    Anyone see one of the worst penalty decisions for, well I was going to say ages, but it’s probably since last season.
    Rangers got this against them!

    About bloody time too.

    Fingers crossed they build on these training courses and add content such as "it's wrong to kick a cat across the room" and "make sure she's 16" content.

    It's a bit like Cluedo is this...

    Hmm, neither the player nor the club are under investigation...who does that leave? :emoticon-0126-nerd:

    Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka's yellow card against Leeds is being investigated by the National Crime Agency amid suspicions of a MAJOR scandal following suspicious betting activity into his booking

    There has never been any suggestion of any wrongdoing by Xhaka or any other Arsenal player.

    The alarm was raised by an unusually large bet of about £52,000 placed during the match on Xhaka to be booked in the final 10 minutes despite the fact that Arsenal were winning 4-1.

    The Switzerland midfielder was booked by referee Andre Marriner for time wasting in the 86th minute as he delayed taking a free-kick.

    Leeds? To be on the safe side shut them down, bulldoze Elland Road and build social housing on the site. Maybe nothing to do with them but you can never be too careful.

    Social housing? I'd suggest a landfill site. It would increase the local house prices.

    Or do what the Romans did at Carthage and plough salt into the soil so nothing will grow there again.

    La Liga have rejected Barcelona's attempts to register 5 summer signings (Lewandowski, Kounde, Raphinha, Kessie, Christensen) and 2 contract renewals (Dembele, S Roberto). Club must raise more funds before league campaign gets underway in 8 days.

    I heard someone say that the Spanish government bailed them out. Then thought that doesn't meet any fair play rules. Its probably a load of rot.

    The Spanish Gov't are prone to bailing out Real Madrid, they have in the past also bailed out several teams, including Barcelona - I seem to recall dodgy tax deals to help their teams out too.

    Great to see the scousers dropping two points so early against an unfancied team.

    Just need to negotiate the incoming pundits jizz fest for Arsenal.

    A footballer missed his own wedding day in order to complete a transfer to a new team - sending his brother to take his place instead.

    Sierra Leone international Mohamed Buya Turay signed for Swedish side Malmo this summer after a spell in China. His new club were keen for the 27-year-old to link up with the squad as soon as possible, which led to him missing his own wedding.

    Good to see Lampard & Gerrard reignite their rivalry.

    This time it’s which one of them will be sacked first.

    Bale still looks as if he has something to offer.
