The translator has been given the boot after Pochettino decides to speak English in interviews. :-)

Season only finished a week ago. Peeps needs a holiday. I'd suspect this next week will be when we start seeing things happening.

Crazy really. We want to keep him, Spurs fans aren't keen on him, yet Levy has made him top target. I understand de Boer has been away recently, and is back in Holland today. I wonder if Spurs will have a cheeky word with him before they go for Pochettino... I'm very Meh about this. My dream is we keep everyone bar Osvaldo and strengthen with 3/4 players but the chances of that happening are slimmer than Keira Knightley's jeans. As it goes though, I care more about the players leaving than Pochettino, as long as the appointment of the next guy is correctly thought through.

Ha! Almost like West Ham and their celebratory boat party they organised the year we got promoted.

Trophy being engraved with Arsenals name with 7 minutes left to play. Disgusting. And Hull nearly scored. Bet the engraver shat himself for a second...

Gutted for Hull fans. Losing may have been expected but not the way they've done it. Ultimately Arsenal wanted it more. Brave showing though, good final for a neutral.

Hull to won on penalties would make for an epic storyline. I'd love it if that happened. So many friends of mine support Arsenal...

I'm neutral today but there's always a part of me that roots for the Underdog. More so because of a text I got this morning from an Arsenal supporting colleague who'd already assumed Arsenal had won the cup.

Great tastes! The Beach has a decent soundtrack too, and how could I forget Eye Of The Tiger from Rocky 3!

Unless Morgan leaves...

I'd definite take Berahino. Young, in the International squads, English, has proven he can score goals, and wants the move as he fell out with his teammates. Him and Ings, for example, wouldn't be a bad two additions to our striking line up at all.

Ah ok. Decent punishment then.

All the more reason for them to 'buy British' surely? More chance of holding them to ransom if they turn their attentions to Shaw, not that I think they need another left back. I wonder if they'll have a poke at Barkley...

Fined heavily for breaking FFP rules and have to use a reduced squad of players in the CL next season. Thoughts? I say heavily, a lot of it is suspended and, well, it's City innit, they're loaded.

... Or simply song written for a film? I've just been listening to the Kevin and Perry Go Large soundtrack. Thumping. Always makes me wish I'd gone to Ibiza in my younger years. As for song, I repeatedly listen to Mark Knoppfler's Going Home: Theme of the local hero. It's the song Newcastlke play pre-match. I just like it for some reason... You?

Suddenly I have an urge to go motor boating...

It'd also arse off the Spurs faithful if we got de Boer and they got Pochettino. From what I read they want a more proven manager than Poch. One thing there are at the moment is a lot of good managers out of work, or managers that may be looking for fresh challenges. I want Pochettino to stay, but only if his heart is in it, and can we please get it sorted out promptly!

There's fine line with buying the right player should the need to replace Shaw arise. For instance at Arsenal, they signed Andre Santos for 7 million, and for a similar price had to buy Monreal to replace him. Good replacements are out there for Shaw though, which is why, as long as the price is right, I'm not too concerned with seeing him go. (As long as it's after the World Cup) Lallana though will be very difficult to replace satisfactorily, and given his longevity at the club already, I really want to see him stay.

I personally think Lallana has looked so good this season because he's had JRod and Rickie alongside him. Seeing as we're more than likely keeping Rickie, and because of his injury JRod too, makes me wonder whether it'll sway his decision to stay put. They always look so happy playing together. Perhaps that's just wishful thinking.

No David Moyes on the Saints one? Is he too good for us?

A free transfer, a renowned goalkeeper, still fairly young, sounds good to me.

WBA's versatile defender/midfielder Billy Jones has announced he's leaving them this summer at the end of his contract. Worth a free to shore up the squad? I suppose it'd depend on Chambers future at the club.
