Babel's contract at Hoffenheim is only 2 and a half years. Strange.

Arsenal's is incredibly low. Not surprising, like.

In the same way that Bale was meant to be a left back but has excelled on the left wing, Barton has accidently stumbled upon his most productive position. Sometimes players evolve and as their strengths change, so do their positions. In my mind, Barton plays on the right now.

He followed the sausage thing with: Breakfast with Dad during the transfer window is embarrassing. I still can't believe he tried to pay using Robbie Keane as a makeweight.

He's here for life. Get used to it.

Maybe Sky can replace him with Robbie Earle, Rodney Marsh or perhaps even Andy Townsend's Tactics Truck!

Relegation for me. But Hughton's sacking really hit me hard, strangely.

Doubt Keys will get sacked like, he's done less than Gray. The sexism incident, the Theo Walcott thing, the Faroe Islands one, that women's FA Cup final clip with Gray. Its stupid that he keeps letting himself get caught like this.

absolutely livid and gutted seriously upset at this. they've destroyed their football coverage. really really really really really REALLY wrong.

why?

I still really miss him

It sounds like their version of 'Giggs has just scored' and 'Roeder is looking at Kuyt tonight'.

This is madness....a storm in a teacup. They might be sexist - and being so 'on the job' is idiotic - but we're all prejudiced in some way, even subconsciously. I will say that its moronic that Keys keeps getting caught out with this stuff, but overall I really hope they don't sack the pair of them - Sky Sports will be much worse without them. You seen the BBC/ITV matchday stuff? Sky pisses all over them. They need to stay.

RTG are the funniest script writers around - lay off them! Obviously no group of people can be consistently so retarded in real life. It beggars belief!

TheBig_Sam: Thrilled about my commentary debut. You realise how privileged you are when you can do your job while being naked from the waist down. Can't explain how exhilarating it is to be able to poetically describe a Drogba scorcher while gently tickling your testes at the same time. Andy Gray sent me a lovey text congratulating me. "Your whore wife owes you an extra special dinner when you get home," he quipped. A gent. Then he sent another one, saying "her tits where offside" and how the Queen is just "a shit King who doesn't even have a cock or nothing". I think he was drinking. I just ignored it and told him to go to sleep.

you always nail the facial expressions

would love those european thursday nights to return, but the squad depth is really worrying. honestly, im happy enough to just slowly build ourselves up and be patient. if we keep our core players, we'll get there soon enough. but if we get there, i'm certainly not gonna turn it down.

Hope you're both right. The positive thing is, after these 7 difficult games, the last 7 'easier' games will be against teams fighting at the bottom.

I know they have difficult games coming up, but Sunderland are pretty much there now. Can't see 2 teams overtaking them - certainly not ourselves, Stoke or Bolton. Only Liverpool and Everton will be able to do it, unless Villa really turn it around.

Disaster (if true). Hope its a lie, but whenever we really hope the rags are lying.....typically, its the truth. Christ, even Ben Arfa will be back before Carroll

Not for January, but Michael Carrick could be sold this summer http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/3365354/Michael-Carrick-is-free-to-leave-Manchester-United-in-the-summer.html For the right price, he'd be a fantastic signing.

quinn didnt look too upset in that interview. hope he does go, because itll take something major to derail their euro dreams.

Theres just something incredibly great about that photo.

bet beckham was honoured to sit so close. no wonder he's smiling. not many people make D-Beck nervous....
