Please post a summary for us exiles. Thanks

No its not, except he has a year left on his contract. Would we have the nerve to say "no, we're not accepting your resignation, gardening leave for 12 months"

Don't disagree with you, and hope you're correct but the bit in bold worries me as its a bit of a twin edge sword. As he's done well his stock is at its highest, and given he probably feels he stayed at Espanyol longer than he needed (ie in time for things to go on a downward spiral), so he may seek to take maximum advantage of his popularity now. Don't want him to leave but if he does just hope its not to the spurs, still detest those c^nts from the Hoddle, Richards saga, throw in Bale/Forecast etc it gets worse.

Yes, the KL/RK ticket gets my vote on that one.

Credit where its due it has to be Osvaldo v Man City. This is ahead of Lallana's v Hull largely due to the quality of opposition scored against. When the ball went to Osvaldo, it reminded me a little of the moment MLT took the ball yards out v Newcastle in 1994, you just felt here was a player with the ability to do something special against the odds. On that occasion he lived up to his billing. Perhaps he can collect his award for the wonder goal at the same time he receives his other accolade 'Knobhead of The Season'.

How about holding up red and white cards, saying "Thank you Liebherr's" , or "Thanks Mr C^ntese" if you feel so inclined, or even one that everyone can agree with, "F^ck off you sad skate C^nts" displayed around the ground. Perhaps a poll is called for.

That's the worry !

If its CB's previously linked then don't forget the Senegalese bloke at Anderlecht, Koyoute or similar.

Two seasons into the top division, so it really must be time for this again :

That will be my best memory of him.

No - Cortese is standing between Lovren and Jos.

Last weeks rumour on here previously. The Mirror are just catching up.

I look forward to his interview on Solent, or taking questions from supporters at a forum. I'm sure he'll handle it well but it may prove a little more searching and insightful than his Canadian snippets. Unless of course he is preparing the market there for sponsors !

Anyone else remember how James Beattie looked out of sorts in his early months with Saints ? Gallagher needs time to develop.

It's all well and good clowning around with facemasks and attending end of season staff matches but I think they should be concentrating on pressing issues like having a radio station and gaining some accolades for the catering. And having a picture of a train in the boardroom.

Navy blue was the traditional name for it.

Would prefer quarters to all red..

As opposed to nearly 83% who say anything but mainly red...

Can we first have a 'what sort of poll' poll ? A single vote or some form of proportional voting, a ranked system of 1-3 ? Then perhaps 42 can start a thread about why Season Ticket Holders should be either the only ones to vote, or why there should be some form of weighting given to their votes...

I remember in the 70's it was a mudbath from one goalmouth to the other, The Dell was pretty bad but Derby's Baseball Ground and Stamford Bridge were even worse.

Should be ahead of Gazzaniga in the pecking order.

I remember David Peach hitting a volley on the turn from the edge of the penalty area into our goal, on a Friday evening game v Millwall at The Dell c 1974 or 5. Alex Lindsey c 1970 headed into the Liverpool goal for us. (I think that was the game John McGrath upset Shankly for him and the media to label us Alehouse footballers).

Not sure about Stam , but I read that Overmaars is Sporting Director, in which case he would presumably not be part of the 'backroom' team. I'd expect Bercamp to stay and possibly take over at Ajax who seem to promote ex players into the top job as far as aware.

As much as I'm pleased to see us play our part in derailing their quest for Champions League football, this is nowhere near enough to offset the 1984 semi-final.

Recalling Sheringham's skate history, I have made a minor amendment to your post.
