I'm afraid I don't know how to post pictures but here's a belter of Pirlo off his rocker...http://www.footballerswines.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Pirlo-wine.jpg
Yep, I'll give you that one lads. Head not one straight.
I'm surprised Sean Thornton hasn't been mentioned yet.
Rob, have you just been watching The Inbetweeners Movie, by any chance?

But doesn't it all make a mockery out of all the sports science, dieticians and individual fitness programs? And more importantly a mockery of massive wages and ticket prices.
Let the lad crack on with his life, we've all been there. He probs woke up had a walk back into town and slepted with a hound on the beech just to top it of! YOLO.
DrfcHoundQuite the contrary actually. I would LOVE us to produce players who are better than those of other nations.It's just that we don't. We TELL ourselves that our players are as good as those of other nations. But the evidence over 45 years of tournament results is that we have never produced a group of players who have been in the top 3 in the world or the top 2 in Europe. On average, we produce about the 10th best team in Europe and the 16th best in the world.I'm not scratting around looking for reasons to slag our players off. It's there in the record. Whatever one's opinion of individuals (and we all differ) the fact is that we simply do not produce many players who excel on the highest stage and we certainly do not produce teams who do so. But we comfort ourselves by telling ourselves that we DO produce top rate players, and it is just bad luck (injuries, cheating foreigners, widths of posts, ale) that prevents them from showing that they are as good as everyone else. Claiming that Tony Adams as an example of a top-rate player kind of makes the point for me. No other major footballing power in Europe would look upon Adams as the best that they have produced in a couple of generations. As I said, maybe he would have been if he'd kept off the ale, but we'll never know. Believe me, I would really like to be able to eat humble pie on this in a few years time and say that I was too pessimistic on English football. But experience suggests that it'll be the same round of build-em-up and see-em-fail again.
