Success for me would be for us to play entertaining football that makes me look forward to watching a game on a weekend. Oh and to finish in a European spot every other season would be nice. To win a trophy would be cool as well, but I can't see us doing that any time soon. Not even long term.

It's not just football teams in leagues either btw. It's anyone who's bottom of the pile. It's commonly used (and actually used to be contested over) in the Tour de France. Cool story.

Cutting his hair shorter for the warmer weather in Milan iyam

Chelsea fans are the worst. Obnoxious and spoilt.

I wouldn't sell Krul for £25m, like. He can be our goalkeeper for the next 10-15 years, and having someone, who in all likelihood is going to be a world class keeper, for that long is worth more than £25m.

Sergi Roberto is great. I would get on that in an instant. He's a little different to our other midfielders from what I've seen.

Pass completion stats are a far better indication of better football than the amount of long passes per game. Hell, Barcelona play as many long balls per game as West Ham do, so it's not a great comparison.

It's passes that are 35 yards or longer I think. Might be 25 yards in fact.

It's true, like. We haven't been overly direct on a consistent basis since Stoke away. Negative and turgid, yes. But overly direct all the time? I think not.

I'd actually have left back cover as our third priority behind a centre half and a forward, so I can't see any issues with it supposedly 'not being what we need'. Especially if it's only going to set us back a couple of million.

De Jong has looked really good in the few Ajax CL games I've watched this season .

capitalism is the bane of my life

The FA have just appointed Olly Murs as an ambassador to mark 150 years of the FA

Someone who's not a crock and has been playing well recently. As I'd always want. Was never really all that enthused about Remy. And I'm not just saying that because of recent developments before anyone thinks.

I'd be absolutely disgusted if we went back in for him in the Summer, like.

Fucking hell. Choosing a team that will almost definitely be relegated. What a moron. Pleased we aren't signing him.

The media will be absolutely desperate for him to choose Redknapp over us. They'll be doing all they can to help their mate.

Not too confident about how those talks with HBA and our entirely unambitious board are going to go.

Imagine if everything you touched actually transformed into shit. That'd be bad, man.

“I haven’t got another striker who I think is at the level that there should be at this football club.” So he doesn't actually rate Shola then. Thank god.

is the tapping up of players actually punishable?

Look at Ba actually passing to his teammates

Nowhere near as shit as Williamson.
