Caulker's an upgrade but he's poor at dealing with players running at him, just like Colo.

Welbeck has been in pretty much every England side since Roy took over. He was always going, man.

Carroll ahead of Lambert and Terry ahead of Smalling and that would've been my squad, I think.

Smalling and Jones would always be going anyway as CB back-up so it makes sense to only take one RB.

Good.

Baines isn't as good at defending, and you know that.

He'll have to be physically forced out and fortunately we're not far off having the manpower to make that feasible without anyone having to go to prison. I'm optimistic.

Ah, the days when folk would come round to your house to 'watch the match on Sky'. Good times.

Yeah, they're resigned to him going elsewhere.

Irlande, keine Punkte.

Tenner says he is. Accepted. He certainly won't be starting in 2016.

Baines probably won't be there in 2016 either.

Easily.

Using the biggest stage in football to plan for the future. Get real.

It would be if he wasn't the best English LB.

Harper managed to get one More to do with the availability of a lucrative opposition.

Why wasn't that particularly well attended again, was it quite overpriced? Bilbao iirc. Remember tickets seemed way ott for a testimonial. £20. Worth it to see Laurent Robert's first game, though.

Does he fuck. Rob Lee just barely got one for the love of Christ.

Yeah, that's completely thrown me.

It does, till you remember that Chelsea spent £17m on RB Jose Bosingwa.

What would you consider to be worse, Pardew getting sacked or Shola leaving?

Fuck it, I'd probably take relegation if it meant Pardew going and his career in utter ruins.

I'd take relegation if it meant a different owner with a hint of footballing ambition.

One dive in one game. There was no cheating in the other two games, just bad refereeing but that's a La Liga wide problem. Mole, you don't count.

Yes.
