Football and philosophy. I'm picturing a French bloke in a hooped polo neck, wearing a beret and dragging on a Gauloise. "Two footballers stand on zee pitch, back to back, staring at zee goals. Zey see NUSSING!"
What's brilliant about it? I was just talking about our strikers for the past 24 months.

I rarely have original ideas. I knew there was a root to this one. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Zz-U1zYTBmM
Why not now and again say, they offered the better wages, so i signed, football and philosophy don't mix.

How perceptive.
I've asked it before, but I'll ask it again: why do footballers, full time or semi-pro., spout so much guff when they're moving from club to club? When Kyle Bennett moved to Portsmouth he was quoted as saying: "This club are looking to go somewhere and I want to be a part of that......" Now we have Jon Stead, on his move from Bradford City to Notts County, http://www.football-league.co.uk/news/article/2015/jon-stead-reveals-unexpected-influence-in-his-move-to-notts-county-2523185.aspx, coming out with gems such as:".......the club is showing great commitment to get on the right track and I wanted to be part of it.""Guy told me about the project and the club moving forward, first of all getting back into League 1 and kicking on from there."“And speaking to the manager and hearing his philosophy, I’m interested to see, and the manager made it clear I was wanted here.”How does 'the project' at County differ from the one at Bradford City. "Err, they want to get promotion." And the philosophy? "What's that mean?"Come on, Mr Stead, credit us football fans with a smidgeon of intelligence. You're probably going to the Magpies for another payday. What's wrong with that? Absolutely nothing, so why not say so?

Absolutely nothing, so why not say so?sorry to say you might be eating humble pie over this post -- my crystal ball says pompie are past the post as champions -- but this lot who have CONTINUALLY used quality loan players (grealish last season) to avoid the relagation trap door - despite reducing the budget are my PRESENT tip to finish second this dutch manager has already signed some ageing dutch international (or similar) anothe dutch player and when i saw this signing the alarm bells definitely rang then to top it all they then signed a legendary Togolese International (3 caps from some dutch team) here he is "Mawouna Amevor"http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/33378186ironicly he can play in England presumably without a work permit and "bongo " can'tlet's see who else they sign
