Anyone know what these rumours about Steven Gerrard are? Im not talking about his wife being a cokehead and shagging scouse gangsters, but apparantly there is a huge rumour doing the rounds about him but no one seems to want to go into details on other forums.

Manchester United are the world's most valuable sports club, according to a report by Forbes.

The American wealth magazine put the Red Devils at the top of their latest list of the world's richest football clubs, with an estimated value of £1.2 billion.

And that leaves United flying high at the top of the sporting tree, ahead of the NFL's top team the Dallas Cowboys (£1.072 billion), and baseball's number one club the New York Yankees (£1.040 billion).

Spanish giants Real Madrid are second on the list of top football clubs at £859m, with Arsenal third on £767m.

European and Spanish champions Barcelona are fourth on £650m, but are the only debt-free side in a top six that is rounded out by Bayern Munich and Liverpool.

Chelsea have slipped behind Juventus to ninth on the list after posting losses of nearly £50 million - the worst financial performance of any club in the top 20 - while Newcastle cling on to their place in the top 20 despite their relegation at the end of last season.

Rank ---- Team ---- Country ---- Value

1 ---- Manchester United ---- England ---- £1,192m

I don't actually mind Colin Murray (he's good on Fighting Talk). Count your blessings; it could have been Tim Lovejoy...

 

[leviathane]

i can't stand the guy

 

[Ch3tan]

The beeb were so short sighted in screwing over Chiles for that ginger tosser Evans.

They have a very poor talent pool for sporting presenters. Only guy that should be fronting all their sports shows and is not is John Inverdale, Book After Dinner Speaker John Inverdale

Would agree with Inverdale, top notch.

 

[leviathane]

ye Inverdale actually knows his shit too.

 

[amodien]

i can't stand the guy

He's also a Pool fan.

Too many ex Pool players as pundits for my liking.

Has Gerrard's WAG been cheating on him? | World Cup Wags

lol, a 16 year old. That would make me lol so hard

 

[Marc]

I cant see it being true given that Steven Gerrard is quite simply, the most boring person you could wish to meet. He has the charisma of a paper bag. I doubt he even shagged his missus.

 

[Wonk]

heh, Zlatan and Victor Valdés ran the same distance in the inter - barca match.

 

[megadave]

the part about his wife is probably true


wtf Wonk, that's a crazy stat, where you find it?

 

[Wonk]

It's from Marca

 

[megadave]

[Vladamir]

[ileks]

WTF Adebayor? I can't actually think of a worse candidate that speaks English to do that job.

 

[Ch3tan]

Go go Forlan

 

[Lethul]

Forlan 1-0 with a really shit goal. Carragher xDDD

Carra really have to be the worst defender playing atm

 

[megadave]

Liverpool are always shit away from home it looks like in Europe, no matter the excuse.

Then as soon as they come to Anfield its inevitable they win.

So annoying.
