Mark Gonzalez

I’m sure many of us have happily forgotten Mark Gonzalez. Who is he? you ask. Well, a certain Premiership club paid £4.5 million for the privilege of signing him in 2005. When, after signing him, the club were denied in their application for a work permit, the manager of this famous club said:

A fantastic clip for your listening pleasure.

Peter Kenyon, you are a tool.

Steve Claridge on Tony Adams

The Arse Legend was sacked from his post as “manager” of Portsmouth Football Club last night. Former Portsmouth Legend Steve Claridge chimed in with
Tony Adams … was a victim of circumstances

The One with the young, up & coming United striker

Did you see the young United striker get his first Premier League goal over the weekend?
That’s right. Frazier Campbell scored for Tottenham in their 2-1 defeat at Fulham (yes, Fulham), to follow the two scored mid-week against Liverpool. He was at it again last night, bagging the opening goal for the Ingerlund U21s. A [...]

Brilliant, Agent Hughes!
More madness from the madhouse:
