Scored more goals than Vardy last season. In less games. From the wing. 

yeah, well, Vardy has more Premier League titles.

Chamberlain and Walcott weren't even competing for the same spot and when they were, before the formation change, Chamberlain was rarely effective whereas Walcott while he doesn't look silky and impressive he still was a lot more effective than Chamberlain.

As I said before though, two totally different players that were used differently. Chamberlain is a runner with the ball whereas Walcott is a goal threat.

debatable  

used to love his volleys from the edge of the box. Ones against Villa stand out (he had a knack for scoring against them ).

Great eye for goal.

What's that Chinese mobile that people are raving about? Not Huawei

OnePlus 5?

Bluetooth headphones I imagine - complete bullshit though.

more exploitation for the consumer. Like when Apple bought those wireless headphones out - another ridiculous price to pay them because it's the only thing that goes with the phone. The bluetooth headphones HTC will bring out will only function with that phone. 

Just now, Burning Gold said:

I do indeed. Thanks

I was ready to buy an HTC U11 as soon as it came out (which I never do) until I found out it doesn't have a headphone jack. What a waste of time that is

How you meant to listen to music?!

Does it have expandable storage? I'm also looking for a new phone, although not particularly urgently

I presume you mean space for an SD Card? In which case it does

Thanks mate - is it the 32GB that you have?

yep, got the black one. Picked up a few scratches but that's more down to me than the phone  

It has on very few occasions got quite hot but then I have rinsed it watching Netflix or Sky Sports on it tbh.

Right you shithouses, I need a bit of advice in relation to getting a new phone. Basically the options are either the Google Pixel XL or Huawei P10 Plus, I'm not a lover of Apple so the iPhones are out of the question and I'm not particularly interested in Samsung either. Does anyone have either of these phones that might be able to give a good recommendation?

Something tells me that you had good words to say about your Pixel @Rab or was that just me having another dream about you?

Pixel is amazing. Had mine for a couple of months and it feels good to have a phone that I don't have to charge twice a day. 

Ridiculously light as well. Barely weighs a thing. Very quick as well when going between apps but that's the Android OS which I've always been a fan of.

The camera is what you'd expect from a smartphone these days, very clear and again quick to store to memory etc.

She was drunk on her way to meet her children? 

I thought this as well. But I think it might just be lazy journalism. It could have been that she was just going home. 

Costa left out of the CL squad as expected.

I'd have said Kondogbia to Valencia as well. I don't even think he was that bad for Inter. Surprised Inter used him as the makeweight to bring Cancelo in (who's injured already for 2 months apparently!)

Will she face the same punishment as Rooney (he was apparently 3 times over as well)?

Television presenter Kirsty Gallacher has admitted drink-driving after being caught more than three times over the legal limit.

The Sky Sports presenter, 41, was arrested in Eton, Berkshire, after failing a roadside breathalyser test.

Gallacher, an ex-Strictly Come Dancing contestant, had been going to meet her children to visit Windsor Castle on 12 August, Slough magistrates heard.

District Judge Davinder Lachhar said the charge was "very serious".

Gallacher, who is divorced from ex-rugby union player Paul Sampson, was seen driving her BMW X4 erratically before police tracked her down using CCTV.

Her alcohol level was found to be 106mg per 100ml of breath. The legal limit is 35mg per 100ml of breath.

The defendant, of Virginia Water, Surrey, appeared in the dock wearing black and spoke only to confirm her name, address and plea.

Gallacher is expected to be sentenced later.

Who are these players from the Premier League? I'm guessing a lot of them are Spanish themselves , although not all.

 

From the top of my head:- Deulofeu, Navas, Nolito, Lucas Perez, Remy, Paulista, Pau Lopez, Calleri, Borja Baston, Joel Campbell, Bojan Krkić, Muniesa, Amrabat, Andreas Pereira

 

Who else? I can't think.

 

 

 

Jefferson Montero to Getafe from Swansea
Pantilimon to Deportivo La Coruna from Watford
Emiliano Martinez to Getafe from Arsenal
Enes Unal to Villarreal from Man City
Adnan Januzaj to Sociedad from Man Utd
Ruben Sobrino to Alaves from Man City
Jordi Amat to Real Betis from Swansea
Douglas Luiz to Girona from Man City
Olarenjun Kayode to Girona from Man City
Pablo Maffeo to Girona from Man City
Marlos Moreno to Girona from Man City

Girona putting their Man City links to good use  

All of the above were from the top of my head too

Given the players England have at their disposal and had available for the matches against Malta and Slovakia, what do they expect? 

world cup final winning performances regardless who they're playing  

It was quite boring to watch to be honest.

Right, I didn't see this Malta game and can't comment on the performance in any real depth but all I've seen is "underperforming", "underwhelming" and the like used to describe the match by journalists. I'm not really sure what more they expect. England went to Malta, won convincingly, remain unbeaten, remain on course for an appearance at the World Cup next year, kept a clean sheet and come through the game without any injuries, what else did the media want?

 

agree that the result matters but it was the way in which the victory was achieved. 

everyone seen all the penalties given out today because of changes made to cars after qualifying?

Perez qualified in 11th. Got a 5-place grid penalty. Starts in 10th. All because of the amount of penalties given out  .

He knew what he was getting into when he joined. His injuries haven't helped his case and I recall in 2015 when he was fit, both he, Costa, and Drogba got plenty of game time. 

but now, he's not getting games whether he knew what he was getting in to. He may have thought he could fight for his place, realise he's not as good to be at Chelsea, and told Conte/your board that he wants to go.

Let's say this is a more understandable transfer than some others you've done  

Just now, Cicero said:

Kinell, why are we still getting rid of players 

I wouldn't mind having Remy as a 3rd choice striker 

Remy probably doesn't want to be a 3rd choice striker and probably actually wants to play.
