English Football 2015-16 - Leicester City won the league - Page 1448 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

Apparently Pulis asked for the bonus early so that he could buy his son a house. He left the club two days later and never bought the house.

Looks like his defence wasn't as well organised as it usually is.

He was probably planning on delivering a naked head butt at arbitration but his brief advised against it.

Pro tip: If a GF mentions something to you in a neutral fashion don't bag it out as hocus-pocus until you figure out her view on the matter.

Surprised the price is so low. That is good, nearly risk free business honestly. Should be going for significantly more than that. If he gets his head up to the level of his talent he'll be worth at least triple that.

In b4 hoopie somehow reads this as "LOL Lanzini"

You know it's going to happen though, if Jack can even walk (big if). Woy said so himself.

He's a better player than both of them though, not even close.

I know I'm biased but can a non United fan tell me what they think of Carrick? I'd have him as a starter for England but he can't even make the squad. Kinda amazes me.

I got the first two wrong, lol. Granted, I basically insta-clicked.

Meh at this. Expecting everyone to be 100% rational won't do you any good. I mean if you're being 100% rational, is it a good idea to love in the first place? Philosophy itt.

Of course, if the girl is radical enough about it to break up over horoscopes (if that really was the case), gtfo

I don't think that is in any doubt, but Hodgson has basically said he'll select him if he's fit - you would have thought he would like to make some sort of assessment of his form/abilities before doing that. He hasn't played once this season yet he's planning on taking him to an intensive tournament where we could end up playing three or even four games before we're knocked out.

Having looked at our squad I can reveal that we won't win the Euros.

It is absurd that he can't make the squad yet we have room for the electrifying plop midfield trio.

Didn't even know there was a break coming up until the England team talk started. At least the games sound more interesting than qualifiers against cyprus
