Did Lampard officially retire or is he doing the Gerrard "weighing his options" dance?

The latterx I thought.
I feel absolutley fine seeing them go. Villa would be a loss, them not as much, In spite of a good goal run by lamps.

Isn't there some kinda big game going on in Serie A this Sunday? Derby Della Madonnina? The hideous Rosso Nero v the hideous Blu Nero? Serie B at stake here...

Oh they are?? I thought they were playing in a soccer specific (grass) stadium. Or is this one of those retractable roof type deals where they could have real grass? Guess I was hoping for another natural grass venue.

Not a SSS and not a grass stadium. They are playing in the Falcons new stadium (Arthur Blank owns both teams).

I received these shirts last week. Just fyi for anyone looking for cheap knockoffs - the quality is great. The only issue I have is the "KANTE" lettering is missing the accent aigu on the "E"! Will an 11 year old notice? Probably not, but its enough for me to email the company just out of interest to see how they respond. I also had them put the EPL badges on the sleeves ($5), and probably would not recommend that for a youth-sized shirt as they are quite large on the small sleeves of a YL sized shirt. The second shirt they threw in at no additional cost is great (I paid $5 to get the #10 put on, but otherwise it was "free").

Now I'm tempted to see if these guys can handle a Coquelin third Arsenal jersey in 3T size. Just for the sheer hipster awfulness of it.

The toddler size for a typical three year old. My kid is a few months from turning 2 but he's a giant lumbering monster.

The Premier League's new TV deal with China is US$200 mil per year. Less total money, but much more per year than the 6 year contract NBC agreed last year.

I don't really follow teams beneath the Dons in the table but Franchise FC has some history of hiring big names with limited experience. Paul Ince and DiMatteo had spells in charge of MK. Their ex-manager Karl Robinson will surface somewhere else and probably be managing long after Gerrard leaves the game.
You'd think Gerrard would be able to find a part-time gig as a player that's better than managing a much despised club in a relegation fight.
ETA: I neglected to crow about the real Dons 5-0 thrashing of League 1 Bury in the FA Cup. The defeat was bad enough for Bury's manager Paul Flitcroft to get sacked. The Dons drew a non-league opponent in the second round.

I don't get it. Well, other than Kafka making the same joke in the next post. Is there something specific about Giroud I'm missing?

Chiseled abs. The jawline of a Greek god. Hair I just want to run my fingers through.
Short answer. My shtick for years on this thread has been that I'm in love with Giroud. And Benzema, but that's not shtick.
AAABatteries
Footballguy
You really need to stick with Giroud - he's classically handsome. Benzema looks like he could be Skrtel's brother and that's not a good thing.

But it's the person inside that counts. Benz so loved his childhood friend that he blackmailed a teammate for him.
Serious answer Benz shtick came first because I was #1 Fan of Benz's Game in this thread

I'm curious how they respond. They did the Özil correctly on my kid's shirt.
Did you type in the name during customizing or did you choose from the roster drop down?
the value is fantastic.

They had Kante as a roster drop down selection.I'm curious how they respond. They did the Özil correctly on my kid's shirt.

Update:
Hello,
Sorry to hear that.
Could you please take picture of this jersey and then send the picture to us?
And could you please also send the picture which you think is the correct one to us?
We will check and give you solution after that
Hope to hear from you soon.
Thank you

I'm just impressed that Cletius can keep his accent agiu and his accent grave straight.

This follows the big news in Sacramento yesterday where they cleared the next round of voting in getting their stadium built to move into MLS.gianmarco said:
As a kid growing up in the 80's, St. Louis was always considered Soccer City USA for a long long time. It seems strange it has taken so long to get a viable group there to pursue an MLS team but I think that market shapes up perfectly to be another nice fit as MLS continues to grow.
I am no familiar with most of those money men names. Do you know if the pockets are deep enough for this type of investment? (I guess much of that question is based on whether they expect public help on the stadium or not).

I'm fine with it as is, but if they had put a grave on the E in Kante, I'd be sending it back.
A couple years ago I had a very minor complaint about a Neymar shirt I got for my son from a different Chinese counterfeiter. No questions asked they sent me another one, then a third showed up. He gave them to his buddies and all three wore them everywhere for a summer. Unfortunately for them, it was the summer of 2014.

There's no rhyme or reason to it. The best approach is to assume you've thrown money down a rathole, then it's a great surprise if/when the shirts actually arrive. That said, I put my order in about the same date as you did. I never received the tracking info they promised, but never have in the past so that was no concern.

Arguably one of the best, if not the best foreign signing in MLS history (for on field accomplishments). It will be interesting to see where he lands. If he does not want a DP deal, I would think another MLS team would be happy to grab him but perhaps he can make more else where.

Robbie Keane to depart from LA Galaxy at end of year
LOS ANGELES, Calif. (Thursday Nov. 17, 2016) – The LA Galaxy announced today that forward Robbie Keane will depart from the club following the expiration of his contract at the end of the year. Keane departs after leading the LA Galaxy to three MLS Cup victories while recording 92 goals, 51 assists, 26 game-winning goals, 18 game-winning assists, 21 multi-goal games and four hat tricks in Major League Soccer during his six seasons with the club.
"I can confirm that after five fantastic years I will be leaving the LA Galaxy”, said Keane. “It's been a privilege to have played my part in the history of such a great club and I leave with memories that will stay with me forever. Winning three MLS Cups, scoring over 100 goals for the club and being named as 2014 MVP are all achievements that I will look back on with pride, it's been an incredible experience, I've truly loved every minute of my time at LA Galaxy.”
“However, I believe that now is the right time for a new challenge as I look towards the next chapter of my playing career. I still feel as fit and sharp as ever and I am looking forward to my next adventure. Having now retired from international football I am ready to focus everything I have on one last major challenge in club football and will be taking time out to consider my options before announcing my next move.”

I've done 2 orders. Both have been turned around in 2 weeks, but they never emailed tracking on the 2nd order. If you log into your account, the (detailed) tracking info should be there on your order.
