Is that because holding bollocks up to his face is a completely different vibe?

I can't begin to say how much I just want to get back to thinking about the football.

Scouting.

Only v slightly off-topic, but WTAF?

Delldays is plural, so probably that many.

However bad we think it's going to be I'm pretty sure the actual judgment will be worse. After what happened at the end of last season it's hard to fall back on wishful thinking.

This is one of the Argentinian newspapers that cheer-led the junta in the 70s as they hurled dissidents out of helicopters. So this is pretty much what you'd expect.

So give him the exact same gear that Will Salt had? I like this idea.

Awful. Loved every minute of his time at Southampton, even though I couldn't quite believe he'd signed for us. What a loss to English football.

Obliviously

Someone should check the training ground periphery for Daily Mail reporters.

And here he is actually saying it. Rogan buys it hook line and sinker of course. Absolute worthless piece of shit.

Genuinely unsure whether these repeated outbreaks of punnery are the result of summer boredom or mad cow disease.

As pissed off as UEFA are, I'm not sure they really want to go nuclear on this. But they could conceivably clip Infantino's wings by insisting on some rule changes to remove any ambiguity about outside interference on in-game decisions, including from Infantino himself. As to Infantino's majority, is it as secure as all that? African FAs are not best pleased with the way they've been marginalised and defunded in favour of gulf states who have no use for football except as a means of sportswashing.

Ah but that's the point. like a lot of exotic birds, they behave recklessly and pointlessly to demonstrate their fitness. As the evolutionary biologist Jared Diamond has clearly shown, birds like eg the bowerbird look odd and do odd things to demonstrate their fitness to their potential mates, as if to say (because in Ducky's world they do apparently speak): if I can do this, looking like this, and survive I must be BRILLIANT. BTW all fit birds are male.

This would be a contender as fittest bird overall, the long wattled umbrellabird - although not entirely sure it isn't a Ducky selfie

WTF is a "fit bird" - a pigeon with abs?

Trump/Infantino baiting at its finest

It gets worse. Having heard nothing from FIFA, the Belgian FA wrote for an explanation. FIFA - or their Qatari representative Salman al-Ansari - wrote back saying that Belgium's request constituted an appeal against the suspension. So they'd have to make a full case for an appeal, but in any case there was no time to hear it. It's not just that FIFA are quisling shitbags to Trump and are happy to gaslight a UEFA member; we really need to get petrostate money out of football. https://www.rbfa.be/en/news/update-rbfa-statement-regarding-folarin-balogun

Well done Belgium, and well done Trump for proving with 100% certainty that everything he touches turns to shit.

The biggest fattest lie is in the third paragraph. How many calls has he ever had from heads of state about lifting a sanction on a player just before a crucial world cup finals match? And hiding behind a "legal process" that wouldn't have existed were it not from that call is not giving him the cover he thinks it does. Everyone can see what he's doing, and he's only looking more ridiculous because Trump doesn't bother to hide his corruption, and he doesn't care that Infantino is the fall guy for it. He's toast.

Now that Trump heads FIFA anything's possible.
