    ****ing great idea, at the moment you've got a 50/50 chance of getting a drink and pie at half time and not missing any football, that extra 5 mins will make ALL the difference at the KCOM

    edit...extra 10 mins.....nailed on, 2 pints and a pie. Happy days

    Sad


    For Neil Taylor and his Swansea City team-mates, Sunday, 27 November 2011 felt like a typical Premier League match day.

    On a crisp, clear afternoon, there was a hum of anticipation as supporters filled the Liberty Stadium for the visit of Aston Villa in the day’s early televised game at 13:30.

    With kick-off a little over an hour away, Taylor was focused. His pre-match preparations and rituals done, the Wales international was ready.

    Swansea captain Ashley Williams gathered his players for a huddle in the changing room before stepping out on to the pitch to warm up, the sounds of a capacity crowd filtering through the tunnel.

    Then, as he did before every game, manager Brendan Rodgers approached his team. Only this time, it was not to discuss tactics.

    "Brendan just came and pulled us out of the changing room to a back room," Taylor recalls.

    "He said: 'Listen, we think Gary Speed has passed away.'

    "It's hard to explain moments of shock but I think we just sort of didn't believe it or thought it was going to be one of those silly rumours or whatever. Your first question is: 'How do you mean?'

    "And then we heard it was possibly suicide. Then someone said it had been confirmed by Shay Given, who was in the opposite changing room for Aston Villa. He was a good friend of his from his time in Newcastle. He'd confirmed it."

    Taylor could not process what he had just heard. He felt numb.

    Speed, the much-loved Wales manager, a midfield great of the Premier League era, had taken his own life. His body was found by his wife Louise at their home.

    JUVENTUS UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR FALSE ACCOUNTING

    La Gazzetta dello Sport reports Juventus President Andrea Agnelli, Vice-President Pavel Nedved and former sporting director Fabio Paratici, now at Tottenham Hotspur, are under investigation for false accounting and movement of €50m in the capital gains case.

    The newspaper reports the Guardia di Finanza arrived at Continassa today to gather information and collect all the necessary documents, as Juventus are under investigation in relation to the seasons between 2018 and 2021.

    A dossier was opened by the Turin Public Prosecutor’s Office after CONSOB and COVISOC investigations into the capital gains cases in Serie A.

    here's some petty small minded bigotry.

    it's an unfortunate side-effect when certain types start believing in sky fairiesand waging wars with people who believe in different sky fairies or believing that other people wear the wrong clothes or say the wrong words while worshipping the same sky fairy that they worship properly.

    Lifted from the comments section of the Chelsea Man U game.

    If you were as rich as Abramovich, once you had gotten bored of the all your super yachts, the supermodels, your own private mini submarine, would you not just throw any amount of money needed, it would barely be chump change to him anyway, and buy a field, some Beyonce ass'd cows, send out your minions to scoop up every banjo within a 10 mile radius of the bridge, and just let Timo Werner have at it, al day long, just to find out once and for all, definitively, absolutely, if he somehow could?

    4,452 super-fans. #Iwasthere

    Look at the raw emotion on the terraces. There was a reason.

    I’ve just seen that Danny Drinkwater, the £35 million Chelski player is at Reading! I seem to recall Chelski fans saying they’d robbed Leicester, & Leicester fans were really pissed off!
    Also Andy Carroll scored for Reading against Swansea at the weekend!
    No idea where to put this, so instead of starting a new thread for this I thought I’d just put it in here!

    Would you welcome someone into your home if they constantly berated and belittled you?

    Andy Carroll went off limping last weekend, hope it's something to keep him out a couple of weeks. :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    you seem to think there's a parallel. i'm not in the habit of having media people into my home for any reason.

    do you think it was right for the allams to stop having radio humberside commentary on hull city matches or do you think they were right to sulk and stop commentaries for years?

    I never asked you if you allowed media people into your home and I never drew comparison with radio Humberside and Hull City.

    I was attracted to your comment by your use of the word 'bigotry'...

    Justin is a great bloke. It is always a pleasure to speak to him, something that I do on a very regular basis.

    The banter between Stan McEwan and Justin revolves around Celtic and Rangers. Justin was signed by Celtic, but never played in the first team and so Stan refers to this time as "When you was a ball boy!"

    Wasn't that our first win in eleven games? Of course I was there too.
