Sour Mash

I don't really disagree with anything you say, but my point still stands. It'll be an interesting appointment whoever they go for.

Not really. A successful year in the Prem will always count for more than anything Adkins has done to date.

Well that's that then. Would be a class team to have involved, can't see it being great football mind, being played that early.

Rumours from where?

Good shout. Can keep Michael Owen company in the treatment room.

Don't think your worry should be the weather, more a guess of getting a decent amount of play before a likely result.

Anyone else not really rate Welbeck either?

Agreed, would be a decent set-up for international football that. As said by others, f**k knows how Downing is involved and Henderson is even standby. Crouch should also be involved.

Any coincidence that Crouch's caps gave dried up now he's no longer playing for a 'big' club?

It wouldn't necessarily require all match day tickets to sell out, just the additional spent on them (plus £3 booking fee) to outweigh what would have been earnt from season ticket sales - a figure no-one can know and very difficult to model/predict.

Why do you hate Lampard?

Agrred, unbelievable the stick that Lampard gets, quality footballer, decent attitude, never get why anyone has a problem with him.

Right, so you know what the installment plan is going to be? Can you post up the details here for the rest of us? Will the Family Centre occupy the same area next season as well? Cheers.

Nah, pick the best team possible, that has the best chance of winning games.

The whole Cappelo set up was an absolute joke and shows what an unaccountable mess the FA hierachy are - how much do you think Capello and his staff cost us all told? £40/50m? And for what?

Yeah I bet they're gutted after winning the title by a massive margin.

But when will they announce details? For example, any change to family stand. Would be useful to know about installment plans as well in advance.

But that was when they go on sale wasn't it? Think the question was when actual details will be released - prices, payment plans, different charges in different parts of the ground etc......

Same as last year. We're not all that bothered about selling season tickets, as selling out with loads of fans paying per match makes the club a lot more money I reckon.

Loving the attention of the cameras and glory one would imagine? Can't see him being part of our future regardless. Rubbish track record in terms of attitude and nowhere near enough talent to compensate for it.

I'd just ask them outright over the phone 'If you're going to sack me just tell me now and I'll fly off to Florida for two weeks instead'.

Bit harsh making him fly all the way out to India just to be told he's sacked.

Would always take the police account's of these situations with a pinch of salt. The "Drunk entering a football stadium" law is a joke that they pick and choose when to use. Also, does a bloke acting like a prat at the football really require a full page article in the Echo? Is there really no other more interesting news or stories to focus on?

Thought I'd read that Gattuso was struggling due to his eyesight. If he's fit enough for another season I'd almost be tempted to get a year out of him at Saints. Can see the obvious pull of Rangers though.

Can't really see Gattuso playing for anyone again unfortunately, quality player to have on your side, he'd have been class in the Prem.
