    Not implying anything but I assumed a certain regional bias when the first advert was for mobile phone cards.

    If my cricket watching experience tells me anything it's that Africa is all about mobile phone cards and money transfer, while in south Asia it is somehow toothpaste that commands the big dollar ad spend.

    Must be brutal trying to apply Pep-ball because it's all you know but without an actual freak talent at your disposal. All you're left with is stylish high lines and defensive passing triangles but at least we now the answer to 'how would he do at a normal club?'

    He did have Kompany, Fernandinho, Aguero, Silva and then added KDB and Sterling to that level. Could argue the latter two were "freak".

    Genuinely one of the funniest articles I've ever read. I love that these two paragraphs are on the same page.

    [...]it's down to the label he's been given as being difficult, or a problem player. I have no idea where that perception has come from, but it is a reputation that is completely undeserved.
    He was doing well with Trabzonspor and was enjoying it before he got hit by a ban for breaching betting rules.

    More than him writing it (the usual grubby process of helping a mate out) whoever commissioned / published that article on the state broadcaster's website needs a kick in the face.

    I'd take Micah fucking Richards' opinions on such things with a pinch of salt.

    At least he has a nice laugh.

    How did he get to be a pundit anyway? I know the standards set are generally pretty low, but if you're not a big name then you generally have to either be able to provide good insight or create talking points and - unless you count people discussing how shit he is as a talking point - he does neither.

    That said, Jenas and Murphy are the same. Bland nearly-men must be the BBC'S niche. It's better than Sky's I guess.

    I remember the halcyon days of then Micah Richards column on the BBC. Reading about him eating Cornflakes was amazing insight in the early 2000s.

    I was marvelling at Danny Murphy's longevity in this day and age as a bald white man. I mean I'd love 2 hours in a locked room with whoever is in charge of these decisions.

    I read somewhere that he (Murphy) has massive debts and needs the money, so it's probably charity.

    Jenas has also filled the ethnic spot on Richard Osman's House of Games (which is a truly fascinating TV journey into the world of exactly two women / exactly one ethnic minority). There's a circuit developing in it.

    It really is mental. It's some good loopholing, but we're now left with fans being able to go to a stadium to watch a match, but only if it's the stadium that the match isn't being played in. Just let the fucking fans in.

    Presumably, and quite deliciously, the law doesn’t cater for this.

    I’m not quite ‘open the clubs’, but the blocking off of tampon isles should tell you that the response to this has latterly run mad.

    Blocking off tampon aisles fair enough, it’s madness. But opening a stadium to gather a crowd to watch a game on a screen should be shot down instantly. Idiots.

    Its actually worse than that, you can have fans in a stadium where game is being played as long as the fans can't see the pitch and they're watching on a TV in the concourse or the supporters bar. Its a complete joke.

    Add Potter to the list along with Ralph and Poch. And I'd do a swap of Lamptey and TAA in a heartbeat if the latter wasn't a dirty scouse bastard.

    Lamptey's good, but being an actual legal midget is always going to hold him back.

    Potter really isn't anything special.

    On the wing, but not at fullback, where the other team just land the ball on your head at every opportunity, if they have any sense.

    See also, the Matt Ryan looped header towards the backpost height related defect.

    "As a club, Newcastle United did vote in favour of the pay-per-view proposal, but to be clear, this was because there were no realistic or any viable alternatives put forward to enable supporters to watch matches."
