Bale is definitely off imo. Can see City going in for him actually...

I wonder if he'll link up with Anelka in Shanghai...

Now that just wouldn't be fair. Howay FFP, do something...

It's more of a promotional music video (sung by Hacken Lee, a very well known Hong Kong singer who loves his football) for NOW's (a Hong Kong cable TV company) coverage for the Euros.

Well they did give Barton a long contract with a weekly wage of over £70k...

Was just one little ball away from happening in the 2004 UEFA cup draw. Very frustrating You never know, it could happen next season (I'm actually hoping for it). Need a reason to go back to Bordeaux, an Europa League match is as good as any.

Same here. Thought he retired ages ago. Last chance saloon really, if he doesn't do anything next season, then he's definitely retiring imho.

Oh yes they can. Don't overestimate the mackems' intelligence...

Bordeaux have qualified for the Europa League. If we meet them at any point in the competition next season, I'm definitely making a trip there.

Only just seen that Mulumbu tweet, wouldn't mind him at all like. Would be decent backup to Cheik. Mind you though, that tweet was very unprofessional and bit of a dick move.

The last few weeks have been a smokescreen, Hazard's actually coming to us

Well done to Montpellier. Definitely deserved. Tonight will a night they will never forget (for a variety of reasons! )

If that is so, think he's made the right choice. The lesser of two evils, so to speak.

Just need an announcement from Debuchy to top it off.

If that is indeed the sanction, then really can't see QPR letting him hang around. In any case, he's certain to lose the captaincy.

This will do. Nowt to lose really - if he turns out to be brilliant, then by all means sign him up at the end of his loan spell; if it doesn't go well for him here then we don't exercise the purchase option and he just returns to Lyon. A risk-free deal which is why I can't see it happening, no benefit and a lot of risk for Lyon because if hes s**** for us his value would plummet again leaving them up s*** creek. Sounds as if Lyon just really want to get rid of them though, so much so that they're prepared to let him go out on loan... We'll see anyway but think it's the case that as long as Lyon get a fee, they'll be content (I could be completely wrong here mind).

Well done lads

Lad.

That's actually very well done, haha.

Got to say, even though Cardiff fans can be pricks, I'm tempted by a potential trip to Wales (I've never been).

Absolutely. Disliked him ever since his "football is only a job for me" quote (although tbf, I suppose such a quote can be a valid one for some players...).

I don't want to sound arrogant or anything but can he really find a club better than us? (and before anyone says anything, there's no fucking way he's going to Chelsea! ) He'll still get his games next season and theoretically, he can cover CB (albeit not too effectively).

£25k a week sounds about right for Simpson. He's a fool for not taking it tbh (though if he gets a better deal elsewhere then so be it). I've said it before and I'll say it again, I honestly think he's a decent enough RB. Yes, he has limitations but I would prefer him to stay (only as backup though). But if he decides to leave, then best of luck to him.

Makes for good entertainment tbf
