The Soccer Thread (Version 8)

Palace, Pulis, Parish... This has the makings of a fine comedy sketch.

Same old shit from Man U. Lose at home to open against Swansea. Better start scheduling School for the Blind.

 

Impressed by the comedic skills of Rebecca Lowe.

 

Arsenal get a garbage goal in stoppage time to win 2-1 and avoid an opening-day sweep by visiting teams.

 

I don't condone pitch invasions ... but this is brilliant. http://gfycat.com/BaggyHeavenlyArcticduck#?format=gif Also, a bird apparently dropped its, er, payload into Ashley Young's mouth.

This is just on opening day.

 

Man United looked simply awful. If it wasn't with Januzaz or Rooney, they looked like a relegation team.

 

The pass from Cesc yesterday was just fantastic.

 

Super Mario to Liverpool. I guess they needed more drama.

 

With Suarez gone, they definitely needed someone that would add some flair and drama....

 

Crystal Palace are in complete chaos. First Pulis resigned, now the director and the top candidate for coach are both out after some shocking text messages between the two came to light.

Tim Howard is taking a year off from international play, until Sept. 2015 -- "as many as eight friendly matches" and the Gold Cup. He wants to spend more time with his family... and perhaps try to make a move to a different club?

He is not retiring from international play, and acknowledged he'll have to compete to get his spot back.

Don't fuck with the man in the leather gloves.

As many here know, I'm an employment lawyer and as part of my job I do harassment training for my company's executives. I tell them that if they feel the need to send e-mails, texts or IMs which they wouldn't want their employer or their family to read, do it on a device which is not tied to any work server. Otherwise, they should expect it to be read and possibly published.
