I hope Gosling steps up next season, he looked good at Everton but has been dissapointing coming back from his injury.

On the bright side the fact were not anywhere near being favourites will ease the pressure off us.

Xisco's gotta be up there. 45 k (iirc) and offered almost literally nothing.

I'd say Sweden are more likely to get out of that group than us tbh. We have a pretty terrible record against them aswell.

Why the fuck Sky think Phil Browns opinion on football is worth an interview is beyond me.

Good luck to him, he was a good player for us and helped us out a lot. Also, as people have said I have nothing against him wanting first team football and i hope he gets it. He will do a good job for any club he joins.

He's going to need money and time to get that shower of shite playing good football in his way. And he has neither.

That kit is gorgeous.

I don't know whether it's funnier they think Santons s*** or funnier that they think Richardsons better

There's no one I want to see go. If Forsters going (which is very likely) we need a decent back up keeper. Also i'd like to see Obertan and Gosling go on loan for half a season, or even more.

There at a ground in Shildon for 25 grand a year. The EvoStik premier league (iirc) is the best they can hope for now. I had a season ticket for about 6 years for Darllo when I was a kid, so its a shame to see them go under

Barry on for Gerrard.

I read that, looked up and saw Parker lay off Gerrard with a 3 yard pass and Gerrard boot it about 60 yards

That was a good goal.

Downing 22?

Fucking Downing, we'd have been better off with Shola on the wing.

There's a lot of sense in Carroll being in the squad, especially giving his form was on the up at the end of the season. Downing's inclusion is a joke though.

10 million is half of the money they have to spend, they might struggle to pick up Llorente with the rest.

Class, with just a hint of racism.

Great, first of many with any luck.

Missed that, didn't even notice there was a rumour thread.

We are going for 17 year old Hartlepool player Luke James according to SSN

Toivonen? Moussa Sow? Debuchy? Milner? Really? They will get Karl Henry and they will love it.

To be fair to Simpson he's right, mind I don't know were he thinks he should be in the England set up but he's deluded if he thinks he's good enough. Why Richards isn't picked is baffling, there's obviously something wrong there.
