Watching the Beckham doco and the footage from the CL matches against Inter just reminded me of this Roy Keane moment.

Electric cars again?

Electric cars again?

Was a diesel supposedly from what I read.

 

[Bojan KantKick]

Electric cars again?

No idea. Would be hard to be certain without accessing the CCTV in the car park. Some places say the believe it to be a electric battery, some say they believe it to be a diesel engine. Nobody seems definitive on it at this stage. The cctv footage will probably end up on social media at some stage.

Edit:

Looks like a Range Rover or Land Rover Discovery Sport. Could be an Evoque but looks a bit bigger. They all have EV models so pretty hard to be sure without seeing the plates whether it could have been an EV model or a diesel model.

Here's the car that sparked a massive 1,500-vehicle fire at London airport car park - Autoblog

A “‘diesel-powered” automobile, and not an EV, sparked the big 1,500-car fire earlier this week at Luton airport’s parking lot near London.

So a replay of August then

Of all the random football headlines I have read this is one I certainly wasn't expecting:

Just watching highlights of the 2003 game, still remember getting up early hours of the morning to watch it.

Looking forward to the match tonight, can't see us doing much but here's hoping.

Yet another betting scandal. You would think some guy in League 2 on 1k / week would be the likely target of bookies but the last few are all high profile footballers on huge wages.

I'll never forget when visiting UK after going to Germany 06 I came across odds on my very own team I played for at the time at the betting shop in UK. It's rampant.

No, it really doesn’t Gareth.

One person causes over 100k damage? Must've been a real nutter.

Probably went in to steal Ange’s medals, knowing they are the only medals Spurs have won in decades.

Definitely didn't damage anything in the trophy cabinet.

I shouldn’t laugh. Spurs have just become an all around better club than United overnight.

We maybe witnessing the demise of a once great football club, former Spanish League champions Deportivo La Coruna have dropped into the relegation zone of the Spanish third tier.

It's early days, but I'm a little concerned, we have been struggling to score.

Lol, Jordan Henderson hasn’t gone to Saudi Arabia to line his pockets. He’s gone to make football better. Because Saudi Arabia would have been on his (and all those players) radar if they were offering similar or lower wages to what they were getting in Europe.

The 700k weekly wage packet just a pure coincidence. Definitely not sportswashed. He dreamt of playing in front of crowds of 2k.

England fans booed Henderson and rightly so. The move to Saudi showed him up as a hypocrite who sacrificed his principles for the dirty oil money. He was already rich. In 2021 he signed a four year contract for £190,000/week = £9,880,000/year. His net worth is estimated to be over £61 million.

Now he's endorsing the Saudi bid for the 2034 World Cup. Is he being paid? FIFA is no less corrupt than when Qatar was awarded the tournament.

I'm not that against a player taking a big pay day at the end of his career - that's understandable. Hendo had been playing at the very highest level for 12 years and has done it all. England are a good enough team that they do not need to be selecting players who have chosen to take a step down in order to chase money so I actually blame Southgate for this.


But don't try and put out publicly that isn't the reason you took the deal. Better off to stay silent then look like a fool.
