Football confessions
Uhhh... okay</b>
Pelligrini is an interesting man. Do you know: Pelligrini used to have a temper, but once he became coach, he went to psychologists to sort that out. He also took singing lessons because he needed his voice to carry in a locker room!
I feel you, OP. You can't even stan for players because you don't know if they're **** boys IRL

It's been a week of riches. First, we had Tío Rafa at Anfield, and now, D. Agger

Liverpool 0 - 1 Manchester United
Oy vey at yesterday's match. But the flags are back at Anfield after a lot of todo and haggling. So win

Word has it that even if Shawcross wanted to get into the Welsh NT ( he's been passed over the English NT due to his wild tackles - so they say) he wouldn't be able to because of Ramsey
Butland made his case for being England's no 1!

Sorry, I'm just grabbing them as I can
Messi showed off the Balon De Snore- I mean, Balon D'or. It's not Messi's fault, as much as FIFA for not realising that strikers aren't the only players on the pitch
Real Madrid went five up over Sporting Gijon, but Bale is injured and Ronaldo got away with unsportsmanlike behaviour
Jonjo Shelvy played his first game for Newcastle, and was a game changer! Shelvy's talent has never been in doubt, his consistency and temperament on the other hand...
Dele Alli is a talent, but his temper can and is a concern. I just appreciate the fact that he's called clever. You don't get a lot of non white players being called that!
OP: done! Cheers, jeers, corrections, commentary pushback and overlooked news! You know the drill!
