According to Twitter, reports in Spain that Madrid have accepted our 40m bid for Benzema

oh, Theo's signed a new deal as well

least trustworthy sources on the internet, pehaps slightly behind Wayne Veysey

I saw 2 opposite stories
One day. Cryptic message he's on his way to Arsenal, next day. Arsenal dealt crashing blow as Benzema posts photo on instagram.

Which means it's probably possible.

This Kike Marin fellow seems to be going with. We do want him but it's up to if Madrid want to sell him or not.

Their summer transfer deals are as much predicated by the President’s ego as the actual need for team strengthening.

A player like Benzema, a first 11 player, will only be allowed to leave upon arrival of a replacement, a shiny name replacement to appease the fans. We did not get Ozil as a result of any massive offer which could not be refused, we got him as they needed to recoup some of the monies they spend out on Bale, an arrival which meant he was surplus to requirements which itself is f**king nuts.

Real have already let that Chickarito c**t go so if they sold Benzema they would have one recognised forward who has a girls name.

The French striker is going nowhere until you see them active in the market.

but I agree, can't see us signing Benzema until they have a replacement in

Made sense in a way. Blokes a f**king goal machine and suggestions of his powers on the wane out wide.

Same article suggested Reus was going there to play just behind the main striker with Bale and Rodriguez. Who knows mate, stories change every week and one journalist contradicts another. Best policy is to bury one’s head in the sand and ignore. Focus on the cricket.

I watched them for a while last night actually and thought Isco looked really good.

I congratulate you on your candour in this matter. That's a brave thing to admit.

Sorry, I seem to have reverted to my Croydon childhood. :-(

I have nothing left on the recording device as I watched the final episode of The Tunnel (excellent) and the Interceptor (absolutely abysmal beyond comprehension) this week. I also watched True Detective at the time it aired.

My television outlook is bleak in the extreme save for Cricket maybe and GAA.

I downloaded a load of Time Teams and Grand Designs recently, so I have plenty to fill the idle hour when required.

I find Channel 4 infuriating in these regards.


I actually watched some of Lady Chatterleys Lover last night, on Sky Arts 1. In french.

where you click your fingers together in a waggling motion to make a clicking sound were the traditional responses to a situation such as this.

ty sw.

Then I went to public school and could then stop all that nonsense. Phew!
