So when you complain about the labour administration to 2005 being "Tory-lite you might as well vote for the Tories" you don't really know who you mean or what you mean? Clear.

It's not about players actually going on strike but managing the situation. Lallana was not going to stay. Ditto Lovren. It was a year ago and we did better last season anyway. When do you think you might be able to start getting over it instead of mentioning it every single day. Every single day.

Do you think you could everton giverton us some goodison suggestivertons of clubs that haverton followed this policy?

This is a thread about the sale of Victor Wanyama.

City, United and Chelsea are facing the looming spectre of Leicester City winning the league. They're, like, top and everything.

The fact that you are "afraid" we are not going to start paying wages on a par with Manchester United is what I think is particularly brilliant. Well done on saying it not once but twice within two posts.

Brilliant.

European Super League is clearly not going to happen any time soon. For example, NBC have just signed up to show the Premier League as is until 2022. Also, how would a multi-billion dollar global franchise European Super League actually prevent "money ruining sport"?

Bless.

The man who has so many taps to his name they call him Ronald "The Plumber" Koeman would be in a world of pain if they started clamping down on it.

We don't "have to sell" for running costs. Which bit of Victor Wanyama saying he wants to leave have you not understood?

We're not going to become an elite club.

It reads like he just doesn't want to sign a contract extension. I never thought he would so that's fine. Sold next summer, I think. So no change to what kits expected to happen anyway.

Is that the made up radio station he is a regular guest on?

Except it looks like he doesn't.

Once Les says stuff like that, it means players must agitate for a move. He will have to put in a transfer request, which will cost him money. If he starts being a di ck then we might end up selling him. But Iets see if anyone gets close to a valuation because I'm not convinced.

We'd expect £20m for him, and if it is Spurs who are interested they won't pay it. If he's going to go for £15m then that will have to be next year.

All that tapping up that Koeman did looks like it is finally going to pay off then.

Well the names I mentioned was the cabinet - the people who actually were the government. So was that government "Tory-lite" or not? Yes or no? And you're now saying you support David Miliband, pretty much the poster boy of next generation New Labour, a Blair protégé and centrist social democrat who also supported the war in Iraq. So you like him, so I'll assume your Tory-lite smear doesn't apply to him. So my question is, can you please name the members of the government between 1997-2005 in influential positions to the right of David Miliband that cause you to dismiss the entire administration as "Tory-lite".

No.

He's absolutely petrified of winning. A lovely little student debate he thought he was having has completely spiralled out of control.

Err, okay. So yesterday you dismissed the 1997 Labour administration as "Tory-lite you might as well vote for the Tories" despite containing world famous Tories like Margaret Beckett, David Blunkett, Robin Cook, John Prescott, Frank Dobson, Claire Short, Frank Field and so on. One big old Thatcher fan club. But today you're saying Ed was the wrong choice compared to David Miliband because Ed was the choice of the unions. Bizarre.

If the club thought Gallagher and Reed were good enough to be front line players then we wouldn't sign others to "push them down the pecking order". That is the entire point of the academy. It's pretty obvious that Gallagher is not good enough and probably won't ever be. Reed I thought was going to come through this season but I expect the club aren't quite seeing it yet. We're not in League One any more, and players like Shaw will continue to be the exception - he is the only one of our youngsters who has come through in the Premier League for us since Wayne Bridge. It's rare.

Do tell us. The "world and his mother" thought he was the wrong choice because....?
