7 seasons with Bayern, why would he not have a German agent?

The SFA are just being cautious, while there is a legal dispute going on, however clear cut it appears to be the SFA cannot be seen to support one side or t'other. If they did and by some fluke Green won his case then the SFA would be up a gum tree. What they have done is perfectly reasonable, and the clubs involved will be able to move on with a temporary clearance from FIFA. In the end the worst that is going to happen is that SFC will have to pay compensation to Newco, although this is highly unlikely. Its all a non-issue. Steve Davis will not be playing in Scotland next season.

I think he should get his fleece...

Totally pointless these days starting threads that might start some debate. This is why this forum has become a waste of time, not because of Alpine but because of the people that respond to him.

Thank you Markus, best birthday present ever.

Steeeeeeeeeeeeve. It may not get used much otherwise.

Fecking hope not. Not sure why the comparison anyway between that Belgian ****** and a new Dutch signing.

Bloody hell, next thing we,ll get those morris dancers identifying transfer targets. The bells get on my wick.

Actually Stiff Needle was a decent driver, even Senna would have struggled in an Ensign (Piquet did). Lack of funds and decent oportunities meant he was never going to make it with one of the grandee teams.

Do you really think our result against Man City will be undluly influenced by our poor showings on TV? Look on the bright side though, at least we probably won't be bottom of the League after the first day of matches.

Are you sure? No-one ever thinks Guly had a good game, do they

Spurs have a good track record identifying young keepers.

I thought his name was Mugabi, not Lowe

I like this message on their board: "One player we need to keep. Shows how far he has come that prem clubs are after him" Makes me feel good. No idea about Martinez, I'm sure if we are after him that he is what is needed, but would be more excited if we were in for Ince. No reason we couldn't get both though.

Sorry if I'm being dense but how does this relate to the Skates? Have they been demoted to the Conference?

We should just rebrand ourselves as The Football Club. Everyone will know it is us because we are the only club worth knowing about. No need to suggest our location, just world domination. I considered Roman Empire Saints but realised this would exclude our Japanese customers, not inclusive enough. The New Saints has also already been done, so not an option. In answer to the OP, NO!!!

Still think the shirts would look better with black shorts rather than red, as the kid in the OS photos demonstrates (even if they are not proper black footy shorts).

Would Messi "make you wet" or would he make you messy? He's a footballer, he's not meant to make you wet.

Topman would be lucky to have 20 customers in a day. Most other shops don't have demand like this where hundreds of people all want to buy a single product on the same day because they can't wait. Look what happens when the gaming geeks want their new nerdy game the moment it comes out. You can't suddenly build in 20 extra tills and 20 extra staff for a one-off event. Given most people thought the new kit was gash I'm surprised there was a queue at all, and given we don't even know what squad numbers will be seems a bit odd getting numbers printed, unless you want 7 I suppose.

Fortunately players are picked by football coaches and managers, rather then press officers, who with all due respect may be about as knowledgeable about football as Redknapp (Louise)

Not good enough for Saints? You must be joking, a fit Jenas would be a very good addition. I just have my doubts that Spuds would be letting him go before they appoint a new manager who might want to run the rule over all of his players first.

Slightly odd article, based around the single premis that Reading have purchased a striker who has played 12 games in the PL for 1m less than we have paid for a striker who has not played in the PL. Do they really think this is the extent of the business we or Reading will do this summer (Reading have since signed Guthrie of course). And Reading apparently are odds on to go down yet we are evens (and how Wet Sham are 9/4 is beyond me). Lets not forget also that the last Club to win back to back promotions (before Norwich who have done very well) was the crap team Man City who went straight back down (before coming back up and winning the title). So much is written on the web these days that the talent for this writing is spread very thinly indeed, as displayed very well by this article which quite frankly could have been written by a 10 year old. Only time will tell, but I am confident of a mid table finish, and that Reading will stay up as well.

and fourth. We also need some CMs who can chip in with a few goals. Davis is hardly prolific but 17 in 140 is not too shabby for CM

Excuse my ignorance, but who is Steve Knight (ex-The County)?

Suppose I'm seeing things, but I thought there were stripes on the shirt, is it just my PC monitor playing up? Oh well if the shirt is just plain red then I hate it.
