Stramash Posted August 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Sections of the Italian media are speculating that Milan president Silvio Berlusconi will announce a big-money signing for the club on Monday night before the Trofeo Berlusconi, and according to UnoNotizie.it this player will be Arsenal?s Cesc Fabregas.The ?30-35 million required to complete this capture will be recovered in part by the sale of Andrea Pirlo to Chelsea. that wouldn't be the same sections of the Italian media which Il Duce controls would it?

Stramash Posted August 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 What do the Portuguese police and the premiership have in common?? No Leeds!!! A woman goes to the doctor's begging desperately for help. She explains that her fanny has started talking. She pulls down her knickers and her fanny whispers, "Man City are gonna win the premiership." The doctor replies, "I'm afraid we're in the middle of an epidemic. Lots of c*nts have started talking like this!" Following the speculation that six premiership footballers may have contracted HIV. Its been revealed that John Terry has also had to have a HIV test and is now waiting for the test results. He hadn't slept with the girl, but he had had on/off relationships with the other 6 footballers. :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is confirmed by FIFA; it is whether they win an appeal or not. And, as happened with Sion of Switzerland, any sanctions will likely be frozen till the appeals process is exhausted. Personally I would like to see the death penalty for such offences, with all players, coaching and boardroom staff jointly held responsible and executed live on Sky Sports...

Stramash Posted September 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 FIFA to punish Chelsea until Chelsea decide not to be punished FIFA have announced a ban on Chelsea registering new players which will last for two transfer windows, or until Chelsea decide they want to to sign a new player, whichever comes sooner. The punishment was meted out by Fifa after Chelsea was found guilty of stealing young Frenchman Gael Kakuta and smuggling him all the way to London in a hessian sack with nothing for company except thousands upon thousands of pounds. A Fifa spokesperson said, ?The punishment is fitting for the crime, and will remain in force and definitely not change once Chelsea decide they would actually like to buy some new players.? Anger Chelsea are furious at the decision, feeling it does not reflect the altruistic nature of their actions in freeing Kakuta from a life of poorly-paid servitude in France. ?All we did was suggest to a 16 year-old boy that he tell his club to piss off because he was coming to Chelsea to earn a fortune. Is that so wrong?? said Chelsea Chief Executive Peter Kenyon. ?You wouldn?t be upset if a girlfriend you?d nurtured for years left you because a millionaire waved a massive diamond bracelet at her, would you? Okay, that is a bad example.? Chelsea?s Chief Counsel was more pragmatic, ?We will let Fifa have their little victory, for now.? He told us, before reclining in his platinum armchair. ?Then, when January approaches and we need to buy some players, we will launch our well -trained attack-lawyers to drown them in legal paperwork ensuring that once again we can do whatever the f*ck we feel like.? Not everybody at Chelsea was disappointed with the decision. Andriy Shevchenko told us, ?I?m delighted, I might even get a game now!

Cracker game and City have bragging rights given how depleted their forward line was. It deserved to be a draw and Tevez was a bull dog star in how he scrapped and fought for everything. I was bloody amazed that at how much extra time there was! I don't understand how any reasonable person could think that there should be 7 mions of extra time. It ios always confusing to me, some matches have many injured players, a prolonged stoppage or two and numerous subs and only have 2-3 mins extra time. This one seemingly has nothing much and yet had 7 mins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stramash Posted September 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 In retrospect, and having watched all the timings on MOTD last night, there actually wasn't any extra minutes added on that shouldn't have been.

Ok I trust what you say but I still see the time keeping as being very inconsistent. Look at the Man City Arsenal game. The 2nd half had 5 goals I think, the VP incident, Adebayors long run after he scored, maybe 4-5 subs and yet it only had 4 mins of extra time. This game had 4 mins of extra time and then 3 extra mins added due to 1 Man City goal and 1 sub. And it seems that even when time is up refs will allow an attacking team to finish their attack before blowing the final whistle - which is what I suggest occured in this instance. I don't understand why there is not an off field timekeeper in football who would then blow a siren regardless of where play was at. It would be simple as the field ref just needs to raise his hand when extra time should be added and then raise it again when play restarts, so the timekeeper knows exactly how much extra time to add. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
