It's been a busy week hasn't it? Massive games, huge results, countless transfer stories. But none of that's important is it? We've heard that all before. Wouldn't you prefer to hear about glory supporting Yeovil fans wetting themselves, or Premier League managers eating worms? Good. Here's 10 things you might have missed this week...
Buzzing ā Ryan Giggs was unveiled as the Wales Manager, and because the internet is a horrible place filled with horrible people, the news immediately saw this underwhelmingĀ team talk do the rounds from when he was United caretaker manager. Less of a war cry, moreĀ the deliverance of a school teacher running through the itinerary of a school trip.
Ankle Bashing ā Ever drop a shoulder so hard that you left the goalkeeperĀ withĀ internal lateral ligament injuries in his ankles.Ā That's exactly what Dimitri Payet's deadly bodyĀ causedĀ when he roundedĀ StrasbourgĀ stopper Alexandre Oukidja. 2-0 down. Stretchered off.Ā
Half-Arsed, Half-Board ā Carlos Tevez has taken the money and ran this week as he returned to Boca from China. He scored 4 goals in China and was earning a reported Ā£650k a week. In his first press-conference for Boca he said; "As soon as I landed in China I realised I wanted to be back at Boca again. I was on vacation for seven months." At least he's honest.
Stags and BeesĀ āĀ Rather than opting for the usual long weekend in Benidorm, Nick Goff's mates were a littleĀ more creative for his Stag Do plans. Goff wasĀ unknowingly signed up as an official player mascot as Brentford beat Bolton. He's 40 years old, and aĀ Wolves fan.Ā
Damp Down South ā The magic of the FA Cup was on show again this week as thisĀ Chelsea-jacket-wearing-Yeovil-fan couldn't hide his excitement as he edged towards the ticket office to secure his ticket for the Glovers tie with Manchester United.Ā
Wriggle Out Of This OneĀ āĀ Burnley manager Sean Dyche was forced to deny eating worms this week, after former team-mate Soren Andersen claimed his gravelly voice was due to chewing his wriggly friends; "He had exactly the same voice when he was younger. Maybe the voice comes from eating earthworms, because every time we trained, he used to eat worms."Ā
Fog on the Tyneline ā Gazza is back on Twitter in 2018, and he's everything you'd want him to be; happy, funny, and brilliantly Gazza. Great to see.
Juggling Jamie ā Just Bristol City striker Jamie Paterson showboating with a piece of chewing gum. As impressive as it is unhygienic.
Mean Machine ā Yeah, we ain't marking Conor McGregor onĀ corners.
Ballin' ā This here is the brand new official match ball for the 2018 MLS season. It made its way onto Twitter last night at the Draft Pick and is set to be confirmed by adidas in the coming days.
Now you know. Have a good weekend.
