One of my polish colleague just sent me this with the comment “Juve’s most under rated foreign player” and I’ve crying ever since :rofl:

You know with corners right, you know how the corner taker always places the ball somewhere close to the line, but not on it? What possible advantage is gained by this? I always thought the ball should be on the line, after all, that’s the purpose of the line being there. It has no other function.
It bugs the fuck out of me every time.

The ball is a sphere so it isn’t the base of the ball that defines if it’s in the D.

Don’t get me wrong - I did that at least a year ago when I realised how much of a chancer and a fraud he was. I’m glad that a proper researching journalist finally took him to task.

Yeah I do remember when he first came to mass attention and he was at that time looked at someone very unreliable. His hit rate improved but I think this now seems why.

I remember that bloke in his bedroom who seemed to be 100% legit. Always someone on the internet who will go bat for you

Gary off YouTube has just done a piece where he slags off all the other influencers for living in Dubai and sucking up to petro states. He lives in a suburb of Luton apparently.
When asked how he gets his inside information he was painfully honest: ‘I just make it all up!’ he replied.

Man of the people :+1:t4:

Doing the Telegraph free 7 day thing is a ball ache and the other link doesn’t open for me. Since it is free, would you mind a copy and paste? I’m quite interested to read it.

Sent the articles to you via PM. I do not want the possibility of posting the entire articles here getting the site in trouble.

Not worth it for such a shit newspaper.

Interesting this… A conspectus of time wasting like this from every game, should be put on Gobshite Howard Webbs desk for him to do his sums…
In my opinion, the PGMOL will never improve with him in charge

What in the world has football turned into lately? These stats from Elland Road Tuesday night really highlight how much of the game is being overlooked…

Now if we could only get Arsenal and City getting 23 players red carded in a match.

…Or maybe not…it could end up like the chaos similar to the Old Firm match a couple of days ago.
