I think i'd have more respect for Alan if he just said look I haven't been backed with the players I want. To me he seems to do the opposite and blames everything and anything for his failings and that's because he kisses Mike Ashley's ass because he's desperate to keep this job and doesn't want to rub Ashley the wrong way.

Sky sports put us in the viewers poll for who is going to win the league alongside, Arsenal, Chelsea, Man United, Man City, Liverpool, Spurs. Best of the rest Or they just picked the best supported teams knowing they will txt in

Didn't think I would feel as negative as I did last season but if anything it feels worse. Anything more than a battering and I will be delighted.

Don't get that. So whatever your wage bill was the previous year, you are able to match that but also add about £4m a year on top. Seems ridiculously unfair on the smaller teams that may want to spent a bit to bridge the gap with the big boys.

Never thought we'd be in for Fernandes. Like fuck have we scouted in Turkey Agents will be pitching us players right up until the end of the window but I bet they will want to stick to their policy of scouting the shit out of players before they even make an approach.

There was a dark cloud hanging over this club when Souness was in charge and it's same feeling with this guy for me.

Only really seen one european game with Colo-Mapou as a partnership but they looked solid and something had some potential. Would like to see it over a longer period of games.

Don't know where this idea has come from that Taylor is some big dominating defender. He maybe slightly stronger than Mapou but he is significantly slower.

Probably. Feel like we're (people at the club) sleepwalking into a shit storm of a season.

plus he has no eyebrows

I always did hate Moyes

Interesting watch, the Speed bit :'( Very good show that, watched it first time round on BBC3. Cheers for that, just watched it on the iplayer. Interesting watch.

Aren't gambling companies swell.

Can't remember who it was maybe L'equipe but they said the price was 7m euros the other day.

Surprised Hart is the only Man City player. Suppose the do have a lot of foreign players.

Swap Shola for Gouff and I would probably take that.

Fantastic

although at the same time he's getting on a bit and has no place falling off ladders so feel bit sorry for him

The big Debuch I believe but no Cabaye Belgium should dick france on paper but they probs won't

^^^^^ The Kinnear tide is turning! *god damn new page wanker

Or first home game of the season, new manager, new optimism, new more attacking tactics, most of their star players fit and healthy etc. Whereas if they are out of the title race later on they could just give up the later part of the season like last year like losing at home to Norwich etc. Christ I can't find positivity in anything

wasn't it also something more along the lines of "silver lining because he had a bad season, teams aren't as likely to come in for him" or words to that effect.

Hopefully witnessing Shola's performance starting again against Braga will be enough to slap him back into some sort of sense.

What was the stuff about Marcel Desailly in reference too?

Gets a cut of each sale remember?
