But could he do it on a cold Wednesday night at the Britannia? He's shit until then, for me.

overrated

£12m rising to £15m tbh

And he was going to be at Jong Ajax, rather than Ajax, initially...

Their ratings are a bit silly; Inter haven't done anything massively spectacular, but they've been a bit harsh - Nagatomo for instance, very solid signing.

Happens to us all the time. I reckon Sordell will step up, Iwelumo will be a good foil. A couple of players from Scotland to complement what we have look like they'll do a job, defence strengthened by having an actual left-back as well as David Mirfin who appears to be solid, adding actual defensive cover, as well as whoever else wants to pop up and do a job from Harefield (and loanees, we're bound to get a couple in), we'll do fine.

They've signed pretty much all of Watford's backroom staff, tried for all of the first team, all of our transfer targets, etc. They probably don't actually have money, but they're pulling some out from nowhere. Peterborough will go down. Brighton and Southampton both look solid, Southampton moreso than Brighton, despite Brighton's signings perhaps being more standout, purely by virtue of the fact that Southampton have retained all their key players (I wouldn't class Chamberlain as 'key' [Lallana, Fonte, Lambert are, however]) and if they sign a centre-back and a forward (or manage to keep David Connolly fit all season) I don't see why momentum shouldn't propel them towards the top of the table; looking at Millwall and Norwich last season, Southampton are just as strong as either of those. Ipswich have invested well, they did really well at the backend of last season under Jewell and I can see them pushing. Portsmouth are investing too, a very strong first XI but absolutely no depth. Boro will struggle massively, relative to expectations, I think.

I thought we were going down last year, did alright, lost some big players, but I reckon we can do enough to stay up, new signings look not unreasonable. I wouldn't be entirely shocked if we struggled, but mildly surprised if we did go down.

Expect the Championship to throw up a shitload of surprises. There's something dodgy about Leicester, imo, their owner really isn't that wealthy, where's the money actually coming from?

Fuck off.

Any Norwegians know if Kara Mbodj of Tromso is anywhere near as good as FM will have you believe? Wikipedia seems to rate him, but we all know how reliable that is...

Don Cowie goes to Cardiff on a free transfer. Long-term Watford targets Craig Conway and Andrew Taylor join Cardiff. Three of our backroom staff (including fitness bloke - most important person in pre-season) join Cardiff. All my good feeling towards Malky has gone. I'm indifferent to the cunt, tearing our club to pieces, despite having enough money and resources to target other players. Absolute fucking joke.

Aye,signing a midfielder who scored more than our entire midfield put together last season has got me really worried. Maybe if we replaced our 12 goal top scorer with a 2 goal a season player in Cabaye I would be really worried. Nice baiting, bro. No baiting. Just simple cold,hard facts. lol.

no offence, but you don't really have a chance at chamberlain.

you have a PM. if anyone else wants one. let me know.

does anyone not have a betfair account, but wants one, with a free £25 bet?

although apparently chris hughton may be our new manager, if whispers are to be believed...

will the last one at vicarage road turn off the lights please...

player of the season and young player of the season gone in two days best takeover ever dickheads

if he's got any sense he won't join Swansea

brendan rodgers can go fuck himself in the eye with a rusty spanner

One, Jimmy Davis. His friend Danny Webber came on loan to us at the same time, so was probably playing whenever these chants were made. Must have been pretty bad for him.

Mazza's not on here is he? He's a different sort of legend. their double act on xbox live back in the day was actual carnage

Not sure, but I want to say Man City? I'm sure they did. Did Fulham and even Blackpool do it? Can't remember if Fulham were that far down and cannot remember if there was a gap for Blackpool. Gap for Blackpool. Watford did it, 97/98 Champions of Division 2, 98/99 play-off winners in Division 1 (2-0 win vs Bolton, Allan Smart and Nicky Wright overhead kick). also did it in the 80s, when they went from division 4 to division 1 in successive seasons.
