Looking forward to friday games this year. The only drawback is that if there are also 2 games on Saturday, 2 games on Sunday and one on Monday, MOTD will only have 4 games that have not been shown live!

EDIT: Just looked. It seems as though MNF has become an endangered species

Highest paid footballers in the world. I thought Rooney was on 300k a week? :confused:

Ah that's why Pelle moved!

I was sure Rooney signed at £250k per week, rising to match any other high earner at the club.

See Celtic lost to a team of semi professionals from Gilbralter. lol

elmuzzy66. · 12 Jul 2016 at 22:18

It's still only the 1St leg but what a result. Heat must have played a factor. 30c during the game and still 28c now.

Imps 1 Chimps 0

Easily the most embarrassing result for a Scottish team in Europe.

robfosters · 12 Jul 2016 at 22:54

LMAO at Celtic. Brenda's had a cracking start.

Can he fault the character

No1newts · 13 Jul 2016 at 19:37

Not football per se but football related. NewsCorp (owners lf the sun) have purchased Talksport so Colin Murray has quit blaming it on the Hillsbrough stuff. I'm not sure whether to admire him for his principles or be a little baffled at the move. After initially finding him an annoying twonk I've always enjoyed his show.

Though the good news they almost instantly cancelled Collymore's context, cannot stand the self congratulatory ****** and hopefully his equally irritating mate who does that late show will go with him.

Demba Ba's career is probably over, he's just broke his leg in a horrific manner.

Warning it's graphic.

planty · 17 Jul 2016 at 14:49

Eugh

Stewy · 17 Jul 2016 at 16:34

that's grim.

Davey_Pitch · 17 Jul 2016 at 16:55

I wouldn't say his career was over. Larsson and Cisse both had leg breaks that looked as bad as that and both of them came back just as strong. Hopefully Demba Ba will as well, that's no way for a footballer to end their career.

Egon · 17 Jul 2016 at 18:55

Just seen this, horrific!
