There's a reason for that!

It's obvious we are trying to force Yoshida out before his sale value gets too low.

Utterly horrific.

I must've missed that. Penny for your thoughts on Glenn Hoddle?

Me knees were all swollen. It was agony. The humidity. I dunno how I'm gonna get back. Seriously, I dunno. I can't sit in a plane. Can't do it. Might stay here. TWO DAYS LATER..... @Redknapp Tickets still available for an evening with 'Arry and Jim at Frimley Green tonight. Only £45 or £80 the pair. Triffic.

Honestly don't know about CB. I would have Yoshida but I'm not sure who the best partner is. Probably Vest to see if they can form a decent partnership.

I don't know nuffink. I don't even know what money is. Sandra takes care of all that. I don't even know what's real and what isn't. I'm a hyperbolic sceptic in the Pyrhonnian tradition. I can just about accept the 'cogito': cogito ergo fackin footbawwl managaah, but apart from that I don't know nuffink.

Agreed. Romeu and Lemina with Hojbjerg in front or Lemina and Hojbjerg with Armstrong in front. Get a grip on the game. Redmond and Mo/Long on the wings with Ings up top.

Has anyone here ever got caught up in a proper dust-up? What happened? Did things escalate? Did anyone get their fingers cut off and body chopped up by mistake?

Thinking about it though, does this mean he's in some sort of financial bovver? I know he's a shameless grasper but, seriously, why would you do that at his age (and with his arthritic knees) if you weren't somehow desperate?

Their second album was a big let-down.

Hope the c-unt dies.

Pardew smashed his wife though. Orgy with Fonte's bird and Kevin Phillips wife. Les served his revenge cold as ice.

I think he means don't have a physical border. There is a school of thought you can apply tariffs without border infrastructure e.g. rely on declarations after the event (in the absence of technological solution). At least that's what I think he means. Not sure how well that would work, mind. At least there are fewer berets imported into Norn Irn nowadays.

Half of our "shots" are Shane Long's first touches anyway so it's misleading.

I've got nothing against Bednarek but it's an odd signing. He barely got a look in until we had some injuries and went to 3 at the back last season. We've subsequently signed Vestergaard and now tend to play 4 at the back so he's unlikely to play much this season. There's just no need for a Premier League club to be signing players in their 20s who can't make an impact on the first XI unless you're just desperate for cover (which we're not, we've got plenty of CBs). He might improve to the level of Yoshida, for example, but he's never going to be Lovren, Aldeweireld, van Dijk or even prime Fonte, so it's a retrograde signing.

Whilst some fans were planks when it came to Puel, he wasn't sacked because of fan sentiment. He was sacked because some of our players hated him and the dressing room atmosphere was bad. As Ericb says, maybe that was the wrong call because the squad still seems to be in a bad place, mentally, but it's easier to replace a manager than a bunch of players so I can see why we got rid. The real problem was the dire appointment of Pellegrino, compounded with the Van Dijk situation and the wasted money on Carillo, Hoedt, Forster, Bednarek, Boufal and not reacting soon enough when it became clear that Pellegrino was out of his depth.

I make it that he's had 16 Premier League games as our boss and we've won 3 of them.

Vagina's o.g. was claasssss.

Leganes average player salary last season was about 10k a week and Celta Vigo's was about 20k so I expect it's very much "part", but fair point.

No. Tommac was one of the numpty middlemen in the fictitious deal.

He's finally hit the Start button.

I think Ian Beale did this once?

I was watching a bit of Barnsley v Luton the other day and apparently Barnsley have a Chinese "billionaire" owner too. Basically, the "English football league" is dead. I also recall watching half and half bedecked, grinning simpletons in the home end at Old Trafford posing for selfies with Lucas Moura this season after Spurs trousered them at home. I think this will be last season with an ST.

Bring Puel back in to steady the ship? It would require some people to swallow their pride but it's the smart move.
