Probably I'm being thick but does that say we had 432 cards ?? That's more than 10 for every league match played which clearly is impossible ! Please clarify (just out of interest!) ??

Personally I don't believe in the 'blame game' ! He played his part in our season of PL consolidation, having scored a few critical goals and with a couple of classy assists too, like most of the others he took time to adapt and was inconsistent but he showed that he has some quality and might well kick on next season, particularly if we sign a top striker to either complement or compete with him ! IMO he is a big asset who is much more likely to improve than regress but I suppose that only time will tell !

My daughter is married to an SA guy and lives in Cape Town ! They have a great lifestyle and (we go there every year) it really is pretty safe in my experience ! If you want to get in touch with her for proper advice then send me an PM !

A paltry 5, my 6 yr old grandson got 8 and he doesn't even live in the UK ! Grrr...

Is Cortese 'turning Japanese' ? He doesn't look out of place !

That's not 'two-tone', it looks like just a bad match of shorts and top ! I pray to the dear Lord that we do not end up with anything similar to this ! FFS, can we not just play in red/white stripes with black shorts like previous years ? Not asking too much, eh ????

RIP big Ron ! The word 'legend' is used too loosely these days but you were a true one !

Just for the record, Adidas do not 'manufacture' anything ! They are a sports 'brand' which buys from a few hundred manufacturers, mainly in Asia ! They design, develop and market many different products but do not actually own any factories ! I realise that I am being pedantic but (having been in the business for many years!) there is a big difference !

If this is the case then they are doing it all wrong ! Very few sales will be achieved on a kit which is widely known as becoming obsolete within weeks, if they had reduced them by a sizeable percentage prior to the season end when potential customers were around, they would have cleared old stocks, improved turnover speed and added some turnover ! "A 'mark up' is only a 'mark up' once the article is sold" is a fundamental retail principle and holding on to redundant stock is not a sensible option ! Having said all that, my guess is that it's the store buyers/managers who will be making those decisions rather than Cortese himself, but I could of course be wrong on that count !

I think that you're right in terms of his quality but at the age of 35 with a dodgy injury record there might not be many takers ! Anyway, good luck to him, I hope that the 4th division cloggers don't damage him for life !!

It's still £72 grand a year, which for playing football just above non league level is not at all bad ! When you consider that it is approximately 3 times the average wage in the country then he should be happy especially as he has the opportunity to get into coaching at the same time which will open new career opportunities for the future ! You would also expect that he has built up a significant pot in his better days as a premier league and international player !!

Of all the theories spouted on here, this strikes me as (far and away!) the most plausible ! Well put !

We love you Kathy, cos you're a Liebherr girl, We love you Kathy, cos you pay our bills, We love you Kathy, Markus through and through !! To the tune of 'We love you Freddie' (Arsenal version!)

I guess that the Cortese chant will be in full flow tomorrow now after the breaking news this morning !!!

Thank f#ck for that, he is not everybody's favourite person but we desperately did not need destabilisation at this stage !! Whoopee :)

Have turned on radio just to be sure, hope they've got it right ?

If pirces keep going up like this I'm going to need an ambukance myself

It's nothing personal, just that your opinions and postings come across as aggressive, negative and sometimes just plain stupid ! IMHO of course !

I agree, I once called him an arsehole, which I regret (was in a bad mood and his negativity niggled me!) basically he's not in the same league as the likes of Alpine and Barry Sanchez who go out of their way to be obnoxious !

8/10 - never heard of a f#cking gerund or a modifier ! I can live with most things but 'loose' instead of 'lose', 'should of' instead of 'should have' and 'are' instead of 'our' really drive me mad !!!

As with all your comments, Codger

My squiggle has been added, good luck and I hope it works out for you !

Do you honestly believe that there won't be any changes in the summer ??

I'm sure it's just a coincidence but Rooney has just put in a transfer request

Am always tapping with my fingers so I bought a set of bongos ! Have never used the bloody things since !
