If you're going to tell one, tell an old one.

I think they are desperate for him to go before any contest - then at least they can have a proper, adult leadership contest between two or three actual contenders - as you say I think there are some perfectly good candidates who could take on Boris or May (or Crabb, who I thought came across great on TV today). Once Corbyn is out, never again will leftie-loons be "loaned" votes to "broaden the contest" so at least we should be able to move forward with a proper leadership team, with all the decent able MPs back on the front bench taking the Tories on. Agree with you on Eagle - even as a stalking horse it's all a bit odd. She was awful in the Brexit debate on TV and even though she has served in the cabinet under Brown she's never made any impression on me. If we actually get to a JC vs AE contest, it's lose-lose. I'm not much of a Cameron fan, but enjoyed his gag earlier on in the week welcoming the new member for Tooting ("you'll be in the shadow cabinet by the end of the day") and his "For goodness sake man, go" was bang on. If JC stays on there will be weeks and weeks of mockery ahead - how can he possibly portray himself as a potential Prime Minister with the way he's behaved. The dustbin of history is beckoning old man Steptoe, let's hope it isn't too much longer.

I worry about the plughole in his shower.

While there might be nice rational and Les Reed-y reasons to let him go - his value never higher, his age, one year left - clearly we would be utterly freaking nuts to let him go. He's great, we love him (except Batman) and just for Christ's sake let's be seen to keep a player now and again. If all he wants from us is a one year extension give it him now now now now. Even a two year extension means we'd still get a fee next year. Do it. Don't be a p rick about it Les. I vote for Pelle to Remain.

Is £20m the new £10m? It's brilliant that all these available players are twice as good as the ones we were linked with last year.

I, for one, welcome our new robotic overlords.

If we'd done the transfer business that Leicester had done this time last year drips like you would have blubbering about lack of ambition all summer.

The glittering career of Lawrie Sanchez is enough for any club to run a mile from Northern Ireland managers. I think most people on here have been healthily underwhelmed by Puel - we can see his record. No one's swooning about him as Samuel claims. The only whiff-of-exotic swooning on here comes from the dins getting all wet over some hipster no-mark showing remarkable adeptness to relegate some two-bob club while barely scoring a goal a game.

The monogrammed tracksuits have been delivered to the house in Winchester.

JWP admitting he tapped up Redmond while they were on international duty there then. Utterly despicable. About time the FA came down like a ton of bricks on this kind of behaviour.

Dave Bassett?

Batsh it more like.

They've certainly not got any interest in being elected. That's only what careerist red tory Blairite scum would want.

What an utter helmet.

I'd take him over Puel. Would outclass Steve Bruce in managerial turncoatery. And may result in him being kneecapped.

If Boris calls one the Labour party will not be allowed to bottle it. Even they're not that stupid. What do you think their coup is about? Threat of early election.

And they will.

At long last we can replace Belmadi.

Just seen that. Dear me that's completely unnecessary. Especially as their pun headline doesn't even make sense. So, awful on all levels.

This. Les will probably do one of his many YouTube interviews where he tells us all that the signing is in the bag at the same time that Oxo is being driven up the M6.

The writer seems to be "Press Association". Which isn't a bad thing for its varacity. I will really try to be excited about this appointment but I don't think I can.

Took Fulham to the Europa final. Get him in. Les probably would stop him bringing Ray Lewington with him.

Always gets feisty when he's drunk. But speaks for us all.

I think four stars for them all is a bit generous. I thought they were all sh ite.

Come on Andy Murray.
