My brain completely ignored Maf’s error, I just knew he was talking about Danny Murphy

[Curls]

Liverpool are having a shocking season.

This.

[Benzin]

For a HAMSTRING injury...

[Preezy]

I'd normally agree, but (despite my dislike of Barca) I actually think that's quite a nice gesture by his teammates. He's only 20 and has joined a mega club for mega money, is probably massively gutted at getting semi-seriously injured on his debut. It's a nice touch.

It's no Suarez t-shirt, for example.

Regarding the best commentator/pundit: Jenas is by far the best the BBC has to offer on any of the platforms I've heard their people on. (So radio and TV.) He's up there with Sky's best. Nevin I used to like too, but then I learned how much of a Chelsea fan he is when they missed out on Lukaku and bought Morata. So yeah, he's still very good, but I like Jenas more.

I think the funniest (though not intentionally) is Chris Sutton, he just seems such a bitter ex-pro.

Sutton is hilarious, he strawberry floating hates everything.

You can see he positively seethes at how much money an average pro earns now.

He's like the TV version of the radio host whose job it is to say controversial gooseberry fool just so people keep listening/phone in. Novelty pundit.

First thing I saw this morning was the nausea inducing site of England players supporting Sampson after the first goal against Russia.

This news makes up for it:

Mark Sampson set to leave job as England women’s manager

• Sampson oversaw 6-0 win over Russia on Tuesday
• England players showed support for him during match

https://www.theguardian.com/football/20 ... ns-manager

I wonder which team will have the balls to go after him first...

This.

Also this

Danny Mills though

[Denster]

A thug of a player and a half wit of a commentator.

[Corazon de Leon]

Sutton has a massive Chelsea bias. As a good example, we drew with them 2-2 and our second should have been disallowed, Costa's second should have been disallowed, Jordi Amat should have been sent off and Diego Costa should have been sent off. So really, evened out quite well but on MOTD he had a right old moan about how Chelsea had been robbed. Really annoyed me at the time.

You should see him talking about Celtic and Rangers for BT

Shame instead of doing the same for Abidal who had cancer, they just sacked him and ignored it instead.

For a HAMSTRING injury...

City did this for Gundogan as well.

Apparently there's going to be more stuff about him coming out after this.

[Rocsteady]

I've not been following it at all but was he not cleared of all charges?

Apart from when they literally wore shirts in support of him after his diagnosis. And that time Puyol gave him the captain's armband and let him lift the CL trophy first.

[Mafro]

He has been cleared by two inquiries. The Football Association is reinvestigating after accepting that its first two inquiries were insufficient on the basis that neither of them had felt it necessary to interview Drew Spence about what Sampson allegedly said to her at the China Cup in October 2015.

[Rocsteady]

Fair enough.

[The Watching Artist]

A thug of a player and a half wit of a commentator.

Highlight of Mills career-

[Denster]

They'd have done it for Coutinho if they'd signed him. For his back injury.

[Irene Demova]

I strawberry floating hate Danny Mills. Miserable, tedious, biased banana split that looks like Brain from Pinky & the Brain. He was shocking on MotD2 on Sunday describing his mate Wayne Rooney's performance as "sensational".

Mills (not Murphy) is incredible, he's the only pundit who is biased against his old teams
