IT’S BEEN A huge week of sport over the last seven days, and it all kicked off with some Premier League drama last Sunday, as Arsenal thumped Manchester United and Liverpool drew with Everton.
However, it proved to be the final straw for Brendan Rodgers, who was sacked following the game, and as the news broke on Sky Sports, Thierry Henry just didn’t know how to react, accidentally groping the unsuspecting Jamie Carragher.
Eddie Roche, however, has seen this all before…
“Henry with his hands again XD”
Speculation the turned to what Rodgers would get up to next?
Would he take a break from the game? Would he look for the first job available? Would he do a bit of TV work?
Sean McGoey things he should go into construction.
“I’ve a job for you brendan you will digging foundations for houses and dont worry if you mess up you can just say that you’re rebuilding and its a transitional phase.”
Elsewhere, Bayern Munich president Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said that the club never had any intention of selling Thomas Muller to Manchester United in the summer.
Rummenigge said: “I told my colleagues at Manchester United: ‘I cannot close down my email account, but you no longer need to send me anything. It is useless.”
However, The42 reader Rob O’H has a theory as to why United were unsuccessful with their bids.
“Wouldn’t be surprised if Woodward still used his teenage Hotmail account.”
Of course, there was also the small matter of Ireland v Germany to get through this week. We decided to piece together what Ireland’s side would look like if it was decided purely on Fantasy Football points (because why not?).
And Fran Heavey spotted an added bonus to our patriotic selections.
“On the plus side, you’d have about 75m left in the bank!!!”
“There won’t be a Robbie Keane milked tonight.”
And finally, as the fallout from England’s World Cup exit continued, it was revealed that Danny Cipriani and Mike Catt had a heated argument two days before the squad was selected, with Catt allegedly telling the player he’d end his England career.
They say a picture paints a thousand words, and that certainly seemed to be the case with our Sean Farrell’s choice of snaps.
Kevin McNally noticed: “Looks like Cipriani is being led off in cuffs in that photo”
As did Shane Barrett:And Catt absolutely nails the Serial Killer look in the next one.
Proud isn’t the word…..
it’s hard to know what to say here. it’s a joke alright but not the funniest either. Henry rarely used his hands except for that time against us but at the end of the day we had plenty of chances to score but we missed them it came back to haunt us. the reff was also paid by Blatter himself so what did anybody expect
I’d imagine Henry would use his hands everyday Matt
