As soon as Adam Johnson becomes available, Redknapp will dump Bentley and dos Santos as fast as he can (if he isn't already). Liverpool would probably be in there too.

I don't think Hughton would be a success anywhere other than here tbh. Although he's clearly the right man for us at the moment. He should get a 2 year extension.

Either. Both. Anything......it'd just be a great to have a football daily in england.

Would be incredible if true. But theres no need to rush him back - yet. even if he's ready by the end of january, i'd wait until mid-february to bring him back.

to be honest, if England had came second in the race I don't think there'd be much of a problem. but the way thursday happened showed clear corruption and how rotten to the core FIFA is. for the record, USA and australia have every right to feel aggrieved too.

Thought it would've been better than that, the way Le Tiss went on.

People need to stop bumping quotes from months and years ago. Clearly, things happen and our opinions change due to these. EDIT: not a pop at you zolton, just its been happening all over this place lately.

No way would I give a penalty for that.

There. Much better

would really like stoke to get a winner here....

don't think Nasri or Jesus Christ would be interested, really.

awwww man i dont want to wait til MOTD to see that. whatever it was.

Mulumbu isn't playing and if Brunt or Odemwingie don't make it, I think we really should win this. Barton is back and Carroll will have a field day against that defence.

2-0 Blackburn

So I brought in two players that arent playing this weekend, almost brought is Nasri instead of Nani, Tevez has scored and I subbed Etherington to accomodate Nani. Awesome! Still time for Malouda to score too.

Stoke! BOOOOOOOOM

For once, the scores are going alright (so far!). Fulham, Birmingham and Wigan losing. Lets hope Big Sam can do something right today.....

The more I think about loaning Vela, the more I like it. Realistic, nice wages and a very good young talent that can work well with Carroll. Lets go for it

that's a good quote. i feel exactly the same.

can't believe we're turning our noses up at SWP. ok maybe he's frustrating and hasn't cut it at international level, but that is still above where we're currently at. we've only just got one player back in the squad! keane would be great on loan but once harry mentions "the highest fee", we're out of the race.

Things are starting to kick off now, which is great. FIFA shouldn't get away with this and I hope they rot. Hopefully by the time 2026 bidding begins, Blatter will be gone and some sane person might let Europe have 2026. Although England still shouldn't go for it, because FIFA will still be a corrupt and pathetic organisation.

Based on absolutely nothing, I think he'd do OK for us at the minute. Better than Lovenkrands and Xisco, for me its between Best and Ranger to displace Ameobi. Despite not scoring for us last season, i think he's capable of 4 or 5 goals.

Yeah I'd already done the changes by then. Hopefully they'll keep up their form though!

IN: Nani + Adam OUT: Malouda + Routledge Carroll replaces Tevez as captain.

15th-17th hopefully. Successful season, then.
