Obama is a soccer fan.: West Ham invite Obama to watch a game at Upton Park. Apparently, he watched a Hammers game in 2003 while visiting his half-sister in London (article doesn't say if it was live, home, away or on the telly). Obama's older daughter plays on a soccer team. Change we can believe in.

Nigerian businessmen bid for Newcastle: A Nigerian consortium wants to become the first African owners of an EPL team. It is unclear if their bid was sent by email. Or if it required the opening of a local bank account.

Manchester City make it the Big Five.: The final day of the EPL's season-opener transfer window turns out to be a historic day for the blue side of Manchester.

So, does Tony Adams get Redknapp's spot at Portsmouth, or is it caretaker until they hire, oh I dunno, Ramos? Allardyce (doubt it)?

All I wanna know is:
Does the ... erm ... procedure, you know, hinder your performance, post-op?
When the gun is firing blanks, is it still as pleasurable to fire it as when you were using live bullets?
Can you still see the blanks? Do they look, urm, funny?
And, of course, I am inquiring on behalf of, uh, a friend. Yeah. That's the ticket.

MrB: I was just wondering how that "director of football" role has affected, yea, damaged, Spurs this season. How much say did Ramos have in selling his three top goalscorers, and buying one untested striker to replace them, based on the Euro championshop? (How many successful Russians in the EPL can anyone name?) I really think this director of football role is crap. See how well it worked out and continues to work out at Newcastle.

no, the YingYang filter has been activated. Apologize to your friend, but tell him it's not a bug, it's a feature.

Or, if I may paraphrase Bernie Mac (R.I.P.): I'm big-bonered, I'm hung low... when I pull my shit out, the room gets dark!

Before anyone gets their knickers in a bunch about the last comment, read this. I've loved every moment of it.

I'm with owlhouse on that "unread comments" feature.
And for you zebra-stripe lovers: Fuck off, you slimy cunts (no, I'm not Joe-kin-near).

Also, the comment threads are hard to read because the completely even spacing between text blocks (be it a paragraph or the commenter info) makes it hard to distinguish one person's comment from another's.
I'd suggest a few subtle changes (once kirk returns) that will make a world of difference:
1. Don't do any horizontal rules or zebra stripes to separate comments
2. Increase leading between comment blocks from different individuals. Make sure individual paragraphs inside a comment block are closer together than the leading between comment blocks.
3. Fun idea: Put a number next to each individual comment block. This will make it easier to keep your place as you read long threads.

Also, they're completely missing out on the soccer "market".

Obama is a soccer fan.
Correction: Even if someone would challenge him in the paint, the Secret Service would have him in a throwdown, lockhold, guns drawn. And, then, yes, Obama's going to get the call.
