Yep, it’s Friday, so here are ten things that you might have missed this week from the world of football, including the real inspiration behind the PFA Player of the Year trophy, promotion drunkeness, and that bad dude from Game of Thrones.
The Beautiful Game... Of Thrones – Imagine this son of a bitch strolling up to your Kop in a Stone Island jacket, arms spread after pinging a half empty bottle of Stella in your direction. Get him down Millwall away.
Going Up or Down? – Sheff United's promotion celebrations were fairly muted. Maybe he was that hammered he thought that's how you board the top deck of a double decker bus? One way ticket to the Premier Legaue please, boss.
Richard Beerman – Following the Blades' promotion, the players went out for a couple of lemonades. Richard Stearman may or may not have woken up in a skip the following morning.
Start 'Em Young – Infant Villa fan: will sing for sweets.
Freudian Slip – Shearer nails Manchester United's current predicament.
Ip, Dip, Dogshit – Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa is probably pleased he won't have to play Ispishiwichtch next season.
In A League Of His Own – Following his mid-week masterclass against Liverpool, Messi's goalscoring prowess against England's top sides has been highlighted. It bares repeating: this guy has never played in the Premier League.
Dutch Destroyer – Hats off to this inventive transformation of Spurs' shirt sponsor by an Ajax fan. Especially when you consider he chuckled to himself at home before nipping down the shop to arm himself with a red pen for his trip to London. Pre-planned, this. Good effort.
Keep Them Closed – Ghosted through from downtown. Majestic.
Limbs – Virgil van Dijk may have won the award, but who's got the real honour here?
Throwback Becks – Memphis saluting the main man on his birthday in retro royalty.
Rocket – Scrap the play-offs. Eastleigh should have been granted automatic promotion the moment the ball left Danny Hollands' left boot.
Is that 10? Ish. Soz for spoiling Game of Thrones for you...
