Simon Peach said a caller told him - that could be any random nutjob pretending to be ITK

Brillant team/ squad My only worry is that someone might notice we have 16 players on the pitch

I'm a bit disappointed in the private jet after seeing pics of the shiny new coach - i think it reflects poorly on our ambition

I cant see anyway that we will play with 3 defensive centre midfielders - particularly as he has stated GR will play a lead role this season - MS and VW are both box to box players and so it would be more logical one of these plays alongside JC, however MP wont drop our player of the season and isnt going to spend 12.5m on a player for the bench, so I can only see JC dropping down. MS and JC played so well together as they complimented each others style. I really hope MS and VW dont become another Gerrard/Lampard situation two great players that cant play together

isnt Remy on bail for rape - bit of gamble to bring him in with that hanging over him

This is a wind up that even SWF would be proud of

I'm going to do Lancing for the U21's game against BHA - not quite Spain or Austria

As good as Cork is - he does need to chip in with a few goals and assists and this is what a Cork upgrade might provide

My theory is that this site has been hacked and taken over by the Chinese state to disseminate negative propaganda to the west, leading us to believe we are all inferior and with the ultimate aim of creating a revolution. I believe its called the Alpine Spring

JWP has been linked with a loan move to the Cherries would free up space for two CM

final game of the season - title decider or relegation again?

To the tune of summer lovin olivia newton john scummer Lovren a hard man at last Scummer Lovren he signed so fast from Lyon Signed by corteeese he's a boy as cute as can be Those league one days are drifting away to uh oh those champion league nights Dejan Dejan Dejan show me more, show me more it was love at first sight Dejan dejan dejan does he put up a fight

The only concerning thing about this transfer is that he hasnt been linked with Liverpool. Should we really be signing players that are not good enough for them?

I thought it was a well known fact that the trusts business plan involves placing the next paracute payment on them winning the league - hence a £6m bet has shortened the odds somewhat. its a win / win scenerio - win the league and they are quids in and can push on to premier league top 4 and FA cup glory - fail to win the league just go into admin and pay everyone they owe 2p

are you seriously taking Bearsy seriously

The reason that I can see that MP has come out and said he would leave that is NC has spoken to him about the alternative vision that the Leibherrs might have - This could be significant differences in the level of investment that is either side see as required or possibly the degree of negotiation that is required to release the funds. Basically NC has had it his own way up until now and he is not happy that the Leibherrs dont want him to have total control over the amount of money that we are now talking about

its just taken me an hour and twenty minutes to wait for a bus to get out of there - dont blame them for leaving early was a good atmosphere in the ground for most of the game I hope we dont get those clackers very annoying

I live in Brighton and surrounded by Seagulls fans - They generally cant stand him and is a bit of a scape goat with their fans - main criticism is that he is so incredibly slow and always looks for the sideways pass. Cant see him fitting into our style of play - Dont think Brighton will extend his contract

Remember there was a big love in with Huddersfield fans with div 1 run in

if you have ever watched that documentary about QPR then nutter chairman definitely influence team selections including ringing the manager during games to influence substitutions. The manager was summoned pretty much after every defeat to justify team selections. Not that I'm suggesting our chairman is a nutter;)

trouble is look at wigan and villa

I am sure many of the opinions on this thread are based on sentiment - and it would be sad to see players that have been here a while and got us promoted be demoted to back ups - but the whether you judge us on recent form getting us to 10th in the table or whether you look at season length form putting us at 17th the table, the reality is that is significantly short of what I think NC's ambitions are and I dont think MP will show any sentiment when his brief is top 6 and he has seen how ruthless NC can be. However, sentimental you get about our defence, the stats show that we continue to leak poor goals and I think we will bring in two new centre backs to be 1st choice players and two full backs although these might be just to add competition to places as NC's also stated aim is to play academy players - that fact that punch doesnt seem to get much game time and the same with Davis would suggest that both those positions could be strengthened - I also think that across the season you would be looking at 3 first choice strikers of which we only have two at the moment. I expect to see significant movement this summer having experienced the reality of the prem and that MP will hold little sentiment to existing team players - and I think only if we make these changes will stand a chance of top 6 or even top 10

With the 10 point deduction Pompey could be 21 points from safety with 21 points available on Saturday evening - is it still too early for the relegation party

The fact we are four points off relegation and have a very very poor defensive record across the whole season would suggest that both centre backs are very poor premier league defenders - as much as we like them and yes he maybe our best its all relative - we will need to significantly improve if we want european football next season
