Dave Jones should get a good reception.

Love it.

Seems reasonable to me.

By today must be translated to the sale Uruguayan Southampton to unlock the negotiations set to conclude today and maybe some other purchase. Now or never - or at least it should be. Tuesday afternoon, in fact the president Guaraldi assured fans absolutely want to conclude the negotiations with Southampton not later than the morning today to not find yourself having to work quickly on the last day of the transfer market. Are now many in Bologna that count the minutes left before the end of the day, hoping that any problems preventing the two clubs to reach an agreement and be able to see it again so Gaston Ramirez with the shirt of Bologna. In fact there is no possible substitute at the market to fill the gap that would open technique losing the young Uruguayan talent for a figure decidedly favorable. To have a comparison just think the figure that Manchester City close disburse at this time to buy eighteen Nastasic from Fiorentina: 18 million. Bologna is instead ready to give 70% of the label of one of the hottest prospects in world football born in 1990 to just 14 million. Let us trust the president, however, the word Guaraldi and wait for the end of the morning to learn the fate of the boy and therefore also of all receipts and payments transactions

Looking forward to seeing Lambert bully Carrick filling in at CB.

I managed to do the same. I'm pleased I got a ticket but it's clearly wrong that a queueing system is nothing of the sort and appears to have been entirely random and that sales were possible before the published time of 9.00am.

He could play behind Rodriguez. I watched him and the others' shooting practice before ko on Saturday. He strikes the ball brilliantly and unerringly into the net in contrast to Rodriguez and Sharp who were hit and miss. Only a fool would swap that for the likes of David Goodwillie.

They could but they need to play close together.

4-3-3. I get the theory. It's the execution that bothers me. That performance was anything but fluid. We didn't move the ball anywhere near quickly enough and without much pace in the side that's essential. Too many passes played across the back four or between the central midfield pair and the back four leaving the centre backs to play it forward...generally poorly. I'm really concerned that we don't have the right players to play this way. I wonder whether the players believe in it. I really hope they can make it work but I found the whole match incredibly frustrating, a big contrast to the confidence displayed in last season's opening home fixture.

Spanish.

It would be naive to think that transfer business is done through formal channels only. Holloway says he will report the club (let's assume Saints), to the authorities, not that he has reported them. Probably a warning shot and at the same time a bit of public pressure on his player. Though I doubt Saints will be remotely concerned with Holloway's threats and if the player wants to move, as we all know, eventually he'll move.

It's enough.

Presumably he won't be going to West Ham either then. If he's too choosy he might end up in the Championship this season.

Yeah that eagle was impressive. I didn't see it prancing though.

How many times have you seen him play?

No problem just an observation. I'm pleased you now realise I was agreeing with you.

I'm sorry I can't help Michelle and her group of 7, including you. I was merely contributing to the discussion about lack of transparency, a point raised by you and others. You see a surcharge isn't a booking fee,otherwise it would be called a booking fee wouldn't it? I think the OS is probably means to convey that there is a booking fee per ticket of £1.50 except where you buy on match day when it increases to £2 but the OS doesn't actually say that. It refers variously to booking fee and surcharge i.e. lack of transparency. If you don't mind I'll take your word for it that you're pretty well informed.

I quoted "match day". Not sure what point you are making. Try being transparent.

Small print - "There is a £2 surcharge per ticket when bought on match day". Is a surcharge a booking fee? Not exactly transparent is it?. I expect there's a customer charter somewhere but just can't be arsed..

It bloody does. I've proved it....many times.

I'm hoping that once the season starts and we have something meaningful to discuss the bickering will get diluted by a higher volume of posts and it will be easier to ignore.

Yes there is a chance that this is retaliatory - the club sending a signal to Arsenal to lay off Luke Shaw or we'll target one of yours.
