The bloke is a cock.

Atleti fall into the category of clubs such as Villareal, Valencia and Deportivo. They have been very fortunate on 'stumbling' across a decent crop of players and building around them. There will always be a third team that challenges the top two like Valencia previously did. Unfortunately, Atleti will not kick on after 2016 season and that's the opinion of myself and a friend attending University in Madrid who has adopted them as his home team.

I've heard some cracking horror stories about Laudrup. I very nearly took a job there not so long ago, thankfully I didn't.

Good effort Hull, more interested in Atleti!!!!!!!

Decent little stat right there.

Just finished too. One of my favourites. I am now moving on to Spain:The Inside story of La Rojas treble.

Watched the final episode of series 1 tonight. WOW.

You entitled to you opinion but in future.... don't ever post anything like that again.

Agree with this and a number of people mentioned him a number of times but unfortunately the closest we will get to him is via Football Manager.

Saints need to be very strong and wait till after the world cup. If they have a crap WC, they will still hold their current value. Should they excel, we have the right to hold clubs to ransom. The boys will get their moves eventually and hopefully respect the reality of it all.

Following on from the thread about 'leftback' the poster who went into hiding before being hailed as ITK. Glasgow has now decided that if he buggers off for a bit we will believe he actually has a clue what he's talking about.

To be fair, our work stuff is Nike and they have been brilliant. They have given me so much equipment and clothing in one season than I did with adidas over three years at my last club.

Very tired of this now. I really don't care if he goes. Lovely bloke, very intelligent and has been welcoming on the two occasions I met him. Just so tired of the fact it 'appears' his head is easily turned. Then again I am not convinced there is a correct way of dealing with speculation other than coming out and saying 'I'm going nowhere'.

It shouldn't anymore, I no longer have contact from anyone at that level just the academy.

Every time I have visited this website today Norton has informed me of an attack from 'www.download-servers.com' (Unfortunately I am not computer savy when it comes to crap like this) Stay safe.

All the right and honest noises. We do have to accept, to be self sustainable we will have to sell a player every now and then.

For anybody with City/WHU on the telly WTF did Fat Sam have down his face just then?

Aye? Aren't you based in the UK, how are you watching on SKY?

Decent streams? Sportsnation being gash today

I said that the B team isn't the solution in my opinion. Not once did I endorse it, I endorse the fact they are trying to be pro active and 90% of people have nothing constructive to add.

I will read tonight.

True stats but see my last post.

Additionally Saints didn't discuss the matter with the FA as the clubs belief is a players education and development should be here.

This country & board really ****ing winds me up sometimes: The commission has set targets and an overall generic improvement in our game. They have looked at what other countries do successfully and also looked at we need to do. We need our own identity not just copying word for word from another country (too many variables). Europe envy our 92 tier system, the fact a non league team can get 3-4k at a game is incredible. We are an Island mentality and hate change. Dyke has set a target and challenge as opposed to just collecting his salary. The research included talking to grassroots volunteers, average football fan, academy and pro club staff and other national leagues. How about as a nation, we back our FA who have been accused of being an old boys club and complacent in the past and recognise they are being more pro-active. He openly admits the finer details need improving and this isn't the complete solution. Instead of finger pointing and ridiculing, why don't you propose an idea that won't be ridiculed? I don't agree with the B league but believe financial rewards should be given to clubs who meet criteria around homegrown squad selections? (As football is so money orientated). Just FYI the Belgium & German FA's have conducted study trips to St George's Park over the last 12 months and absolutely love what we are doing around coach education. We are leading the way in youth coach education.

Not exactly! But I do work with children everyday, work with grassroots/pro clubs plus we give them away so it's pretty easy to be bitten by the bug.
