news round up
A request for the mods
Hello mods, can I please have a tag for 'football kits' (you can replace the adidas impossible for that, since boots are a part of a player's kit if there's no more space, perhaps), and club: sunderland? Thanks!
Chatter from the sidelines (not repeating the Xavi or Figo posts)

Where my popcorn at, The agent called Carra a knob, said that the meeting didn't matter because Sterling's mind was made up, he was going to London, because other big clubs wanted Sterling. LFC cancelled the meeting, and now Ward (Sterling's agent) said that his comments were taken out of context- and 'off the record.' Hah. - Liverpool cancel contract talks with Raheem Sterling after agent attacks club talk about overshowing your hand.

I think football coaches have a special breed of madness about them, tbh. Planning football tactics is like building a sandcastle in a hurricane

OP: done. I'm off. The usual applies, overlooked news, cheers, jeers and commentary pushback, leave word. Sorry, I can't get around to the tags right now. If anyone has time, can you put in a few for me? If not, I'll do it when I come back later.
