Kevin De Bruyne back in England meeting up with his teammates. Never thought he'd come back, tbh

The Forehead, Eric Dier signed a contract extension with Tottenham Hotspur until 2020.

One more celebrity fragrance on the shelves. Wait, before I slate, let me read the notes.
Ah, got the description: "The fragrance opens with an exhilarating blend of fresh lavender and sparking bergamot. The heart of Cristiano Ronaldo Legacy is comprised of luxurious orris and aromatic sage and rosemary. The rich background of exotic patchouli and smoky vetiver adds addiction and envelopes the fragrance in enigmatic darkness." Hmmm. Let me go and sniff
OP done! Cheers, jeers, corrections and commentary pushback, you know the drill. Can someone please do the tags for me? Am in a hurry

Another fragrance? I never use it or perfume. I'm not really sensitive in any way, except for strong smells.

Date: 2015-09-10 12:16 pm (UTC)Roberto Martinez on the John Stones transfer saga:
"“I thought that when the transfer window was over we would be able to concentrate on the games and that is the only thing I am focusing on,” said Martínez, who added he had been singing: “Can’t buy me Stones,” – to the tune of The Beatles’ Can’t Buy Me Love – in the shower."
Where will AVB go?

Date: 2015-09-10 04:06 pm (UTC)Philipp... I suppose this is better than just springing it on us on the last day of the 2018 season. Maybe. Well, I guess we'd better watch as many Bayern games as possible over the next 3 years. :/
He's going to be Plotter-in-Chief of the Bayern Empire.
KDB is back for the money and prestige and Champions League. I think he was blown away by the private jet, swank car, and general oozing wealth that City seduced him with.
