Saint Mikey

Oh, and I've just remembered how he pulled Dean Richards' (RIP) pants down at Elland Road, to score a very good goal...

I agree that now we shouldn't be going for a player like this. But, to be fair to Smith, he was far from an 'awful' player. Was very decent at Leeds and has got 19 England caps. At 31, I'm sure he'll do a decent job for a C'ship side. Maybe even Leeds, if they'll have him back after signing for Utd.

Was this ever confirmed by the club?

Not really. I used to be a serial burgular, and I'd just take a nice juicy steak with some rat poison in it - shuts them up long enough for you to go about your business.

Things have changed an awful lot in football since 1997. N.I. for example have been fighting for players since a load of youngsters decided to opt for EIRE and do have players from predominantly the C'ship and some League 1. They may have enquired about his eligibility, but he may not have been eligible or willing to play. Wales are similar.

He's eligible, but I'd say rightly or wrongly, he has the following in front of him: Rooney Bent Carroll Defoe Wellbeck Zamora Sturridge Crouch Heskey Owen C. Cole Bothroyd K. Davies Plus younger players from the U21's like: Wickham Waghorn Sordell Rodriguez Plus players played out of position, like: Gerrard Young Cleverley Walcott AOC If all or most of these get injured, he may get a sniff. Also, if he was eligible for another Association, they would have tapped him up already. Esp, if it was N.I. or Wales.

Do you think we should man mark him then? I'd hate to see him pop up and score...

Is this better than MDMA?

This whole post points to me that you haven't got a f**king clue what you're talking about.

Why would anyone take a bookie's advice on what to bet on? They don't want you to win.

He'll be part of the matchday squad, I'd imagine. Whether he makes the final 16 is another matter. Looks like Dickson and Holmes aren't part of Nige's plans. Is this Holmes' last year? I think we gave him a 4 year (gulp!) deal. May do a job for a Lge 1 team on loan. He just aswell try and get games if he's fit. He hasn't played much in the past 3 seasons here, and not much before that either...

We could field nearly a whole defence of Dans/Danny's: (young) Danny Butterfield - Dan Seaborne - Dan Harding - Danny Fox

He won't fill in at CB, he's an attacking LB. Quality signing, although not entirely sure we need him. Or, I should say, I think we need a CB more.

Can't see why people are thinking this is well beyond the realms of possibility. Wolves only ever play 4-5-1, with 2 attacking wingers and an attacking CM. At the moment they would play: 1st: Doyle 2nd: Fletcher Then anyone from: Ebanks-Blake Keogh Maierhofer Vokes The last two haven't played a lot and aren't probably in the Manager's plans, but Ebanks-Blake is still 3rd or 4th choice in a team that only plays one up. Their squad is also massive and may need a trim. Not saying it will happen, but I am willing it to happen! Would be a great signing...

I was contemplating moving, as there was a right irritating old codger behind us last season. I didn't though and I'm now hoping that he's a victim of Cortese's Age Discrimination policy, or he's karked it.

Don't want to p!ss on anyone's fire, as the comments are good. However, Bild is like a Sun/Daily Star hybrid. It's the most sold daily, but it's certainly not a credible paper in Germany.

Personally, I'm disgusted with this comment. This song is our heritage. Markus even liked singing that song. I suggest you have a good look at yourself, we don't need fans like you.

Lolz. Do you mean Arabic?

Why don't you take a stat that isn't affected by the size of our respective grounds then? What about away support? Yours is p!ss poor, and I'd like to see you defend it...although I'm sure you will come up with a load of ******.

I guess this must be the main reason. Why mention Financial Fair Play in that article otherwise?

Sol Campbell?

When? He was a free agent at the end of the season (I think), but definitely signed a new deal with Burnley. Is mates with Howe too...

Libellous.

Anyone else heard the rumours that Cortese has been employing actors to stand in the queue, just to put people off queuing to get a Season Ticket?

I thought he only signed a 1 yr extension last year (although I think this was an automatic clause that Reading invoked anyway). So he should be a free agent, albeit with a development fee, unless he's since signed a longer deal? Seems unlikely as I don't think he even started a game last year? Just checked on Soccerbase and he made 24 appearances last year, and scored 1 goal. Not sure how many starts though, but has only ever made 4 starts in total in Lge and Cup. Not sure whether he'd be worth a punt, or we should be looking a tad higher now. I suspect the latter...
