The Football News Thread 2016/17 - everything not Wolves

[Langers]

Who's it supposed to be about? Pogba?

Yeah - forgot to mention that key aspect :icon_lol:

 

[Lycan]

It's almost believable up until the Boyz II Men reference... :icon_lol:

 

[Lord Knows]

BT Sport free for six months to all EE contract customers. Just sorted mine out and should be activated tomorrow. Appears I can only use my phone to access the app but I'm sure I can fudge some way to get the picture from there to a PC or TV.

 

[Nando]

Chromecast would do the trick.

Sorted mine this afternoon too. I'm happy enough to watch it on my phone but I do have a Chromecast too.

Oh dear!, just put the radio to find there's some sort of 50th anniversary celebrations since we won the World Cup going on at Wembley.
Fuck me you would have thought that the fact we haven't won a major football tournament for 50 years would be something you'd like to keep quiet.
I bet the Germans are pissing themselves.

 

[NorwayFB]

Norwegian minnows say no to Real Madrid.

Sweet. :icon_cool:

Apparently this year's Super cup is to be played in Norway, ridiculous really.

Worse still was the programme before the Euro's celebrating the fact that England heroically failed to reach the final of Euro 96 on home soil

 

[NorwayFB]

Wayne Rooney's decided to play for England two more years until the 2018 World Cup. Things are looking up people.

Tony Xia is a fucking weirdo.

And today he's tweeted this about Holloway's Championship prediction:

@Dr_TonyXia Dr. Tony Xia
A failed player, failed manager and now f***ed pundit. Don't bother reading at all!

:icon_lol:

 

[Boozad]

Saw that yesterday, brilliant stuff. I might start following Xia for the entertainment value, although it'll have to go a long way to beat Tim II's argument about his hair yesterday, bizarre stuff.

 

[Langers]

Sheffield Wednesday's squad numbers are fucked up. Steven Fletcher has the number 6 shirt!

Joe Wildsmith is number 2. And he's a keeper.

Gah - I hate this. Like Khalid Boulahrouz wearing number 9 for Chelsea a few years back. Stop it!!

I hope they don't find out about KJ's 'bomb squad' in 2013 or our former boss could be doing life.

Albion sold to a Chinese Investment Group

New owner is Guochuan Lai, a 42-year-old entrepreneur and controlling shareholder in Yunyi Guokai (Shanghai) Sports

 

[Tredman]

Now would be an appropriate time for a Harry Enfield meme, judging by the wealth of their new owners.

Edit - missed one of these :disco:

 

[Stan Hullis]

Am they richer than us? :icon_cry:

 

[Boozad]

No.

Pearce is walking away with a fair chunk of change out of this but most importantly we're mega rich
