ason Football is over for a little while at least. It's been bumpy, action-packed, halted, brought back and bumpy all over again. But above all, it's been funny. At times, hilarious, actually. From the bizarre to the over exuberant, the downright woeful to the sublime, we've had a few giggles. In a season that's lasted longer than any we've seen before, it's easy to forget that certain happenings actually occurred during the most recent campaign. Worry not though, we've got you covered with all...

ons? Love it or loathe it, the summer transfer window is open, and clubs are waiting impatiently to solve all their problems with a giant bucket of cash, and a snazzy transfer announcement video. One man who is destined for a cash bucketing is Kalidou Koulibaly.

ain) The most frustrating and mind-boggling people are often those who live in denial.

Chelsea are the footballing equivalent of this nightmare of a human. Chelsea players look dejected at the final whistle The Blues are wonderfully entertaining, brilliant on the ball and swashbuckling on the offensive. But...

Love him or hate him, Paul Pogba is a truly gifted footballer, and one of the most high profile names in the game. While it's hard to imagine, before he was this big name superstar, a time before he was despised by Graeme Souness (hard to imagine that, isn't it) he was simply just Paul Pogba - a young man among many other stars in Manchester United's famed academy. To make him sound even more ordinary, he wasn't even the best player in the academy - with the now infamous Ravel Morrison the...
