sauce?

Sad to say, two mates were working on the lift in the block of flats where he lives in Boscombe before Christmas. They said he was staggering around outside his penthouse at 10 in the morning in his dressing gown pissed out of his head waiting for taxi drivers to deliver his whisky. He also asked my mates to get him a few bottles. They're good lads and declined to err "help" him. So sad. He's had periods of being sober before so maybe this is just a pattern, maybe someone will give another crack at rehab. He was apparently doing well at the clinic he attended down here but looks like he's slipped off the wagon again. He probably needs the money from after dinner speaking to pay for his lifestyle, cant see there being anything left from his playing days (or after the agents and ex wife have finished with him)

2 good games does not a Viera make Very encouroging start mind.

Someone should tell Gerard Depardieu and half a dozen if our players then

His every move is also motivated by money and the need for maximum attention. He's pretty harmless tbh, but pointing out that he's motivated by money and vanity isn't going to hurt him too much either. Its why Fergie got rid of him, he ceased to be a footballer and became a 'brand'. I think he's utterly ridiculous, I mean why wait till the last day of the transfer window to announce your signing when your a free agent anyway? The charity gesture is undoubtedly motivated by the French tax laws. Fair play to the bloke, but pointing it out isn't anywhere near as cynical as the gesture itself. He gets away with it because he's a. probably a nice enough person b. careful not to provoke the press and c. physically beautiful, easier to give him an easy time PR wise than someone with a face like a burst welly. Well advised also and has enough common sense to listen to what they tell him and not get delusions of grandeur by going his own way.

75% top rate of income tax in France

Am sure they did a half B&W/half Brazil one when Mirandinha signed...think I remember seeing them in the sports shop bit* of Topman in Elsdon Sqaure....Howmanheyman would know, he probably had one, all I could afford was the ski hat * What the fuck was that called again?

just fuckin no.... http://www.toffs.com/Newcastle_France-Le-Toon-Retro-Football-Shirt/productinfo/1536/

He can only afford to make a fabulous gesture like that because of his history of being a vain, preening, money worshipping twat Steven so I woiuldnt beat yourself up about it mate

wouldnt diss a brother for that like

PSG still in the champions league.....coming off the bench in the final probably appeals. They got a very beatable Valencia in the next round. But aye, what a fuckin preening twat. Very good player in his day. Now his life is a roadshow of "look how pretty I am!!!"

Venables liked it for that reason...if youve got someone playing in the hole the spare man of the 3 could pick him up. KK played Southgate in there v Germany at Wembley in 2000. Think it was only a qualified success mind. He resigned in the showers at the end of the match. edit: if memory serves correct, Southgate was subbed at half time...

Martin O'Neil played 3 at the back at Leicester and Norwich, he was one of the biggest proponents of the system among top flight managers in this country but he hasnt used it for over a decade. Sir Alex Ferguson has never used it as far as I casn remember, and Sir Bobby only rarely, even when it was in vogue. Defending teams get mullered out wide, its easy to get the better of teams using it. But a he-she from Scandinavia thinks we should use it......lack of daylight in the winter months iyam

Is Rodney King banned?.....didnt know he was on here tbh....

If you disagree with it Steie its the editor that should be getting it in the neck, its his decision ultimately what goes to print.

Murphy didn't play non league, that's what counts him out. Kitson played for Hitchin Town, then Cambridge United, which also ties in with the book.

Been on night shift the last couple if weeks, have read "the secet footballer".....apparently its Dave Kitson, ex Reading and Stoke. Not a bad read, looks like he wrote the cloumn and book himself, fair play. Not a lot you didnt know/couldnt work out for yourself, and he's very opinionated, sees things exactly for what they are and knows what is important in life. Think he's blew all his money now mind and suffers from depression.

Had another think about it, spoke to some lads at work and may be going down this road now....no need for buying from the US, get a 32gig ipad2 and use a keyboard with it... http://store.apple.com/uk/product/HA500B/A/logitech-ultrathin-keyboard-cover-for-ipad?fnode=3e http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Logitech-Ultrathin-Keyboard-Cover-/321050610858?var=#vi-content Anyone use a keyboard with an ipad regularly?....and anyone know whats the best option if I want to get a sim card for 3g with an ipad?....is it best just to hook it up to your phone via wifi and use it's 3g/data plan? or should I just get an ultrabook/mac air thingy?....

Sounds like 'arrys got to his agent then

Its going to take 30 mins off journeys to Brum,Manchester and Yorkshire. Big wows. Your highly unlikely to schlep all the way out to Heathrow or Gatwick from central London atm to get a flight to Leeds anyway so what is the actual point? politicians vanity projects keeping huge engineering and building contractors happy?..you dont say?...33 billion

Yeah, paying a fee for a player with 5 months left on his contract is against every principle in the book as far as Ashley is concerned But he has to swallow it sometime and if hes saved a bit on some of the others then hes had to pay more for Sissoko to save us from fuckin relegation this season...why?...because he didnt strengthen in the summer!!!

Nah, not for me. Sissoko is the only one who's contract was about to expire and he was coming here in the summer anyway. Why would Mbiwa be worth 3-4 million more 5 months ago?...

Been said on here before but would us still paying much the same prices generally (and in some cases a lot less) for our season tickets in 2013 as we were in 2003 have a lot to do with the decreased income?...there again its a different world now, "austerity" etc...if they put prices up to the level of Spurs we'd maybe only be getting 35k in through the door,

Fuck me, 0.50 into that, I saw that volley v manu on Sportsnight with Harry Carpenter The goal v Watford too, and the volley for England just before that. thinking about it not seen many (any?) players who could volley a ball better than him.

Gazza could do more than Hoddle on a football pitch iyam. So could Peter Beardsley because theyd both graft their nuts off as well as the pretty stuff. Hoddle's trouble was he wanted to play in behind 2 strkers and not do any graft. Couldnt be logically accomodated in a 442. 53 caps says he got plenty of chances. Thats what theyd tell you, but loads of skillfull players like Hoddle have been accomodated in teams because of what they can do rather than what they cant. Didnt get a cap after the disater that was Euro 88 when England lost all 3 group games. If he played at SJP more than half a dozen times he'd be lucky...at spurs for 10 years or so 77-87, think we were in the second division for at least half of that time. I can remember him playing for Spurs clearly, but cant picture him in a game at SJP.
