You can do absolutely anything that you put your mind to Ronaldo, I think you just need a bit more confidence. http://images.wikia.com/simpsons/images/8/8a/Homer_Simpson_as_an_Astronaut.jpg BELIEVE

Rested. He must be fucking shattered after doing less pre-season training than those are playing.

Carr, Babayaro, Ramage. We've had some absolute shitters.

Tavernier is his body double and also positional understudy so it means we might get a close look at him.

It's even less successful than Michael Jackson's last tour.

Ryven. We've combined the two, the lad can head in his own setpieces, it's foolproof. We've also created Lovenobi who can fuck up chances, create nowt and still leave a place in the team for an actually competent striker.

He's managed that several times already.

I wish we'd fucking get some closure on this. We're wasting so much time.

That's like saying there's a new theme park opening this weekend but all that's ready to use is the teacups and the burger van.

Not really. They are/were both expensive Allardyce buys and neither are fit enough to attract top flight interest. One plundered 18 goals in the Championship and won the Player of the Season award - the other posted half a dozen 6/10 displays at the start of the season and then was replaced in the team by a(nother) podgy Scouse man. One secured a fee of £4m when sold - the other we're struggling to shift for free to fucking Leeds and there's talk of us still paying a percentage of his wages just to get shot of the useless shithouse. One got into double figures in the Premier League last season, the other barely managed double figures in terms of appearances. One of them when missing saw us fail to win a Premier League game in about 8 attempts, the other... Do you not see? You can cherry-pick a few similarities such as both are slow etc but Nolan's clearly the superior player.

Didn't Ameobi III sign for an Icelandic club recently?

That seems far too sensible.

annoyance disapproval disdain

I'd still feel mildly underwhelmed if he was our sole other signing up front. Dunno why, just get the impression that he's one of those plenty graft, 8 goals a season type forwards that so many sides have. If he turns us down again and we end up with no-one/Sylvan Ebanks-Blake on loan or summat equally shite on deadline day I'll be fuming that we've wasted so much time on this guy.

If Steve Harper tries to make a full length dive and no-one is around to experience it, does he make a sound?

25 man squad - 18 matchday players = 7 spare players and presumably 3 or 4 kids from the reserves that could be shoved on there How many times during the first season featuring 7 subs (KK leaving and Kinnear etc) did we see the likes of Doninger, Godsmark, Danquah etc having bench spots and never playing? It can happen, but I don't see the harm, it's just a good opportunity for them to sample being part of the squad, even if they are a bit naff.

Amazing. He's been subbed at half-time, too. Wonder if Pedro's gone all John Sitton on his ass and sacked the useless prick.

Why? What the fuck, this will ruin FM, as has been said.

Been loads of big signings man... Young, Downing, Adam, Henderson, Gervinho, Jones, De Gea, Clichy, Cabaye, Whickham etc. Gardner, Larsson, Westwood, South Korean Striker, Brown, O'Shea
