Why dont you just **** of back to POL, and take Glasgow and Barry with you (if you arent all the same person).

Former Dutch footballer Niels Kokmeijer succesfully sued Rachid Buauzon (spelling) for a tackle that ended his career. Kokmeijer at the time played for (at the time second division) Go Ahead Eagles and Buauzon for Sparta Rotterdam. Buauzon was given a suspended jail sentence of 6 months and 200 hours of community service. This is the tackle, I have to say, its pretty horrific and not a nice sight.

Pleased to see some progress with selecting the new board. Would be nice if the club can get the board together in the next few weeks, give MP a new deal and start working on the squad for next season.

Of the other u19 players, how many of them have made their PL debut for their respected clubs?

Yes, he's a good manager and I hope stays here for a long time (unlike some cretins on here).

And suddenly Glasgow Saint is nowhere to be seen, coincidence?

Congrats to the woman curling team winning bronze. But now to more serious stuff, who's your favourite member of the womans curling team? Wouldn't mind Eve Muirhead coming round one evening for a bit of fun

Here in The Netherlands people are going crazy about the Olympics and especially the ice skating. Its like a world cup with some taking the afternoon of to watch their hopefulls win. The banter at work is hillarious with my colleagues asking me how GB are doing and telling me all about the medals Holland have won. I enjoy watching the skiing and snowboarding, but havent paid that much attention the games, prefer the summer Olympics.

After reading all this negative stuff and why are season is over after the FA cup exit, its time for a topic on why the 2013-2014 season is great. So no whinging, complaining, calling each other happy clappers or trolls, just comment on why this season has been great for you/us. Why this season has been great so far for me, - 1-0 win at Liverpool - 4-1 win over Hull - Drawing 2-2 and outplaying Arsenal for most of the game - Osvaldo,s goal against City - Our style of play - Chambers and Gallagher making their debut

Theres something about this high rise climb/walk I like...... Think its the white trainers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAVqLpSxllI

Well, if I had all the time in the world to scour the internet looking for gossip, I would also sound ITK. But I have this thing called work, a social life, other interests and better things to do then spend every second of the day on the internet. Would reconmend you also try to get out more.

Are you capable of playing around 50 football matches in 10 months, plus training and travelling around the country? If doping was legal, I would say yes, the players could play every match.

To all who are whinging about the team selection, theres this thing called periodization. When you push your body to max, it needs time to recover. When you dont give it enough time to recover you can get 'overtrained', and as our high pressing game means the players have to be incredibly fit, its likely some players will be nearing that. When overtrained, you become more injury prone, have low energy levels and feel weak. So making all these changes is necessary for the players fitness levels.

Not convinced of Meulensteen as a head coach, but as an assistant he is one of the best around. Wouldn't mind seeing Meulensteen as a coach in our academy.

Maya has been in good form lately, but the Lovren/Fonte partnership has worked well most of the season. It will be a hard decision for MP to make.

Just like Josh Mceachran, wasnt to long ago Chelsea fans were saying he was the next big thing.

Exactly, lets go and have a look around Arsenals acadamy and offer their best player a place in our acadamy. He is far more likely to break through here and become a better player then at Arsenals acadamy. Adriansfc also makes a good point regarding loans for young players.

What has happened to Crouch? He used seem a decent bloke, now he`s has been a whinging c*nt.

Condolences to Sam and his family. Cant imagine how hard it must be for someone to lose a close relative at such a young age.

I just noticed I forgot to put the at the end of the last sentence. This guy told me Cole would leave at the end of the season and Shaw would be their No 1 left back next season, his source was that Shaw is a Chelsea fan and always wanted to play for them (so he said)

Hope Targett is ready to slot in at LB next season, Chelsea fan I spoke to told me its 100% certain Shaw is coming to them in the summer...

I think MP is the key to player retention, get him to extend his contract and I can see some players turning down moves to bigger clubs. Plus that he gives the youth a chance, meaning the acadamy players will stay.

Didnt notice him being a bit heavy yesterday, prob due to dodgy stream. However with the players Stoke have, we need a bit of muscle to stop us being pushed around the park. And if VW can get back to the form he had prior to his injury he could def do a job. That said, before or after his injury, VWs passing does make me sweat.

Stick with the same team that started the second half yesterday, then/if we are leading bring Wanyama on in the second half to protect the defence.

Need a strong half time talk from Pochetino, we havent been poor, but can also play a lot better!
