Best thing about the A-League is watching the "ultras" dress as if they had just finished watching the football factory. @Toinho owns a bucket hat

Should write that down mate, might catch on

Ironic how things work out, due to the cricket in Auckland all hostels sold out this weekend which means me and the missus have to get an airbnb somewhere for the weekend, nearly ended up staying in a tent in someone's garden that's how much things were booked up/how low our reserves ran that we can't afford a hotel/expensive bnb. Both of us working now mind so just waiting on paydays to come in, but hoping by the end of the year we'll have enough money to travel around NZ both north and South Island and then do Fiji, Tonga, Samoa...potentially some more Pacific Islands (though not sure what/how many/if any) before finishing in either Phillipines(hopefully)/Thailand/Malaysia and then going home. Amazing how much can change in a year

Glad it went well me ol mucka. Pop the question or just your back?

And that team got hammered by Barce and Bayern, was just luck of the draw for it to finally come off for Chelsea after all those years of playing defensive football.

Tell that to Arsenals away kits

It was a joke Farage

If it's not I hope Abdi doesn't get deported, we need more people like him

Had they of gone out to someone like Juve or Barce it'd be a more acceptable loss, but they shouldn't be losing to Juve. Mourinho clearly feels he's bigger/better than United and is quite happy to give the club shit in defence of himself to media etc.

What do you expect from a young centre back in his first full season playing for the club exactly?

NRL highlights from the weekend so far..

Fair point but footballing terms there's no question about it.

Why would you want to stay at Everton when you could go to Sevilla?

Weirdly drinking Lucozade always made my asthma play up, had to drink the orange one which is actually the best.

It clearly says on the bottle not to be used to hydrate if you have the shits, doctors used to prescribe Guinness to people but that turned out to be a myth as well. With that said I loved Lucozade, me dad used to buy a bottle of it during the week and it'd be treat. Get a glass or two to yourself and you were buzzing

Anyone ever had an interview and also needed to shit? Honestly so close to shitting myself whilst explaining what I could improve on haha

Yeah, that's literally it. He was accused, wasn't found guilty and everyone moves on.

I am chilled mate, but your discussion is idiotic. You can't create an environment of trust and openness if people who are abused are at risk of being reprimanded and demonised because they're not sure it will be proven at trial.

Some absolute whoppers in here, just because an accusation hasn't been proven doesn't mean they were lying. Have some common sense and take your rose tinted glasses off.

Bellerin needs to sort his suspect defending out before moaning about managers.

Na mate Serge Aurier

Hazard would walk in ahead of Mane no doubt about that. He's easily one of the best players in the league and has the league titles to prove it, but there is some truth to what MadLad is saying and considering the goalscoring form of someone like Harry Kane over the last few years or Sergio Aguero so calling him the out and out best player in the league is off. That player is currently in North West London.

Yet he's come up against two great fighters now and been stopped against both, fair play he did jump up to middleweight and you have to respect him for that but a loss is still a loss and that's two against the elite in two separate weight classes. He may win a belt at 154 but I don't think he'll beat Spence, his eye sockets will probably go again and it's not just that, Spence turned it up in the final rounds and Brook was struggling. He may give a better account at 154 but I think Spence will win again. Brook vs Khan could have been a great match up for them both, it's a shame that they didn't go at it before when it was wanted because now it's nothing more than one of their final big pay cheques.

I'd expect Cech to go to America/Australia/Asia at the end of the season. It's interesting with Wenger because there's no doubt that his time is coming to an end, whilst he has had great success in recent years winning 3 FA Cups he and the club haven't been able to sustain actual competition for the title and have in the league regressed to where they are now. He deserves massive respect from his early stint as in his first 9 years at the club they won 7 major trophies and created a side that was dominant at national level and made a Champions League final appearance. Unfortunately the FA Cup isn't held with much prestige anymore but the complete lack of competition in the league and Europe over the last 5 years at least means that something has gone drastically wrong as the money has obviously been there at the club. But he is undoubtedly Arsenal's greatest ever manager regardless of how bad things have been since 2005 and he should be given a proper send off, the last time Arsenal won 9 major trophies in a 9 year period was back in the 30s and everything since was about 2-3 trophies every 10-20 years.

Watched Irish beat Worcester last weekend, mad how bad they've been this season but I've never come to expect much more. Didn't watch the Wasps game but sounds like the better team lost which means if survival was a bit of a pipe dream before this match then relegation is all but gaurenteed now. Mad to see how having your own stadium can do so much for a club yet so many have struggled for years.
