Joke. Again.

jesus. spuds could be in big bother here like.

any news? havnt read since around page 190?

Yobo available for loan apparently. He'd do well here IMO.

Thougt Williamson and colo did well. As did Jose, Valencia didn't get a sniff IMO. Harper should have done better on the third, went down in installments (as ever). Didn't expect anything else tonight, they're one of the worlds best sides and we were ona hiding to nowt. Our season wnt be dictated by games against teams like man utd. Season states next week for me.

ant and dec did their 'rumble' and lee clark was found at 7 am in the bushes asleep. soudns like quite a do. michellin star chefs, ice tables and chairs etc.

Would be good for arsenal. Not sure why city would sell to them though.

It's only a few hundred yards up the street. You can't really see it. Just a gate.

Just had a text off a mate who is there. Ronan keating is there, as is ant and dec (with Georgie Thompson). Usual footballers that you would expect are there. Along with steve spud face Bruce.

Aye. It's shearers 40th today. Know a couple of people who have gone. Bet it's a he'll of a bash.

Strong rumours he's gone to Cardiff.

Oy!! I head to floritas regularly!

Hard lines shay. Can't stand him.

Scotland signs for Ipswich. Amazed strachan didn't go for him.

Wellbeck having mackems medical.

Rangers have bid for Beattie and tommy smith

Basham to Blackpool apparently.

5 signings in one day for Blackpool!

Awful news. R.I.P

pretty sure we couldn't put the clause in for lua because they paid a fee. the rules has changed now though I think.

Campbell has caused quite a stir from apparently. man utd and arsenal very keen on the lad. him and a midfielder for barca the main tournament talking points.

radio down here (Manchester) reckon everton have shown their hand.

Nah, it won't be that. MON has been the one who has sounded like he wanted to cash in on Milner this summer, apart from anything. As I said earlier, I think it goes back to the fact that over the last two years, we've accrued an immense wage bill, including a lot of players on big deals, who never get a game. Habib Beye, 31 years old, 3 year contract, 40k a week. Nicky Shorey, 40k a week, never used. Sidwell, 40k a week, comes on for ten mins here and there (and is s***) Also, revealed recently that Emile Heskey (3.5 year contract at age 31, on 60k a week) is the highest earner at the club. Personally, I think that is the thing which has done for him. Is it good for us? Well, I don't know. I do think that had he stayed, he'd have got us to 6th or 7th this season again. That's not his problem, he could get most decently funded teams to around that level. His problem is that having got us there for three years, he plainly didn't have what it took to move us on. And that's not just judged on points / positions, it is judged to a large degree on what we've seen on the pitch at home for the last two years, where the football has been terribly predictable, and unproductive. It is good for us if Lerner appoints the right man. Were it not for the fact I've just heard he's been installed as favourite, I would be putting money on Martin Jol right now. He's the sort of manager we could use, and he's got an affinity for the club (used to watch us play on his days off when he was playing at Albion). As an outside bet, what is Klinsmann doing these days? Rumours he is a friend of Lerner, and he was widely considered to be his planned manager before the takeover, until he heard everyone else wanted MON. Strange, rarely does the negoiation of salaries fall the manager, that's generally a chairman level negoiation. im sure it would have been done by the chairman. the point is, he has backed his manager, buying who he wanted, and he either has never used them, or they've been fucking shite.

specultaion that its because they have agreed to sell milner and ashley young.

what a shout.
