    Bloody hell! Really? I am so out of touch. :) These sorts of figures seem (to me) to be percentage points of a country’s GDP. <laugh>
    Who will be the first billion pound player? How long before QPR will have to pay a trillion to release the likes of Gray from a year’s contract? ;)

    Post #7522 was posted a minute before #7521, and wouldn’t let me edit either. Nor did it include the quote from Toby. <doh>

    My post(s<doh>) were a reply to Toby.

    <laugh> I see they’ve changed the times of the postings! I should’ve taken a screenshot- the site was really weird this morning.

    Now abandoned!

    Apparently the PL Brazilian players didn’t travel so some are saying is this Brazil getting the game called off ?

    These players were told not to travel but did .

    This seems to be the Brazilian health authorities enforcing the law that says if you have been in the UK in the previous 14 days you must quarantine for 14 days. The four players may be deported for breaking the law.

    Well knowing FIFA they’ll probably punish both teams for failing to finish the game and Argentina for walking off.

    Whilst ticking Brazil off for Government interference in football which they hate .

    Such a tragic waste of a life

    Probably been better if he had died straight away giving the family closure rather than 39yrs of agonising hope that would never be fulfilled

    I guess they just couldn't let go or maybe hoped for some medical miracle?

    He was at some just being looked after by his wife who I guess must have been a nurse.

    Just watched France v Finland. France are not firing that well, and Finland are a very average side?

    There are a couple of decent looking players in the N. Ireland team playing Switzerland - left back Ballard and keeper Peacock-Farrell. I'm surprised Cathcart hasn't whispered in their ears...

    Administration looming for Derby.



    Really would leave them dead in the water.

    Cannot see Rooney sticking around.

    Sad to see a once proud club reduced to this by such crap owners
