Wouldn't that be 4 seasons running that our first game is away? Man City, WBA and Liverpool. Surely we are due a home start at some point. If not I think we should check whether Blatter is involved.

Burnley must be getting quite busy dealing with Trippier, Spurs, Villa, Liverpool and Bournemouth at least also "in discussions" apparently. I'm sure there are more.

Oh dear, fast becoming the 2015 "has Skacel signed yet" retort.

This. 2999.

Has to be said that if that is the best that England can muster these days, it demonstrates how poor we currently are. Agree that Clyne and Bertrand would make it look better, but it really does show that we probably currently have the worst group of players in history.

...

On target tonight for Senegal.

Heartbreaker

But do you know the tune? Difficult to get a song going unless the tune is known. Anyway its only meant in jest. Need to stick to mainstream if the Northam.are going to latxh on to anything.

Who? Obscure to say the least, not many would know how that song goes. The Northam would struggle.

You are clearly more than a little prejudiced. One of the "he left us so now he's rubbish" brigade. He clearly was not rubbish and kept Clyne out of the side on merit, different type of player, but there were times when he was certainly better and no amount of hindsight should change that view. I also don't recall Poch losing the plot, more false memory syndrome. I don't disagree that he runs like a girl, but then so does Raheem Sterling.

Think FIFA are supposed to do things like that as well, chances of the FA blazer brigade turning up something off their own back is approaching zero.

Difficult to imagine it.wasn't us. Who else would make a complaint? Another agent, Inland revenue, Sepp Blatter? Unlikely.

Given what I quoted I think that's pretty obvious. I didn't quote the Spain part. Spain and Uruguay are continents apart, just like you and me.

He was hardly a dud. Kept Clyne out of the team for significant part of season while playing for us. How Arsenal have used him since is why he is looking like a "dud". He fitted our system and would (probably) have developed into a top class full back or midfielder if he had stayed with us (not sure about CB but possibly). Just like so many, badly advised and ****ed off elsewhere when the money came calling instead of taking some time to learn his trade and develop his game.

They have been charged with breaking Agent regulations over the transfer of Calum Chambers from Southampton. Therefore it affects how the agent interacted with Southampton. Thus although there is no suggestion of Saints' wrong-doing, the transfer of our player was in some way done in breach of regulations. I would hazard a guess that the charge would have come about because of a complaint made by us.

Sounds like he is Ramirez Mk2 based on this.

(At least) 2 assists from Steven Davis as well. Will be good to see JRod in the stripes as well.

I prefer it if he continues as Executive Director personally, not sure Song would fit into the Board Room, unless he is seen as a long term replacement for Ralph.

If we could get 4m for him with one year left on his contract that would seem like a decent deal and given we have had him for 3 years (including on loan) we could effectively write off 9m, so 4m would even seem like a small profit :-) Still think he is better than Djuricic or Elia and would probably do well for us in Europa, but it seems like those who really count see his future elsewhere.

As long as he is better than the last Pole with the name Grzegorz. It wouldn't be difficult. Our track record with Polish players is not that great if we're honest, though one or two flattered to deceive initially.

Well next season it could be that other than Jose and JRod no one else much would even remember him (forgot Victor)

Westminster Chimes I assume. Same tune, just about every clock chimes the same thing.

I think it would be further enhanced by a strip of black just above the "legs". I don't know why just seems as though it would be an improvement.

Agree with you Sue. It was also "Big Jim Steele is after you", IIRC. Top bloke, shame he's not at the Black Bear in Moreton any more. Don't rememer anything particularly bad during the Anderlecht game, but really don't remember much about it at all other than the rain.
