Louis Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 I'm not a Chelsea hater, but it is a bugbear of mine that nobody in the press asks how they were able to sign players under the age of 18 from Africa. Bertrand Traore, who made his debut for Burkina Faso at 15 has been with them since 2010 and played for them in pre-season. They also have an 16 year old Ivorian and signed his 28 year old brother to keep him company, yet no questions are ever asked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cake Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Papisse (sp) Cisse mentioned briefly in news this morning he's set to 'star' for Newcastle for the first time in a friendly against St Mirren after his dispute over Wonga being on the skunks shirts. Weren't Virgin Money their sponsors last season? What do Virgin Money do, amongst other things? Loans, credit cards........

Cake Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Good Lord! Living in The Midlands I can remember him being on local news, etc, when he signed on loan for BCFC - was a big deal for them and he did alright from what I can remember.

Romey 1878 Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 Knew we could rely on rain in Manchester . Pity we couldn't just rely on our own batsmen though :shaking fist: . The wins in the first two Tests just papered over the cracks in that respect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalziel Kane Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 just gave the player a mention. Sorry to learn of todays news. Accomplished center forward that did outstanding at Fulham, fell away a little at MUFC before we brought him in and really stood out at times. A pity he wasn't able to duplicate his domestic form for France. I wish him well in whatever he decides to undertake from here on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cake Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 Just watching Community Shield highlights and I see we have another season of Andy Townsend, aka Young Ron Atkinson, as a pundit/expert to look forward to. Jumpers for goalposts, isn't it - he's more of an arl arse than me and that's saying something! Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumpers for goalposts, isn't it - he's more of an arl arse than me and that's saying something! It's not just those mentioned, but many more you could think of. One main reason why I don't want the start of the new soccer season. An overall collection of some of the most boring, mundane and belligerent individuals you could find. If I ever view a highlights program next season it will be for Everton only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, they put on 109 for the first wicket do you'd expect them to go on to win from there when only chasing 299. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuck me it gets worse - Alan Hansen of all things. Mourinho as manager is adequate, but there's plenty of better candidates for that position. But it's only a bit of fun. (or nonsense) would have at least had Lev Yashin as goalkeeper and Puskas or Di Stefano included. And where's Platini ? Sibdane 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
