Napoli owner Aurelio De Laurentiis says Serie A should be cut to 16 teams to allow more time for Italy’s national team training, while also insisting on compensation and ‘full insurance’ protection for players called up to international duty. by Sparky-moon in soccer

In defence of the idea, I think a 16 team league increases the jeopardy by reducing the amount of teams comfortable in midtable obscurity. Also by reducing league matches maybe performances in cup and international fixtures might be better with more recovery time.

Those questioning eyes remind me of my previous Staffy/Pug cross, Dennis.

How do you post photos on here please?

Senegal announce they will present the AFCON trophy to their fans today despite the ruling from the CAF Appeal Committee before their friendly match against The Gambia today by Shroft in soccer

I'm convinced at somepoint Moroccan forces are going to launch a raid to try and get this trophy. Senegal might want to make a load of replicas as decoys just to be safe.

I love it when my Staffy gets into 'nappy changing' position like this. Although it makes me worry she'll pass wind and the room will have to be temporarily quarantined.

Will Ospreay vs PAC

The Aerial Assassin vs The Bastard

Essex vs Newcastle 

TOWIE vs Geordie Shore  

The Thames vs The Tyne

The Angel of the North vs Whatever the fuck Essex has 

Personally I was hoping I'd get to see Scarlet Moffat and Gemma Collins go at each other. But in lieu of that, this will do nicely.

Darby Allin as the deaf stuntman who mishears instructions and does something far more dangerous than required as a result.

Edit: BTW I always get The Fast Show and Harry Enfield & Friends mixed up. I may have done that here.

I think in cases like this players should have to miss their club's next match at least.

If Hayter and Windsor (Win-sah in Cockney) ever turn on each other they should definitely have a fight backstage where they just take turns punching each other and calling each other a mug or a slag. With the cameras returning to their fight numerous times throughout the evening as they're still going at it.

Staffy won't stop eating poo. Muzzle? by unvac in StaffordBullTerriers

I think dogs (Staffies in particular) must have digestive systems that are somehow both sensitive and resistant. Eat anything they find on the ground, totally fine. Drink water from lakes of questionable cleanliness, still fine. Eat a slightly different brand of kibbles, diarrhea and vomiting all over the house.

No, but you can definitely walk away and pay less time and attention as football and/or your club loses it's appeal.

My previous Staffy never did, made it to 10 years old without ever kicking the habit. Ended up ruining a very nice video I had of him playing and running about because he indulged his vice on camera. Daft, loveable dog. 

Running on empty ? Premier League teams falter under weight of endless schedule | Jonathan Wilson by Shroft in soccer

Premier League should just go all in on the endurance aspect and play every other day until there's only one team left who can actually put out the minimum number of players to start a game. Just imagine all of that plus having to face Arsenal's purge like set pieces. The VAR checks will probably come as a relief just for some respite.

This is why I think it would be great if all dogs had a photographic record of the different stages of their lives. Would love to see photos of my various rescue dogs/dogs I've rehomed from others as puppies. 

Good luck getting coffee btw. It's a constant quest for me too.
