Or the top flight. No, hang on, come back to me.

Presumably we're only going for water based players with Gosling and Perch in the bag. Who next? Bridge? Boateng? Kanu?

Aye, the fans proper tretted him bad like.

It's right it's held in high regard because it's traditionally given to our best centre forward and we've had some absolute crackers of those. But it shouldn't be held back just because we're not doing well enough to have a world class centre forward to take it on.

Yeah, he took it really well. Could have lost his head when Gazza turned up with a fishing rod and the nets turned into five-a-side ones, but he kept his cool.

Their tactic seems to be to be unapologetic about being a selling club, meaning they can have a punt on promising your players like Moses because their agents know that DW won't stand in their way if anyone decent comes after them, and the net gain on transfers keeps the money ticking over. Of course it's a risky business because the players ahve to realise their potential, do well enough to keep them up and gain enough interest to keep the cash coming in (What happened to all this stuff about N'Zgobia going to Arsenal for £11m?)

That line made me read the rest of it in a Brummie accent.

Had a dream last night he scored an equaliser at Old Trafford to make it 1-1. Happy for the lad, he's no world beater but at least he's improving - which is a novelty for a club whose players are usually in a state of twilight years, career nosedive or stagnating unrealised potential. Guess it's a rare positive in our collapse that we're actually being forced to develop players and increase their value for a change.

Could always be those "mind games" though, he always seemed to play his strongest side against us after that 5-0 no matter how shit we were.

Just what I wanted, cheers. Fuck it, just bought one of these.

They started doing it on a train when I was over there, felt like the entire thing was bouncing off the track.

http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11661_6253557,00.html Sunderland manager Steve Bruce says he is holding talks with Sol Campbell over a possible deal for the defender.

I presume there's no copyright problems with player names any more? Just remember playstation games having players like Des Fardinand and Chris Sotton.

Does anyone give the slightest, tiniest fuck about the third place play-off? Even stat dullards like Motson only ever seem to say a team got as far as the semis in x year, or their best world cup was when they reached the semis, rather than saying they placed third.

Should say "Hello boys" instead.

Wasn't even raoulmoatly funny.

2/10, must try harder.

Hey... That's not the wallet inspector!

If we get him we should convince Stefan Schwarz to come out of retirement and pair them up.

Grimsby?

Looks like someone's being congratulated on the worlds first golf ball head transplant.

They're so on the ball, they never lose focus. They must have been at a concentration camp as well as a training camp. Have we got a batshit mental Maradona press conference to look forward to?

Well, that settles it, we're better than Argentina. Got that Friedrice bloke in my fantasy team

Well it'll be more enjoyable than our last relegation battle, the teams scrapping at the bottom either have players who have the talent but not the attitude, can't really be arsed and don't want to be there, or the players who maybe aren't as gifted but are glad to be playing premier league football and to be at the club. Even if the net result is the same or similar, it's easier to get behind the latter and I'd rather be fighting relegation with likable players than a bunch of dicks.
