But is it any different than previously? I can't recall a time of yesteryear when football was played by gentlemen of integrity.

Is there a point in here?

Comical that absolutely no substance to it and yet will still get coverage. Complete denial by the manager still not enough to carry on reporting it as have a daily rumour mill to fill.

I like all the analysis cheers. So statistically likely to finish higher having 27ots rather than 28 after 12 games. I'll take 28 though.

When was the last time we were 8/11 to win away in PL? Never maybe

Yeah sort of thing Big Sam guffaws at from sidelines

4th favourites for the title now

At least he doesn't come on to threads about other team's results posting 'it's only our game that matters'

Very good

People who aren't interested in other team's result are odd. Suppose they never look at the table either and just enjoy their day out at the game every fortnight. Want Everton and City to lose btw. Swansea and West Ham are not threats IMO

Although players have not have contracts renewed before all this black box talk. I like many others find it hard to see why we haven't tied Cork down expect it maybe cos see Reed's or JWP's progress if it doesn't happen. Clasie isn't a black box thing either. People getting too sucked in by this it seems. It's just analysis - other clubs do it I believe.

I was thinking it must contain some sort of lava lamp

'So clearly' - what a mug

Pure The Thick of It She'd have got my respect if she said I don't want this chavvy cvnt's vote

You'd think Arsenal and Utd would move heaven and earth to get him next season. Assuming he carries on playing as well as he has been. Cheers for posting

There is no manager in the world I'd rather have than Ronald.

Is there a shortage of PR people available? Their chairman not exactly playing a blinder blaming the mob. Are they getting no advice!

Yeah we have really missed JWP

PL Fantasy Football has Tadic, Davis and Schneiderlin as injured (75% likely to play) is all I can think of

Frightening as bookies have ITV as big favourites at 1/2. BBC 6/4. FFS No please

Aren't the Guardian types all over it anyway?

I'd never thought I would tire of Lawro thread but completely exhausted now

Stupid for what he said but teh outrage at everything is getting to ridiculous levels. All these holier than thou sorts on Twitter who of course never have said anything inappropriate. Not condoning Whelan's comments in anyway. The Labour MP copping it for chav photo. Again she's stupid but let's not pretend others haven't thought it and not just the Islington set,

Do we get to see a picture of you? No doubt you're a stunner
