Shagging a (white) shop assistant?

[Nerf]

This week, according to the papers, Luis Suarez shopping in Covent Garden = moving to Chelsea or Arsenal.

So what does that mean when John Terry was spotted shopping in Poundland?

I've been to London a few times. Nerf to Spurs! Think of the matches!

[Lineker]

Dear god please no.

[METALMAN]

Makes sense. Putting all the bad things in the same place. :/

[Adam]

The Hull owner has indeed applied to the FA over the name change, and offered unhappy fans a refund on their season ticket - "if you aren't happy, fuck off" basically.

We found out last week that what he actually means is "All who disagree should go and die", basically.

Weren't those his exact words?

Yup, which is why I said it

Bit confused with the quotation marks and use of the word basically.

[Plubby]

Imagine Bad Eddie's surprise when he found a quote inside quotation marks.

[EddieG]

It's hard to recognize the difference between it being a quote, or saying it sarcastically like when for example you talk about pirating music/software you'd say "buying" it.

Anyone else hearing rumours that Mourinho wants Rodgers as his assistant manager? Apparently Brendan has been spending a lot of time in Chelsea recently.

[Matt]

I can imagine he'd want him but I can't see Rodgers being at all interested in taking any #2 spot.

[MDK]

Not sure he could make the step up to such an important role

[King Ellis]

Jose's been stealing 'Arry's ideas.

FOOTBALL - YOUNG WON'T CHANGE WAYS

Ashley Young remains unapologetic in the face of accusations of diving and has claimed it is up to referees to deal with him.

The Manchester United winger revealed both Sir Alex Ferguson and his successor David Moyes have had words with him about his frequent tumbles in the penalty area, but he does not seem ready to change his ways.

"It's been talked about by the previous manager and the current manager, but that's in-house," Young said in several newspapers.

"I'm not going to comment on what's been said. I understand what you're saying (about gaining a reputation) and everyone is going to have their say on it, but the referees are giving decisions and that is where I think it lies."

Heard nothing like that. Seems entirely silly.

Not the silliest rumour about Brendan Rodgers that's been going round Twitter today, mind...

What is?

[brenchill]

Spending a lot of time in Chelsea...

Is there a joke in there some where?

[Colly]

He's really a black man.

On Ashley Young if I'm refereeing a game he's playing I'm literally giving him nothing in terms of decisions, and I doubt there'd be many folk outside of die hard Man U fans who would criticise that. Utter disgrace, at least Suarez thinks goal before he thinks 'put leg out in completely opposite direction to where I'm going and fall over'.

[Matt]

So Young essentially admits he's a cheat and will continue to cheat. Yup, he's just jumped up the list of players I hate. I'm with Colly, after that I'd give him nothing. Even if it was a stone wall red card I'd use the excuse that I couldn't be sure that he wasn't looking for the foul. And no, it's not because of who he plays for, I'd say the same of any player

[Colly]

Wow, I wasn't expecting anyone to agree with my sweeping, two afternoon pints fueled statement...

[Baddar]

It's Matt, in regards to a United player. Of course he fucking agrees with you.

I do too on this occasion.
