The game starts in 50 minutes Cheers Goran but just some kind of hint of football coming up would have sorted me out. Instead I've had to put up with a lot Germans smiling and shaking their heads a lot

What are you guys getting at the moment? Because I've had fifteen minutes of hair commercials

Err lads, someone want to send me over a direct link. I've been watching something about advertising then trams for the last five mins

Hope Tav gets a proper run out and Simpson gets a few splinters. Want to see Abeid get a lot of game time too to see how he's coming on Along with that, Marveaux and Ferguson should be getting as much time on the pitch as possible HTL

Definitely, they have a fair amount of pace and skill in the side. Shouldn't have any problems, especially with Adkins at the helm

I reckon it's highly unlikely. The only chance of it happening would be if the price was sub 7/8 mill. The major problem with Carroll is that he doesn't have the technical ability that we're currently looking for in all our transfer targets. He can/will be a very good player if allowed to play his game in the right team but that team is no longer us

He is a disgusting, fat grinder who picks up undeserved points but I was one of the few/many (I can't remember what the consensus was at the time) that thought he would have taken us down had Keegan not taken over

West Ham, terrible squad. Their strikeforce is abysmal and I can see Vaz te being shite in the PL QPR, appalling squad. Just packed out with aged, past-it players and people who aren't up to the PL Swansea, people are kidding themselves if they thought Swansea were a good team last year. I know a lot of people on here didn't rate them and rightly so. They kept the ball a lot but over 30% of their possession was probably in their own half. I'd say they're currently a Joe Allen/Nathan Dyer transfer from being definite relegation fodder

He really is such a twat. I used to think 'it's a bit sad all the injuries he's had and how much of an effect it must have had on his career' but the way he handles himself, his arrogance and his delusion is painful. To think that since 2005 he's played only 100 professional matches is shocking. He's had injuries but it's the decision making that has ruined his career.

We do get great money for our players. The only team that sells better is Tottenham. I have absolutely no idea what Levy does but their transfer dealings are immense

We've had two exceptional transfer trollers in Hughton and Pardew. Different styles but both have excellent technique

You cant beat an Equipe title change. Allez Debuchy

Simpson's a poster boy for not signing up to twitter as a celeb/footballer.

Not sure Danny "where's my England squad number" Simpson would like the sound of backup

Perfect Yao usage

Blatter.... Fifa....

No, I agree with you Mole. I would have been really disappointed if we'd been in for him. He misses a lot of easy chances and only now and again does something impressive

Super average signing, nowhere near as good a striker as Pogreb

Must be feeling pretty sick if you're a die hard supporter of any other French team. Ugly stuff from PSG in this window

That squad is shocking

If he does, it says all you need to know about him. Not the sort of player I'd want at the club if he goes ahead with that

Certainly, the Europa League + league with this squad would mean either knocked out in the groups straight away (provided we qualify) and finish in the league anywhere between 6-14th), or go a long way in the Europa League and finish in the league below 12th. Not ideal

Best is definitely the biggest loss. We're a little too light on the goals front in our squad. Haven't looked at the stats but if you took out Ba and Cisse from our team, we must have been pretty close to the bottom of the goalscoring table last season. Evidently, if you take out the top two scorers from most teams it will have a huge effect but on us perhaps more so than others

I hope we stamp on these. Need some life to this pre-season campaign which is sorely lacking
