they could ram the season tickets I intend to buy if that's true (which I don't believe anyway).

They are 1 injury away ( Suarez) from being a Europa Cup team at best. They have a mid-table defence. They have a gung-ho manager, who showed himself up in the last few games of the season. This season was a freak for them. They won't be top 4 next season.

Spurs bought loads of players with the Bale money and were a poorer side for it. Evolution, not revolution. Lallana will go, but Shaw will stay.

Not the first opportunity though. Fulham wanted him a while ago.

Reckon we'll lose Lallana. But how many more points would we have got last season if we didn't have to play Jos or Gazzanigga, or Gallagher(give the lad time, he's got time to improve). Poch will improve the side in these positions, and Lallana, sadly, will be replaced. I reckon the net effect will be a stronger squad next season, so who knows if we have peaked. I'm not ready to hang myself just yet.

Ties in with what I was told. I expect Shaw to stay as well. Unfortunately I reckon Lallana will go to Liverpool.

With the exception of Marshall, you're talking about Championship players. Hopefully we can aim a bit higher than that.

Don't reckon Shaw will go anywhere.

I hope he stays. I don't want us to be the Crewe of the Premier League.

Been right before, been wrong before. It's not from the horse's mouth, and I'm not 100% convinced.

I heard tonight that Poch and Shaw will both be staying.

It's crap, he won't be going anywhere.

Didn't Reed say we would look at players a bit closer to home in future. Can't see us taking the risks we gave done with big deals. Wouldn't put Vic in the same bracket as c*nt and Gaston though.

I don't think for one minute that UKIP are the answer. But if their success in the Euro elections forces the hand of the main parties committing to a straight in/out referendum, they will have done their job. I always hoped that once 1 party committed itself to a referendum, the other parties would follow. The next election will be tight, the Tories referendum pledge may just turn it in their favour. As a lifelong Labour voter, I am dismayed by Labour at the moment. Their leadership is terrible. Always liked John Denham, decent principled man, but now that he's retiring I don't know who to vote for next time. In short, I am not a typical right-wing xenophobe just because I am pro-democracy and anti-EU.

Not to that extent. It's as if we'll all become destitute slaves living in a dump of a country and all getting cancer from passive smoking if we leave the EU.

Doubt it, unless his Speak and Spell can be wired into the internet.

Mark Blake, another centre-half who came through the ranks.

Crikey, how on earth did we live before the EU? If Farage bought out anything as slanted as that, he would, quite rightly, be ridiculed. Pro-EU lobby are obviously extremely worried judging by that rubbish.

Wouldn't want him back at the club after this. Behaving like a spoilt child who's just had his train set taken off him.

I've heard the new kit is Patrick, and that Keegan will be our new manager.

Are players able to buy their contracts out now? Not sure, but if they can't, then why can't we keep players who the club gave new deals to in good faith?

Some press reporting that Benitez wanted by Spurs.

We'll probably know either way in a week or so.

I reckon Gallagher would have signed a 4 year deal if even Branfoot was manager!

I will certainly be voting for them as a protest, in the hope that the main parties will get an idea of public opinion and change their policies accordingly. In a general election, it is extremely unlikely I would vote UKIP, although to be fair, it is also extremely unlikely that I would vote for anyone at the moment.
