Exciting times in the English Championship. Things aren’t looking quite so good for John Hayes‘ finances, however:
Jaysus the top of the championship is like me wallet. ….. its wide open and fuk all in it.
Apologies from all at The42 to Eddie Roche, who was a little spooked by seeing ‘Paul O’Connell’ and ‘Toulon’ in the same story:
I saw the tweet with the picture of him and the headline in French. Not gonna lie, I nearly crapped fearing the worst.
They might not be getting Paul O’Connell, but France’s big spenders have some other high-profile transfer targets in their sights, if James‘ sources are to be believed:
Rumors of Tom Brady and Messi heading too.
Anthony‘s theory, if correct, would explain a lot:
Is it true that Kilkenny women only give birth to girls or hurlers?
Cian Donnellan is a man with a refined taste in literature:
Gary Lineker’s Book of Ghost Stories. Surely sports book of the year 1997!!
Barry Smyth channelled his inner Alan Partridge as Zenit met Sevilla in the Europa League:

He might only have use of one eye but he definitely has a pair of balls on him for coming back to play rugby!! Fair play to him.
Stephen Murphy had the best response to Thierry Henry’s criticism of Javier Hernandez, and he didn’t even have to mention a certain handball incident:
If Henry was doing his job he might have watched Real’s game at the weekend, where Chicharito beat a player got to the end line and squared for a Ronaldo tap in. Ronaldo wheeled away and did his big jump celebration without ever acknowledging Hernandez. Is it not one rule for all?
