"Tommy Smith...was arrested today...and booked on several charges, including failure to stop after an accident, DWI, refusal to submit to a chemical test, drinking in public and possession of a controlled substance"
Ian Rush
The endlessly fascinating Costa Del Crime reports:
"Ian Rush yesterday denied allegations that he continued the trade of a Lowestoft company after its owners were arrested for involvement in supplying boats to drug smugglers.

Haha! Good article...I heard Raheem Sterling is breaking a few laws with that Dodgy haircut of his ;)
ReplyDeletereally you have too much spare time Jamie lol
ReplyDeleteJamie kanwar
ReplyDeleteI always thought you were a prick and yes I was right. Not for this self absorbing (I need people to read my this? And that?? But you are a cretin I suggest people never visit your crap rubbish nonsensicle dribble carry on.
You are venturing into The Scum territory with your flimsy garb.
I've been monitoring your bore and now (for the first time and last) will never comment nor visit hence read your shit.
You should add owners to the list? I know a couple of them that should be done for near ruining a footie club. Lol.
ReplyDeleteHehe. Didn't know about that Glen Johnson story!
ReplyDeleteNo mention then of a Jaimee Kanwar who was caught impersonating a journalist..........(only joking-honest)
ReplyDeleteI may be wrong, but I don't believe that's a crime.
ReplyDeleteMuch more entertaining article than those pointless, baseless transfer rumours.
ReplyDeleteBrendan Rogers signed 2 players in january and said he was expecting 1 more ..it never happened , now he has signed 4 and is expecting 2 more...i cant believe we are all expecting that to happen..lol...(just for laughs)
ReplyDeleteWell, I'd be extremely disappointed, if we didn't bring in more players. So far out net spend this transfer window must be close to zero.
ReplyDeleteTrue that the net spend is zero, but keep in mind a large portion is because we sold Andy Carroll.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't have a problem if our net spend is zero as long as we are reinforcing the squad while also getting rid of what amounts to being dead weight (Carroll, Spearing, Shelvey) that wouldn't play here anyway.
And of course if Suarez is sold, then we need to reinvest that.
The club is still approx 80m in debt. It's not such a terrible thing if we can get that number down a bit without spending wildly on transfers, though the best way is to get to the Champions League which would bring in a slew of revenue.
We are expecting £3-£4m on friday from Cardiff for Ince.
ReplyDeleteoh jaimie i know i said lighten up and have a bit of fun ,but on second thoughts stick to the real topics ;-) keep up the good work
ReplyDeleteLiverpool FC is breeding criminals!!!
ReplyDeleteJamie Kanwar arrested by Midlands police for nonce like behaviour, in the early hours of....
ReplyDeleteThts actually the real Suarez. Hahah
ReplyDeleteSo we would have earned more than spent, at least when not considering agent and signing fees.
ReplyDeleteI'm all for having no debt at all, and for getting back into the CL, but to do so we may need to bring in at least a couple of really good players.
ReplyDeleteInce has rejected Cardiff
ReplyDeleteheard that coates has also been arrested at melwood he has been charged with impersonating a footballer
ReplyDeleteFUCK YOU.
