Palermo interested in Kyle Lafferty

I really have no idea why they'd want him.

ESPN reckon United are gonna bid £8M for Wanyama.

Celtic will probably ask for twice that.

Oh, and I bet Helsingborg feel like right twats for losing out on him now.

Do they have to be 'my regens' or just ones found in the game? I'm in 2030 and despite managing lower countries, there seems to be a few popped up in England I could show?

Feel free to post them if you like.

True. but without the internet I'd have had no access to such material.

I'd be willing to bet that if you were your age in the late 80's or early 90's, you'd have at least one friend who'd be able to provide you with video copies of Faces of Death or similar pre-internet gore.

K3V0, that video of Budd Dwyer shooting himself is tame. I'm so desensitized thanks to the internet.

You're not desensitized because of the internet, you're desensitized because you like watching sick and/or disturbing things, something you would probably have done even if the internet didn't exist.

I love Andrei Markov. Praying to the hockey gods that he'll stay healthy all season long. We'll make the playoffs if he does.

Oh, and Alex Galchenyuk is going to be a superstar in this league.

Apparently Drogba and Kolo Toure are close to sign for Galatasaray. Signings for the future, eh?

Clearly going all-in with their quest to win the 2008 Champions League.

Prandelli said he's spoken to Icardi about representing Italy rather than Argentina. I think the kid's going to be getting another call soon.

That'd be quite a turn of events, considering Samp pulled him from the Argentinian U20 national squad just a month ago.

Samp only paid Barca €400k for him, they could probably get 10 if not 20 times that if they sold him today.

Sicily seems like a great place to visit if you can rent a car, judging from what I've read, seen on travel programmes and heard from my parents.

It is the South, but it is also a popular tourist destination with a well-developed tourism industry.

But born, nonetheless, in the modern day capital of Uzbekistan and he plays for Nigeria hence 'Russian'

Birthplaces are completely irrelevant in discussions about a persons nationality. Jus Soli was not practised by the Soviet Union and is not practised by any of it's successor states. He is Russian and Nigerian, he most certainly isn't Uzbek.

People can have more than one nationality and belong to more than one ethnic group at a time, it's hardly rocket science.

Born in the Uzbeki part of the USSR I think. So yeah, he is 'Russian' although he doesn't play for them obv.

His mother is an ethnic Russian and he was raised in Russia. He is Russian.

Think he meant WBA signed him from Loko Moscow?

Yes on both accounts.

Considering the incident over there when he left, I doubt he'd ever consider playing there again.

What about teams with injured players then, Mr. Wenger? When teams lose key players to injuries mid-season the teams that play them afterwards will be playing against "weaker" teams too, should we disregard those results? Perhaps implement a ban on long-term injuries? Maybe even a full ban on all injuries?

That old fart truly whines about everything, doesn't he? Maybe if he stopped complaining so much he'd actually be able to win something.

There is some commentator who always says Cazorla like he's having a stroke and although he's probably trying to pronounce it the proper way it just sounds ridiculous!!

That'd be the guy on MOTD, lisping while pronouncing the Z in his name.

I have new least favourite thing. When people put on a stupid accent to say foreign words or place names. You can say Notre Dame without making yourself sound like a pretentious tit.
It's acceptable if you're in full flow speaking a different language, but when it's just one word or phrase, it's annoying as fuck.

It's only annoying when they say it wrong.

If you're just looking for a nice place to stay with the girlfriend for a week without any specific demands about museums, clubs/pubs or other things in that manner I'll make an argument for Copenhagen. Danes are cunts and Denmark is a shithole, but based on my visit in December it definitely seemed like a place where you could enjoy yourself for a few nice summer days.

Or you could always come to Gothenburg, first pints are on me.

Oslo, August 31st. Absolutely great. Simply a beautifully made film just like Reprise before it, Joachim Trier is a truly talented director.

What do you want to do?

I think it goes without saying that different cities have different strengths and weaknesses depending on what you are looking for.
