Can't really compare him to Pep, when he's used to adopting players like Messi and Muller, and Giggs would be taking McNair and Love under his wing.

Ryan Giggs doesn't have wings. He isn't a bird. You trollop.

[Benji]

He's a left winger, maybe he takes them under there.

According to Adam Johnson, Sunderland knew about the text messages etc as far back as last year. Really hope that isn't true.

Also, this:

"Your honour, his penis and testes look like eggs in a birds nest"

So, allegedly, he admitted to Margaret Byrne, The CEO that he'd exchanged messages, sent pictures to and had kissed the girl. Absolute disgrace the way this has been handled if true. I made a point earlier about the club acting accordingly but if he's admitted to the club from the start everyone involved needs sacking/forced to resign with immediate effect.

My old boss was mates with one of Sunderland's physios. Apparently he's been pretty open about it from the start.

The Mayor of London has rubber-stamped formal final approval for us to go ahead and build out new stadium. It's going to shoot up now!

They were probably worried you guys would start more fires if they said no >_>

Sky are reporting that Antonio Conte will be confirmed as the next permanent Chelsea manager in the next ten days.

Arsène Wenger has said that Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will miss up to seven weeks of Arsenal’s Premier League title challenge as a result of the “quite serious” knee injury that forced the England player to limp out of Tuesday’s Champions League defeat by Barcelona.

That was a shit match. West Ham up to 5th after a 1-0 win. 

[TCO]

I was always fond of West Ham!

Stoke, Leicester, Watford and Palace wins now please!

[Just Joe]

Piss Poor that, any other team would have managed two or three goals in that second half against West Ham. They were shocking, all over the place. No Idea why Allardyce didn't bring Borini on in the last 15-20, was begging for him to be running into all the space opening up.
