ETA: no, that's fucking gross.

So Manchester United have decided to solve their central midfield issues by signing an underperforming Frenchman with an oversized ego and lengthy history of clashes and off-field issues from Juventus.

It worked out so well last time!

Amazing Watford goal earlier.

He certainly SARR the keeper off his line!*

I was more impressed with Joao Pedro's header dribble. Didn't even get a replay.

[Kankurette]

I believe that's what they call  a 'screamer'.

I'd be more impressed by that goal if I hadn't seen some bloke playing for Worsbrough Bridge do it in the tenth tier:

This is the greatest thing I have seen in years.

They can't help themselves can they? It's as if they're proud of their essential cuntiness.

[FalknerHinton]

I like the guy in the replies who can count to ten.

[Wonderful Butternut]

The sheer masculinity has caused me to grow a second set of testicles. I have Quad Balls now, bitch.

I watched that and I have a sudden urge to start supporting Arsenal. And WHY IS HE WEARING TEN SHIRTS?!

Allen Saint Maximin is a member of a board games club, which is possibly the sweetest thing I've heard about a footballer in ages.

Speaking of cult heroes, here's Newcastle's Allan Saint-Maximin handing a Rolex to a Newcastle fan who, you have to say, could've looked a bit more excited about randomly receiving a ten grand timepiece.

Although it turns out it wasn't a random gift - Saint-Maximin knows the guy from the local board game community, in which he is an active member.

In fact, the Frenchman released his own card game called Helios, based on Greek mythology, his favourite subject.

He explained earlier this year: "I tested it with friends. We started to play small tournaments at home. It took two and a half years -  but I am really happy that I didn't stop."

He invited 40 Geordies to the launch event at a local hotel where he spent nine hours teaching them the rules and giving cash prizes to the winners.

What a man.

Sweating into his Gucci headband as he gets fucked over on a sheep-timber trade deal in Catan.

Who are they? Apart from three of the thousands of identical men in Wetherspoons up and down the country.

The thing with all the tops is a piss take, surely?

[Kankurette]

He'd definitely beat Jermaine Pennant in a game of Scrabble.

The BBC would like you to select your "greatest all-time Premier League team"  from the last 30 years. As it's a bit quiet at the moment I figured why not.



I went for the classic 4-4-2 but you can choose your formation, if you want to pick Ian Wright alongside Bergkamp and Cantona like I'm thinking I should have done.

I picked Keane and Vieira mostly because you know they'd kick lumps out of each other.

Why have you picked 2 right backs?

[Joe Qunt]

Easy for me. Please bear in mind I was born in 2000 AD.

[FalknerHinton]

Why have you picked 2 right backs?

I did not care for any of the left backs.

[phes]

Fucking João Cancello in there after one good season. Well done for buying football

Don't see Berbatov or Prosinecki so these joyless BBC shits can grave (edited on realising Prosinecki was div 1, wasn't he)

Still grave

Is this the top cunts team?

Until you post yours.

[PowerButchi]

The fact you can't pick Keiffer Moore is a fucking disgrace.

[Gurke and Hare]

It doesn't have Jaap Stam so it's fundamentally broken.

[Kankurette]

Mine's probably got everyone except the goalie (it's Peter Schmeichel, in case you're wondering) playing out of position. I didn't bother double checking who plays on the right and who plays on the left.

ETA: can one play Henry and Shearer up front or are they incompatible?

[bgmnts]

Team would fuck anyone.
