Wayne Rooney has been arrested on suspicion of drink driving 

 

****ing madness. You've got so much money you can pay someone to ****ing give you a piggyback home ffs and you choose to drink and get behind the wheel of a car?

 

Go **** yourself. Anyone who drinks and then drives is a total ****ing **** and deserves, without harm to others, as much harm as possible to themselves - whether by injury, prison time, financial penalty, etc.

Tony Blooms done a statement apologising for not getting a striker in despite them working really hard.

 

Surely if they'd offered us 10m for Ulloa we'd have snapped their arm off and chucked it in the helicopter along with Leo, regardless of the new contract?

Still can't believe Watford opted for a deadline day loan of Molla Wague.

 

Wonder if he will achieve the same cult status that he did for us.

To be fair we saw nothing from him.

BT taking champions league has limited my viewing of European football but I genuinely have no idea who lemar is, and he's going for 90m+. How much could mahrez go for again? 

 

If there's any justice in this world, a lot more than that.

They're looking for a striker, not a semi retired footballer.

Not sure if this is true (from twitter) but if it is, it helps lay bare the nonsense that Spurs are somehow the future of English football (these lists exclude U21's where Spurs have a few British kids but no more than most clubs)

So without the Drinky move, we'd be on 11 and Chelsea would be on 3!?!

In all fairness mate we saw a pretty solid first half from him then he dislocated a shoulder lol 

 

At a time when our defence looked utterly horrific I was quite encouraged by his first half lol
