Never heard it at home or away!

The blokes a c**k. Don't know why anybody even try's to reason with his weird logic. He makes Pap's conspiracy theories seem normal.

Corky said a few months ago that Utd now had the 1st option to buy Shaw for £30m after the Chelsea option ran out after the Jan' window. Now Corky's contacts at both Utd & City are rock solid and always have been. That's not to say Shaw will go but let's not pretend that this isn't a very real possibility and to suggest that newspapers are simply making it up is just plain daft.

Them winning the league every season has passed, no doubt, but not top 4? Nah. The bin dippers have been in 2 CL finals since they last won the league and whilst I agree that it'll take a season or two for Utd to clear out the dross and rebuild there is little doubt that they will. Shaw is unlikely to be looking at just next season, he knows he could be 1st choice LB at the biggest club in England for 15 years.

Unlike Wes most folk don't see Utd being outside the top 4 for too long.

I can't imagine why any player would want to sign for one of the biggest clubs in world football when they could play for the biggest club in Hampshire.

That's the biggest drawback with STs, being stuck with numpties. Pretty daft if the club don't let you move though.

The hard of thinking and Sky fans NEED to be told we are going for the CL as ANYTHING less is clearly lack of ambition for an average sized provincial club. These fans are commonly known as wan*ers.

You are so p**s poor at trolling.

More fool you for believing it in the 1st place.

Yeah, right.

Girls, we've always been a selling club and we always will be. Alas many bought into NCs silly idea of top 4 and not selling players. The best players will want to play for the best/biggest team. Has always been so, will always be so. We are a average sized provincial club, nothing more less and those who believe otherwise are even more f**king idiotic than the majority, which is saying something.

I fully expect Morgan to go.

Shaw & Morgan will go. That's life at an average sized provincial club. Morgan has been loyal and deserves a chance at a big club and Shaw will walk into any club in the country.

Very much this. I can afford it but can't justify it plus the added f**king about with KO times means watching line streams for home games and only going to the northern/midland aways.

Don't worry, I teach in a college, so they can.

I'm currently sat in my classroom having given this week ofthe holidays up for GCSE revision classes (they've just gone for a smoke) and I also have a student teacher under my wing and deliver some ITT for my local uni. My wife is also a teacher; she retrained after our 1st kid to ensure the school holidays off. My advice is this. Think long & hard as if you're not 100% committed to it you won’t survive. Decide what subject and what age group. Most of us (secondary& post-16) work 50hr+ weeks and average around £30k unless ASTs, management roles etc. The hours are longer and the demands greater in Primary. Government’s own figures have Primary sector averaging 60hr+ per week and my own experience would support that. It’s a great vocation IF you are in the right place, if you’re not it can be soul destroying. As for the training, in my experience, the more, shall we say, mature, entrants have a much better grasp of it then the youngsters. Once the training is over you then actually learn how to do the job & after 3 years of teaching you’ll be competent.

I don't think anyone who teaches, or has taught in Brum over the last decade, is at all surprised.

Hard to argue with that. However, Bruce has done an excellent job at Hull this season.

And not any living former Home Secretary.

My last game of the season and an almost home game too boot. I'm sad to say that I couldn't careless about it really. The season is over for me, only going so we can meet up with friends.

He's a quality player but he's made of glass.

I text Corky the very same thing. He was outstanding.

^^ very much this ^^ My last game of the season next week so thankfully I don't have to endure any more insipid end of season dross.
