    You are more forgiving then me. But at least they admitted their wrongs. Most footballers don't.

    On another note:

    Leicester close to the joint signing of Adrien Silva and Slimani for around €70m.

    Oh absolutely re the first point. People can learn, but if they don't, then **** them - they can have some of Sotonsaints justice!


    Leicester seem to be doing some great business this season.

    At the real risk of taking this more off subject. Alonso did not face trial, thrown out for 'taking too long' or some such bollocks. Got a driving ban thats all. He has not expressed regret. There were many rumours of backhanders and payoffs, all I'm sure untrue.
    Anyway he's soiled the transfer thread enough.

    So he should be barred from his profession for the rest of his life?

    I can't understand why WBA don't just offload Berahino, rather than rejecting anything which isn't a massive offer. He doesn't want to be there, he hardly scored a goal for them last season, they'll lose him on a free transfer in 12 months time if they keep him, and unless bridges are repaired (even if just temporarily) they'll have the next 12 months of negativity from both parties on the training ground and in the dressing room for that whole time.

    If you MURDER someone then yes, 25 years minimum is fair enough. However, if you unintentionally kill someone, although serious and deserves a prison sentence, does not mean your life should be completely ruined. I think a minimum term of 10 years for causing death by dangerous driving would be fair.

    I should of stated I meant murder,my apologies.

    With drink driving you drive knowing full well the risks and if you hit someone then only your self to blame, just as bad as murder in my book.

    Leicester are spending some big money. Really going for it whilst at the top. Fair play to them and their ambition.

    'Killing' someone is murder or manslaughter and each have their own criteria, you can't have a blanket punishment "no arguments" to cover everything.

    Indeed. I'm just surprised that they've waited until the end of the window.

    Well no, if you murder someone you mean to go out and kill them. If you drink drive you're being an arse, but you don't go out with the expressed intent of taking a life. Far from it.

    Maybe it takes some time to sign players after negotiations, post Euros, negotiating to see if current players stay.... Maybe it hasn't been us being bad, not having everything in place at the start of the window!

    I don't think they've "waited" that's just the process.

    Sorry must have posted the same time as you so didn't see this.

    The whole point of murder is your intent to kill/commit GBH, hence drink driving cases not being murder.

    Well, I believe he has murdered his attempt at growing even a Lallana TwatBeard.

    Liverpool wont want him until that fluff comes on just a little more.


    And Nivea have put their sponsorship on hold until he reaches proper puberty.
