Yup - was aware of that. Was there not plans afoot to build a new casino in town though? Either way, just regurgitating what I was told. The source is also no Walter Mitty - that's all I'll say. The man who he is connected to may well be, however and also has the motive for an agenda against the new owner. It's Kaiser Soze, isn't it. The rascal.

£750,000 bid for someone who is free to leave in the summer?

Bookies are still offering about 5/1 on us going down.

WARNING - Reading this may cause diarrhoea.

He probably agrees with you, but doesn't want to knock anyone's confidence when he's got nobody to replace them with.

Charlie Nicholas is a fking nobody. He's the Franny Jeffers of the 80's.

Even Mark Hughes said the result was hard on us.

Necessity? not really Zoggy and MArtins are available Is Martins ready for 90mins? Zoggy's heart isn't in it.

Necessity?

"There is nervousness throughout the side." No wonder he lost so much money at cards.

That'll be Martins then.

It's a crutch. Maybe if he concentrated on tracking the movement of players and stopped trying to be fucking Braveheart all the time, he might improve.

Am I right in thinking Sky have only shown one of our away games this season?

Early goal and a comfortable win.

NOUS, man. NOUS!

Attributes and attitudes.

I'd rather we held out the big money until we had footballing incentives to offer. We don't need stars, we just need options. The problem isn't that the players aren't good enough, it's that we have to play them regardless. I'd like to see us unearth the next Lescott or Cahill.

the current champions, soon to be re-crowned, who slaughtered us on saturday, did so by virtue of the fact that their 5 forwards who played cost approx 70m between them to buy. Value now higher in the case of 4 of those players. Not an academy player in sight among them. Just goes to show eh ? What absolute crap is this "lets pour all our eggs into the youth policy" hoping to build successful sides on the cheap. Man Utd have a great youth academy. It's called Portugal.

A few decent signings - don't have to be blockbusters, just decent - in a few key areas, would change us dramatically. Left back, a defensive midfielder and a forward to compliment Martins and Owen. Don't have to spend much; they just have to be better than Butt, Smith and Enrique... ...and more mobile than Viduka. Wholesale changes are a disaster waiting to happen.

Christ. He's only broken a bone, not become permanently disabled. He'll get the best medical care going, and probably earn more you ever will in you life - just while he's on the sick. So what? Still a pretty sick chant. I wouldn't wish an injury like that on anyone and money isn't everything. Bollocks. I bet if someone offered you £500k to break your left ankle, you'd throw in the right one in for nowt. Not really no, £500k would always be nice but I don't need it. Righto. I'd go swimming with Barrymore for that kind of money.
