In other words, we just put up with any amount of ****e and just get on with it. Forgive me if I don't agree with you.

I admire your optimism derry. I hope you're not disappointed.

I hope I'm wrong, but I don't see our team is young and dynamic. I see it as inexperienced and lacking in depth and quality. Admittedly I have only seen them play once, and I hope I'm wrong, but I can't see as getting anything from this game. I think it's going to be a tough season. Hopefully the decent young prospects we have won't be scarred by the experience.

Any chance that all the takeover speculation could be banned. We are either being played for fools (why?), or the deal just ain't gonna happen, it's gone on for too long.

A bit over the top about the team. They were average against Stoke. OK they tried hard, but they were still average. Don't get sucked in by all the PR. It would be fair to judge the team after the first 5 games.

Hackneys should get some priveleges for the money they have to pay for their red plate. However, they obviously may need to raise their game. This fella from WestQuay cars sounds very insincere. He's probably a freemason who has been given the nod from his lodge mates from ABP to have a go. In my experience, WestQuay give a crap service anyway. I always have to give them directions, which they can just about understand. I'd rather go in a taxi with a driver in flip flops who knows where he's going as opposed to a smartly dressed one who doesn't have a clue.

It's time they put up or shut up to be honest. Also the stock exchange seems unmoved by all this, the share price hasn't moved. I remain firmly in the sceptical camp.

F*cked if I know. Let's be honest, who knows if any of it is true.

The only things we would be likely to lose are Rupert Lowe and a lot of debt. Bit of a no brainer really.

Odd time to take a holiday, with the season starting so soon. I do hope he's got his mobile with him.

Showed me last night that John and Rasiak can play together. John played a blinder last night and played a little deeper. Vey impressed with Schneiderlin, and young White. Good performances from Lallana and Dyer. Poor performances from Thomas and Wright-Phillips (greedy bastard). Davis looked better than Bart (surprise, surprise). First time I have seen the new team. Can't say I'm wetting myself in anticipation for the start of the season.

Cool your jets everyone. It's nearly Friday. All IMHO of course.

'Alan Shearers Red and White army' All IMHO of course.

I like that Polish lager, Tyskie, and I'm not even Polish.

If I pay more can a be a goldmember?

Like it Weston, like it.

I hope the £5 eliminates the riff-raff.
