People keep mentioning Theo, but who will pay his 100k p/w + exactly?

Lol @ Spurs fans. Showing their lack of football knowledge as per usual. ''Am I the on,y one top hat things ward-Prowse Is the better player in their side and I'd prefer him. He looks to be an outstanding prospect who is delivering now that he is fit again''

He's pretty much shouting to Wenger ''Come and sign me''.

I wonder if his previous club, Strasbourg, have any sort of sell on %?

Who knows, the standard in these qualifiers are pretty poor. Not sure on how the seeding works, but Hull as an example got drawn against Trenčín in the first round, and Lokeren in the play off (they lost to them on away goals). Spurs got through by beating AEL Limassol

What are fans lapping up exactly? He gave us a great season when he could have easily sulked and not given a ****, but he was top draw. He will get a move this summer and I think we will all wish him the best as he's given us 7 fantastic years. It might not be done as quick as some expect though, there may be a bit of a midfielder merry-go round this summer. Pogba, Khedira, Vidal, Toure, Iklily Gudigudon (sp) all likely on the move.

At least that rules out Spurs. And actually, looking a bit more into it, that's totally not what he said - ''not quite what he said actually. He said he would only leave for a champs league team'' .......but at least it STILL rules out Spurs.

Potentially two ties. One 2 legged third round qualifier, which is at the end of July, and if we get through that then another 2 legged play off (Mid-august) to see who gets into the Group stages. The 2 legged play off is contested against the winners from the third round and the teams kicked out of the CL qualifiers.

Talking about Harry, fair play to Shearer last night on MOTD who said....''Redknapp needs to take the blame for QPR's relegation as well, people are forgetting him''.

I thought we were going to have another ''Let's be avin' you...'' moment then.

Congratulations Norwich. Shame it wasn't much of a contest in the end. Boro didn't really turn up.

What's Davvy Klassen like? Saw us linked on a random football rumours forum, no substance to it what so ever other than the fact he's dutch, players in holland and is an AMC.

Boro look beaten out there.

Pretty impressive I'd have thought, given how often we churn out players and improve players such as Morgan, Clyne etc.

Shouldn't you be more worried about who Cook is going to sign for you guys? 200k for Wallace was pretty poor.

This sounds to me as if Madrid will now need Toby. MIRANDA SET FOR EXIT Atletico Madrid defender Miranda is set to leave the club this summer, according to AS.

He may have, but he's quite clearly a player on a quick slide to obscurity. Failed here, at Bremen, at Juve.

If you worked in football you'd be giving anyone and everyone a bloody contract! It's a harsh sport and you have to tell hard truths, Elia for one is no where near good enough and we should not waste our time on him.

Who ever gave up with Fonte exactly? He came here with a huge reputation and dropped a league, he was predictably very good. He had a shaky NPC season but he'd already shown his quality so we knew what to expect. Pelle has been here 1 season and scored 16 goals, no one really gave up on him. Gaston has been here 3 years and has just been relegated. I think that confirms all we need to know.

They really don't.

Please......stop! Give up the hope, it will kill you!

This is what happened last season though, and what will probably happen next season. It's not being unlucky, it's just part of a football season. The difference is, as you said, is that City, Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal can bring back the likes of Wiltshire, Alex Chambo, Theo. Chelsea can call on Remy or Cech. Depth is the reason the league finishes as it is. The truth is that our settled starting 11 is probably up there with the top 4, they'd give them a game every week, but you can't sustain that. I think the table has given a fair reflection on the sides and the strengths of the squads.

And I'm sure Lambert and Lovren will have a little chat to him - it ain't all it's cracked up to be! I don't think Clyne is 'top' level just yet, he'll get there...but he's not there yet. I think if he moved now, he wouldn't be a mainstay in a team and would drift in and out of a side like Shaw. It makes so much sense for him to stick here and carry on progressing. He'll get his move one day and has plenty of time on his side.

Feels totally different though. I think with Jose he's playing at his peak right now, he's not going to get any better, and I don't see any top clubs coming in for him at this stage of his career.

The 0-0 against WBA was a low point for me - not just because of the flat performance, but the fan's reactions. Pelle was getting slaughtered in his 2nd ever game for us. He got jeered and booed. It was down right embarrassing. 8-0 and 6-1 obviously have to be up there as the high points, but I particularly enjoyed the OT away game! Which came as part of those 3 away wins on the bounce.
