General Football Nonsense

Bring back Al Fayed.

And the Jackson statue.

While in charge of Wolfsburg during a training camp in July 2008 in Switzerland Magath declared after a team lunch that training would be canceled for the day. Instead the players would be rewarded with coffee and cake at a nearby location with the provision that the players retain their training attire just in case. As the players prepared to board the gondola that took them up the mountain to the coffee house their delight was soon replaced with horror as Magath told them they would get there by running the full 2362 meters. They ran for two and a half hours straight up the hill with Magath running right behind the team. Their star striker Grafite collapsed before the end and had to be carried down the valley on a stretcher while other players broke down in tears as they reached the summit where they were finally able to enjoy their coffee and cake.

Ah Grafite, that name brings back memories ! Remember his Bundesliga goal ? :bow:

Lewis Holtby last year: I wouldn't mind van Gaal taking over. I survived Felix Magath after all.

:haha:

I thought Al Swearengen wasn't that trigger-happy.

He's gone mental.

Yeah, its been bad since then, and changing your manager twice in a season is dangerous.

I quite like Fulham, would be a shame to see them go down.

But they should've given Meulensteen some more games, they were finally improving, and their new £14m striker , Mitroglou, was getting back to fitness :doh:

Let's see if Magath is sacked before the end of the season :haha:

Atletico Madrid have been fined £492 after Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo was struck on the head with a cigarette lighter.

£492 ? :haha:

I thought football fines are usually in the upper thousands , eg £10k
