To be fair he might be really talented at pool or darts or something like that.

That, my friend, is a reasonable shout.

Fuck me, that's a bit of a bolt from the blue.

I think there's bacteria who have got a better life than Ryder.

January 2013 proved these wankers can get it done if they really want it to happen. The fact we're dragging our heels means it's either done for financial reasons as the article states or there is an unwillingness to invest. Or both.

I've been saying this for a while on here tbh. It's the sort of stupid bullshit we love to do. Aye, it's plausible.

I'll wait until it's confirmed as always but it sounds encouraging IF it comes off. Always maintained that there's some talent in the squad and getting coached properly is the first step to turning this shit around. The players aren't thick, they know that being coached by morons at a club where being 'just good enough' is positively encouraged is a breeding ground for bad habits and complacency. Who knows, it may even switch a few back on and they could even, possibly look interested and motivated into trying to fulfil their potential? Imagine that...

Sell to buy. Same as it ever was. If only we had a bit of cash to spend lying around somewhere.

He's a liability and has been for quite sometime, he played reasonably well when he took the armband for a month or so a while back but in general he's regressed since the 5th. Saying that a few of them have - Krul, Cisse, Colocinni etc have all gone backwards in the last 3 years. Proper coaching (McClaren's strength by all accounts) could possibly sort a few of them out but the "that'll do" attitude has become ingrained and it'll be difficult to shift.

Ah, so this is the spin. Can't make signings because the window hasn't officially opened.... Better tell Liverpool they can't do any business yet.

I've got a simple rule when it comes to stories in the media - I don't believe any of them. Regardless of club, player or source I regard all of them as horseshit, it's much easier that way, saves all the hassle of wanting to believe the positive stuff and doubting the negative stuff. It's all just fiction and none of it is true 'til something actually happens.

Can he juggle a ball on his nose too? Like a fucking performing sea-lion.

We'll have someone there. Probably staying in a Youth Hostel and peering through a gap in the fence to save a few hundred quid like but....look after the pennies.

Wonder how much we could sell him for?

Ironically I think selling Carroll for as much as we did is now hindering us a bit! He's become the new benchmark for any young, English club/player now, how many times have you heard "...well if Carroll's worth £35m then X is worth £y". We're stuck in 2008 as far as transfer fees is concerned, the fact that we've only went in big for Cabella and Cisse over the last 7 or 8 seasons has manipulated fans into thinking a fee of circa £15m is a monumental transfer the likes of which come around once every few years. Players are worth what someone's prepared to pay and PL clubs have never had more cash coming in. They've all got a fortune to spend and someone will cough up big for the likes of Austin and Berahino, it won't be us though. The people running the club need to get realistic if they're targeting young English players, it's the most expensive market to shop in.

Errrrrr...

To be fair someone said it weeks ago so I would be stealing their thunder if I took any credit. It was Bluestar.

It's amazing how we can only sort out one thing at a time as well. Should employ some women who can fucking multi-task. its insane, the club SM left have signed players already, we haven't had a manager for near 6 months. Pathetic. The earlier you sign them the sooner you need to start paying them. #wait

Sharp as a dart that. May even purchase it.

Sometimes hard to distinguish between the official, preferred propaganda and the unofficial propaganda.

Genuinely annoying how all of the other teams are investing and moving forward. Wish we got a slice of the tv money everyone else did. Cunts.

Still plenty of time to make our own luck, hit the ground running and give the new signings time to bed it, it's a moveable feast.

As if we're getting a draw. Extra games get you relegated, remember?

With all due respect to JJ and the other members the whole charade isn't worth a fuck. Any questions that even vaguely hint at their lack of ambition will be ignored totally but we'll hear all about their efforts to cater for disabled fans by widening their allocated space by 5cm or something just as trivial and/or irrelevant. This is no fault of the members of the FF obviously but continuing to attend despite being fobbed off somehow adds a bit of credence to the whle sham. They need to either do it properly or not at all, continuing as it is absurd.

So looks like it might just be the FA Cup we are 'taking seriously' again, then? That is an absolutely outrageous statement. Once again nothing has changed. League survival is still the only objective, and we will take the cups "seriously" if it looks like we are safe halfway through the season. This summer is all about the emperor's new clothes. But....but.....but I thought he did an interview and told us everything had changed? You mean to tell me he was just lying? Well butter my arse.
