Was the trumpeter at the Huddersfield Albion game on bloody speed, horrendously quick and completely ruined.

Former England boss Roy Hodgson says Tottenham striker Harry Kane was on corner taking duty during Euro 2016 because he "wasn't scoring goals" and was was the "best deliverer of the ball". (Daily Express)

That’s even more baffling regardless of his England form at the time he was still the best goal threat in the team.

Looks like the Oystons have finally been done over. The High Court has ruled they owe Valeri Belokon £31m.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Such a shame. I hope the cunts go bust.

Looks like Evra has been banned until June 2018 by UEFA

And Marseille have wasted no time in reacting: they've just terminated his contract.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Formality really, he was only contracted to the end of the season.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

And the Oystons have responded by immediately putting Blackpool up for sale.

I suspect the price for Belokon will be just about £31m...

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Belokon won't be able to take over, he'll be disqualified as he has a money laundering conviction in Kyrgyzstan.

They've already banned him (I never said they applied their own rules consistently )

 

[Derby Wolf]

As an aside Ben Toner as due to referee Blackpools game today but he was moved to the Carlisle game owing to the Oyston case and the added scrutiny it will bring.

I doubt it's anything to do with what you get if you read his name out loud whatsoever... :icon_lol:

All the best to him although it doesnt sound good..

 

[Langers]

Saw this on Facebook earlier. Really made me laugh.

 

[Trips]

Saw this on fb the other day. Bullshit though isn't it, wasn't Robson managing Middlesbrough when Cantona attacked the fan?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Yep, January 1995.

A lot of these after-dinner stories make for reasonable entertainment but they're total bollocks. Or if you're Dean Saunders, you can make up stories about a dead man and his alcoholism.
