I see they've used the current farce as an excuse to put a link to their sponsors Paddy Power giving odds on the next manager. Classy... ...really classy.

Ashley wants to humiliate us more. It's like finding out your wife is having an affair, then finding out that everyone else knew before you.

D'oh!

We've made some canny signings, but sometimes it feels like whenever we make two steps forward, the clubs ahead of us take four steps.

Enjoys nothing more than a night out watching young lads get beaten.

Fat chance. I'm going to obsessively hit F5 until about four in the morning.

What plane?

Why would you loan someone with the prospect of a ban hanging over him?

Praise be!

We're a left-back short.

They can sign who they like; we've still got KK and they've got Mark Hughes. I'm happier with our lot.

That'll be the same Man Utd that weren't interested before he knacked his legs and lost his pace?

Who's the third?

Carragher falls over. Free-kick to Liverpool.

Andy Gray blaming Mascherano for Torres' injury. FFS.

£1 on Chelsea to win either 2 or 3-0. After the first goal was scored, so I'll get between £4-6 depending how it goes. Edit: Bent, you absolute cunt.

Great sig, Geordiesned.

It sounds like a cop-out, but it is a tremendous financial commitment. It's more than Villa will fork out for Milner. I wonder if Ashley gave Keegan a choice - Keep one, lose the other. Is it a coincidence that the deal has been offered after Milner has departed? Conjecture though isn't it. Pure guesswork, probably untrue. Wasn't presenting it as fact. I know mate but often these theories can catch on with other people and they presume it's a fact. Keegan, Ashley et al believe it's worth spending £19million on Owen than £15million keeping Milner. That we do know.

god no He's got an impressive goals/games ratio, albeit in the Scottish League. His absence from the squad today is a little odd.
