I don’t understand why the players can’t be paid a modest stipend from TV revenue/shirt sales while they are still ”student” athletes. It could be that simple.

(I mean, I do know. It just sucks.)

This needs at least 500% more stars.

I thought you were going to a Billy Bragg place, and now I am sad.

This obsessive watcher thinks you are 100% correct.

When centre-backs think they are footballers, eh?

If I could I would give you many extra stars for the use of numpty.

This. Is. Wonderful.

Sadly, Deschamps will not let them play. Also, I don’t know if I’ve said this before (I’ve certainly thought it before) but I love your username.

I just said almost the exact same thing to my wife.

He might not even have realized there was an issue, though.

Congratulations on spectacularly missing the joke.

Oblak is probably going to be one of the many to leave Atleti this season, but if I could choose for Liverpool I would take Allison.

Oblak! That’s the other one I was trying to remember. As a Milan fan I sincerely hope Donnarumma stays but I’m not confident. I don’t see him going to LFC either, though.

They’ve been reported to be interested in Roma’s Allison for much of the season.

Fabinho will provide the defence with far better protection, whichin turn frees up Henderson to play further forward where he’s far more effective. Keita has had some disciplinary issues in Bundesliga but I think he’s a good fit for the Premier League.

You mean the SPFL Scottish Premiership?

I think Kaká’s knees were the bigger impediment to his form at Real.

He’s not the worst (Stu Holden is, in fact, the worst) but I’d rather have the international feed any day.

All I have to say to this is HEY ANDY ANDY, ANDY ANDY ANDY ANDY ROBERTSON!

I loved that line so much. It wouldn’t have landed anywhere near as well if it hadn’t been delivered by May.
