Football

Cycled past new stadium last week - looked pretty good already, but these things always overrun, especially when newfangled shit is involved.

FYI, it's in North Ldn, up Seven Sisters Road, if you ever feel like going.

Is slagging off Barcelona for allegedly tapping up players the new 'next season will be our season'?

No. It's just v annoying. Hopefully Coutinho will be in contention for Saturday in what should be a great game.

Are we taking bets how often they'll have to lay a new pitch?

Pretty sure I've seen similar before in Japan, Germany, US and the Netherlands.

some american football stadiums move the pitch into the car park during the week so it can get lots of lovely sunshine

I'm not, hopefully they don't need to relay it at all. Hoping advances in turf technology means it won't be an issue..

Not sure where that pitch will move to? Think maybe it will be underground with some hydroponic lights to keep it going during the times when it's not in use. Especially as most grounds are sunken so they don't rise up too tall..
Really intrigued to see how the final thing comes together.

Brixton was completely clusterfucked this morning. Truck broken down at the end of the single lane roadworks by the Oval so nothing could get past causing gridlock way back.
The load of pallets of bricks all had signs plastered all over them - Property of THFC + a big cock.

I chuckled.

Happy Birthday Gylfi Sigurdsson.

Nearly 30 now...

I love how outraged Liverpool fans get about Barca trying to tempt Brazilian Philip away when they're doing the exact same thing

I guess everyone picks on the smaller clubs (if you consider Stoke to be smaller than Liverpool).

It's faux outrage. Tapping up is endemic across the game and the big clubs (and Liverpool) get away with it because, ultimately, they pony up the cash that greases the wheels of the transfer merry go round.

Vydra... why were you so shit at Reading :(

nice goal by our new signing

kabooooom

Toe punt...new page fail

Yup...

Trying to disguise a through ball and got it all sorts of wrong.

trolling level - amateur

i'd like to see that from behind keita or behind the goal
looks like it has all manner of swerve on it, did he even hit it with the outside of his foot ?

audacious

chelsea fans would be on about it all week if it was will - i - am

I haven't once mentioned the incredible goal he scored for Brazil the other day, pisses all over that pedestrian effort you just posted, m9...

He sliced that, was lucky it didn't hit the corner flag.

he was nice and close to the goal wasn't he
henderson could have scored that one
