That’s awful news - whip round for Hughes tomorrow? :emot-fuckoff::emot-fuckoff:

Grzegorz Krychowiak fined by Albion for refusing to shake Pardew's hand when he was subbed (may have also called him a cunt, but you can't fine someone for telling the truth).

A nice saving of £108k for Albion this week

Things getting worse for Sunderland. Darron Gibson arrested for crashing and writing off a load of cars while allegedly over the limit...on a match day! That's worse than Roger the Relegator.

Isn't he the one that went on a mildly xenophobic rant earlier in the season, too?

 

[Tredman]

Looking at the damage he's lucky he didn't hurt someone. Should be a jail sentence.

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

Eyewitness accounts say he was doing about 70mph in a 30mph zone. He has a previous drink driving conviction too. He should definitely be facing a jail sentence.

Row of parked cars he hit according to what I just read.

I read he was doing 60 in a 30, the cars look a right state too.

 

[Alan]

MPH? You lot use MPH?

 

[Tredman]

I know, it's very backward.

 

[Alan]

Next you'll be telling me you don't actually drive on the left side of the road.

[Alan]

Do you not!?

 

[The Bear]

KPH is stupid.

 

[Tredman]

Having a favourite speed measurement is really stupid

 

[Alan]

Hang on, I'm serious. You drive on the right side of the road?

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

We drive on the left.

 

[Alan]

*phew*

My whole world was coming apart at the seams, there.

 

[BillyDee]

We drive on the right side of the road. Which is the left.

Excellent interview with Per Mertesacker, who's retiring at the end of the season to become a youth coach at Arsenal.

Especially good is the stuff about the psychological toll football takes on players nowadays.
