And the Championship, hence why QPR are looking at a big fine.

Well NV used to live in Germany which has a border with Poland and for the time being he resides in Manchester which has a large Polish community. Clearly we are going to be taken over by a Polish- Candian consortium...

Don't forget about the tax they will be paying out of that wage. I think it's sometimes easy as fans to forget that for players it's a job and I doubt that many of us would turn down a job offer which doubled our salaries, had better opportunities and offered more security. I don't blame Albrighton, but I do think Leicester are crazy for offering him that contract.

Mendi's no longer an active poster.

Is this what he was asking for? It can't be what he was on (can it?). That's what he's been reportedly offered at Leicester. tbf, on a free transfer a 3 year deal would only be costing Leicester £5.5m all in. That isn't a bad deal. The problem with releasing plyers like Marc is how much will it cost to replace him? Even if we pick someone up 'cheap' for ~£3m. To be fair it's not like he was a regular in the starting line up anyway. I suspect they will look to Robinson and Grealish to step up and fill his boots. As for Leicester, the problem they will find is that every player they will want to sign this summer will look at that deal and use it to their advantage when negotiating.

That rumour was going around after the Palace game but it's since been confirmed he was on the coach with the rest of the squad. I don't there's any big conspiracy here, it seems Marc has been offered a big contract at another club and we've decided that we aren't going to match it. Good luck to him but he's certainly not indispensable and if he was asking for big bucks then I don't blame the club for releasing him.

Signing Albrighton on that kind of wage this early in the summer seems crazy to me. Surely every player who they approach from now on will look at the fact that a pretty mediocre winger is on 35k a week and will be rubbing their hands together in anticipation.

England didn't bid for the 2022 World Cup.

I see Luke Moore has joined Toronto FC. His 3rd North American club this year, it's almost as if he's on one big jolly over there...

I certainly wouldn't put Cahill above Vlaar either. I would do at his current level but when he was at Villa he was pretty naive, even when he went to Bolton it took him a while to get into his stride. As for Collins, he was a liability who constantly gave the ball away, no thanks.

They should just go the whole hog and let Vitesse Arnhem into the Championship.

That account was specifically set up to feed out information to fans. They even say that if you read through the tweets. I followed that account when it was confirming details when Lambert came in and it's definitely sanctioned by the club.

They helped make MW3, not MW2. I know I'm alone here but I still think of MW2 as my favourite despite it's obvious flaws. I can't put my finger on why but I had so much fun and put some many hours into that game, much more than any other COD game.

This is the watch I want next.

So looks like it was a heroin overdose. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/news/peaches-geldof-died-of-heroin-overdose-9309048.html

Thing is, he's right.

Off topic.

A bit of thread necromancy I know, but Jimbo's "...especially from a German, for goodness sake." was superb on yesterday's pod.

Lennon has denied it on Twitter, calling it 'bollocks'. Seems that it's so plausible that it's easy enough to make it up for people to believe it and spread it on Twitter.

I stayed at Sunset Hill Resort in Koh Phangan. It's a bit out of the way but it's very good value and has an amazing pool. Worth checking out but you'd have to get a taxi or hire a scooter if you wanted to go the full moon party.

It's the usual Mourinho trick though wasn't it? Create a bit of a fuss and distract from his own side's failings. Nearly all the media coverage seems to have been about him rather than the game.

It's in Uruguay is it not? Exactly why Mike was right to refuse to believe it was in Argentina. To be fair I'm pretty sure it was technically part of Pangaea when Mike was a young'un.
