I think it's safe to say the last thing Riyad needed that day was an unwanted picture moment with a local fan later plastered across the abomination that is Twitter. Feel for the guy. (Don't look at his face, don't look at his face for god's sake!)

They're walking on dangerously thin ice, though. They may have the support of clubs across the globe, but I'm sure the official broadcasters aren't too happy with their material being used without a license.

Stuttgart are closing in on signing Argentinian central defensive midfielder Santiago Ascacibar from Estudiantes for roughly 7 million Euro (£6.4m). Which means Amartey won't move there.

Thanks to his age, Benalouane is much more agile and faster than Huth or Morgan. He's got great vision for a centre-back and anticipates opposing movements quite well, too. He's been treated all-too harshly by some and when called upon did a steady job (even though some of his marking and 1v1 in front of our own goal was rather dodgy at times), but I understand opinions tend to differ, anyway.

RIP Bruce Forsyth - didn't he do well? What a fantastic career as an entertainer. 75 years - beat that!

I wasn't particularly referring to Mahrez with that statement. It was more a general examination of the current trend amongst pro footballers. Anthony Modeste being another sad example. Mahrez has indeed behaved more professionally in recent weeks, yet that shouldn't detract from the fact that he and his agent acted quite petulantly by going public and trying to put the player on the market individually, without the club's consent.

I think he's been vastly underrated - as a defensive midfielder. Not sure about centre-back being his forte, especially when you look at the most important aspect of it all - defending. But his calmness and composure on the ball is second to none. Also has a more than decent pass and long ball on him.

Not if another (Premier League) club comes in by then and finally pays what we're asking.

On a sidenote, the constant bickering between Algerians and Roma fans continues to amuse me greatly. Dear Roma supporters: No matter how you spin it and no matter how often you're trying to belittle LCFC in this stance, if Mahrez doesn't want to play for us even though he's still under contract, then we'll simply bench him and let him rot in the reserves until our evaluation is met. I salute the club for standing firm in this affair. One player cannot dictate the immediate future or strategy of an entire club, no club should be held ransom by an individual and his entourage. The onus is now on Mahrez to fulfill his part of the bargain and play for the shirt and give it his best shot. No point in sulking or pestering. It's a sad fact of today's pro football that more and more players are deciding to throw their toys out of the pram when they want to force a move whilst still being contracted at their current club. All under the guidance of misguided "advisors", such as agents and family members and all in the name of money. Dembélé at Dortmund another prime example, Neymar's situation was somewhat similar.

Bartosz Kapustka again played only eight minutes in Freiburg's DFB Pokal First Round win against Germania Halberstadt. Freiburg's DoF recently stated that Kapustka "still needs a bit of time. He's on the right track, but he's not at that point where we'd like to see him."

Such a chart is a neat idea, it's just the fvcked up execution and logic behind it that ruins it completely. Love the dig at feminists at the end. So random.

Jimmy Kimmel and Paul Rudd brought me here:

People like Cantwell are just pawns in the grand scheme of things, the first to suffer on the front line, the first ones to be sacrificed alongside innocent bystanders/citizens. The real perpertrators sit way higher up the ladder. Robert Ray does the propaganda, but the likes of David Duke are the ones to fear here. Masterminding it all, alongside some other figures of respect.

Check out this Vice report on Charlottesville: Mind-boggling. Perverse. Scary to think the US of A are in parts regressing to the Dark Ages. Some of these statements and conspiracy theories muttered.

Such a cowardly act of violence. Still, remember it's all a series of desperate attempts to break the collective as part of their retaliation against everything Europe stands for, so they can put a dent in our Western Civilization, meaning our civil liberties. Ain't going to happen.
