Please bother mate; you're one of the few people that keep me looking at this board!

I was there when Pele scored....

Poor trolling, even by your low standards. Are there not 85 minutes to go? Fool.

Played up at Eastleigh a few weeks back but haven't heard anything about him since. Imagine he will be looking for at least a loan.

Suspension completed last game of last season I believe.

Sorry, should have made myself clearer; why is the poster so certain that there is "no way in hell" Shaw will play v WBA?

Why are you so certain?

The huge irony is that here we have somebody who has already earned more than most of us earn in a lifetime and yet if he is proven guilty we, the taxpayer, are going to be paying for his upkeep over the next few years. Mad.... PS - that tatoo; what a total moron...

Too many trolls with a sad obsessive compulsive desire to spend most of each day on this planet behind a keyboard either slagging other people off or being hugely, pathetically annoying. If there were a forum with S-Clarke and a handful of others debating meaningfully I would be on it in a flash. The trolls have won here; time to leave them to their petty squabbling and move on.

Sorry, where did I say I believed it?!

Somebody somewhere said Astori is flying over to sign this weekend, but not sure how reliable the information is (he's between international matches this Saturday).

I would imagine (though I don't know for sure) that since the Adidas contract starts on June 1st (tomorrow), any Umbro stock would have to be removed and returned / destroyed / given away. Can't imagine Adidas being too chuffed if we sold old Umbro kits with them having just started a contract with us. Could be wrong, but seems a logical explanation.

Do you happen to remember what name he went by on here?

It really is isn't it?! It's like an argument between 3 designers and with none of them allowed to get their own way their boss made them compromise by making a shirt with a bit of each of their designs. Hideous!

I probably shouldn't, but I do really like that.

9/10 - grammar guru ;-)

QPR 1 Newcastle 2

Stoke 1 Spurs 2

Well Charlie Adam won't be playing against us next Sunday - 2 yellows against Spurs and he's off.

Posted this on the "Are we safe" thread, but thought it might be useful here too: If all results - ours and the teams around us - between now and the final week (week, not weekend - Arsenal v Wigan is in the final week, on the 14th May) go against us, assuming a reasonable level of goals scored and goals conceded, we would go into the last 7 days of the season (one game for all except Wigan, who have two) in 17th place, 1 point and several goals better off than Wigan. However, bear in mind that the above includes: Villa beating Chelsea; Norwich beating WBA; Newcastle winning at QPR (they have not won in London all season); Sunderland winning against Stoke and us; Wigan beating Swansea; Stoke beating Spurs. If you reverse each one of the results above (in the order shown, and with only that specific result being reversed), we would go into the last week: - 17th (one point above Wigan) - 16th (one point above both Wigan in 17th and Norwich in 18th, with a better goal difference than both - Norwich would then have to beat Man City away to go above us) - 16th (one point above both Wigan in 17th and Newcastle in 18th with a better goal difference than both -Newcastle would have to beat Arsenal at home to go above us) - 17th (one point above Wigan) - 17th ( 4 points above Wigan with a better goal difference; Wigan would have to beat both Arsenal (away) and Villa (home) - 17th (1 point above Wigan with a better goal difference) A little crude and a little arbitrary, I know, and any combination of the above could of course happen - i.e. both Norwich and Newcastle losing for example - but it would seem to indicate that the Norwich v WBA and / or QPR v Newcastle games are key ones to watch IF the worst case scenario of us not getting another point at all were to come to pass. All hypothetical of course, but I would say the odds are still firmly in our favour, and, most important, that our destiny - even assuming the very worst case imaginable - would still be in our hands going into the last week (assuming Arsenal beat Wigan of course....;-))
