You know things aren't going well when people are seriously arguing the comparative merits of Willie McKay and Mike Ashley. Yikes.

Just this morning I was asking myself "I wonder what Joey Barton's take on the relative roles of the U.S. and U.K. in the international community is." Now I know. Thanks Joey!

Are we likely to run into any issues with the home-grown players rule, with the way things are going? Am I correct that Colo and Jonas would count as home grown next season, under the three-year registration provision?

Derisory offer.

Does anybody really ever get in knife fights?

I would have wished him a better destination. Good luck to him.

We're gonna win Ligue 1 on our first try.
