Nice one for that. Who doesn't love the bloke?

Genetically, paedophiles have more genes in common with crabs than they do with you and me. Now that is scientific fact. There's no real evidence for it, but it is scientific fact.

When Leon went to Sheff Utd for 7 months...

“Swansea were playing Wigan in a League Cup game, it was October and I was a bit wary of going over because I didn’t know what reception I’d get,” Britton recalls. “But in the concourse they were all singing my name, thousands of Swansea fans. I knew I’d made a mistake leaving the club, and that moment, hearing the singing, made me want to go back to Swansea even more. It was surreal and I’ll always remember that night.”

Yes, I have to admit that we were both amongst those at Wigan!

Quite a bit and sadly I don't see that being beaten by him.

Is Roger the all time appearance record holder? Think he's in the high 600's for all competitions.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

Milne is top for League appearances, but I don't think he is for total league and cup. Soccerbase reckons Freestone's got 676 total.

I would have this man's baby. I understand giving birth smarts a bit but I would be okay if I got my breathing right.
