I had no idea! Makes perfect sense to do it though. Why aren't kit manufacturers opening their eyes up to this issue?

Still a long way to go before he matches up to the own goal scoring record of say, Carragher.

2/7 and he is only 19, making a fine march at it already.

Pantsil must be storming up there pretty quickly too.

I'm still not sure what Jones was trying to do; He seems to just adopt a weird foetal position, it's half way between a pass / cushioned header to a goal keeper who had come to collect.

Nah, It's all about Dunne and Carra in terms of own goals.

Purdy · 6 Jan 2012 at 00:26

They've had time to set the benchmark, lets see who can take over now they are playing less

I think he was trying to cushion it to the keeper without realising he'd come out

My rugby socks from five years ago were split just above the ankle. Different material and fabric for the foot and then a traditional sock from there up. Bit of tape around the calf to keep the sock up and I was done.

Rooney leaving Utd rumours

wow, what results today in the fa cup. thankfully, everton got through unscaved and not needing a replay.

we'll win the cup for sure now!!!

rooney re-joining everton for 50p is the rumour i'm hearing. £35k appearance and goal bonus only on top of a £30k per wk salary.

Nonsense rumours.....it's that time of year.

Downing's supposed to have been arrested last night for allegedly hitting his ex. Given what's gone on, I wouldn't be suprised if she was black

Should be booted out of the club if true. Hopefully just his ex trying to get some money out of him though.

Time to print up some Downing shirts?

Who would wear that? Even Downing's embarrassed to have a Downing shirt

You must have loads left over in the shops surely

That's my beer all over the place

They have opened themselves up to it all now, a fan has followed the club line and been racist why not Downing

Wonder if they will have a t-shirt campaign for the fan as well

Purdy · 8 Jan 2012 at 15:13

Really is Lollerpool football club at the moment.

Alpherah · 8 Jan 2012 at 15:36

If true its the only thing he's managed to hit since joining us. Targets in the box? not a chance.
