When you consider the best Championship goalies are Carson, Kenny, Basso and Westwood.....Harper's more than good enough for this league.

Hreidarsson signs a new deal with Pompey. Would have loved to get him here

no chance he's off to the mackems. he's one of the few we've had that seem loyal and wouldn't want to harm his "cult hero" status. thats the problem with being a local newspaper - with only one team, a slow day has plenty of stories like this.

Bramble was given plenty of chances - was just unable to cut out the lapses in concentration during his time here, usually at crucial moments. He stayed the duration of his 5 year contract and was released as a free agent - hardly like he was run out of the club after a few bad games! the "weren't given a chance" referred to rossi, orr and the caldwells. i agree bramble got plenty of chances and generally messed them up. i'd have him back now though, thats how bad things are!

Bramble, Boumsong, Rossi, the Caldwells, Orr, Tomasson and to a lesser extent Milner, Jenas and Parker. Were all "shit" for us/weren't given the chance, and now look at them. Theres something wrong about this club.

I think this indicates the departure of Mascherano/Alonso or even both. What a knob end Rafa is. You don't win the league by selling players like those two but spunking 18m on a full back. Reminds me of this http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/sport/sport-headlines/benitez-handed-%A320m-to-piss-straight-up-a-wall-200905211777/ Oh and poor Gareth Barry seeing Rafa refuse to spend that figure on him, then spending it on a striker he didn't actually rate, then a year later doing it again on a bog standard, average full back. that daily mash website is hilarious. just read the darren fletcher article

this might be the first footy top i'll buy in years. i really really really really REALLY love it. and its better than that disgusting home shirt by a country mile!

why ? are reading going to spend it on alan smith ? we can always hope!! haha i just naturally think its good news when promotion rivals sell their best players.

wolves are said to have met kevin doyle's £6.5million release clause. great news for us!! http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11661_5395443,00.html

FINALLY a nice newcastle kit. theres not been one for a while now (especially the minging home kits). its a shame i wont be buying

Moyes + money = dangerous. i'd love them to break into the top 4.

Reports came out a few weeks ago saying Everton were likely to be the next team bought out, so it'd make sense. I wonder what our resident Evertonians think....

http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11661_5394826,00.html Any ideas?? Surely there aren't many teams available....

did they not mean 12m just for martins and coloccini???

That book is hilarious!!! you look at his goals record for us and the statistic that according to Prozone "Michael was in the top 3 players for work rate and distance covered" for April.......yet he was still shit. totally anonymous. that screams "headless chicken" - because for all that running. not once did he trouble goalkeepers. some of those pages were uncomfortably cringeworthy though haha. what a joke!

if ESPN do buy the rights, which channel would the games be on?? ESPN Classic??

distraught that we've missed out on jordi gomez. and leicester have been bidding for simon cox (but wont meet the £2.5million asking price).......argh hurry up and appoint shearer!!!

your optimism is a beautiful thing

i'd possibly rule arsenal out if they get vermaelen. and if its spurs, im sure martin jol will reveal all. reckon its between villa (to replace laursen) and everton (to replace lescott).....or possibly man city *fingers crossed*.

beautiful lyon away kit!!

They were together for 2 days at the very most.....

yeh reading released him, as well as murty and hahnemann

for that money you could get cox, lita, beckford and possibly some left over.

I'd like Steve Clarke to get a chance. If its true that he was calling a lot of the shots at Chelsea, it shows how highly he's rated. he's just waiting for the opportunity. (only if shearer and ferguson dont work out though!!)

having a statue so soon after his retirement hardly helps our reputation. especially if he stays as manager.
