So far it's been confirmed he apparently spoke to Ben Arfa last week and he is "running with the ball and starting to feel good", Mehdi himself is happy to "defend or attack", but alarmingly, doesn't seem to have heard of Greggs. What a scoop.

Detailed reccy going on right now on Facebook.

Balotelli, man. Pure, mental entertainment.

Just assessed the damage of this. Was going well up until January, was even top 10 for a while I think in the N-O league, but paid the price for checking my team less and less. Ended up with a fairly mediocre total. Although amusingly the lad (Mackem, as it is) I was having a bet with kept changing his players loads and ended 150-200 points behind me.

He's regularly reckless but he gets away with an awful lot. Still, probably worth a few quid.

You actually did sign up to WH? Vidic red card is a good call. Or at least to get booked. Odds?

I've given up, if you count not having a bet for 4 days as giving up.

Coleman, otherwise known as Seamus "available on a Bosman, as long as you ignore the fact he signed a long-term contract a few months ago" Coleman.

"Lorient's French international Kevin Gameiro is also on Wenger's list of potential strikers." Aaaarrrrrrrrgggggggggg! Not your lot n'all. You do realise the world and his wife have been linked to Gameiro, right?

Wind your neck in Roberto. You have a shite team with a couple of good players.

The long-term injury to Dann was a key reason in their relegation. Johnson hasn't looked the same since his defensive partner got crocked.

Tell whoever you're hearing the rumours from that they don't have a clue, as he's already moved.

Instead, you're now after someone who sounds like Boyd.

I don't see why it's such a bad move, providing there is a better quality striker on the way as well. You've scuppered our Galactico signing, though.

£1bn all together. Bloody mind-boggling figure.

It's very early days with both of them, both only recently turned 17. Hope's done well for the England U17s (following a similarly successful path Ross Barkley went down last year IIRC). Lundstram was the Academy Player of the Year last year I think, good passer and sharp tackler. As I say, extremely early days but will be interesting to see how they go over the next 12 months. Strangely, we won the U18s Academy League final against Fulham last week without both of them, as they were both playing for England.

Aye, as I've said, he's an important player for them. Technically shite but offers an invaluable shift pretty much every game. Would be unwise to drop him.

Blackpool were class for entertainment value and it's a real shame they went down IMO. But the table doesn't lie and they deserved to. Some of their attempts at defending were first-class entertainment - for the other side.

Sigged just in case, NSL.

Fuckin hell that'd be insane. Xavi, Iniesta, Aguero, Villa and Messi as your front 5. Sounds amazing, though I'd question whether Villa deserves to be ahead of Pedro. Tbh, I think the whole squad need a big rest this summer.

Beckford reached 10 for the season. Predicted that at the start of the season and he should have more. He has missed some glaring opportunities so I hope we don't rely on him as our main striker next year, but considering he's never played in the Championship never mind PL before this year, I think there's a player there. It's no fluke he continually gets himself into good goalscoring positions, so although he has been frustrating, I'd keep him. Statistically, I imagine he has one of the better goals-minutes ratios. About half of his appearances have been off the bench with not much time left.

Ask him if he likes the name Gotham Town.

Kaiz. :lol:
