A nice subtlely understated ceremony.

El Diego never likes to make a big show

Absolutely. Such a retiring demeanour.

It seems that we as taxpayers are subsidising the search for sponsors for west hams stadium.
Fucking disgraceful. Why are they not covering that cost themselves? It is almost like their acquisition of the stadium comes with numerous additional subsidies.
Fucking bastard pornodwarf cunts.

Premier league prediction.

Wolves 9th

Potentially the most exciting team to have ever entered the Premier League from the Championship, Wolves could well surprise everybody this term. Under the guidance of manager Nuno Espírito Santo, the West Midland club completely dominated the second tier last season, winning the division with ease on 99 points. They’ve got an extremely talented squad at their disposal, with the likes of Portuguese international Ruben Neves pulling the strings in central midfield, and will bring plenty of flair to the top flight this season. Wolves have made some fantastic signings in this summers transfer window, they’ve captured the permanent signatures of three players who really impressed on loan at the club last season in the form of front man Leo Bonatini, centre-back Willy Boly & left-winger Diogo Jota, which will make them such a strong outfit this term. Raul Jimenez has also been drafted in on a season long loan from Benfica, so we can see Wolves causing some real problems this time around.

The Rui Patricio signing really has gone under the radar!

Zola joins Sarri at Chelsea as his assistant manager.

Alex oxlade-chamberlain out for most of the season,due to his champions league semi final injury,klopp said this season is just rehabilitation for him

 

[Nando]

Sad news that. He was excellent for them once he settled in and the best part of 18 months out is hard to recover from.

 

[The Bear]

I read that he damaged every ligament in his knee. Hard to see him being the same player again if that's true.

 

[PuntsWolf]

I read ACL and MCL. Far from ideal but it’s not uncommon for the MCL to take a bashing when the ACL goes. Having it operated on immediately and being young and been forced through intense rehab he has the best chance, certainly better than you or I.

The prognosis of knee operations these days has progressed rapidly.

Fuck's sake Rangers fans:
