    They were never going to move it, the stadium was built primarily on the basis that it would be funded by corporate members and their ten guaranteed events a year (which include the FA Cup semi's). They simply can't afford to move it.

    Brilliant game for the neutral at Wrexham today. Wrexham went 2-0 up in 20 and then were 5-2 down at minute 63. Wrexham have just nicked it 6-5 in 90+8

    nearly similar world club friendly today - paphos (cyprus) v riga (latvia). paphos 2-0 up at half time. second half riga scored in minutes 66, 70, 77 to get 3-2 ahead. phobos scored in minutes 83, 86, 90 for a 5-4 win.


    edit: just realised that didn't quite add up - riga added their 4th in added time.

    Canada about 20 minutes from Qatar, leading Jamaica 2-0. I’ll have to get one of those 50/50 shirts NOT!

    Hatem Ben Arfa has been expelled from the Lille squad.

    Still falling out with people wherever he goes.

    A wasted talent and no mistake.


    What a bloody idiot.

    He could have been one of the all-time greats but instead he's destined to be remembered ignominiously for being pulled off before half time by a red faced Steve Bruce.


    I was pulled off by Steve Bruce is not something you'd want on your CV.



    Although it would make a good T-Shirt slogan for a certain niche market amongst the Gay community.





    Mebbee.

    Fat Fwanks Everton. :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    The first team in Premier League history to score two penalties in the 1st half, up against Burnley, who haven't had a penalty awarded this season, and haven't come back from behind yet this season either.

    Burnley 3 Everton 2.

    I'm currently working on my spring/summer 2023 collection and having given this due consideration, I've decided against. Thanks for the suggestion though. <ok>

    I'm still submitting a creative consultants fee though Chazz.

    He gave it due consideration.


    I can probably monitize the intellectual property rights of that.

    Manchester City's Cozy Ties to Abu Dhabi Sponsorship Money – Paid for by the State
    Since the sanctions imposed on Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich, links between English football clubs and authoritarian states have been in the spotlight. Internal documents show that Manchester City has received funding from a government agency in Abu Dhabi.

    Facing regular backlash, ManCity also invests significant amounts of money in defense off the field. Club leadership employs some of the best-known and most expensive lawyers in Britain in the attempt to ward off accusations made against the team’s business practices and to slow down investigations into rules violations.

    And there is apparently no lack of such violations. New findings from DER SPIEGEL and the journalism network European Investigative Collaborations (EIC) show that the holding company behind Manchester City appears to have violated the rules by paying millions in fees to player agents and also orchestrated a secret, triangular deal to sign an underage player. Numerous documents provided by the whistleblower platform Football Leaks provide a deep look at the club’s inner workings and at government agencies in Abu Dhabi – sufficient to inflict a few chinks in ManCity’s juridical defensive wall.

    Gulf dictatorships are allies of the West though and we need their oil now more than ever so nothing will come about it. That’s the hypocrisy of geopolitics.
