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

    would love to be able to claim this as my own, but i cant.


    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

    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.
    OK

    Ronaldo loves himself, says Boban
    Cristiano Ronaldo's selfishness and vanity hampered Portugal at the FIFA World Cup, according to Croatian icon Zvonimir Boban.

    Lahm has just announced his retirement from international football.

    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

    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
    OK

    Your previous Ronaldo love, or at least while he was at MUFC, makes me feel like this was sarcasm, but, i don't understand why.

    Playing with a potentially career ending injury is a pretty silly thing to do....Especially against medical advice. :S
