Bizarre that a football club is tweeting this. What's the significance? I assume they're gonna start taking loans.

They already took a huge loan and are supporting some of their debt with the sale of bonds. This is either an advertisement that they are selling bonds that somehow weren’t rated as junk or their bonds were actually downgraded and they’re trying to get out in front of the story.

From the article linked in the tweet:

"The Club has received a stable triple B negative rating from credit rating agency Fitch"

Someone chime in, but I'm pretty sure that, at least in finance, this is considered below investment grade. If not, it's the lowest rating you can have without being considered "junk". Not a good look either way.

It's is indeed the lowest rating you can have before being considered a junk bond.

The ball that was too round and made Diego Forlan look like the best player in the world because he was the only one who bothered to practice with it beforehand.

I remember being so disappointed that Atletico Mineiro had signed Ronaldinho instead of Forlan... And then Forlan did nothing post Jabulani.

Nah, his career kinda petered out after the 2010 WC.

He didn't actually retire until 2018.

He was amazing for Atletico Madrid before that. But 10-11 she was poo poo, and was let go. He signed with Inter Milan and was poo poo, and was released before his contract was over. He then signed with Internacional in Brazil, where he would frequently be sat because Internacional had too many international players, and after that I think he went to some second division team in Japan or South Korea or something like that.

Chiunque può essere Luther Blissett, semplicemente adottando il nome Luther Blissett

Diego Forlan, taking six months to score his first United goal despite running himself into the ground

then when he finally did, tearing his shirt off and being unable to get it back on, so just accepting this fact and playing shirtless

Henning berg resigning as Blackburn manager because the hired entertainer at their Christmas party didn't realise he was the manager, made him do a dance, made fun of his baldy head and forced a Michael Jackson wig on him

Actually while writing this party post just remembered the FA booking reginald d hunter for their Christmas do and getting upset when he made those kind of jokes

Ferguson's defence for getting a speeding ticket being that he might poo poo himself.

Edit: Tony Pulis successfully arguing that he shouldn't get a driving ban because if he had a driver, they might be a spy for another club.

Had Redknapp got the England job in 2012 ahead of the Euros, I was going to get an England top with ROSIE 47 printed on the back. Would have got a few laughs down the pub.

England players mid-match, possibly one of the group stage games but I can't remember, deciding amongst themselves to mutiny against the coaching staff and replacing Kane with Rooney on corners.

Roy Hodgson glancing at the stadium big screen midway through the second half of the Iceland game, noticing everyone was watching him, and putting his hand to his face to make it look like he was deep in thought about how to resolve the conundrum his side had found itself in.

Roy Hodgson going on a boat trip down the Seine with Ray Lewington instead of going to watch Iceland play. His reasoning was sound, though...Lewington had never been to Paris.

I didn't personally mind this one all that much. Its looks really bad, and I'd probably prefer Hodgson to scout the game personally, but I believe G Neville and the scouting team were at the game to watch Iceland.

Ray Lewington having never seen Paris was a fantastic reason mind you.
