That really is quite good.  I often think those long-range goals are a bit overrated as the 'keeper either has to fall down or be asleep (or not there at all) to make it possible but that is just such a difficult shot to make from there.  He has to hit it quickly before the defender can get back, and hit it hard and accurately.  Quality goal.

Asamoah Gyan denies murdering rapper in alleged human sacrifice

 

 

http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/sep/24/asamoah-gyan-denies-murdering-rapper-human-sacrifice

 

 

 

The former Sunderland striker Asamoah Gyan has issued a statement to deny media rumours linking him to the alleged ritual sacrifice of his friend, the Ghanaian rapper Castro.

Castro, real name Theophilus Tagoe, and his girlfriend, Janet Badu, both disappeared in late July while using jet skis during a holiday with Gyan’s family at a resort in Ada, Ghana. Both were presumed drowned, but the fact that no bodies were recovered lead to increasingly lurid speculation in the press over what happened to the pair.

Gyan, who left Sunderland for a lucrative deal with Abu Dhabi’s Al Ain in 2012, has always denied any involvement, but that failed to stop the speculation spreading, prompting his decision to call a press conference.

 

A statement from the Gyan family, read out by lawer Kissi Agyabeng, attacked the media for “wild allegations and rumours … ranging from the absurd – of the imputation of criminality to [Gyan] in the sense that he either murdered Castro or had him kidnapped – and ending with the ludicrous – that he sacrificed him spiritually to enhance his career.

“We have been silent while these wild allegations and rumours have been peddled in the media. We have been silent not because we are concealing anything or that we do not feel the need to fully state what, from our reckoning, had happened in Ada. We have been silent because we did not want to interfere with police investigations.

“In our painful silence, we have been totally dismayed by the fact that the platform was provided for the peddling of these wild and ludicrous allegations and rumours against us. Those to whom the platform was provided offered no evidence whatsoever to back their statements. And indeed, the allegation of spiritual sacrifice can by no stretch of the imagination be propped up.”

The statement added: “We take the opportunity and state without the slightest doubt in our minds that we are not blamable for the disappearance of Castro and Janet Bandu. We had no hand in that occurrence. We have no moral or legal culpability whatsoever. None of us rode out into the open estuary with Castro and Janet Bandu. Castro rode out there on his own volition and none of us have the slightest idea as to what happened to them.

“We have only been guess working and conjecturing and making what appears to us to be intelligent deductions – in light of the facts available to us, especially the fact that when they rode out on the jet ski Janet Bandu was not wearing a life jacket … We are in unimaginable pain and shock and we will give anything to Castro and Janet back.”

The family also appealed to the media, saying: “We humbly call for a truce between the Gyan brothers on the one hand, and the media on the other hand. We are reaching out a friendly hand to journalists and the media. Please accept it. It is time to let the matter rest.”

Obvious to me the Snidey Goblin put him up to it

 

Loved that headline - how many players have something like that biting them on the arse. There should be contest for best rapper-murder-sacrifice football chant.

 

Just below it was a story about Caulker being (falsely) arrested for stealing a tub of cream cheese. Brilliant.

 

False or not, both will stick like glue.

I see that fat sack of shite Allardyce is still doffing his cap at the Mancs, quoted as saying he expects a backlash and a draw would be a fantastic result for West Ham there. Shithouse will probably go there and look to defend rather than getting at their shite defence and consequently get bummed 4-0
