Just the one, it's the cup final.

Democracy...that's how it happens. Promise enough to fools and they'll vote for you. You can be dishonest as you like but the greed of simpletons will always get you where you want to go. No person with an IQ of less than say 90 should be allowed to vote for anything important.

Think Villa and Arsenal have about equal chances of winning the Cup actually. It's an occasion where form and pedigree often go out of the window.

But would he qualify for a work permit if the rules have changed (or been applied)? He's played for Senegal to be sure but whether he's a 70% man I'm not so sure.

Not with just a year left on his contract, it's take whatever is on offer come 1st September or get the player to sign a new contract, there are probably no other options as we won't want to see him leave for nothing next June. After the 3rd of Sept Clyne moves into the drivers seat because he has all the good options and we'll have none.

Suarez,Sturridge and 16 penalties carried them for a season, one man lost it for them. When they get rid of him they'll be so much the better for it.

Probably not pretty enough for that. Don't we only have attractive young ladies selling programmes nowadays?

Ah I don't know there, top 4 UK clubs all have non UK managers and some of those may not really appreciate the qualities of Clyne, as I said many times concerning Shaw last summer, there's probably better available for less if you know where to look for it. As a rule UK footballers are often vastly overated and usually vastly overpriced.

At 16-18 million some might say exceptional business actually.

Well if we're going to sign Gueye it will have to be soon enough, Lille are desperate for money, need 20 million € before the end of June, so I'll say 9th June.

Dodgy as fork, one of the home nations (S.Korea) managed to make the semis even though their team played like a girls U11 tyro league side, usual final of course, Brazil-Germany. Spain beat S Korea at least 2-O, but they didn't because 2 perfectly good goals were disallowed and the Koreans won on penalties at the end.

He was seen at the Rome derby the other day, guest of the AS Rome apparently.

Might be able to dump Mayuka off onto them in the bargain, Hervé Renard is probably the world's only football manager who actually rates Mayuka.

Provided that someone is prepared to give it to us of course.

What one standing on the other's shoulders you mean. Perhaps Victor will throw them at him, like Gimli at Helm's Deep.

Well the US Attorney General is saying that FIFA officials took bribes concerning the 2010 WC in Af Sud. No doubt from the manufacturers of those farking trumpets. Aha and the 2016 Copa LIberatores...Dani was right then........

Clasie gets a lot of cards actually, whether that's due to the severity of dutch refereeing or his playing traits I wouldn't know. Perhaps one of our dutch friends could comment on that.

No idea how it's panning out actually.

Perhaps Osvaldo wasn't so wrong when he called the CONMEBOL committee fat mafioso in suits then.

Hmmm, a lot of DMs and CMs in that list, it's where you need to be hard and uncompromising to be a good player. No room for wimps and fair play statistics lovers in DM I'm afraid.

Niles the hero of Old School Tie by William Boyd? Don't remember him having any great pretentions as a goalkeeper; cricket was more his game IIRC

I thought Bournemouth were looking at him as cover for Boruc, could be wrong.

Looks like a post by Yuki Saki Agogo actually, psychology student at Sussex University,spiritual home of Britains Loony Left or is that Brighton Tech.

Doesn't surprise me actually, I've seen Liverpool on a couple of occasions and Lovren certainly gets through a lot of work in a game. 3 at the back leaves very little room for error and with a passenger like Gerrard in front of them there are always going to be some problems. Mignolet is a bad/iffy keeper as well. Liverpool have gotten it all wrong this season, mainly because of their Gerrard fixation, should have farmed him out last summer and started again. There's very little wrong with them that a decent keeper, a real DM and a striker who actually scores goals won't sort out. Toby has the great advantage of being protected most of the time by 2 players who know how to tackle, know how to take a yellow for the team when they need to and know how to hold the ball up and not put their CBs in trouble. Liverpool on the other hand are absolutely shîte at all of those things.
