Balotelli allergic to grass?

Mario Balotelli suffers an allergic reaction to the GRASS in Kiev | The Sun |Sport|Football

might be a bit of a hindrance to him being "the greatest ever footballer in the world... ever"

 

[cHodAX]

Wierd one that, how is he only just finding out a grass allergy after years of football around the world?

2nd division French side FC Borne bid for Lionel Messi, French FA not amused...

President suspended over village team bid for Barcelona's Lionel Messi | Football | guardian.co.uk

their president is then suspended for six months hah

guess they have to punish it or every transfer window barca and other big clubs could end up bombarded with offers for their stars from jokers at small clubs (amusing headline potential though, Woking bid 30 pence for Cristiano Ronaldo, €2 for Aguero! Hope to storm Conference South!)

Aston Villa: Homeless man found living under the Holte End stand in 'Shanty town' house - Top Stories - News - Birmingham Mail

 

[Cerb]

See! When Turamber said he wasn't an "Armchair fan" he meant it! He doesn't even have an armchair!

 

[megadave]

The homeless man stated the Holte end made the perfect home due to his peace and quiet not being disturbed once in several years

Hurr hurr!

Carrol looked good tho!

he looked alright but your play style went straight into nothing but hoof-ball when he came on

 

[Corran]

Typical scottish manager. Send an English player for an op when there a big International game

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Carroll might look good but without any genuine width you won't get the best out of him.

 

[Lethul]

Carroll might look good but without any genuine width you won't get the best out of him.

I know, hopefully this summer will fix that! (crosses fingers!) Will be neat to have suarez running circles around him too

 

[tierk]

Spot on. Pretty sure that will be fixed in the summer though.

[Corran]

haha, what a rocking outfit! honest!

Ok, story is from the sun but got to take it with a pinch of salt

Utd - Rodwell and Ashley Young

Apparently looking at £25m for Rodwell, plus swooping to get both Ashley Young and Ciaran Clark.

Certainly would add more depth to the midfield if manage to pull that off, and I think Everton may be willing to deal due to the fact Man Utd agreed to back off in January to allow them to keep Rodwell for this seasons tight battle.

Certainly be much happier with Rodwell than Carrick

I believe it cos, he signed a 5 year contract which means "hai, I wanna go to salford but Im aware im an everton lad so I will sign a 5 year deal so everton get maximum dollar"

 

[Corran]

Sounds about right. lol.
Ashley Young with his contract running down could well be a good grab. £10-12m in summer, or nothing at end of contract. Not that he been outstanding in recent times, but maybe he could make the step up

BREAKING TEAM NEWS FROM OLD TRAFFORD
Manchester United line up with seven defenders in their starting XI - it appears Fabio and Rafael will play on either wing. Wayne Rooney and Javier Hernandez start up front. Arsenal, without the injured Cesc Fabregas, pick a strong line-up with Robin van Persie on his own up front.

olol United playing 7-3, and we thought Liverpool were defensive with 5 at the back of late

 

[Bahumat]

Fergie just said Gibson and O'Shit in midfield

 

[Vladamir]

What was Chicarito doing on his knees before the whistle just went?

 

[Cerb]

Jesus thats some starting 11. To be fair the young lads aren't doing to bad on the wings so far.

 

[Bahumat]

Haha what a goal! Hernandez did well to get so much power on the header.

 

[Everz]

Arsenal look as toothless as ever tbh.

 

[Embattle]

Seems typical Arsenal.
