistle.

 

“Boumsong came in and said, ‘If you want to fight, fight now.’ I was wanting to fight and get the revenge.

 

“Then Souness came in and said, ‘If you want to fight I’ll beat both of you.’ Al came in and I never saw him lose it like that – he went mad and called us selfish and a disgrace. He knew we’d have a three-match suspension and miss the FA Cup semi-final that was coming up.”

 

Dyer has since patched things up with Bowyer.

 

He said: “I still see him now, we are friends. That’s just the way Lee was. But I still want to beat him up.”

 

 

Still astonishes me that this happened...

Javier Zanetti interviewed in the latest FourFourTwo:

 

Have you ever been to England for anything other than football?

 

As for England, I have been there many times with my family: London of course but also Birmingham, Newcastle, Manchester, Liverpool. I like to go travelling with my wife. She is a big Beatles fan so when we visited Liverpool she was super excited

 

Love the image of Zanetti and his wife walking along the quayside with that beautiful side parting of his.  Hope he doesn't just mean when he came with Inter
