Great news, welcome back Andy

[King Gizzard]

Saw a tweet about him playing golf with Chris Coleman and Charlottle Jackson the other day actually, which is odd considering what happened

[King Gizzard]

He was set up in that whole thing, funny how we never found out who the culprit was and it was just allowed to happen

[bbfan1991]

Oh gawd. I bet that other misogynist prat Richard Keys is secretly miffed he didn't get asked.

[Drew.]

BT Sport ‏@btsport 58s
Andy has a strong cup pedigree with Everton and we are delighted he can stand in for Michael Owen who is overseas this weekend.

Bollocks, its just a one off game whilst Owen is busy.

[King Gizzard]

#JusticeForKeysAndGray

[MTVN]

Hopefully they will reunite the dream team next season and give Owen the boot

[BBfanUSA]

Actually Colombia hasn't called up Montero for the national side in forever. Travesty, amazing player.

In the 2026 WC Bid campaign (Which is probably going to be held in North America I bet), Canada has expressed interest in a bid. They're hosting the Women's WC next year and have hosted Youth WCs in the past. (This will probably be their only hope for getting a WC Berth in upcoming cycles. )

[Brother Leon]

Was going to say BT just shat all over Sky's commentary then. Gray>>Quinn and Tyler.

Shame it's a one off though.

[MTVN]

Suppose he is still contracted to do Al Jazeera's coverage for at least the rest of this season

[Brother Leon]

Gray should do actual commentary for Al Jazeera. I swear their pre game show is them inviting Mike Phelan over to talk **** and Gray and Keys just laugh :laugh:

[King Gizzard]

and when you haven't been paid for months and nothing else is working then I suppose that's the boldest way you can show your anger in relation to the Santander strike

[bbfan1991]

Indeed, what a disgraceful way to be treated by TPTB there.

[King Gizzard]

and Santander are in the 3rd division so it's not as if they're all well paid players that can cope without being paid, bet they're on a below average wage annually

[King Gizzard]

just watching it now one of their keepers has no money and no place to stay so has been breaking into the training ground to sleep

[bbfan1991]

Poor guy:(.

The clubs for the International Champions Cup, A US Tourney will be announced tomorrow.
It's set across 13 cities this time. I imagine it will be a bunch of European clubs and then a MLS team (Last year it was LA Galaxy which won the MLS Cup the year before last year's tourney...might be them or Sporting Kansas City which won the MLS Cup last year)

Real Madrid won last year, Everton, Chelsea, Jueventus, International, AC Milan, Valencia were among the clubs that took part last year.

charlton pitch is cover up at the mo

[Shaun]

Shakhtar Donetsk striker Maicon Pereira de Oliveira died in a car crash in the Ukrainian city on Saturday, the club have announced.

In a statement on their website, Shakhtar said that the Brazilian, 25, was a "wonderful person".

"He was a talented footballer, open and friendly guy," the club added. "It is a terrible bereavement for each of us."

Maicon was on loan to Ukrainian league club Illichivets Mariupol until the end of the season.

He joined Shakhtar Donetsk on a free transfer in 2012 from fellow Ukrainian side Volyn Lutsk and made six appearances, scoring one goal.

The club have released no further details about the crash.

C: Spain, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Belarus, Slovakia, Ukraine

D : Germany, Gibraltar, Georgia, Scotland, Poland, Republic of Ireland

F: Greece, Faroe Islands, Northern Ireland, Finland, Romania, Hungary

G: Russia, Liechtenstein, Moldova, Montenegro, Austria, Sweden

H: Italy, Malta, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Norway, Croatia

I: Portugal, Albania, Armenia, Serbia, Denmark

Would expect us to get through that quite easily though could be fighting with Switzerland for first, dont fancy any of the other home nations chances

[bbfan1991]

Decent and easy draw for England, we better get through when Euro 2016 comes:p,

Ouch at the other home nation draws. Other groups interesting!

[Drew.]

437652803679309824

[King Gizzard]

but he's just given them loads of publicity and hits on their website so the mirror win

[Shaun]

Euro 2016 is being hosted by France, who qualify automatically, and will be made up of 24 nations, an increase from 16 in the current format.

Oooh. How will that work :suspect:

[King Gizzard]

like you have to be really really **** not to qualify

platini is a ****

[Shaun]

To accommodate the expansion from a 16 team finals tournament to 24 teams, the format will be changed from that used in 2012 with the addition of two extra groups in the group stage, and an extra round in the knockout stages. The six groups (A to F) would still contain four teams each, with the top two from each group still going through to the knockout stage. In the new format however, the four best third-ranked sides would also progress, leaving 16 teams going into the new round of 16 knockout stage, ahead of the usual quarter-finals, semi-finals and final, and only 8 teams going out at the group stage.

Oh. Hmm. Could be fun I guess. More matches, so can't complain really.

[BBfanUSA]

I myself don't really like the idea of having 24 sides but as long as they don't knock it sky high to 32 I won't bitch, qualifying should be interesting.

ESPN have the rights over here, which means more Ian Darke. Hopefully Fox don't try to grab the rights to that as well after it. (They have UEFA Champs League)

I think they'll show England's qualifying group over here. They've been showing England Friendlies and WCQ here recently.

Yaaaasss Aberdeen 2-1 against Celtic, suck me!!!

[King Gizzard]

he/celtic will be relieved it's over tbh, it was alot of pressure knowing the record was still intact

[Drew.]

was less than 2 games away from it too

[King Gizzard]

couldn't believe when my dad told me the other week he is going out with the winner of the apprentice

[Drew.]

that explains why she's always retweeting him

[Z]

Cannot believe we lost to Plastic Thistle at the weekend, such a wasted opportunity after Motherwell had been beaten by Dundee Utd!

[King Gizzard]

Zee the ultra hooligan at games throwing flares on the pitch and tearing up chairs

[Z]

Part of the casuals actually Nathan, wot u sayin m8

Can't wait to be back home and have a season ticket again though, I've missed it. Got to see the Dons play Motherwell a few weeks ago though, that was good

[King Gizzard]

[Legend killer]

Arsenal fans answer me this please did RVP stink up the place with you guys during this time of the year like has had with us

Don't want to go into his disgraceful vanishing act this time last year but recovering from injury or not his play has been dam right awful and has missed AT LEAST 10 sitters since returning the latest being last night.

I called him out last year after Madrid yet he still gets no criticism from the media etc which just boggles my mind

Guy is not fit to lace RVN'S boots and we need to get rid ASAP

[Drew.]

RVP has always had a **** attitude. When we had bad games he used to lash out at opponents and even national team mates like Krul. He used to argue with our own players too, Walcott put in his book how RVP wanted to fight him. Relieved hes not our problem anymore.

I said at the start of the season his downfall would begin this season, you've already seen the best of him.

[Legend killer]

His attitude is rotten but i'm talking more about his finishing

Both last year and now this year his finishing come the crunch end of the season is no existent is he a bottler or not???

[Drew.]

His finishing was usually always good, it's different though. He had wide players supplying him with good crosses he usually always finished which he's not getting now, Walcott got a ton of assists from RVP. He wasnt great in most of the big games and I can remember him missing massive chances in big moments. His downfall was inevitable though, he won't ever get his form back that he had during his last season with us. £26m was a great bit of business by Wenger. Saying that, RVP would still be more good to us than Giroud.

[Brother Leon]

Top scorer while being injured half the season and having pretty much one chance a match.



Can't score in a brothel...
--

The problem isn't RVP being past it this season. It's the 1960s tactics and play style that has took over. Not even Messi is doing **** with the way the players are set out.


As for Bottling it...Massive Goals at Stamford Bridge,Emirates,Etihad,White Hart Lane and Anfield...5* bottle job last season.

[Ryan57]

RVP's issue this season is the fact he doesn't like a no mark as manager. Who can blame him?

[King Gizzard]

That's a pretty good pull for your dad mate

:joker:

[Legend killer]

So what's the excuse for this baron run same time last year which cost us the Madrid tie??????

Our play has been BEYOND PATHETIC to be expected when your playing Tony and Ashley (fegie buys) yet he has still missed at least 10 sitters since his return he needs to take his loser mentality elsewhere i'm afraid

[Ryan57]

He should of been dropped last season during that baron run. Made no sense why Kagawa and Rooney were dropped for the Madrid game, yet RVP wasn't. All strikers go on baron runs, however. And without him we wouldn't of won the league anyway. This season doesn't count as he is totally disinterested and clearly doesn't like Moyes. Like some of the other players.

Even without Valencia and Young our play is still crap to watch. We could have Kroos, Iniesta, Ronaldo and Messi and we'd still play dire football under Dithering Dave.

There's a reason as to why so many Everton fans were pleased to see the back of him. Whilst I feel they are unappreciative a little, the problems they had with him are identical to what is happening at United.

To think he was being talked about as a possibility for Brazil a few months ago lol

[the truth]

well man utd have got a crap midfield , mata was missing (where was he) young and valencia arent good enough
cleverly is unproven still
carrick is ok at times but limited

so rooney ends up playing ummmm centre midfield / right wing etc
then you have rvp whose work rate is very poor, then hes been injured supposedly and is also missing chances

even the fullbacks are long in the tooth oh and not even the old wizard giggs can be called on to save the day any more because hes older than gandalph

the teams a mess

If it turns out to be Cole the tabloids and gossip mags will dine off it for months, I don't think it will be though

Though I don't have a clue who it could be, presume it won't be someone who's been in a high profile relationship with a female celeb at any point

[Drew.]

It must be Henderson

[Brother Leon]

:joker: that tweet.

It's not Henderson though. Liverpool fans would hang him for going to The Sun.

Probably Cole,Smalling or Welbeck tbh. Whoever it is has probably booked their plane ticket to Rio though.

It's apparently a fake journo anyway.

Obviously I'm not arsed who it is... idfc if it was Hart or Milner, but I am sure it's neither, if the tweet is true.

[King Gizzard]

yeah, whoever it is I think they must be an important player if they're ready to come out and back their ability to handle the pressure/abuse that will no doubt come with it now

Uh, the Sun is crap right?

Why not Sky Sports or something?

[King Gizzard]

they're not much better

Curious.

Half of me would be disappointed if this turned out to be a hoax, because it would be historic and a great step towards wider acceptance of homosexuality, but the other half hopes it doesn't turn them into another "hero" figure when really they're just a normal sportsman trying to get on with their life.

[Shaun]

For what it's worth, the guy who made the original tweet has said it's not Cole (didn't really think it was tbh).

It's going to be one of the new players, and probably someone younger who feels more in line with society than archaic football etiquette.

In fact I'm pretty sure he hit on my tutor's daughter last year on a night out, I remember her telling me, I'm pretty sure it was him or Barry anyway.

Probably Barry. He was exposed around the time of the Ryan Giggs saga.

RE gay footballer news. I don't think it is Smalling, have you seen his girlfriend Sam Cooke? Don't think she would be the type to be a beard and they've been photographed at various United dos before.

Rumours about Henderson or Shaw though? Adam Lallana got married, so it is definitely not him.

At least Barca are not after DDG, rubbish stories linking Real Madrid with him though. De Gea is settled at United now and loves it there, plus with his love for Atletico and his whole family supporting them don't think he would even consider joining Real.

Probably tactics in trying to get a new contract with Bayern, but interesting if he does want to move to the Premier League?

Football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo went above and beyond a humble charity request when he offered to pay for a young boy’s brain surgery.

Ronaldo, a father of one, was asked to donate a jersey and his football boots for a charity auction raising money for Erik Ortiz Cruz, a 10-month old suffering from cortical dysplasia. The rare condition causes seizures up to 30 times a day.

The Real Madrid star came through with that request, but then went one step further, covering all costs of the expensive brain surgery to remove the abnormal part of the young child’s brain.

The procedure costs €60,000 (AUD$92,000) and tests are around €6,000 (AUD$9,000) each.

It’s not the first time the Ballon d’Or winner has shown exceptional generosity.

Two years ago Ronaldo assisted in paying for treatment of a young cancer patient in Spain.

At least he has stopped lots of non stop stories that would have lasted till the Summer if he had stayed quiet and glad his stance is clear in declaring his true feelings!

The Human League - Don't You Want Me is currently up at #11 on iTunes.

Cant beleive how much Rashford has come on in the past few months. He's looking like a mature centre forward.

Agree. As a United fan I'm in two minds as to if I want him to be in the England squad. Maybe it would be better for United if he was not but for his sake I hope he is.
He seems way more mature than 18.

[Drew.]

Still not overly convinced with Rashford. Can't doubt some of his finishes have been decent, but a majority of his goals have come from deflections or lucky bounces falling his way when hes in space.. one of the only solo goals he's produced was against City. Apart from his goal y-day he was appalling, i think he must have lost the ball nearly every time he had it and he wasted some decent chances

Thought everyone in Hull had been too busy watching rugby yesterday to noticeEleven thousand at the KC stadium yesterday, to watch the mighty Hull FC return to the top of the Super league. Plus Hull Kingston Rovers (Scum), took a decent following to the South of France to see them get whipped by the Catalan Dragons.

So that's a huge reason why the Hull City end was half empty, and a lot of Hull people also paid out a lot last weekend to go down to Newcastle for the Magic weekend.

Poor organising of fixtures at the end of the day.


I went to the KC stadium, rugby league comes way before football for me, Rugby League is Sports greatest secret, if you had it in your life, you would agree.

[Mystic Mock]

They've asked on BBC Sport which players would you put in the starting 11 leading up to the qualifying of the 2018 World Cup?

I decided to not just pick brand names, and I've decided to pick on form.

GK - Hart
RB - Walker
CB - Cahill
CB - Smalling
LB - Rose
RM - P. Jones
CM - Drinkwater
CM - Alli
LM - Albrighton
ST - Vardy
ST - Rashford

The two strikers looked lively against Iceland for the short time that they was on.

And the midfield needed an overhaul from the likes of Wilshere and Henderson.

MLS all stars v Arsenal at 12.30, will give it a watch if Gedion plays

Gedi will hopefully get some game time, made an appearance the other night against Lens and looked on form

[Novo]

you better take good care of Gedi, he is an old firm legend now

The likes of Wilshere starting over Gedi gives you the shudders
