Paul Merson mentioned a footballer called Charlie Oatway as someone who man marked him out a game once. Being that I’m nosy, I got on Wikipedia to see Charlie Oatways story. Do me a favour please, go on Wiki and read his full name.
Did you know that 49% of players to ever play a Premier League game have played in a game either alongside or against James Milner?
He's had 281 different teammates in a Premier League game, playing alongside players born in every year from 1968 to 2007.
Mad how this season has gone so far.
Champions Liverpool been mostly crap. FA Cup winners Palace been mostly crap. League Cup winners Newcastle been mostly crap.
LA law firm offers to evict Billie Eilish from her mansion on behalf of the Tongva tribe.
“Eilish’s admission that she lives on stolen land gives the tribe a rightful action for possession as the true owner of the property.
The 30-day notice is already written and ready to be served.”

BREAKING: The Chicago Bulls are trading center Nikola Vucevic and a second-round pick to the Boston Celtics for Anfernee Simons and a second-round pick, sources tell ESPN.
It's an unfortunate situation but in a world where people on the breadline are being laid off daily, it's very hard to have sympathy for someone on tens of thousands of pounds a week.
Dwight McNeil’s partner has had her say about Crystal Palace after her boyfriends move collapsed yesterday:
“Tonight, and the last 48 hours, have broken my heart to see how the football world you love so much can be so cruel to you.
To have something promised to you, to have
been dragged along on an emotional
rollercoaster, and to be toyed with until the
final minute. To have 4 and a half years of
your life promised to you, traveling,
medicals, agreements made... promises
made. To have prepared to move your
entire life, our life’s 100s of miles away
in the space of a few hours.
For it to be torn away from you at the last second, with absolutely no explanation. Going from everything - to radio silence, no phone call, no communication and be left,
broken hearted with nothing but confusion, has hurt more than I can say.
I sit with you, knowing in my heart and deep down into my soul that you will bounce back from this. I am your biggest supporter. I know you will overcome this with a fire in your belly and a motivation that no one can stop. I have already seen it tonight, even
whilst you’re facing the lowest point of your career.
We live in a world where everyone is aware how big of a problem mental health is, so in football, why do we find it acceptable because these young men are on a lot of money, that it’s okay to mess and toy with their mental health and that’s it just ‘part of the job’!
No matter of money, we all deserve to be treated with respect, kindness and fairly.
So I really question the industry tonight. I only hope there’s more done in the future to protect people from situations like what I’ve witnessed tonight.
Football is brutal and yes, it’s the nature of the beast, but messing with
human beings feelings and emotions shouldn’t be acceptable.
People only see one side on the media, you don’t see the tears, the emotion and the distress I’ve seen tonight.”
This doesn’t look great on Crystal Palace... 🫣
