This story has more legs then Octopus has tentacles

Germany rejects Spanish bid to buy Paul

Octopus oracle Paul's prescience wasn't needed to predict how this one would turn out: His aquarium in Germany says there's no way they're sending the celebrity mollusc to Spain.

The response comes after the Madrid Zoo made an unspecified bid for the octopus, who famously predicted the outcome of Germany's seven World Cup matches correctly and tipped Spain to triumph over The Netherlands in the final.

The Madrid Zoo made its offer after receiving hundreds of requests from Spaniards for Paul's transfer after Spain won the World Cup on Sunday.

Sea Life Aquarium Oberhausen spokeswoman Kerstin Kuehn told The Associated Press on Friday that it is "completely out of the question" to sell - or even lend - Paul to the Spanish zoo

An update just coming across the wires...Paul has put in a transfer request and is looking to force through the move to Madrid. I'm fookin' sick of mollusc power. :no

hey zara. maradona offered 4 year contract extension to stay on as argentina coach :oh:

if he accepts he needs to get a capable assistant in alongside him surely? he may be a legend but tactically he's completely clueless as he showed against germany.

Agreed St.. they had a grt recepion when they went back home. And all the players want him to stay too.

hopefully they can sort the asst thhing and become stronger in defence.. I still believe they played the best football at the WC.. up until that momento .. :down:

I blame the Octopus :angry:

BTW - how do you get your sig on the page.. i.e moving video.. PM me your secret please

And we wonder about all those dodgey refereeing decisions and why Bellend Blatter refuses to have a 4th official in the stand.......?

Even an extra man wouldn't guarantee there would be no mistakes. Wasn't there a Europa League game last season where they had an extra official and a legit goal was still ruled out. Might have been Fulham actually.
