Football (Soccer) Rumours

Sorry Man U fans, I'm not having a dig at Utd, but I think your understand why I find this amusing.

Man Utd's new 7mil pound player, Bebe, (who Fergie signed without seeing him play), is so bad he cannot get a place in Utd's reserve team.

Utd fan here Galee. I know you arent having a dig but be careful there are some very sensitive people out here!

I just read the article. It seems a bit early to make any comment on him given he's only been there a couple of weeks. Lets give him some time, at least a year to see if he can break into the first team. I just hope hes not another djembe djembe (excuse the spelling) After all if the scouts and Carlos recommended him and Real and others were after him he must have something!

Another sad day for World Football!!!

IMO ....... This " distraction " could explain mr Rooneys rather dismal performance in the world cup and his poor start to the new season - other things on his mind - not focussed on footy knowing the shat is gonna hit the fan at anytime .

Cheryl Cole and Ashley Cole of Chelsea were divorced on Friday after 4 years of marriage citing husband Ashley's unfaithfulness.
Dont suppose Cheryl is too worried....she was voted FHM's most beautiful women for 2010 in the magazines readers poll !

Cheryl's people were in it because she was getting bad press about her alleged racialist attack (physical & verbal) that she had made on another girl in a night club. Ashley's people were in it as he was the centre of gossip about his alleged homosexuality.
A real marriage made in heaven with an expiry date & method that highly suited both parties!!!!

The natural conclusion to a marriage of two people each in love with themself
