Come to think of it, he's probably also in mourning because it looks like we might be getting rid of Alan Smith.

Don't be too hard on NE5. He must be really gutted that we're signing a good player.

Agree but it's not saying much.

Always hated Michel Dugarry, for some reason. Maybe it was the girly headband. Lee Bowyer, of course. Ian Rush, John Aldridge, Mark Hughes, Paul Merson, Don Hutchinson, Gabriel Batistuta, Vinnie Jones, Dennis Wise, Oliver Bierhof, John Fashanu, Terry Venables.

I'll save my eulogies for the time being, but this is not happy news.

I'd read it the other way -- he's still got an association with Liverpool that he simply doesn't have with us.

Seriously, though, I just looked at their website to see if they did "promotional work" and spotted that story.

Hmm.

"Promotional work"? Sounds like bullshit to me. Are we supposed to be promoting them, or vice versa?

And fair enough, as it goes.

Yep, we've certainly improved since he left. I for one am much happier with the current state of play now that we don't have to worry about Bellamy's name appearing in the press. In the final 1/3 of the pitch, out on the paddock....... have we? What happens out on the pitch is what matters most. Erm, it was sarcastic. You have to be remember, when addressing mong, that he has absolutely no sense of humour.

They can probably sue us for wearing facemasks.

My favourite one of those is Chile fans at games against Bolivia singing "Let's go to the beach" because at some point in history Chile stole Bolivia's coastline.

Aye, it's a snappy one, that.

Nobody.

I guess all Napoli fans will now be able to sue Inter for €1,500 each.

Dave's correct to point out that you've moved the goalposts of your "argument". But that's OK. Only a fool would expect you to debate anything honestly.

My fears over this summer is not having a ready squad for the 1st game of the season. The lack of transfer activity in the early stages is as much to blame as the injuries. Instead of hitting the ground running, we will be playing catchup, again, as per fuking usual, but its no surprise, it really isn't. Absolutely TT, you and I and a few others we're banging on about this early close season, but we were shouted down as being impatient afar moaning that other people aren't moaning enough. You couldn't make it up.

Obviously fun for pedants and nit-pickers, too.

Bet dancing the post-match conga at the Stadium of Shite was fun.

Silly season.

Those guys at Liverpool are pretty vocal.
