    To be fair I haven't booked anyone for dissent this season. It hasn't been bad at all. I've been able to get by just by having words when needed.

    Change isn't always good.

    I agree that it will be a completely different sport in 5-10 years and I'm not sure I'll like it.

    Lovely to see Mbappe donating 27,000 to the pilot search fund.

    A young talented man with a mature head on his shoulders.

    Yes, he can afford it but a small gesture will go a long way with david ibbotsons family.

    Well done sir.

    He donated to the original search for the plane as well.

    Thailand have released Hakeem Al-Araibi, the footballer arrested whilst on honeymoon. Bahrain withdrew the arrest warrant. He is expected to return to Australia.

    Aaron Ramsey signs contract with Juve worth 83.2 million pounds over the duration.
    Football has gone mad.

    They should sell him to West Ham after two months. Its the only way they are going to make this deal good for them. Seriously, when Ronny see's him play, he'll be asking for a million a week!

    Paul Scholes going into management. Of all those of that Man Utd golden generation he was the one I enjoyed watching play more than any of them. Truly great player. When he came on as a sub when United were 2-1 down at SMS the first time we played them after promotion you just knew he'd change the game.

    A very private and modest guy too. Lots of great players don't make the transition to management. Interesting times in Oldham - which is not a phrase you can use very often!

    It isn't uncommon for a player on a free to get more in wages, because you don't have the outlay of a transfer fee, but yeah...that's insane. Even if you rationalize it as a player who'd have commanded a 40m fee, you'd still be talking about over 200k p/w in basic salary. Aaron Ramsey should not be getting that.

    Well when you look at it like that Fraser should be putting in for a rise in his next annual appraisal.

    **** me, no wonder the man is depressed earning so little compared to Ramsey <whistle>

    Applied for England v Netherlands tickets today. It's a lottery system basically, with those able to purchase, to be selected at random. Looked at the stadium where the game will be held. It's only 30,000!!! Portugal's 8th biggest. Both Benfica's stadium (65,000), and Sporting's (50,000), aren't going to be used at all. What the **** are UEFA thinking?

    A great keeper in the right place at the right time. Always remember when we won the WC....people driving around blasting their car horns...waking up the morning after feeling on top of the world.

    The 2018/19 season is in danger as been remembered as the black armband season.
    So many sad events have taken place. Be glad to consign it to history.
