Their fans kicking off on each other already, drop kicks flying and everything.

Didn't cost us anything, so even if he turned out sh*t it wouldn't have made too much difference.

I can't picture him playing another minute of professional football to be honest.

Exactly this.

Ah right, didn't know that. Still £2million a year seems very cheap for something like that.

Yep £15million, absolute joke. If they wanted it they should have had to pay the full cost themselves, it's what everyone else does.

All the reports seem to liken him to Lambert, which is definitely exciting.

I like that he talks about challenging for a place even after this summer. There are some people on this forum who will be saying we should get rid if he isn't first choice by then.

Posted this in another forum... 1. Why would they leave a fantastic stadium (not even like it's a sh*thole, it still looks good) for a ground that it will be difficult to generate an atmosphere in? 2. Why are they using £60million of tax payers money to help them for f*cks sake!!! Looking at it, the best thing to do would be to dig the pitch further down so you can have more stands at the front (also that way you can have flat stands parallel to the pitch rather than curved all the way). Whether that's what will happen is another story, but for the best part of £200million it's what I'd be expecting.

But of course if you'd turned out to be wrong, you'd have just been "making it up for a laugh" ala the Guly 15 minute contract clause. Oh, OK then. Why would he just make it up?

I would much rather let the club decide, considering we all know hardly anything about him.

Got an email today about corporate areas, and the most expensive one was £3200 for a box, food, drink and bevvies, and a show after the game with a player interview and the chance to win some signed memorabilia. 10 people per box...is it just me, or does £320 PP seem extremely steep for what's on offer? No mention of it being all you can eat or open bar, either.

The more I think about it, the more the idea of traveling on an exact replica freaks me out a bit. I know it affected a lot of people, but I don't see why it would be tasteless...no different in my mind to some of the things they do in Normandy, recreating trenches, bunkers etc. and charging people to come in and "imagine you were really there"...

People commenting on announcements from party pages.

And for every one person in that bracket, there is a youngster sitting around on JSA, perhaps claiming child benefits. Is the free bus pass JUST for retired people or for everyone over the age of 60?

This I haven't played in about 5 years, except little kick abouts. Edit, how early in the morning are we talking here?

To be honest the bits I've seen all looked pretty positive. Still got people raging on my facebook news feed, although that is to be expected...it's as if people want a government that will deliver a utopian society. Ain't gonna happen.

He's drafted them in because we have so many players away on internationals, that's all.

I saw he'd edited a post, what did he say?

I think he's just grounded... "There's no point in me cleaning my room because the next day it's just back to the same old mess "

It's funny how some people get so wound up when they're wrong.

Scotland is welcome to you. Jesus f*cking christ.

I'd imagine there isn't a team in the country that wouldn't like to sign him if they could.

You do realise that should Wigan win their other game in hand, West Ham will be 3 points (a one game swing) above the relegation zone?
