Should have done him properly, entitled wee p***k who inherited daddys money.

He was rightly sent off for it. We should see more shithousery from the ball boys.

I respectfully disagree, wee fanny who boasted he was going to do something before the game knowing that daddys money would always protect him. Hazard should have Hartson'd his head into Row Z.

The young ball boy who he punished for superb time wasting shithousery with a boot in the balls is now one of the richest men in the country. 

Is he? AU is worth about £40m.

Or are you taking his father's wealth into it as well?

Hazard was pish.

Back in the 70s Daisy Duke ruled!

Just watching that Paul Merson v Mike Dean debate from Soccer Saturday. I think it is safe to say that Merse had the former whistler on absolute toast. 

Funnily enough, me and the lads in the office have been discussing possible replacements for the increasingly irritating Gary Neville on our once beloved Sky Sports. 

"I'll tell you what" I said. "Here's one for you."

"Paul Merson."

I was expecting to have to argue my case, but it went down an absolute treat.

I put this to Gav from accounts at lunch and - I have to say - the stakes have been well and truly raised. 

"Well, I'm going to give you another name" he says. "You might laugh at me, but I'm going to give you another name."

"Ray Parlour."

[Derry Alli]

We need to rid our once great screens from gingers, not promote them. Tell Gav it's a terrible shout and he's to buy the next two Madri's.

[Bairnardo]

I don’t want to hear from anyone who doesn't want Keysey back. He's served his time, he knows the league and anyway, it's a fucking disgrace that Sky went all woke and chased him out.

Look, it might just be nostalgia, but there's a couple of names I want to throw in;

Iain Dowie? Proven bouncebackablity. 'Member Tim Lovejoy single handedly getting that into the mainstream?

Alternatively - Alan Pardew would absolutely rape it as a presenter, in my opinion.

[Musketeer Gripweed]

Get him back on telly.

[MarkoRaj]

Hazard was top 5 in the world at his peak.

He won Barclays pler of the year twice running.

He couldn't sustain it obviously but the idea that he was some way off the top level is nonsense

[MarkoRaj]

League and cup double and French pler of the year at Lille as well at 20 years old

Some careers have an earlier peak and tail off quicker. Plenty of examples of that, doesn't detract from how good he was

[DrewDon]

These lads truly understand the spirit of the Barclays. 

[ClydeTon]

I would much rather support a bunch of diddy teams (oh, right...) than two teams in the same leagues.

If a, say, Union Berlin fan supports Barcelona as their 'big team' - fine. It's a different country.

If they support Bayern though, different story.

I’d love all these foreign owners of English clubs to fcuk off to Saudi or wherever the owners live.  

In Scotland get Dermot Desmond to take Celtic “home” to Ireland. 
And The Rangers can go back in the sewers with the rats.

You see, this is where Sky, with their diversity quotas and woke PC nonsense are completely missing out. This is the marketplace of ideas, where no subject can't be debated with a straight bat.

That's an upgrade for them tbf

My three favourite parts (no particular order): 

1) "Alderley Wedge"

2) Gray misunderstanding Keysey's argument halfway through about what/who would stay in Newcastle and what/who would go, and then quietly correcting himself in the background like David Brent trying to keep up with Chris Finch

3) The anti-Neville consensus between all three at the end.

J-Lingz getting telt. The Family unit finally being placed at the forefront of footballing considerations.
