    If they spent more time training and working on formulations and tactics than on bizarre fashion parades we may not be in the state we are currently in.

    Rip Walter Becker. The word genius is often over used, but not in his case. ;poppy

    Dimitri Payet admits he acted like a 'fool' at West Ham via @OnefootballEN. Read it here:

    This kind of thing, plus the Sullivator's communication style, should be taken into account when judging Bilić's performance under pressure.

    The context of that is in no way apologetic. He is proud, and suggests it is a role he plays when he wants to get his own way.

    A Frenchman who is arrogant when things are going his way and then sulks when they're not?

    Quell surprise!
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    National stereotypes?

    Down with that sort of thing!

    Remember that he gave the interview in French and its then been translated so that might not be what he actually said
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    I don't care what he actually said. His actions showed exactly what kind of man he is.
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    ...and I think that part of the translation came across very clearly.

    The most infuriating thing is that in 'normal' life I know that if a person acted like that they would get their comeuppance eventually. The 'real' world doesn't let people get away with acting like spoilt children for too long without being knocked down a peg or two. However in the absurd world of football it will probably not really negatively affect his career, he will still earn millions, and be hailed as a hero by some during his career (Marseille and France fans mainly).

    Such an odious man.

    He didn't make the French squad in the recent internationals... should have stayed at West Ham. What a waste.

    Hardly a surprise, he's been out with a hamstring problem since the first game of the season against Dijon.

    He'll be playing in the Group Stage of Europa League this season, something he wouldn't have done with us.

    I've had a good look in the kitchen draw and it appears I'm clean out of bothered.

    Slightly changing the topic, and hopefully this is on the right thread as it is totally random

    Whilst on holiday, a local radio station was playing an advert which included the following:

    "To err is human, to blame it on someone else shows management potential"

    So John Motson is retiring and the BBC are playing highlights of his 50 years of commentating:
    "Oh my word, Radford has scored a goal!"
    "Tigana, Tigana ... Platini. 3-2!"
    "Wimbledon have won the FA Cup!"

    Could somebody explain to me why television football commentators even exist. Radio commentators, perhaps. But if I sat next to somebody in the stand, or in my living room, and shouted in their ear "Noble sideways ... Madline slaloms through a static West Ham defence and that's a fourth for Bolton Wanderers!" for 90 minutes I would expect to be punched in the head. Repeatedly. Why exactly do I need somebody doing it to me?

    Sometimes, you just gotta laugh... (not at what they did, of course...)
    Nine players and two officials have been handed 12-match and 19-match bans respectively for attacking match officials in a Nigerian league game.

    The club in question, FC Ifeanyi Ubah, became an official partner of West Ham last year.

    I suspect we only partnered with them so Sully could get his hands on all those millions the general's widow has...

    Saw this the other day. Is it really terrible if I can see us conceding any one of those? It just seems to be our kind of luck
