I think most people don't care, but the point I think is that there is a perception that within the football circle there would be those that wouldn't be supportive, so people feel the need to hide themselves. So by showing that footballers don't actually give a f**k, like the rest of us, it should help others be themselves. Just my hypothesis anyway.

She is bang on trend bruv!

Good. Pay for it or got to the match like the rest of us.

I would use my Californian Zinfandel line again, but you actually can enjoy a lovely Sonoma Valley Zinfandel without the import tax (p.s. if you can ship me some over I'd be vv happy, thanks)

thanks Les. Now go pour a nice Californian Zinfandel and sign a couple of players, ta.

Totally agree - window should be from May to end of July. I say May as it's fairly clear by then if a player wants to move or a club wants to sell a player. Also, kill the winter window (except for loans).

Yep, let's get some romanticism back in the game - bring them both back in some capacity.

The one ex-Saint (apart from Bale) that I'd love to see rejoin Saints as I think he still has something to offer and has been chronically underused by Arsenal - he'd definitely up our goals for tally. Realistically, he isn't going to take a pay cut to come back you'd think.

Like. Although one thing I find irritating is that this drags on in the season - wish they'd shut the f**king window before the first match.

Gerrard (and Henderson) also share the same agent as Van Dijk ...

Bellend, now we'll be bottom, what have you done?

I'd love to see this match as a £5 match, kids £1. I can't see them doing it, but it won't even be half full given we have so many home games ... Edit - Just seen JRM's post, agree! They could charge £40 for Blackburn vs Burnley and it'll fill up

This for me, although one of Long or Austin not on the bench and Hojbjerg or Targett in.

Please please can it be against Liverpool this time, having beaten Man Utd in the semi

Ah thanks, the League Cup! Sigh!

What the f*** is the carabao cup??

Redslo, interesting blog post, I think it can summarised as "football fans are fickle". If you've never watched the film, I.D., watch it - there is a piece in it that is referred to a lot about Jerry Edwards. I found a clip, dreadful quality but here you go;

Hughes, possibly. I just think that if he was that good, he'd have gone to a "big club" (sigh) before now. We'll see. Cleverley though, is probably THE most boring footballer of all time ...

Those players all shout 'mid-lower table, but safe and dull' to me.

Exactly, 100% this. The whole Van Dijk situation reminds me of dealing with my 3 year son. I wonder if Van Dijk also wants Paw Patrol on the TV in the dressing room "but they have Paw Patrol on at Liverpool", "I don't care what they do at Liverpool, you are here and this is what we do"

The transfer list! I'd forgotten about that ... wonder if it still a thing or not? I guess agents have stepped in more now - as a player you're probably told if you're in the plans for the season or not and if not, your agent touts you around?

I think Comolli works for French TV, not sure if that is why he was there or if he's also an agent?

It made me chuckle!
