It has been made by a group who proclaim to be under 5's though.

I've always had a soft spot for Argyle, and am warming to them even more: http://www.pasoti.co.uk/talk/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=99180&start=39 Didn't take them long to work the skates out.

Is this to be his 'Gaston - remember the Villa match' trump card ?

Not asking for much then ? Don't think Puel deserves the push although I'm not totally convinced he's the right man. Difficulty is though that I'm not sure we'd attract anyone significantly better. Playing wise - some improvements throughout are required GK, CB, and MF. Full backs also if we allow Cedric & Bertrand to leave. Aims (as ever) - cup runs, and EL qualification. (Then to spend the following season complaining about rotation and fixture congestion no doubt).

According to some on the Mongboard we've not recovered from letting Wotton go.

This was the same game when his blonde photographer girlfriend was spotted walking naked around the pitch carrying a camera.

Saw the back page of the Star today with a feature about Cedric headlined 'Saints will know when to let me go'. I didn't read the article as it was inside the paper or a supplement, but the headline indicates a bit of posturing and indecent haste looking for the summer exit door already. Of course the headline might be misleading and he goes on to say he wants to still be playing for us aged 65 or something.

Looks like Jose's move to West Ham has done a lot to calm the dressing room spirit there: http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/west-ham-facing-string-summer-10228154

Not often a team containing Best, Charlton & Law are stuffed like that.

Just had a look on the Argyle forum: http://www.pasoti.co.uk/talk/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=99180 Found the link to this, what a sad collection of low life specimens found amongst the skates.

Shame Ron Davies wasn't available due to injury, but good job Jimmy Gabriel could play up front (and score the winner).

As was Theo if you listen to 'arry.

I'd be surprised if Forster is top of Arsenal's GK list.

I'm still more inclined to take my chances with my stairs than an Islamist nutter behind the wheel of a truck.

I think the last spot will be between Swansea and Hull, although would prefer it to be West Ham or Palace. Sunderland , and probably Middlesbrough look booked for it. But didn't we all think the same about Leicester two years ago ?

From the 1970's this was the Panorama edition focusing on Millwall and their yobs. Quite controversial when it was aired, but amusing in hindsight looking at the 1970's styles etc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKoYjOGOzXQ If you were around at the time to remember the Clough sacking at Leeds this is interesting viewing from Yorkshire TV's regional news programme featuring Brian Clough and Don Revie being interviewed side by side. The friction between them is clear. I can't imagine in the modern era with agents etc two managers conducting such a frank interview and exchange in this fashion. I only found this about a year or so ago, forty years after it was broadcast but still found it an eyeopener into the story. Clough shows all the mannerisms as to why he was hated by so many at the time.

Pure coincidence then that we've signed Pied, Boufal and Hassen from France then ? As opposed to Clasie, Marina et al when Koeman was manager.

They could probably play Coco The Clown, or Ronald MacDonald there on Wednesday and they'll probably contain a JayRod (65 minutes)/Long(for the rest) strikeforce though. Its not opposition CB's that we have to worry about, its our own ineptitude in front of goal this season.

I wonder if Poch will be interested in reigniting Rodriguez career, and if we could use that in some sort of exchange involving Trippier. Although I think he's overpriced at £12m given he's really only been a squad player at spurs.

Might depend how desperate they are for VVD, especially if Man City are also in the race.

Also on Chelsea's target list according to Evening Standard. http://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/chelsea-want-to-bring-ryan-bertrand-back-to-stamford-bridge-with-southamptons-virgil-van-dijk-a3504006.html With Cedric linked to Barcelona brace yourself for the possibility that we could be starting next season with a completely new back 4.

Chelsea also have this bloke who might be worth taking off their hands: https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/3218672/andreas-christensen-chelsea-antonio-conte-return-gladbach/

Isn't that about twenty years ?

So, he can sing and he's now a recognised first aider. Would appreciate a few goals in his repertoire though.

So that's Cedric - VVD - Bertrand, all linked with City in the last couple of months.
