This is actually enraging me to disproportionate levels; whisky is one of life's finest pleasures, and for it to be now associated with humanoid robots like Beckham and Owen is unleashing waves of dismay.

Haig Club employed Beckham, despite the fact that Beckham doesn't drink, so Spey probably thought we can't afford Beckham so which other former footballer who doesn't look like a drop of alcohol has ever passed his lips can we use?'

I presume it's to advertise the whisky in places like China, where the general populous aren't going to buy Suntory et al and don't know much about Scotch Whisky, but do recognise a former footballer who sips a drink like it's elephant piss.

Goes outside and shows a picture of Owen to 100 Shanghai citizens .. receives 100 blank stares and 100 comments of "who the fuck it that boring looking twat" ?

Then showed 100 Shanghai citizens the whiskey ad. on my iPad .. 80 walked off, 16 puked up on the spot and 4 attacked me.

Don't worry - its a second rate whisky anyway. So long as he never endorses a good Islay or Island scotch all is not lost.

The son of former Liverpool FC manager Roy Evans quit his job rather than having to sell products attached to The S*n.
Stephen Evans, a sales executive working across the north west, returned to work earlier this month after time off through ill health to find out S*n Motors, a website affiliated to the newspaper reviled and boycotted on Merseyside and beyond ever since its coverage of the Hillsborough disaster, was now in partnership with his employer Motors.co.uk , meaning he would be expected to push S*n-branded merchandise and use their logo in presentations.
Stephen, 39, who attended the match on April 15th 1989 which cost 96 Liverpool supporters their lives alongside Kenny Dalglish’s son Paul, resigned his position with immediate effect and has since received many messages of goodwill and offers to help find a new job.

Not sure if that's actually his son or a clone, looks so much like his dad

This sort of thing was common in my youth playing days. Most teams had someone who could flip throw a ball 97 yards, and some even in my college days. This has to be an American innovation to the game, right? Anyone over yonder see this being done?

Steve Watson did it for Newcastle a couple of times.

think that move is banned, for some reason I remember the Brazilians womens football team doing it then not being allowed to

Russian billionaire Prokhorov has reportedly hired a company to help him sell Brooklyn Nets (NBA team). I think it's only a matter of time until Abramovich quits Chelsea as well. The only question for me is whether this is going to happen already this season or next.

Why do you think Abromovich is likely to sell?

 

[rurikbird]

Why do you think Abromovich is likely to sell?

Because of the state of Russia's economy with dropping oil prices and international sanctions. Also at any moment Putin could demand that his loyal oligarchs cut ties with the "enemy."

 

[keniget]

It's too late anyways - Chelsea have made it.

I'm sure Abromovich will have protected himself against those eventualities.

We'll see. Prokhorov is at least as rich as Abramovich and now he is selling his big foreign club, if the reports are true, anyways. Personally I don't think Russian big money is going to remain in the West for much longer.

It'll defo remain in London though, whole different entity. There's a lot of Russian bankers involved with Boris

They owe Abramovich around 1 billion quid, payable within 18 months.

Do you think they'll ever be held to account for it?

Abramovic hasn't built them up into an "elite" club just to watch them burn. I'd love for it to happen but I don't think this doomsday people have been going on about since day 1 is ever coming.

I suppose it depends on his situation and whether the fame and respectability given to him by Chelsea is worth more than the cash. His money is probably better there at the moment.

@JamesPearceEcho: Borini led his team to a dodgeball triumph and one kid gave him a high five and said: "Fabio, you're better at catching than Mignolet."

 

[Halmeister]

Who knew? Borini great at dodging the ball.

The Nets are horrid though. One disaster of personnel management after another. He came in and opened his wallet and bought shit. For those who lament FSG's work in the transfer market, let's be glad that the Nets ownership group wasn't the North American sports group that bought Liverpool.
