Every time I hear that expression I can't help but remember Steve Buscemi in Reservoir Dogs playing the world's smallest violin for the waitresses. Far more deserving than Messi of course! Also wondering why PSG needed to pay him quite so much. After all, where else could he go? If he wanted a huge payment then there's pretty much only one place to go and as that one place, surely PSG could have negotiated a better deal. Perhaps goes to show that money (and indirectly FFP) means nothing to them.
He gets fouled, if anything. Gets the ball first and if there's any contact, then it's mutual. Both players have their feet quite high. Ref made his decision purely on the reaction of the player. Glad the cheat got knocked out.
And this is why we shouldn't have anyone with a long history of being associated with sportswashed clubs within a five mile radius of our coaching staff... Jack Grealish says a conversation with former Aston Villa assistant manager John Terry helped him decide to leave the club for Manchester City. (Daily Mail)
You read the Daily Mail????? I'm truly shocked!!!!! I wouldn't go "within a five mile radius" of it, HBIC!!!!
I'm guessing there was no VAR in these qualifiers because there was no/minimal contact made and, as you said, Bonke gets kicked first. Surely, a VAR review would overturn that? Unless it's not deemed a 'clear and obvious error' (which seems to be entirely subjective in itself).
The reason players rarely hand in official transfer requests is because it voids their loyalty bonus.
Some speculate that this is why Kane has pretty much done everything but hand in the official request though. Partly optics, partly money.
**** me. Messi is only on the £25m + £52m a year. Reckon '£37bn Dido' wouldn't get out of bed for that...
The fact the woman who got the job looks uncannily like Dido Harding is somehow hilarious and terrifying
