Do they save some or spend it all,I wonder.Bobby Smith was born in a wrong age.He got his (?) 20 quid a week and was off to the bookmakers!
 
It's the tenth anniversary of Bobby Robson's death and I spotted this clip featuring Andre Villas-Boas talking about him:

He's at Marseille now. Still only 41.

N’Jie live streamed himself having sex.

Apparently it was because he was celebrating signing for Dynamo Moscow and got carried away on the booze <laugh>

His official line is he wanted to look at new news on his phone mid-coitus and hit the wrong button

This sounds a lot like the stories they hear in A&E departments about how exactly the broom handle got stuck there...

Kevin-Prince Boateng has signed for Fiorentina. Played for a bewildering number of good clubs.
 
I shouldn't make a comment about how Famalicao's social media bod was apparently on holiday for three months, but since I can't post a simple tweet and instead had to scour the team's site I will...

How does he go from League Two Plymouth to a top-flight Portuguese team on a four-year deal, wearing number 10?
Given that Bordeaux were also linked with him, I assume that he had a much better season than the rest of his team, who were relegated.

There's a few factors to this

While he was playing at a League One team last season, his record of 11 goals and 9 assists in a relegation-threatened team means he was arguably a Championship-standard player last season - which is actually quite useful in Portugal, because once you get past Benfica, Sporting, Porto and arguably Braga the level of quality in the Portuguese top flight rapidly becomes Championship-standard - and considering that Famalicao were last in the top flight 25 years ago and have dropped as far as the fifth tier in the intervening period, plus they have a 7500-seat stadium, Lameiras could be a pretty smart signing for them, especially since a large chunk of their summer transfers have been loaning in untested prospects from Atletico, Benfica, Braga, Wolves and...Stoke?

BBC article about Orient's first match back in the football league and their tributes to Justin Edinburgh:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49135888

"Fittingly, it was Josh Wright - the last player signed by Edinburgh - who scored the winning goal to defeat the Robins". <ok>
I watched a bit of Salford V Stevenage (because it was on at a decent hour over here!) there was a JE banner there as well. Was there a connection to Stevenage or was it just a sign of respect, the latter i think.

Salford's manager, Graham Alexander, attended Justin Edinburgh's funeral, so perhaps he had something to do with it?
Not sure how they knew each other, barring managing opposing teams, though.
