Maybe just a guest stint, like Eto'o did a few years ago

your-suarez-ban-questions-answered
There seems to be a lot of confusion as to the exact details of the ban handed down to Uruguay and Liverpool’s Luis Suarez by FIFA. Suarez is banned from ALL footballing activity for biting Italian defender Chiellini. WWN is here to clarify the details as we have been busy pouring over our copy of FIFA’s judgement:
How will the ban be enforced?
Luis Suarez will be taken by FIFA’s security team later today to their World Cup headquarters. The striker’s feet will then be slowly lowered into a vat of wet cement, thus encasing them in concrete preventing him from partaking in any football activity.
What if someone kicks a ball at him?
Unfortunately for Suarez this counts as ‘footballing activity’ as stated in FIFA’s judgement. If angry Liverpool fans were to lunge at the striker with a corner flag or throw a water bottle in his direction the ban would be extended to a lifetime ban.
Is he allowed to wear football jerseys?
No, he is not. Likewise his copy of FIFA 2014 has been confiscated. Security personnel have already raided his houses in Liverpool and Montevideo and removed all football related items.
What if I don’t think the ban was severe enough?
Fans who do not think the ban was severe enough have been advised to take to social media to share their opinions with one another. FIFA’s official statement specifically warns against murder.
What can Liverpool FC do?
Right now FIFA’s advice is to lie down in the foetal position and have someone spoon feed ice cream to the club. Fans themselves have been told to find the nearest object and throw it violently while shouting ‘it isn’t fair’ as many times as it takes until the anger subsides.
Can Suarez be transfered?
Yes, he can. But he will be required to switch exclusively to a vegetarian diet and have his teeth removed. Barcelona and Real Madrid are believed to be willing to pay all dental costs.
Could FIFA be bribed to reduce the ban in any way?
Yes.

Leeds have officially gone crazy
http://www.theguardian.com/football/...ed-paddy-kenny
Quote:
The increasingly bizarre world of Leeds United has taken another turn for the strange after it emerged that Massimo Cellino, their maverick new owner, has such a dislike of the number 17 it has turned him against one of the club’s key players who was born on that date.
Cellino is so suspicious of the number 17 that he had the seats at his former club, Cagliari, taken out and replaced with 16B. Now he has instructed the new Leeds head coach, Dave Hockaday, not to select Paddy Kenny after discovering that the goalkeeper’s birthday is on 17 May and concluding that he is bad luck for the Championship club. Kenny, the second-highest earner at Leeds on £10,000 a week, has been left at home while the other players embark on a pre-season trip to Italy and he will not play for the club again.
Cellino, who also has a fear of purple, has separate issues about Kenny allegedly being overweight but is said to have reacted emotionally when he found out the 36-year-old goalkeeper had a connection with the number 17.
The Italian’s superstition about that number is so strong he has told Hockaday it must not form part of the squad list next season. Michael Brown previously wore 17 for Leeds but was released at the end of the season.
The issue goes back to Cellino’s time in Italian football when he says there was only one occasion in 20 years that Cagliari won or drew a game on the 17th of a month. In a recent interview, he remembered that victory and put it down to him asking the club’s supporters to wear the dreaded purple to the game. “The whole stadium was purple on the 17th. We won because I think that bad luck is like algebra: minus and minus is positive. Purple and 17 … they became positive and we won. That’s the only time.”
Cellino completed his takeover of Leeds in April but only after an appeal against the Football League’s decision to try to block him entry on the grounds he had a previous conviction for fraud.
Since then, he has sacked Brian McDermott and unexpectedly brought in Hockaday, who had been out of work for eight months after leaving his previous club, Forest Green, on the back of a run of seven defeats in eight games.
Leeds are now embarking on a cost-cutting process that has seen the canteen at their training ground closed down, meaning the players have to take packed lunches or send out for sandwiches. The players are also being made to pay to have their kits washed. Hockaday will not have control of transfer business and Cellino intends to flood the squad with free signings and cheap Italian imports. Stuart Taylor, who left Reading at the end of the season, has joined Leeds to take over from Kenny.

What a way to bow out at that level.
What a legend. Absolute one of the best defenders I've seen in my lifetime. Shame he didn't stick around for euros but I can't blame the guy. Now to just concentrate on Bayern
Pretty sure he's been in the best FIFA XI for every world cup he's played in
He really is. ****ing EPL only watching mongs who go on about the relatively shit right backs in that league being the best in the world and completely ignoring this bloke. Absolutely amazing player.Quote:

Danke Phillip
Lahm is life, Lahm is love.
So versatile, and seems to be the ultimate professional.
I'm really impressed by this move by him - part of it would be because he's done all he wants etc, but the other part is he'd realise there needs to be a young guy to step up and fill his void.
I feel really old now that the Harry Kewell's, Lahm's, all those big names that I've grown up with, etc are starting to retire! And that makes me a bit scared :rof:
yeah haha playing with a potentially career threatening knee injury despite all medical staff from real madrid advising him to sit out the tournament. he was well below par but didn't want to let his country down.Quote:

pls
I'm guessing you guys down under wouldn't be aware that two Newcastle United supporters were on the Malaysia Airlines flight that was shot down over Ukraine a couple of days ago.
The news has our club in mourning more so because the two lads (John Alder & Liam Sweeney) who lost their lives were well known and liked amongst our away support. Alder had amazingly only missed one toon game in 41 years! The pair were travelling to New Zealand for the fixtures against Wellington Phoenix and Sydney FC, which should have been the trip of a lifetime.
I knew neither of them personally but remember John Alder well from when I was going to away games regularly a few years back. I didn't know his name but some of the lads called him "the undertaker" because he always wore a suit. When the news broke fans started laying flowers outside St James Park, at the statue of Sir Bobby. I wasn't at work so I spent most of the day on my laptop reading what other fans had to say.
Anyway last night the strangest thing happened...
A lad from Sunderlands most popular message board www.readytogo.net said he'd be going to Newcastle on Sunday and asked if anyone would like to chip in for some flowers. He started this online donation thing with a fiver, hoping to raise a hundred quid. Have a look http://www.gofundme.com/brx6wk
24 hours later the Mackems have raised over £12,500. Personally i'm astonished, impressed, grateful and just happy football fans can make the news for the right reasons once in a while. It's a shame it's taken a tragedy for us to put the petty bullshit away but Sunderland, we salute you.

Hi turbo. I had read this had occurred but I saw it on a British site. The news here has been about the families of Aussies who died, mostly. It's all too terrible and difficult to comprehend.Quote:

Wow. Thanks for sharing.
What a f'ed up world we live in huh? There's millions of amazing people but you only need a handful of arseholes to ruin things.
Man City and Arsenal tipped to be coming out next year for an all stars game.
I dare say Man City will definitely come out. I think they need to to solidify this relationship with Melbourne City, so probably a friendly with them and maybe an allstars game in Sydney.
Interested to see if Arsenal come out. Pretty big supporter base in Australia.

This is a great little story. Kudos to Villarreal.
