Call me a cynic but I don't think the fire outside Spurs ground is accidental.

[Chazza]

Does seem a bit convenient.

The Chinaman is not the issue here.

Well yeah I know that

We're talking about unchecked aggression here, dude.

It's taken me all morning of wondering what RP was on about and it's just hit me

After all these years I run every post from Ved through the Lebowski filter before responding.

I still don't get it. Was it a Noel Edmonds quote or something?

When I read any of Red Polo's posts I always do it in The Dude's voice in my head so for me it was pretty obvious

I remember people were wanting us to sign him over Torres

Brandao: Bastia striker sentenced for headbutt on PSG's Motta

Bastia striker Brandao has been given a one-month 'jail sentence' for head-butting Paris St-Germain midfielder Thiago Motta.

The Brazilian, 34, had already received a six-month ban for the incident in PSG's 2-0 home win on 16 August.

Motta, 32, was left with a broken nose in the attack by Brandao, who also received a £15,850 (20,000 euros) fine.

His lawyer expects Brandao to serve the punishment through community service and not in jail.

Brandao, a league winner with Marseille in 2010, says Motta insulted him during the game.

After being substituted he appeared to wait for the Italy international in a dressing room corridor, which was captured on CCTV.

"On the pitch Brandao said he'd be waiting for me afterwards, but I never thought he'd actually do it," Motta told the police.
Prosecutors had called for an eight-month suspended sentence and a £11,888 (15,000) euros fine.
PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi said Brandao "should be suspended for life" after the incident.

Roy Keane has left his role as Aston Villa assistant manager with immediate effect

[Paddy]

Updated autobiography on the way so.

[Vermilion]

So Keane leaving, is it 'incident' related ?

Or just a mutually agreed....it's not working...more time with Ireland sort of deal ?

[Paddy]

Ireland don't have another International for 4 months. Strange timing, if it is to concentrate on Ireland. Why not resign from the post earlier. Lunatic probably decked someone for daring to argue with him.

He's heard there may be a managers job available in the north west soon...........
