The Football News Thread 2016/17 - everything not Wolves

The John Terry 'guard of honour' forore:

Don't know why anyone other than the player and Chelsea fans would give a shit about it TBH.

Garth Crooks excelling himself.

Hazard and Sanchez (on the wrong sides) as wing backs!

Why are they playing 2-3-5-1?

Coutinho. Get fucked.

I was watching Final Score on BBC and they were losing their shit as they watched it unfold live.

Yeah I saw that. Just seems a bit of an odd thing to get worked up about.

People won money at 100/1 on it happening, so that is a bit of a problem

 

[PuntsWolf]

It was like 3 people apparently, not really an issue. Why there was a market for it I don't know

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Smells like a paddy power stylee stunt

 

[Kenny]

William Hill I think

I think that it was one of those "ask us and we will give you odds" type bets. So 1 bet placed and that made the offer public but only a few took it on. There was also a discussion before paying out as the board went up in the 26th minute but he didn;t leave the pitch until the 28th. If there were a load of bets on it, it would be looking like the eating a pie live on TV scenario again

Wasn't sure where to put this. Interesting break-down on how teams fare in the PL based on aspects of their performance in the promotion-winning season.

TLDR: Newcastle and Brighton have reasons to be cheerful, but whoever goes up out of Reading and Huddersfield are screwed.

Stay classy, Hull!

I've seen another tweet from Bruce previously replying to a fan saying he'd played his last game for Hull. So it can't have come as that much of a surprise.

China to introduce 100% tax on overseas players to curb transfer spending.

Harry Redknapp has admitted he is considering signing Benoit Assou-Ekotto - but claimed the left-back wants to become a porn star.

Paid to perform in front of a bunch of wankers whichever way he goes

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Harry is going to be ace at the zulus.

Just ace.

I really hope the whole edifice crumbles into the dust, preferably with a colossal wage bill at the same time.

 

[Freddeno]

Who is still signing that bad bulldog?

The BBC's FA Cup build up this afternoon was slightly odd, yet quite good.

The had a bunch of rappers doing slam poetry or rapping about this seasons big FA cup stories, or had bands singing songs about the upsets.

You Me At Six did the story of Sutton and it was very good. Some guy I've never heard of did Lincoln's journey and that was also good.

Different from the Beeb but I couldnt stop watching.
