It gets better (The Telegraph)
"Jordan Henderson has not received a penny from the Saudi club after deferring his wages to avoid UK tax. With a move to Ajax possible, Henderson may never be paid for the six months that he played at Al-Ettifaq."

Maybe Henderson was just trying to destroy the saudi league from within all along, as surely if there's one thing footballers (and their agents) won't put up with it's not getting paid

Guardian:
"Steven Gerrard agrees 2yr contract extension as Al Ettifaq head coach. Existing deal runs until 2025 - new terms to expire in 2027."
Whut?

Turning Bayern Munich into Tottenham Hotspur of a few years ago, is a bold strategy of Tuchel's to win the Champions League.
Who's next after Kane, Dier, and Trippier?
Gary Mabbutt?

Southend were supposed to play Wealdstone at Roots Hall in November, but it was called off coause either southend or wealdstone were in the fa cup or something (probably not southend). Then it was rescheduled for december (postponed due to frozen pitch), and then it was rescheduled again for tuesday (postponed due to another frozen pitch).
Then southend v wealdstone at whatever wealdstone's ground is called was supposed to be tonight and it was cancelled due to flooding

Hopefully the situation escalates from here, and the next time the fixture is called off, it's due to an erupting volcano or Jesus' second coming.

Yes. And then proceeded to buy all the very worst players in the league for vast sums of money for some reason.
