This is absolutely horrific. The thought of some of these ****ers being given immunity in the States makes it even worse.

That there is still room for the long ball in football. Trailing 0-4 from the first leg in the Division One play offs, Sheffield Wednesday decided that the time for the tippy tappy stuff at the back was over and they launched every 2nd ball down the line and chased and harried and literally put Peterborough in the words of their former manager "under pressure" and it worked. Result 5-1 and through on penalties.
