I hope he steps on a lego brick barefoot.

I mean, I was pissed when I wrote that last post saying fuck him, but I didn't resort to calling him a drink driving, school shooting wrong 'un. Maybe next time I'll raise my game and call him a nonce or something.

Fuck him. As other have said, he's a less talented Anelka with all of the bad attitude, less of the talent and hamstrings made of wet tissue. He's an absolute parasite who wasted our time to get a deal to a 'big' club. Now he's got it, I look forward to him rotting in their reserves. His agent has made a nice little earner though. Main thing is - we can focus our effort on actually signing a decent striker now, rather than trying to engage with this time waster. Well played Eddie for pieing this cunt off.

There seems to have been a misunderstanding on others parts - not third choice through lack of quality - third choice through lack of availability.

Good striker, good lad, legs made of cheese. Should be our third choice striker as a nice problem to have when he's fit. Cannot be relied on to be fit, despite his best efforts. No fault of his own, but that's just the way it is.

If the lad spoke to any neutral about this, they would say that his agent is being a cunt. He must be aware of this, surely, the fact that he hadn't intervened or ditched his agent speaks volumes in itself. As someone else said, he's a less talented Anelka with wet tissue paper for hamstrings. No thanks. Hope the club formally announce that it's off to deter other publicity parasites.

I'd be extremely hesitant to sign someone who's playing stupid games and doesn't want to specifically come here. Not exactly likely to fit in to the culture Eddie has cultivated here.

Right, own up. Who is behind the Nun tumblers account?

Their finances are scadalous. I think they launder a huge amount through the Spanish Government where they buy things like their training facilities from the government at knock down prices.

I think it's been proven that FFP is only there to generate fines money for EUFA. The richest clubs are more than happy to pay their tithe to stay in Europe. If FFP had any effectiveness, Real Madrid and PSG would have been disbanded by now, but other than a few bribes, they've been left well alone. I say flash the cash, FFP is irrelevant.

Not a melt down, but I can almost hear the rolling of eyes in the background.

I really like the bit where he does loads of tricks, fools no one and ends up standing exactly where he started, but with the added bonus of the defence getting a chance to get set and mark his teammates before he gets the chance to pass. A great laugh for him, but if I was one of the coaches, I wouldn't be laughing, because that's exactly the sort of crap that he needs to get out of the habit of doing.

There is no way anyone thinks Wood is worth £10m now. Maybe £10.

Big upgrade on Darlow. I assume that him and Dubs will duke it out next season, with a top GK coming next summer and the winner between Dubs and Pope staying as no.2. If anything, it's competition, which I welcome. Welcome piece of business in my opinion.

Goes to show just how huge the jump is from youth to PL. Only the very, very best youth players become consistent 1st XI PL players. The vast majority end up sliding down the divisions.

He made collosal amounts of money from us. He trousered the TV money, got free advertising and sold the club for far more than he paid. His merge of club finances into MA Holdings was to obfuscate the fact that the income wasn't being reinvested into wages, transfer fees or infrastructure. In fact, he was saying that the money that did go to the club to run it was coming from his own pocket, which is true as long as you understand that all income was going direct into his pocket too. One of life's parasites. He's made a fortune out of buying cheap, bleeding dry and selling on, all without caring about the impact of what he does on anyone else. I hope he buys the m*ckems.

He's apocowank.

I really hope so. Hopefully a full pre-season with Eddie will turn him into a well rounded player rather than being told just to try and score a goal all by himself while everyone else parks the bus under Bruce. If he develops his team play, fitness and work ethic, which are all easy things to work on, he could be a really decent player for us going forward. Fingers crossed.

Hopefully the latter. Darlow is nowhere good enough to be our No.2. Woodman would have been an acceptable No.2, but he (completely understandably) wants to leave to become 1st choice somewhere else. We either sign another youngster with potential and take a risk or we sign an solid older keeper who is happy to take a big payday. The nuclear option is we sign a genuine top keeper and Dubs becomes No.2, but that seems very unlikely since our big outlays will probably be on a top striker and at least one decent winger.

I think if I were to put emotion aside and be utterly and totally even handed about this, after carefully considering all arguments put forward, I can assess Southgate's management of England thus: He is hyperwank.

Probably still would, like.

I can't say that I'm that saddened when I see footballers piss their millions away. I'd rather see support given to actual poor people first who struggle to put food on the table, not those that piss away sums of money that the vast majority of familes couldn't even comprehend.

Isn't the thread on here about 'arry titled 'Football's wrecking ball' or something? For that alone, he shouldn't be anywhere near the job.

I heard Southgate likes to piss all over the toilet seat in public toilets.

0-4. The Southgate Circlejerk is looking a bit shaky right now...
