Am I missing a pun here or have they regressed to Neanderthalic humour?

Liga MX final in 2015? Ronaldinho's Queretaro were 5-0 down from the first leg, but managed to pull it back to within two goals by halftime of the second leg. Goalkeeper went to kick it from his hands, Ronaldinho poked it away and got booked for doing so. Your club's best known player ever...

When Ronaldinho did this stuff seventeen years ago, with or without end product, people loved it so much that EA created a video game series built around it - FIFA Street. Nowadays, through a combination of stats-padding players, talk of "Always respect your opposition, don't embarrass them out...

No idea, but I just have a mental image of his fellow inmates messing with him to stop him sleeping at nights, then screaming "I'm tired, Robbieeeeeeeeee..." in his face. Genuinely found him particularly irritating in matchday livestreams, when he would take out his phone all game and keep a...

In fairness, getting himself sent over off and suspended for three games after less than 100 minutes of football isn't a wonderful indicator of a great player. Fecking hell.

With VAR in the PL, it's a poor application problem rather than an existence problem. Think back to the Euro 2020 when every decision was checked by VAR and it was widely lauded throughout. It can work well if it's being used by people who know what they're doing. Nobody likes VAR until it...

There was no such thing as average Nani. He was either unplayable or unwatchable. Antony was clearly extremely keen to please, between the defensive work and a couple of "optimistic" shots, but overall a strong debut.

Ask Mathieu Valbuena whether he agrees with this assessment.

Clean on the pitch? He was a nasty tackler in the spirit of Scholes, and we loved him for it. Best of luck to him, but I don't see how he upgrades the squad at this point and we've too many squad players masquerading as first team players at this stage.

For the first time, I'm looking at our fixture list and struggling to see what I would consider our next nailed-on win. Every team who played yesterday showed enough fight and spirit to demonstrate why they're PL teams. All except for one, that is; we're playing with the same sense of...

Z is pronounced TH is certain Latin cultures, so RodriguEZ becomes RodriguETH.

In fairness, he's not wrong. Things that are happening include the Tory leadership race, A Level and GCSE exams being marked, and Asda preparing a sale on wine. It's just that none of the things that are happening seem to include development on the sale of FDJ to United. It's the classic...

I disagree, we haven't signed anyone called Gaz Zumps. Is he the alleged backup option to FDJ?

Probably reasonably accurate, in fairness. Everything else is, naturally, total nonsense. But it goes to show that it's true what they say about stopped clocks.

Exactly this. You could make the argument that Solskjaer didn't break the promise, that Henderson was first choice in August but De Gea worked his way back into that role by the time Henderson was available again. Never replicated his Sheffield United form here and will likely be a footnote in...
