Wait

O'Sheas gay?

Obv.

[King Ellis]

More like O'Gay.

[IAceI]

John O'Gay EDIT: Ellis

I don't know if he actually is, but there was always that massive rumour that he was. Not sure if anything came of that, as I believe Justin Fashanu was the only open gay in football - and he certainly ain't doing much these days.

Hanging around mostly.

Also, I don't understand why Inter have a brick-shit-house-built black guy taking set pieces. The guy's 6'2, get in the box and shit 'em up, son.

Was gonna do the hanging around joke myself but I figured I'd give someone else a chance to finish it off.

[Matt]

Graeme Le Saux was gay wasn't he?

[IAceI]

From what I know Justin Fashanu was the only openly gay one. So obviously there are others but I don't think any of them have actually admitted it themselves.

[-A-]

No, footballers just mocked him because he was posh and liked reading in the changing room or something. He's married, I think.

I also heard that the O'Shea rumour was false, but I dunno. Wasn't he going out with some ludicrously hot woman for a while?

[King Ellis]

What's with the badge in the middle of the Man U shirt?

[IAceI]

A Champions League thing I assume so they can make more money off sales and/or differentiate in the changing rooms which ones which and/or brag.

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

John O Shit more like. How he missed that complete sitter I'll never know.

Nervous moments in the game, get Berbatov off because he's done fuck all, get Tevez on for christ sake.

It's the World Club Competition logo. It means something this year because United won it and not some random Japanese team

To show they won the World Club Cup.

United have been poor, Inter really should have equalised (at the very least). Andy Gray really doesn't like Ibrahimovic.

[-A-]

The World Club Championship's been won by three Brazilian teams, AC Milan and Man United. None of them slouches.

LCU de Quito were the finalists, who are some pretty unremarkable Ecuadorian team I do believe. I'm not sure how big the Copa Libertadores is South America but surely teams like River Plate, Boca Juniors, Sao Paulo, Internacional etc. are much better teams and would be more challenging in the CWC. So I wonder if their continental trophy is as important as the CL is to Europe?

EDIT: Amended a slight error.

EDIT 2: Then again Boca, Sao Paulo and Internacional have all made finals. And Porto once beat Monaco in the CL final which is possibly the equivalent of Quito winning the Copa Libertadores last year perhaps. So I'm kinda finding flaws in my own statement.

Quito won the Libertadores, not the CWC, which is what Matt was commenting on. The winners of the CWC are Corinthians, Sao Paulo, Internacional, Milan and Man United. Barcelona, Liverpool and Boca are teams that have lost this competition, there's nothing to do with 'some Japanese team' there.

I think I remember reading that Quito is owned by some immensely rich family/company who invested heavily in players for the one calendar year, which is easier to do in South America where the player and coach turnover is much higher. Regardless of which, it's like saying the CL is meaningless because Porto vs. Monaco was the final 5 years ago or the European Championships is worthless because Greece won it. Yeah, they were an upset winner, but that doesn't mean the competition is a joke.

Why can't Cristiano Ronaldo just die? ANSWER ME THAT?

[IAceI]

Because he's amazing. Is why.

If he got rid of his "WHY DO YOU HATE ME REF" arms out after every tackle he'd be flawless.

[The Future]

^^

That man speaks the truth.

I am pleased that Ronaldo's tracked back more then usual today, but I'd still take off Berbatov for Tevez..I fancy Tevez to get a goal after the hat trick against Fulham.

The Club World Championship is awesome, it lets you have the "World Champions"monicker plus it means you won the Champions League ^_^

To be fair, I said "some Japanese team" without even bothering to research who'd won it because my point wasn't who had won it, my point was that before United won it, the tournament never meant jack shit, United win it and suddenly it's a major trophy.

I second the Ronaldo dying thing though
