I miss the days when Rich Tasteless Idiot just meant buying a snooker table for your mansion, putting your framed jerseys around the walls, then never going into the room again unless you had to sign a contract and signing it on the snooker table was the only way you could think to make use of it.

Is this true? I guess they'd check it but it's pretty surprising.

Did Cudicini get enough games in to count when Chelsea won in '05 or '06? That's the first counterexample that comes to mind.

What a silly rule that is. In fact, I’d say that anyone in the first team squad should get a medal if they want one. They’ve all played a part, however small it might be.

I think they changed it recently. Clubs could always request a few extra medals too for people who didn't meet the threshold. But yeah it's daft.

If any nerds are interested, these are the rules:

quote:

The champions are also given 40 commemorative medals made of silver, which are 2.25in (5.7cm) in diameter.

They can be distributed to the manager, players and officials as the club see fit, as long as every player who has made at least five Premier League appearances during the title-winning season gets one.

Additional medals may only be presented with the consent of the Premier League Board, and that will only be granted if more than 39 players have made at least five PL appearances during the campaign.

Hopefully 40 medals solve the problem, but the rules for an automatic qualification are neither cool nor good.

We had not left it yet, but when I would wake in the night, I would lie, listening, homesick for it already.


Late 20's and probably an Arsenal, Spurs or West Ham player if they live in Barnet.

Xhaka or Partey would be in that bracket.

Kinda gross to speculate imo. Less so on these dead gay forums, but like... Footballers are actual people who are all innocent til proven guilty, and it must be pretty nasty to see loads of people on Twitter sagely reckoning that you're a rapist.

Arrested in Barnet does not mean "Lives in Barnet" I wouldn't think.

There's only 1 Chelsea suspect and he was at training yesterday and tweeting today.

Why else would they be in Barnet though?

Maybe it was another footballer's house and there was a sex tape needing filmed.
