David Warner
‘Aussie Ashes hero’ David Warner continuously seems to show himself to be an ungracious, uncultured, boorish, boastful, smug, unlikeable pr!ck. My question is, is he just really, really thick or is he genuinely the biggest f@#kwit in world cricket since Harbijan Singh ?

Re: CL DRAW
English clubs are more than three times as likely to finish a Champions League knockout game with 10 men than a Premier League match.

Re: FA Cup 3rd Round Draw.
There was contact no arguments there but I reckon Suarez's action of throwing himself in the air dramatically made it impossible for Webb to give a penalty as the minimal contact made would not have caused that reaction naturally. The ref has to be certain, but he gave him cause to doubt

Not too bothered really, but Webb was shite. Dished out cards like they were going out of fashion (except to Podolski) , and gave only one of three blatant pens.

My son was in the SAP program last year and again this year, and he played at the most (arguably) unpopular club in the northern zone. This year the spots available for SAP doubled as it went from North/East and South/West last year to North, South, East and West this year. That expansion is great ...

Re: Which club told their kids not too wear club guernsey
It's interesting that some seem to make excuses as to why certain kids were chosen for SAP over others and what club you choose at U6 say, is the only thing that determines whether you get into programs like SAP. Some of those 10/11 year olds that did get into SAP, including the North zone, do trai...
