That middle picture is brilliant. That lad in the water has no idea a tsunami is about to hit.

[Chris]

Take it he's not too involved in the training at Hull then!

[McDermotX]

He's not the first and won't be the last, but why do some of these ex footballers let themselves get to such a state? Where's their pride?

To be fair, Brucie was always a fat lad.......it was only the football holding back the tide.

Player Shirt Sales 2014-2015

The Mancs really are a monster commercially. Five of the top ten best selling named PL shirts and that is after one, soon to be two, sub par seasons by their standards.

Plastics not yet ready to admit to being plastics. It won't take long though, they'll be supporting City / Chelsea next season because they "always liked them really" if they miss out on CL.

Just a bit of context to that poll its only based on sales from Sports Direct...And So scum are a monster commercially to all the chavs that go to Sports Direct!.........Some of the big names that failed to make the top 10 were Harry Kane, Cesc Fabregas, Oscar, Joe Hart and Raheem Sterling - while Newcastle striker Ayoze Perez clinched 11th place..

Did not realise that it was only for Sports Direct, but it still paints a picture that a sub par season or two does not stop them from selling well even if it is to chavs or whoever.


I imagine that if other sports outlets published their figures for the season to date that we would see the Mancs fare well again.

For me it is a snapshot of something that they do so well and have done so for a few decades now.

We are improving greatly on that front, but lessons could still be taken from that lot on how to use commercial income to stay in the same money bracket as the billionaire owned clubs.

Former Norwich player Darren Eddie sworn at by fellow Mustard TV presenter while he introduces a segment on fossils on the Norfolk coast.

If this was tomorrow I'd assume it April Fools but it looks like Norfolk is trying to parody itself based on Partridge

FIFA have said there are too many unlicensed agents, so they've now agreed to call them intermediaries and none of them have to be FIFA licensed. Instead, they've passed regulatory responsibility to local FA's.

From what I can gather.
