Yeah, no one's disagreeing Sterling isn't worth anywhere near 50m.

29m for Firmino seems a bit steep. Just the 7 goals last season.

ISIS using fucking Whatsapp.

What happened to the good old days of terrorists sending over VHS tapes recorded in a cave in the middle of nowhere?

Welbeck wasn't in the squad, but Walcott has 5.

So that's 13 between the other 21..

The entire 23 man England squad has scored 66 goals between them. Rooney has 48 of those.

That's a mental stat.

Luckily Newcastle have the option to extend his contract to 8 years.

It's like Rangers and Newcastle are competing to be the most fucked up club in the UK. Every time one does something that you think has won it, the other finds something else even worse.

La Liga player of the months. Can't help but feel it's missing something.

You'd need a minimum of 2 years notice for any of those countries to be ready.

It's one of the biggest events on the planet, you can't just hold it on a whim. There's huge amounts of preparation. There'd be well in excess of 1 million people going to it.

It won't happen though, the appeal processes would go on for so long there wouldn't be enough time.

Milner's a decent signing.

Ings is not. I don't see what he adds, they already have enough average strikers not good enough to be starting.

They'll exaggerate all the woman's ratings to stop them bitching about how they're being sexist towards men.

Yeah, as much as people try to say otherwise, the only thing that counts in La Liga is the top 6 or so, even then probably 3-4. The rest is utter shite. One for their quality and two for the fact they expect to lose against the top 2 so treat it as such, compared to the bottom few in the EPL who treat games against the top sides as cup finals.

He had a 75% win ratio, ridiculous


I think that says more about La Liga than him.

To win it you're generally looking at 80%+ whereas the EPL is about 60-70%. So 75% in La Liga is probably comparable to 60-65% in the EPL, which is what City have this year and Pellegrini looks like he'll be sacked.

Sterling being 'greedy' is the biggest crock of shit I've heard.

When Nasri, van Persie, Cesc left it all wasn't about greed from the tabloids. It was about bettering their careers at better clubs. It's exactly the same case here and the Liverpool bias among today's media is pretty fucking absurd.


It's not the same at all.

RVP and Fabregas had been at Arsenal for about 8 years each. Fabregas left to go to his boyhood club and RVP left as he wanted to win trophies after a long time at Arsenal and due to his age was running out of time.

Sterling has just broke into the team within the last 2 years and he wants to jump ship already when he's only 20 and has done fuck all yet.

You do realise he's scored 10 of his 25 goals against teams in the Top 6?

Which is the same as he's scored against teams in 7th-19th.

So basically, he's a lazy bastard when it comes to lesser teams and he only turns up in big games. The Yaya Toure effect, if you will.

A front 3 of Depay, Rooney and (a good) Di Maria, with Mata in behind, would be insane.

Chelsea are going to win the league with the lowest Goals Scored and the lowest shots per game for about a decade.

They deserve to win it, but they have been pretty boring.

Who Scotland are predicted to vote. Yellow is the SNP. The entire map is yellow, 59/59 seats. Yet the conservatives will still win and be our government.

But how long will that take? a few minutes? 5?

People will pretend to be concussed so that someone else can take there place for 5 minutes. I can guarantee it. Diving and play-acting like this in Football is far worse than any other sport.

Imagine a club has made 3 subs and someone is concussed, whether actually or pretending, and the person who takes there place scores the winning goal. The doctor then decides the player who went off can't continue and the person who took there place also has to come off as the club have made 3 subs already.

And more importantly, how would that be reflected in my Fantasy Football team?

This is football though.

Within a couple weeks teams who have already made 3 subs will have players being 'concussed' so they can bring on some fresh legs/an extra defender/attacker etc.

Drogba will stop rolling about on the ground when he dives and instead pretend to be knocked out.

It's usually the player/agent that forces it. The cheaper the transfer free the higher the signing on fee for them.

If it's the option of buying them with the clause or not buying them at all, you're obviously still going to go for it.

They said the winds were similar to a category 2 cyclone. I have no idea what that means though.

I wish it would pass through, the wind and rain is fucking ridiculous. Been like this since Sunday.

150kph winds, hammered it down with rain for about 72 hours non stop and 210,000 homes without power.

Sydney's fucked.

Parts of Manly being evacuated as they think the dams about to burst.

The best stat is that City haven't won a league game where they have been behind at half time in 20 years.

20 years ffs
