What you missed while trying to pirate the wrong kind of ship…
- Queens Park Rangers owner Lakshmi Mittal is now richer than Manchester City owner Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed al Nahyan.
- In other “they have more money than me” news, Fabio Capello is England’s richest manager with a net value of £30 million. Number two on the list? Roy Keane, valued at £27 million.
- Bolton’s Kevin Davies has resigned himself to the likelihood that he’ll never play for England.
- Alberto Aquilani (who’s still weeks away from appearing for Liverpool) has blamed his poor injury history on Roma’s medical staff.
- Didier Drogba says that Chelsea would take Patrick Vieira “anytime”, which is good; due to Chelsea’s transfer ban, “anytime” is likely to be the summer of 2011.
- 36-year old Brazilian left back Roberto Carlos has offered to play for Real Madrid for for free.
- In amateur French soccer news: a team comprised entirely of gay Frenchmen (named, fittingly, “Paris Foot Gay”) is asking for sanctions against an all Muslim team that refused to play against them.
“the pirates seemed to be surprised that the navy ship fought back. “
It was a French ship. I’m also surprised they fought back.
Good point.
Lakshmi Mittal is HOT on Top Chef! What?!
Also, with a last name like “Davies” I’d think he might want to do a little investigating for a Welsh grandparent because, after all, England is has only won one more World Cup than Wales!
