no, not our friend in the know, the real Martin Jol, has been named Hamburg manager. SSN. That is all.

RIP.

Never seen him play, but part of me wants us to sign him just as a signal of intent. Get someone in now, and it shows we want to move quickly and aren't pissing about, like we have done in the past. It might settle a few nerves for some on here. I agree with Wullie's point too. Its worth taking a risk in the hope that he'll be good/come good for around the £10-12m mark, rather than go in for someone that might be proven, but will cost far more.

confirmation that Ramage has gone to QPR. They've also got Cerny. http://www.qpr.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10373~1311436,00.html

Whys it all young'uns modelling it? Please don't say they still pride themselves on that 'academy of football' bollocks?

Allardyce and everything connected with him (results, style of play, Alan Smith). The fact we had to contemplate relegation this season.

'The Game' supplement in the Times today said Faye was our player of the season. Obviously many on here would say Beye, but I don't think some on here under-value him. As The Janitor says, we've most definitely missed him when he's been out.

"Tell Saha, Saha, he won't be home for tea, he's going to Wem-ber-lee" "Knowing me, knowing you, SAHAAA!"

Bent. Although I think Crouch is the one we would be more likely to get. Wouldn't mind getting both, as I'm still not 100% certain that Owen or Oba (or both) will stay if the 'right' offer comes in. Never seen Gomis play, but if Keegan's going over to France to watch him, and thinks he's good enough, then I trust him.

"swirling mist" Does he mean smog?

Boro win 8-1 and half the fans aren't there to see it. Fucking brilliant. Serves them right.

completely caught napping. Fucking hell.

silly free kick given away. Shit defending.

Zarate with a shaved heed!

seeing that Chelsea kit close up/from all angles. It's fucking horrible.

That would probably be my team like.

One day, in 10 years, Alan Smith's name will appear here.

Newcastle (International) Airport, funnily enough.

McDermott said, in a bid to raise morale and play a game "silence in the courtyard, silence in the street. The biggest mouth in England is just about to speak. Starting frommmm now!" and they all went along with it.

we get in quick and pick up a few players who have a good Euro 2008 (and continue that form with us). Can't see much more tbh.

fuck this. Gonna just post in the other thread about other games. I don't care.

Enrique off. LuaLua on. Zog to left-back.

King Sibba on for Wigan

someone that will be regularly be on the pitch and can stick one right in the corner time after time (see Matt Le Tissier). If Owen were to work on them, I'd happily see him continue. I'm just not convinced at the minute and think his luck will run out soon.

I'm quite surprised to see Chelsea are still 0-0 with Bolton. I know Bennett's been absolutely wank, but Chelsea only have themselves to blame if the scores stay the same.
