Some funny stuff in there from Jon Parkin, especially the Chris Sedgwick story.

"The opening 25 seconds of England's fixture against Switzerland will be broadcast in black and white for the first time in nearly half a century, in a move by The Football Association to honour Kick It Out’s 25th anniversary."

Whoever was supposed to do this forgot to press the button

They did it when the players walked out on to the pitch before the anthems. Bit odd to do it then really.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I was watching the immense spectacle of Poland vs Ireland at that point. Like watching Dave Bassett vs Micky Adams.

Martin Tyler is such an annoying bastard. Knows absolutely fuck all about the game and waffles away about barely related facts that happened in the past. Just tell us who's got the ball or shut up.

 

[The Bear]

Yeah he has a stupendous amount of knowledge about stuff no-one gives a shit about. Like the last time the teaks met 40 years ago. As if anyone wants to know or it has any bearing whatsoever.

Terry turns down Moscow. Vila bound afterall?

Said he's had an offer from Chelsea.

Their tea lady must have come down with a cold.

Villa's new owners made it VERY clear to our favourite thriller writer that Terry was off the agenda. Wages were going to ensure an FFP disaster.

London stadium owners advise they're running at a loss owing to the "rent" they're charging west ham.

porno dwarves know this paints them in a bad light as they're milking the club and therefore taxpayers. So they refute.

London stadium owners repeat their comments.

This could be fun...

 

[Del Woppio]

Whichever public sector schmuck gave West Ham that deal should be in fucking prison

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Works for me, two for the price of one.

It's awful for West Ham too as it is a shocking ground for football and they're tied in for what may as well be forever. Good for the Bongo Brothers though.

Roma are brilliant on Twitter.

Douglas Costa elbows a player in the face, gets a yellow card for a headbutt then FINALLY gets a red card (thanks to VAR not the Ref) when he spits in the face of an opponent

Sol Bamba says Cardiff will win more than they lose this season. Well you are 3-0 down Sol

 

[Premier Quality]

Really good article on Monaco here, mentioning their loss of Moutinho and not so successful acquisition of Pele...
