Football

You've lifted two trophies since your legendary European night in Istanbul way back in 2005...

I seem to remember your lot celebrating like Kool&the Gang when you won it against us...

Blackburn kit launch, much lolz

Florist have won the 14/15 kit stakes. Good job Adidas.

Wait until they find a sponsor to ruin it...

^ This...

If that actually happens, LOL!

Is this guy any good?

Seven goals in forty nine appearances? Sounds great...

I really liked the look of the Benfica team last season but this is yet again a transfer that sums up everything that's wrong with the PL. Ben FIFA bought him for £6m less than 12 months ago and he's got a good season and someone else comes along and pays well over the odds (£22m?) for him.

When will PL clubs realise it's worthwhile scouting further than the top 5 teams of the 6 "big" European leagues?

Look at him, how could you not want to put him in your pocket.

Which is exactly what Pontus Kaamark did when we beat you in the League Cup final...

It doesn't count though Mark, we've established that.

And Ben FIFA is my new favourite team.

Yeah he's good - but pricey

Owen trolling again...

And Conte has quit Juve, despite signing a new contract in May. Italian team coach?

Looks like Demba Ba is on his way to Besiktas for £8m...

Really? That's a shit move...not cos it's a wank league but also because they treat black players like shit

So we made £2m on the deal?

Apparently Diego Costa finally signed today...

Couldn't agree more. Stupid move but guess he gets paid plenty

The PL is a soft touch... Idiot managers paying through the nose for bollocks talent...

*waves at Liverpool

Take it with a mine of salt. He wont diss lfc for all the abuse that will be sent his way, he wont stick it to his ex-club united, citeh and chelsea's well earned petrodollarz guarantees top4...Asre are the soft targets, innit.

I have a sinkin feelin it'll be us that drop out unless we make several better/1st team signings....

In other news I'm really looking forward to seeing Newcastle's new man. If he hits the ground running/keeps a level head, I wonder how more he'll be sold on to another prem team or PSG within a year?

Even a Fawaz International Refrigeration & Air Conditioning logo wouldn't ruin that kit.

A Derby badge would though.

I think the Telegraph is trying one of those web only off-shoots like the Daily Mirror but actually do kind of make a case for Messi being pretty good at the World Cup Includes stats
