Oi!

I fucking left Podolski in as well as Luiz, silly sod. Really should have checked it last night . Ah well.

Only if someone doesn't play at all and it depends on the order of subs you set. He would be expected to be subbed on if Luiz doesn't play in the second game this week. Mint! Mignolet, Johnson and Toure. Almost makes up for Liverpool winning. Almost.

Sooooo...because I woke up late today I left Luiz in and Toure on the bench. Do they do the sub automatically?

Except that every single FF team in the world has Mignolet on it. No need to hurt my feelings, man. I was trying to spare your feelings - I know how sensitive a man you are.

Yeah, forgot what I hated about FF. I've got almost entirely detestable players in my team.

That's absolutely brilliant. Thank you for finding it.

Yep. Southampton and Middlesbrough's academy players have consistently been recognized at U-21 level, for example.

Both are s*** tbh. I can't remember ever scoring a goal/assisting without wanting to celebrate with the relevant team-mate, unless we were doing the grab-the-ball-and-restart-sharpish thing.

A very good one.

Well BMJ and AVB are certainly not excuses guys, and Ramos didn't really speak enough to come up with any excuses. His main one was that his players hadn't had enough time to gel ("2 points after 8 games"), which was probably fair enough. But then there's 'arry. Nothing quite as absurd as training ground spies or fantasy congestion, but he was a fairly regular "this isn't an excuse, but" kinda guy. Just rather more plausible than Pardew. Plus his team generally did well, so his were usually pre-emptive and actually not needed.

Not read much of the thread, but it's scary that there are already 17 pages. Is that last excuse actually true? That's spectacular.

Like we needed the advice I did wonder what your defence would be though, Brummie. How do you expect to line up?

Yeah. Think this is a pretty decent format. This is my first go for years. My first was the 90 Minutes magazine one (for the middle-aged out there), and I was doing really well, but stopped because I thought it corrupted me as a supporter - smarmy prick that I was. I've only done a couple since - the best one was some time around 2000 or so (Henry, Pires etc) when we used a boardroom at work for an auction before the season. Can't remember the website running it, but it was ace - we all chipped in and they sent an auctioneer.

Bony on the bench ? Hmm id have him in a front 3 Nope, no clues . Far too little disinformation on here. Might start talking about Naughton starting at RB.

Soldado will without a shadow of a doubt. 2nd one is a little more difficult, can't really say. Nice one, Mole. Haven't followed Spurs' pre-season, and for some funny reason managers can have a habit of not dropping the established stalwart in favour of the new superstar (like with Lloris last season for instance). That was a very different situation. Lloris signed on Aug 31st, so hadn't had any training with us - and Friedel had already played some games. In addition, it's clear that AVB has consolidated his power base with us, and now has far more influence on incoming transfers. I'm sure Soldado's his man. Just scored a hat-trick in a closed-doors friendly (against a really shit team, tbf), and I fully expect him to play from day one. Worth keeping an eye on our game against Espanol this week to see who plays.

9.5M. Trying to crowbar him in as we speak.

I really can't make up my mind about the Suarez thing. On the one hand, he's a total cunt so hopefully people will learn to hate Arsenal a bit more, it will piss off Liverpool no end and he's missing a few games. On the other, he's really good and I don't want good players at Arsenal, obviously.

I really hope so, but no, I can't see it.

Oh he's supposed to be training with us, the funny thing is that some random made up a tweet about him playing for us and scoring and the Metro printed it as news. I mean, Can't control scoring two goals? Surely that was a giveaway.

Don't, man, I'm still a teensy bit worried it's true .

He's some bullshitter who apparently used to be a member on a Spurs site. It was an 11-0 friendly - Soldado 3, Sigurdsson 3, Townsend 2, Kane 2, Lennon. Not a Cole in sight. Fairly classy wumming, it seems (he says, slightly nervously).

I know he's supposed to be training with us for fitness, but apparently the Cole thing was a twitter WUM that Metro lapped up .

Overpaid definitely but to get good players they are going to have to do that without CL to attract. Expect many more overpriced deals if Bale is sold. This. Right now, it's the amount we have to pay to get a striker better than those we already have.
