That's why I wrote almost. Otherwise he would be a robot or something like that.

He is probably the only player Cristiano Ronaldo was shitting bricks in front of. Ash almost always got the better of Ronaldo.

Here right now bloody hot. I can't imagine I would have to live in it every day. God bless autumns and winters

Goalkeeper Richard Kingson has claimed he rejected a $300,000 offer to throw a match when playing for Ghana at the 2006 World Cup in Germany. Kingson, 34, told the Synagogue Church of All Nations in Nigeria that the offer had been made before his team took on Czech Republic in the competition's group stages. He claimed the bribe was to ensure that the Czechs won 2-0 - but he had rejected it after his wife pleaded with him not to lose his dignity. Kingson told the church's broadcast channel Emmanuel TV he had "got confused by weighing the options of getting richer by $300,000 after that match, whereas all that I would get in the event of a Ghana victory would be much less - just $3,000". He explained: "In the 2006 World Cup in Germany, we were about to play Czech Republic. By then they were the second best in the world. "A Ghanaian led me to some people to take a bribe and it was this woman [his wife] who delivered me and delivered Ghanaians. I was very confused and I didn't know what to do but I called her and told her. My wife said: 'Richard, I love you not because of your money, so don't get tempted by this offer to lose your dignity and credibility.'" Goals from Asamoah Gyan and Sulley Muntari saw Ghana beat the Czechs 2-0. They went on to qualify for the knockout phase, in which they were beaten 3-0 by Brazil. espn.co.uk

Full story Awful, this world is just mad. Seriously, WTF? Edit - Hall is arrested, still not proven guilty.

The thing is he can't fully stretch out his arm. If he does so, he is in pain. I know he is a pro but might this be the reason why, sometimes, he just stands and doesn't 'go' for the ball? Last season there a few goals like this - of course, some beautifl shots but there were some questions on here. He's been in pain for months.

'Frozen out at Chelsea'

Just saw this bit of news in our press, confirmed by the doc. Petr has been having long-term problems with his elbow so Chelsea FC asked our national team not to call him for friendly games planned for this year. We agreed so Petr will not feature in the Tuesday's game and in following international friendly matches. And after the season, Petr will undergo a surgery. Petr said - 'My arm is injured, it's been some time now. I will miss the following game so I can recover more quickly.' His doc said - 'There's a little ossification in his elbow, after this season he will undergo a surgery in England. He can't fully stretch out his arm. If he does so, it hurts. However, there is nothing that could make the conditition of his elbow worse. Is the surgery urgent? Only in case the soreness is much worse or the elbow would be blocked somehow.'

Not officially unseen but still

8 - All eight penalties England have scored (excl. shootouts) since September 2003 (Beckham) have been taken by Frank Lampard. Expert.

I was not particularly referring to the game, I was talking in general. Just my hope, as at the club level he has been quite poor lately.

I just hope the situation now won't be upside down - he has used to be brilliant for the club and poor for England and I so hope it won't be vice versa.

Hope you didn't jinx it! In the Premiership you can never make such predictions.

Rooney definitely.

Cech! A corner in the last minutes, we need a goal so we send Petr to the box and he takes advantage of his height a scores a winner with a great header.

Congrats Didi! It is so right to see you with a trophy and among Chelsea players. Lovely how Ash watches Drogs speaking And Ivan, just lol.

If he had never made it, no one would have. I am so glad, he is definitely our next 1st choice left-back. Also I'm happy he has been so patient during all those years.

Steve I'll keep my fingers crossed until I see a regular smile on your face. If there is anything I could do for you, sky is the limit mate.

That Drogba pic is miles from being funny! You probably meant to post it in the 'The unlikeliest thing' topic.
