We should refuse to sell to Spurs out of principle.

Turkish was 100% looking for bites. I wasn't expecting him to get any but fair play to him.

We will find out another potential opponent from Italy soon. Juventus are 10 minutes away from winning the Coppa Italia so that means Sassuolo would gain a spot. AC Milan must win to get that spot but it looks like that won't be happening.

Is any club interested in Tadic? He might want out but if their are no suitors then he'll have to stay put. Juanmi, well that has come as a surprise! Pelle - getting on a bit, and in both seasons he has had poor spells. He's a good striker but we will need someone more consistent. Mané and Wanyama are not surprising either. Wanyama will go for less given his contract situation but I just hope we refuse to sell him to Tottenham. He can go to any club he chooses, just not them. I think Mané is too inconsistent and wherever he goes he will be a massive flop. Sell for £30M and bring in someone better for half the price. I'm more worried about losing Koeman tbh. The club has shown that we can replace players who leave.

The other thing is I want to see West Ham in Europe. I think they could really push on next season so hopefully having a few extra matches could hinder them like it could hinder us.

Apparently Everton scouts were keenly tracking Webster too. The Ipswich fans seem very happy with the transfer deal, so perhaps McInnes has sold a bit too early. I wonder if they will spend the money wisely, like improving the academy facilities, or removing the fat from the pipes...? Or will it be spent on another mercenary looking for one last payday?

Apparently if West Ham qualify for the 3rd qualifying round then they'll have to find an alternate venue because the Olympic Stadium won't be ready in time

I hope the club's policy of not dealing with Daniel Levy continues.

Sorry, I meant to say isn't made up!

As long as the expansion is NOT made up of B Teams.

Maybe Pardew is actually standing on Ronald's left and he's the one who was cropped out

When Portsmouth went extinct, they should've started again at Moneyfields and worked their way up the leagues like Wimbledon did. And now they could be playing in a division higher. That's what you call poetic justice. Cheats never prosper. It's wonderful to see a fan owned club doing so well.

The home is alright. The away, I'd hate it to be that colour. And far too much blue for my liking. I'm hoping for a return to a black away kit or a yellow one.

17 seconds in the second half and Sevilla equalise

Sturridge scores. Good goal by him.

100%. Only Crystal Palace can stop us from our place in the group stages. A Liverpool win would (marginally) increase our UEFA co-efficient as well but I'm not sure by how much exactly.

I think Cook is going for quality over quantity What could possibly go wrong?

I've misquoted him somewhat, which is my fault. He's talking about selling 10,000 season tickets at more expensive prices than last season so they sign a player worth 4k a week to rip up League 2.

The Promotions XI need the nuns to spur them on!

Great to see Nigel Adkins back. Out of all the videos, this one is my favourite

That particular quote was from our old friend Corporate Ho

On POL they have a 'reasons to be cheerful thread'

They got relegated for a reason. We should be aiming to sign players of a much higher quality.

At least Brighton wouldn't be as annoying as the Bournemouth fans. Brighton have their own rivalry with Palace so that would keep them occupied. Perhaps next season will be our year when we finally get to play the skates in the cup.
