for all Man City's attacking intent and success, I often find Fernandinho's contributions go somewhat unnoticed in the deeper midfield position. Sometimes chips in with goals but keeps their game flowing with De Bruyne and Silva infront of him. 

Deserves the contract extension despite his age.

Great win for Victory against Western Sydney today. 3-0 away from home. Consolidates their play-off place

Crazy weather here in Atlanta, GA. Finally back at work after a day off with 16 degree weather with snow/ice.

Unreal to think that I've spent half my life (approx 16 years) at my current employer, yet I will only be employed here for 56 more working hours. Last Friday being my last day, I imagine next week will be a bit surreal, and sad to leave some of these co-workers that I have grown up with.

when one door closes, another opens and all that jazz!

Good luck!

well he will be 34 by the time 2022 comes around.

Will he be staying at the club before he comes president (i.e. between retirement and where he wants to be) or is he going to leave football altogether before returning in the hope that position arises at the right time for him?

Will he be appearing in any Shakira videos cos I won't want to watch them if so. 

thought Keogh was poor. He's so past it it's getting silly now. No pace. No creativity. Can't remember last time he scored. He used to be quite agile and problematic for defenders in the air. Maybe it's the way Perth play but he is so wasteful with the ball. 

Gerard Pique has signed a new contract at Barca til 2022. 

goalfest as expected in Brisbane.

Reached half-time with the scores at 1-1. 

It's now 3-2 with 20 minutes to go. 

Lively start to the Brisbane vs Perth game

Brisbane took an early lead through Papadopolous. Chris Harold equalised soon after though. A repeat of the 6-3 a couple years ago is well on its way.

Flanagan’s LFC career surely over now.

Yes, injuries held him back. And the Burnley loan last season didn’t work out as either party hoped it would. However, him being a drunken douchebag and beating up his girlfriend aside (quite simply inexcusable, shameful behaviour), if he was good enough, he would have forced his way into the team by now. 

One day Clyne might come back from injury (remember him?!) and while TAA isn’t going to be a RB for the rest of his career, he and Gomez (again, not a natural RB), are far ahead of Flanagan in the pecking order. 

My money says he’ll have to drop down to the Championship. 

when he stops taking cocaine, maybe.

I totally want him, I've wanted him since that title win of yours.

We won't get him though, we'll probably sign Allison who will be wonky.

NAH YOU REALLY DON'T WANT HIM.

(hint: you don't want him cos we want him to stay )

seems like a bit of a lenient sentence?

Liverpool footballer Jon Flanagan has been sentenced to 40 hours of unpaid work and a community order for assaulting his girlfriend.

The 25-year-old defender pleaded guilty to common assault by beating of Rachael Wall at an earlier hearing.

Liverpool Magistrates' Court heard he "slammed" his partner against the wall and kicked her "while she was on the floor" in Liverpool on 22 December.

Flanagan has made more than 50 first-team appearances for the club.

A club spokesman condemned "in the strongest possible terms, the player's actions" and said the club will now begin considering "any internal disciplinary action".

The 12-month community order will include 15 rehabilitation activity days, 40 hours of unpaid work, £85 costs and an £85 victim surcharge.

The court was shown CCTV footage of Flanagan hitting his partner, pushing her against a wall twice and then kicking her in Duke Street in the city centre at about 03:20 GMT.

Alan Currums, prosecuting, said a witness stated he had "seen the male throw the female against the wall and then kick her while she was on the floor".

He said the man saw Flanagan place one hand on Ms Wall's neck and one on her throat before he "slammed her against the wall".

The witness said he shouted from his balcony to Flanagan that he was "out of order" and the footballer replied with offensive language that he would "come and knock you out".

Sentencing the Liverpool-born player, District Judge Wendy Lloyd said it was "undoubtedly sad".

"It was a matter of this lady going to the floor twice and you used your foot on her on one occasion," she said.

"The lady was seen to have injuries but of course she said she does not attribute those injuries to you."

Lionel Greig, mitigating, said Flanagan "deeply regrets his behaviour" and "there is genuine remorse".

Mr Greig said both parties were under the influence of alcohol at the time and there was no suggestion there had been any previous violence in the relationship.

"They are back together and working very hard at the relationship and supporting one another," he added.

A Liverpool FC spokesman said: "It leaves his own reputation damaged and, through association, he has severely let down the club he had previously represented with distinction."

He said the club has "expressed to him our disappointment and anger that he has failed to live up to" its values and the internal process of "deciding on or implementing any internal disciplinary action" will now begin.

 

surprised she's still with him as well

The thing is, we shouldn’t be gambling on another keeper from a foreign league that will probably need time to establish himself. I’d rather we go for someone proven in this league, someone like Kasper perhaps from Leicester. 

nah you don't want him

He doesn't just eat the chickens, but does so while they are still alive

head first

would find it so difficult to totally cut meat and fish out of my life and live on a vegan/vegetarian diet. 

For religious reasons I've gone max 2 weeks without meat but found it tough. That first time having chicken after not eating it for a while was heavenly.

I really don't mind people going vegetarian/vegan. It's those that make you feel guilty about enjoying meat/fish which need to diahf.
