Oh goody, another thread where everyone moans about our lack of chants instead of actually coming up with anything themselves. Fwiw, the best option would be "Clyne, Clyne will tear you apart again". IMO of course.

I think the answer is that Adkins rates him, and I think he's right to do so.

Final result aside, by your logic there are plenty of countries who shouldn't bother entering any events as they never actually get anywhere? Personally I think the idea of representing your nation in the Olympics would be the absolute pinnacle of athletic sport (although obvious not the likes of football).

They're showing every second of every event, if you don't want to watch the football press the red button, change the channel or turn the TV off and go play outside in the sunshine.

No-ones forcing you to watch any of it. I live in Weymouth which has the sailing events, and apart from the town being busier (which it is every summer) it hasn't really impacted on my life at all.

The first corner aside, it worked fairly well. Although I'm not sure we needed the change given how good we've been at set pieces the last few years.

I'm not assuming anything, it's well documented that he's demanding £100k a week. I doubt he's weighing up his options and thinking "I either want £100k at a top club, or less than half that and a good area for me to maybe start a family in". And let's face it, if he IS thinking about starting a family then the best thing he could do for his kids is earn as much as possible so they can get the best education etc.

He's leaving Arsenal because they won't pay his £100k a week wages, why on earth would he come here?

He wasn't really playing with freedom though. He even said himself in interviews that playing more centrally means he has to be more disciplined and track back more.

Or maybe that he just isn't going to get much game time if he stays with us? I doubt this move was money oriented from any parties angle.

Happy with nearly all the performances there.

Was it that Jim Beglin bloke saying that? What a numpty.

It's a Pompey conspiracy!!!!

Why take Guly off? Christ, even when he plays well he isn't given a chance.

But it's not, so that question is entirely f*cking pointless.

Ward-Prowse looks excellent.

That gif is hilarious.

I know...that's why it winds me up when people say the other.

"For all intensive purposes". Sorry, what?

Surely signing experienced players on big wages (like Reading) is a risk to the long term future, rather than our way of doing it which is a risk to our short term Prem status? If Reading go down next season they could be stuck with Pogrebnyak for 3 years on 50k a week.

It's a risk no matter what you do, if the management have confidence in the players they're signing then so should we.

By quality I assume you mean proven - in that case, what's wrong with identifying the talent earlier and them proving themselves in the Prem with us?

For christs sake, it is neither. It is just one flag that someone made up probably to wind up the skates. Why make a big deal of it, and most of all why now? Middle of pre-season seems a very odd time to suddenly notice this.

F*ck a doodle doo. "Welcome back"

He posted porn, was given an infraction, that took him over the 10 point ban point thingy and as it was his second ban it was made permanent. He won't be coming back.
