And? If better players don't come forward what's Hodgson supposed to do? It'll be that 3 plus Wilshere and possibly Henderson. I know he's a Mackem and we're not meant to like him but Henderson has been class this seaso. Definite for Brazil

That would have been so much better if Shola was in the car

Redknapp is basically trying to recreate what he did at Portsmouth. I can't remember the year but they got promoted wth the likes of Merson, Sheringham and Stone - experienced PL players who were a class above.

Look at Carver as well. What a fucking creep. What a plank. JC is like the character in Mike Bassett who Bradley Walsh plays

If he doesn't score many / any goals that gives us a better chance of signing him in the Summer, yes?

Down with this sort of thing! Careful now! (Can someone on a computer link the pic)

Bet he was so glad to see Taylor on the bench today. Hopefully the last we've seen of him and QPR can sign him in the summer

Realistically this summer we could see the following leave Shola Marveaux Remy De Jong Cisse Gutierrez Ben Arfa Colocinni Debuchy Jesus....we'll probably replace 2 of them at best

It's pretty obvious we shop in France and tell the players that we can be a great stepping stone for them to play for one of the CL teams. Every player has a price and they all will have an informal agreement with the club on when and to who they can be sold to imo

It would have been specifically arranged by Wonga, the community sponsor

I liked Hoddle as England manager but that was 15 years ago ffs. He always strikes me as one of those who has a lot of friends in the media who continuously link him to work. Having said that, Kinnear and Keegan had hardly been on the frontlines of football when we hired them so who knows

Ashley has sucked my optimism out of the club to the extent that we might as well just keep Pardew. Just not convinced in any way that we'd replace Pardew with anyone decent. Cheap, out of work managers will be our target.

The fact that Steven Taylor is ahead of him says all you need to know at the moment

So sad the Cisse for the first 6 months has faded away. Thought we had a superstar

Everyone buys and sells players, it's just football. Doesn't make us a selling club.

If Cabaye and his agent had any sense they'd stay put until the Summer. Continue his good form, get in the France starting XI, have a mint World Cup then sign for Real Madrid.

Good luck to him. While in the end we pissed the Championship I've got huge respect for the lads that formed the core of that team. We've all seen similar good teams on paper in that division falter and their attitude and application was great all year. Jonas was key to that

Fucking destined to beat us next week

Yeah Birmingham and Wolves twice

Are West Ham the first team to buy a League 1 player to try and save their PL status?! They'll be re-signing Nigel Quashie next

So the 'fans' have gone all ITK - trying to double source some amazing news

So much of this in sports journalism. "How does it feel to win your first England cap?" Ah you know I'm fucking gutted.

Dave Whelan's broken leg

I wish he'd come out like Martinez has, and just say he's not for sale even for silly money.

I think it's meant to fit but football fans are never the most tuneful are they?
