The Daily Telegraph reports that new papers released under the 30 year rule (and similar) show Tony Blair considered if Wimbledon, as was, should be moved to Northern Ireland and reconstituted as "Belfast United". I think we all know that history didn't work out that way.

Linehan doesn't even like football, the only time he ever talks about sport is if a trans woman is involved. Or to give Sharron Davies a tongue bath. His own country were in the Women's World Cup but he didn't mention it ONCE.

It was... Rebekah Vardy's account
At the last Folkestone game I went to the opposing left winger took a ball, at full speed, right in the jewels. He went down, obviously in quite a lot of pain, and was writhing about on the floor.
At which point a group of 10 year olds leant over the hoarding right next to him and screamed "WANKER! GET UP YOU WANKER! NUMBER 11! YOU'RE A WANKER MATE! FUCKING GET UP! WANKER!" for about 5 minutes until he could stand up and hobble off.
Made me laugh. Poor sod.

I will never forget the following scene from Burscough v Prescot Cables many many many years ago:
Two old fellas leaning over the fences: "Gerrup! Gerrup you soft begger, bluddi 'ell."
Prescot player, rolling on the floor: "I'm in agony you cunts"

On the subject of Germans, I knew Klopp going to RB Leipzig was controversial, but I didn't realise how controversial until I read the Bundesliga Reddit threads on him. It was an eye-opener - for instance, I didn't know what an absolute bastard Dietrich Mateschitz was (he had some very dodgy far right views) or that Klopp had done ads for everything under the sun, including DVAG. The general reaction seems to be either 'Jürgen no what have you done' (mainly Dortmund and Mainz fans) or 'meh, what do you expect, Klopp is a corporate whore and money talks'. RB Leipzig are about as popular as herpes because they're a 'plastic club'.
I wish I could do more football translation jobs. I had a fun time translating a load of comments last night.
