he does seem to be dragging his feet over joining Celtic permanently, not that I blame him

Like Hatem Ben Arfa with their chairman and his daily press soap? And Ben Arfa boarding a plane to check the place out for himself well before anything was signed, sealed and delivered? Didn't exactly stop us from doing business with them? That was a pretty unique situation. Also, he came on loan. There wasn't much risk involved for us. the loan was just to give us more time to wear them down in negotiations I think. We did sign him at quite high risk at the time while he had a double leg fracture. That was a daft summer mind

Could be worse, my fathers managed to miss every tournament final in the last decade because my mother managed to schedule to leave to go on holiday on the day of the final so he was usually somewhere in the sky when it was on while I was busy laughing at him.

Always excited before a tournement gets going and doubly so this time because Irelands actually in it for once, gonna be great

theres only the minor facts that Abramovich has never hired a british manager and has an obsession with Guardiola standing in the way of that thought

as far as I can tell they're in decent state financially so he should have some cash to spend and given the way he basically rebuilt the Birmingham and some of his signings here hes got a decent eye for a player

be a good job at a good club

Damian Spellman ‏@DamianSpellman Croatia dangerman Ivica Olic ruled out of Euro 2012 with a thigh injury, replaced by Nikola Kalinic.

Not Jamie Redknapp ‏@LiterallyJamie Breaking; After his humiliating beating in Liverpool, Joey Barton earns shock England call up.

How has he gotten in there? Really Kelly is the best that can be summoned out of all the English players

revolting

Pete O'Rourke ‏@SkySportsPeteO Sky Sports sources understands West Ham have made a £4million bid for Norwich striker Grant Holt. More on site soon... so typically short sighted of Hippo Head

really is odd that because he is consistently awesome for Ireland and it baffles me how he can put in those kind of performances but not for his club, has to be management surely because its not like Ireland have this fantastic midfield in front of him

20m is quite the bargain imho considering how shite man u's midfield is

Step up Mike Williamson

so fucks off and leaves norwich in the shit and the moment a better offer comes in he'll fuck off and leave Villa in the shit, not impressed with the way he's conducted himself over this

well it worked last time (though it didn't seem like that at the time)

they did but 6 month deal obviously with the hope he'd renew if he did well

Right my bet of the evening, a league of Ireland special Drogheda, Sligo Rovers, Bray Wanderers, Derry City, St Pats, Finn Harps Waterford United, odds around 55-1

so Abramovich is back then lovely........... can we not just form a break away league where people aren't allowed that type of owner?

its how many days until he leaves us

Knew there was a reason I liked JFK

well they are leap of faiths but Villa's one is less of a leap imho, lower expectations so Lambert will have time to impliment his long term plan and unless he morphs into some strange fusion of Sam Allerdyce Tony Pulis and Alex McLeish in football terms the crowd should be on his side by default. Liverpool however have taken a gamble and a half, they sacked a Liverpool legend after he won a trophy and got to the final of the other trophy he was in but failed to get cl football so unless Rogers performs some sort of miracle he's going to get sacked

bye bye Swansea
