bickster Posted April 1, 2009 Moderator Share Posted April 1, 2009 Thats not funny because De La Red has serious injury problems which could affect his potential career! not funny because the blokes injured? How does that work Does that mean you can only tell Michael Owen jokes for one month a year Mate, the guy had a heart attack on the pitch so it isn't your Michael Owen hamstrings if you know what i mean, the guys lucky to be alive never mind playing football! But the joke isnt taking the piss out of him, so what is your point precisely? The joke is taking the piss out of anyone that believes the story or do you not understand the concept of April Fools day, De La Red is an incidental side issue. He is not being laughed at.

PauloBarnesi Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Just got back from getting my new shirt done with his name on the back, just about to pop down to the local Tattoo parlour to get his name on my back; should look good next to Bergkamp, Boswinga and Juhninio...

scottie_villa Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 BOF you've way too much time on ur hands...I'll give u a 6 out of 10 for effort but I don't think its funny enough to go down as an april fool's classic... Like I would love it if Alan Shearer turned around and said, "actually I'm not taking the Newcastle job, had you all fooled there." That would be brilliant!
