I see Zola has been appointed manager of Watford, whose take-over was orchestrated by Scott Duxbury (the man whose clerical mistake cost West Ham millions in the Tevez affair) and whose technical director is Gianluca Nani (the man whose dodgy dealings with clubs like Brescia cost West Ham millions in unpaid fees). I wish all the best for Watford and Zola, as he's a class act and without a doubt one of the nicest blokes in football, and it will be nice to see what he can do with the backing of owners who have real cash to spend, but it's annoying to see those slimes Duxbury and Nani back in places of power in another English football club. Hope they do a better job of serving the interests of their club than they did at West Ham.
I won't meltdown. I like Murray and wish him all the success in the world.
But just not against Federer.
Yup. Feels like he's been around forever.
I don't want the same to happen to Wilshere or Cleverley (hmm, do I?) cause they are good players. But the injuries they both pick up we not promising!
Balotelli was the same, he had a bad knee problem two seasons ago and needed surgery on it a few times. Mancini was worried about it but luckily he went all last season without a flare up so hopefully he is sorted now!
Got his first big injury at about 24, and then it was all downhill after he left Real, but even at Real, he was nowhere near his 200-02 level.

So, Magic Mike was good. Obviously it was about more than just make strippers. However, there were lots of giggly women in the theatre and one women said to me and her gf that she couldn't believe my gf could get a boy to come. I guess that's what happens when people don't give a shit about who directs movies and such. I think Channing Tatum is a good actor, and while there were some things that I felt weren't needed or fleshed out properly it was overall a great experience. I'd see it again, but not in the theater with dumb women. (I can't believe I feel the need to disclaim this but I'm not generalizing that all women are dumb, rather I wouldn't want to be in the theater again with women who also happen to be dumb.)

What hasn't he done, if you know what I mean.
Think he's been taking coke
I have such a hard time believing that Bendtner doesn't blow out his mind on coke.
Some people are questiong his latest injury.
It is alleged that he failed a drugs test whilst out with an injury.
I hear your manager is a crook.

Innocent until proven guilty. I hear your manager had an affair with a player's wife, and a receptionist, before forcing said player out of the club and then getting a court injunction against the Daily Mail to keep them from telling the world what a sleaze bag he is/was. Lol.
For all this ex-agents recent claims about Allardyce among his various twitter rants, it's rather surprising that none of the media have run with the story yet. Bet that's pissing him off - he was probably hoping for some free publicity for his upcoming book.

is he taking diving classes?
Good one
Also, AVB wants Lewandowski, good luck with that...
There's still room for more
Embrace the dark side and show your never ending support for BebeWandering Hands Pardew is so hilarious to me.

He's a big, strong, fit bloke who is not entirely without footballing ability.
But he's made for a the bottom of the league pyramid.
Some players look clumsy with the ball at their feet, but he takes to a whole new level some times.
The funny thing here is, everyone linked with West Ham is/has been dodgy as fuck.
Pardew
Fat Sham
Redknapp
etc
This is what people remember.

I'm not entirely comfortable with him being regarded as a human joke, though. I mean, there are wankers in football who need to be taken down a notch and reminded that they are actually cloggers.
But Bébé was a pawn in Jorge Mendes' game.

Finally. It's so weird that we've signed players this early. Gylfi and Vertonghen, Fryers and Ade on the way. The top 4 fight is going to be amazing.
I admit I am very envious and jealous of your summer transfers. You guys are going to destroy poorer clubs.
And I fully expect you to do Arsenal and even give Chelsea good competition.
I've put a curse on him. Expect season-obliterating cockups.

Good stuff from Spuds. Ade, Gylfi and Vertonghen all good signings with the latter two esp in the long term.

I like how you put the 'etc' there, as if to imply that our string of dodgy managers goes any further back that Harry.
Billy Bonds.
John Lyall.
Ron Greenwood.
Also, nothing dodgy about Zola, Avram, Macari or Roeder. They were just all a bit shit.
Salazar said:
Seriously. It was almost unbelievable, right up to the point when he took out an injunction.
And of course Ajax TV need to do an emotional video of Vertonghen leaving. Fuck you video editors ;(

I didn't say managers!
I wish he came to us instead. Our back line would have been awesome

C'mon Murray!
.
Actually, what does Footiegaf think will happen?
Heart says Murray will win. Head says Federer looks in better form and has more experience. I'm going for a Murray win. Even if it's subjective as like hell.

Hoping Andy wins this, can't stand Federer.
Right you are, I should have paid more attention to the other part of your post;
"The funny thing here is, everyone linked with West Ham is/has been dodgy as fuck."
As if to imply that the club is dodgy as fuck, rather than having misplaced its trust in some dodgy people. But, I guess we're always going to be seen as a bunch of pwoper East End wide-boys by some, lol.

Federer will win. It's a Brit and Wimbledon, of course Murray will lose.
