I bet he's been all over Google Maps, saw there was a Primark at the Fort and thought "Yes, I'm fucking in"

You may mock but I once saw Uncle Albert shopping in Next at The Fort. I thought millionaire footballers might shop somewhere a bit more exclusive that that.

Thought the commentary on the lack of aggression/physicality was interesting, as the key reason why CL clubs have looked elsewhere. To be honest I've never been all that impressed by Torres on the handful of times I've seen him for Villarreal or Spain for that exact reason. PL defending does require aggression and strength. Mings hasn't a hope of being able to play RCB either so it's a competitor for his spot at LCB realistically, there is a huge difference in playing RCB or LCB, witness even John Terry's pathetic efforts at RCB in the 2010 WC!


Terry was right-footed.

He couldn't play RCB is the point. Mings won't be able to either.

Paula likes pissing on baby mice, and Pau takes drugs in the night.

Who is UA?

Ursula Andress?

Dr. No.

FTFY
Sigh! Why did you do that? The whole point of me posting 'No' was to reference the Bond film. Jesus! Can't you just enjoy the wordplay? Does every intertextual metatextual reference have to be explained and underlined? FFS!

It was Sean Connery in Dr No, not Roger Moore.
