Sorry, but I can't agree with that. There's no place for goal music, in any form or level of football. It is the work of the devil.

A lot of our fans use him as a piece of evidence in the prosecution of Martin O'Neill, and to be honest, they've got a point. He cost a lot of money and hasn't done much, but he's been incredibly unlucky with injuries until now. He and El Ahmadi look decent in the middle, they keep hold of the ball well. I just wish Delph would break forwards more often than he does. One thing I don't like - and i saw this against Tranmere in the week - is he still has a tendency to put in really rash tackles. if you're interested in that kind of bet, I'd say if you stuck a quid on Delph to get booked or sent off every week, you'd finish the season well up.

No. We've got a lot to do this season, we're going to lose a lot of matches in the meantime. We're completely changing the way we play, so we're going to have a few games where we take a hiding. The pain will be worth the gain in the end, but like i said, we'll take a few kickings in the meantime. Ta. Any idea how you'll be lining up? Something along the lines of the below, but Lambert is notorious for changing his line up from one week to the next (he's the anti-MON in that sense). Guzan Bennett - Vlaar - Baker - Lowton N'Zogbia - Delph - El Ahmadi - Holman Ireland Bent

Crouch's legs are ridiculous.

Given was good for us last season, but you have to put up with the fact that while he'll pull off amazing world class saves, he has absolutely no idea how to marshall a defence. Guzan will be our first choice keeper by the end of the season, and will possibly start tomorrow.

Redknapp is so stupid, he can't even fucking speak properly. WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE?

The standard of punditry on MOTD is truly shocking. It's like being pinned down for an hour every saturday evening and having the same bucket of sick poured over your head by a couple of tits in smart casual dress.

Mind you, Wayne Routledge scored at Villa Park in that match. That's something I never, ever thought I'd see.

I like Swansea's style of play, but I have to say, i fucking HATE supporters of newly promoted teams, and their lot were the worst last year, with their predictable "premier league, you're having a laugh" and various chants designed to communicate the fact that the grounds of established PL teams are actually "libraries" and their fans are so noisy, they're like nothing we've ever heard before. Yes, we understand you're all excited, you've only just got here for the first time, but SHUT THE FUCK UP, THE REASON WE'RE QUIET IS BECAUSE WE'RE USED TO IT AND PLAYING A NEWLY PROMOTED TEAM IS TOTALLY FUCKING UNINSPIRING.

From RTG It's not like they weren't warned I have watched countless away matches under MON which involved hanging on for dear life, getting about 2 chances all match, and taking them. He's very, very much a 20th century manager. He'll do ok with them but the price will be like it was for us when he left - a squad of overpaid, over-expensive players who only know one way to play - a way which everyone else stopped playing three years ago.

I have a nagging feeling that at some point, the person we know as "AVB" is going to reveal that, actually, he's not the real AVB, he's a clueless imposter of some sort. The guy is utterly clueless. Ha ha ha.

Ah, the most retarded people in football - the people behind the bloke outside Stoke's training ground.

The only thing you need to know about QPR is that they're going to be the next Portsmouth. Surely their fans must be worried?

"Yossi Benayoun earns £92,000 a week at Chelsea" And that sentence explains what a fucking freakshow English football is.

Everton are going to have a great season. Their performance at our place last week was one of the best I've seen from an away side at our place for at least ten years.
-
Jesus, I thought Otter was joking. You're in a much, much better place than West Ham, Southampton and Sunderland. As well as the vast majority of the rest of the PL. Outside the usual CL sides, the rest of the league is in awe at the business you've done in recent years, and how quickly you've turned it around from being a relegated side to being one that is clearly on the up.
-
Every single window there's a much mooted transfer to Spurs that makes you think, "wow, that's fucking impressive", then it never actually happens. Meanwhile, Daniel Levy is in the background cackling like a Bond villain, as he's shifted a few mediocre players elsewhere for double what they're worth.

Other than Piers Morgan, I can't think of another television personality I'd more like to set about with a baseball bat and a blowtorch than that enormous fucking cock socket Jim White. He makes me ashamed to be a football supporter.

Here's another MON fact. In 2009, when he was at River Plate, Radamel Falcao was "offered" - "offered" - to Martin O'Neill, via the same agent who had brought us Juan Pablo Angel several years previously. Marty said no, he had his eye on a domestic striker. Emile Heskey. I notice Sunderland have made all their signings from the UK market again. Funny, that.
-
Apparently Ashley Westwood from Crewe is having a medical with us. Swansea wanted him to replace Joe Allen. Interesting strategy of identifying and acquiring promising younger players. Joe Bennett, Jordan Bowery and now Westwood (and possibly Stephens from Charlton). Benteke is pretty young, too. We need some more experienced heads in too, though.

Jenas and Danny Rose. Dear God alive, Martin never changes, does he?
-
If it does, I hope it goes like it did for us last year with Jenas.
