@Alex   I also like everything you say. There are journalists (and in general, the popular voice) who have spoken in recent years of PSG and Manchester City as an illegal team without r

So Ada Hegerberg wins the womens award and the host asks her if she'll twerk on stage to celebrate...

 

Where do they find these people?

 

Anyway, Modric wins the mens version, Ronaldo second, Griezmann third and Mbappe fourth.

 

So expect Neymar(12th) to be moving in Jan as he's fed up of being in Mbappes shadow.

 

2018, Modric is the best player on the planet.

 

2008, Tony Jimenez shut down transfer talks with his agent cos he was "too small".

 

Another stellar appointment by Ashley

Hughes sacked, first manager to be sacked by two premier league clubs in one calendar year.

 

So thats our Rafa replacement...

 

Ralph Hasenhuttl has been flown in from Leipzig to become the new manager. Two and a half year deal.

I thought Simon Mann was still in prison for attempting to overthrow the Equatorial Guinea regime

As a military man, you would know all about that

Owen is so out of place in that list 

:lol: I was about to post something similar. Seeing some of those players including slightly forgotten ones like Belanov (some strike on that bloke), you see the greats, you see King Kev then your eye finally notices that little winnit. :jerkit:

He had a great season but even back then, pre-injury, he was limited. He obviously had a good understanding with Gerrard but those long passes for Owen to run onto often resulted in the ball being given away. The frenetic nature of the premier league, especially back then, often meant possession was quickly turned over. Even more so at Anfield which has quite a small pitch. While this meant Owen would often get a fair few chances per match it doesn’t take a genius to work out why this was nowhere as effective at international level. Jonathan Wilson in ‘Inverting the Pyramid’ talks about Owen complaining about how for England, when KK was manager, the latter  said all Owen did was score. Owen’s response was “Is that not enough?” Wilson’s conclusion was that, at the top level, it wasn’t enough. Ironically it was Keegan who recognised that, post injury, Owen could no longer play as an out and out striker. The only time he looked a player in the latter part of his career was when Keegan deployed him as a deep lying right sided forward alongside Viduka and Martins. 

Tl;dr He wasn’t as good as he thought he was and never worked on the bits of his game that were weak which is why he struggled so much when he lost his pace

This was on Have I got news for you last night.

Basically, it's been blown out of all context and a mountain out of a molehill.  He apparel asked the other winners to dance too and then did the same with her.

Judy Murray started a rant the square heeded man faced fuck, before Sara Pascoe told them the full story and then she was all agreeing that it was nothing.  No wonder he lads a boring cunt.
