The9 will be genuinely chuffed for Lambert.

Buttner would be a good shout; could also be a very decent option at left-mid. Thought he was signing for a Turkish club though ( Besiktas?)

Cheats have still got twice as many season-ticket holders as Boscombe despite being two leagues below them.

Anyone can win a Cup; Bradford nearly managed it last season, and Wigan did.

Isn't CMFG in Cyprus?

That's that then. From memory, Blackmore is very rarely wrong on these things.

sfc1971 speaks for me.

Only if you let us know your Top 3 biscuits and crisps flavours.

I think we have one fairly regular female poster on there, it's not a hotbed of female activity in fairness.

I really like the Ugly. It's essentially a load of blokes taking the mickey with occasional football references. Have never understood why Nick gets a hard time on here, he's a top bloke and to the best of my knowledge has never been derogatory about this board.

I agree that we should be looking at players like Rhodes. We could probably throw in a few players in part-exchange (Hammond, De Ridder etc) which would reduce the fee, albeit possibly not by that much in truth.

It is a steal when you consider that BT Sport are charging £12 a month if you subscribe through SKY.

Interesting. Did you do this last season. and is it legal?

Que????!!!!??? Seriously, I really cannot believe this. You are virtually belittling your profession.

Christ, this is an all-time first. I completely agree with Manji.

Yup. The Ugly Inside was superb. I also really liked On The March, though I suppose the notoriety it got for the Branfoot cover probably didn't help it.

I would be astonished if he left Celtic to sign for Cardiff.

It would be harsh on Cork; he was a pretty key player last season.

I'm guessing the African Nations Cup is the year after next rather than this season. If it was this season, I'd be less keen on Wanyama.

So who comes out of the current team to make way for him? I'm not convinced this is a position that needs strengthening.

Whoever it was (Pilchards???) who gave the detailed report of Pardew's first training session at Saints whilst hiding up a tree. That was comedy gold and also a real service to us all. Superb. leftback was really good until he had to go.

Does this mean better quality online streams should be available to all?

If he's still with that Tulisa, then probably best avoided.

Darius Vassell. God, I remember our fans desperately hoping we would sign him a few years ago.

If he's at Saints at the start of the season, but still doing interviews in Spanish, it will make me wonder if he is in it for the long haul. He will have been here for 7 months by then, surely long enough to be able to conduct interviews in English.
