really hope not Not for that price at least.

That fella has massive feckin norks.

I don't think he's going. It'd be yet another player Sam would have to worry about replacing: even more so if there are still doubts about Emre's future.

I'm a big fan of Heinze. I don't know what the fuck happened to him last season: a combination of injury concerns, confidence and being played out of position, I think. He's an immense player, really.

What's an education contract?

I think the mackems'll stay up. There's a lot of shit this year and a bit more quality, if they can get it, might just do the job.

What about mackem abuse? Sometimes good, sometimes sad.

So, NSG, would you say you'd be tempted to give it to a young butt?

'And while he has never been a prolific scorer, Dyer nevertheless has 36 goals in a black-and-white shirt a total that is only better by Nobby Solano (48) and Shola Ameobi (46) of the current staff.' Oh, well. There you fucking go, then.

Can't really see how this changes anything in regards to signings etc.

Where was Emre, btw?

Saw Shola play Barca off the pitch, which is a damn sight crazier.

Team getting booed off the pitch when we finished 5th.

Sounds like a classic.

Did Luque go to Austria? I guess not.

Why's Luque not fit?

Now its not that I believe this particular story...Just using it to illustrate a point. This way West Ham seem to be going about things - The stupid contract on offer to Bellamy, there was talk that they offered Barton way more than Newcastle did...I think its embarrasing. They don't even seem to be trying to get players to come in for reasons other than the moneys. On Faubert, I heard that the kid wanted to go to Rangers, burnt his bridges at Bordeaux, then West Ham came in and gazumped Rangers bid so he was basically forced to go there. Similar to how Newcastle got Owen. Totally the wrong way to go about things I think and as such I don't think its going to end well. It's not a good way to get players, but at least we had reasons: the impending retirement of Shearer for one. West Ham just seem to be gannin mental for the sake of it.

Alright, ban the lot of them. Just do it. BAN THEM ALL!

One of my best mates is a mackem and he's the soundest lad you could ever meet, but the sheer delusion that pours from his mouth about Sunderland is incredible. Despite being relegated in the most humiliating circumstances the past two times they've been promoted, he still thinks it's going to be a cakewalk cos' they've got Quinn and some dog-fucker.

Think we could do wose than Sonko or Ingimarsson, but I'm not sure they're really of the quality we need. A player of that ilk, plus one with PL experience of very good quality, plus a Johnny Foreigner would be good business.

Hold on. Since when the switch from ITV? I hope we don't have to put up with Ian Wright in the studio they've erected next to the bogs at Victoria Park.

I'm sure Sam sees him as a midfielder/utility player. Be interesting to see where he plays tonight.

All I see is a bunch of numbers. What the hell are you lot talking about?

What's happened to Sol?

Yes. Utter shit.
