R.I.P. Bobby, a legend and a gentleman. I'm sure @Gem will never forget this:

Footballers really are the dumbest f**ks on the planet, aren't they?

sh*t Gareth Barry imo

Sounds like Tosin will be taking Bettinelli's place as our third-choice keeper.

Personally I will miss his athletic superiority, his technical brilliance, and his elite footballing brain.

Morning all

I don't think 'Igor Thiago gets into Brazil World Cup squad' were on many people's bingo cards a year ago.

I also have forgotten just how sh*t he was and therefore suggest we keep both him and Mudryk. The worst left-wing saviour double act since Andy Burnham and f**king Wesley the weasel Streeting...

BBC SportAnthony Gordon: Barcelona unveil England forward after £6...Anthony Gordon is unveiled as a Barcelona player after joining the La Liga champions from Newcastle United in a deal worth more than £69.3m. That £69m fee is the closest that hideous f**k has ever come to hilarious sex. Good riddance also. To think that Thomas Tuchel wanted to buy him. The man is a genius but should never be given a job in which he is allowed to make decisions about which players are in his team. Wait, what do you mean?

If somebody was supposedly willing to pay me €100m for Julián Alvarez I would personally be keeping quite quiet:

Our John Obi is perhaps forgetting why we love him in the first place.

While winding up my friend who is a massive Van Halen fan (but not Van Hagar) by suggesting that David Lee Roth is gay, this happened to come up:

What a career this man had! Someone please correct me, but he may be the last of the old greats left? @Boyne @youlots (f**k, I didn't realise how many of the jazz fans on here had passed). Pharaoh Sanders died a couple of years ago. I always had a soft spot for Miles Davis and Horns:

This of course is the first time I have ever thought about it, but I am all of a sudden a big fan of us being the 12:30 fixture on Saturdays.

BBC SportChelsea news: Jorgensen wants to leave BluesChelsea news: Jorgensen wants to leave Blues Oh no...

The play-off winners do the double over the world champions. Thankfully, we don't have to watch any more. Take your pick. For posterity's sake if nothing else.

His voice still sounds the same. He can't hit the high notes any more, although apparently that's the result of throat surgery he had in the 80s rather than age.

Don't worry, he was still spry enough to pull off his usual onstage capering. That said, some grumpiness crept in at the beginning: before the gig started they showed a two-minute animated clip of some farmyard animals asking the audience not to film the band with their phones. Was quite funny to see an audience of average age 65 be lectured like schoolchildren.

Alonso is quite capable of crashing his own car. Oh wait, you were talking about Xabi, my bad

Saw Tull live a couple of weeks ago (well... Ian Anderson and younger associates playing Tull songs). Still good, and they played (some of) Thick as a Brick.

My first reaction was 'for f**k's sake, I hate that they've sold these dimwit footballers on their asinine managementsprach', then I realised it was probably even more vacuous than that:

And William Gallas Wait

Well the directors have made it very clear that they have learned their lesson, so I can tell you with 100% confidence that Fernández's replacement will be Valentín Barco.

Also he can smoke a cigarette in the rain with both hands tied behind his back.
