You used to mate with Keith Hamilton?

Booing a person when they join a rival football team but then not booing them when they die. Fancy that.

Show some compassion for the poor girl FFS. You can't expect someone to drive for almost an hour in a brand new Bentley. If your wife left you after 7 years for some bloke with more money, would you be thanking her for 7 years of great memories?

Oh no it isn't!

My take on it is than Jose realised his stock was at its highest peak, being 32 years old and having just won the Euro's. He and/or his agent obviously saw this as the opportune moment to try and negotiate his last big pay cheque. Basically Fonte wanted paying for a standard of football he is unlikely to provide at the age of 35. Saints weren't stupid enough to give in to his demands. West Ham it seems were. I thought they might get one decent season out of him but on the basis of yesterday's performance (and several previous for the hammers) I'm beginning to doubt that. Being a 'legend' works both ways. You can't expect to be worshiped for your past achievements if you then sod off to a rival club for nothing other than EVEN MORE money.

People said the same about us in the first couple of years after promotion though. We were generally better liked because of our promising youngsters, mixed with prudent signings from smaller teams and abroad, compared to teams like QPR signing players like Hoilett and Bosingwa on big wages. Arsenal couldn't hold on to the likes of Cashley, Nasri, Adebayor, RVP and now apparently Sanchez. In the long term, I doubt Spurs will be all that much different. I fear once agent become involved, every player tends to end up the same. FWIW my ladder of hate at the moment; Pompey (in so far as one is able to hate an irrelevant entity we may not play for decades) Liverpool Quite a large gap Man Utd (the cup final bumped them up a bit) Everton (More their deluded fans believing Koeman left for anything other than money) Chelsea Spurs (Poch, Wanyama and Toby annoyed me but that has wained a bit) Man City (kind of hard to hate, they're just a soulless money pit)

Disagree, seeing the lose at home (even against Chelsea) in almost the last minute is still pretty funny. I don't think they're doing anything awe-inspiring either. When the likes of Kane, Alli and Eriksen's agents start demanding Pogba, Lukaku and Morata wages, we will see what they're really made of. Especially if they fail to qualify for the Champions League and/or a really big club comes in for Poch. Plus they've spanked plenty of money on under-performing players over the years.

Is this game being played at Wembley? Nobody seems to have mentioned it yet and I haven't seen any aerial shots of the stadium to proved any visual clues.

Is he? Fair enough.

I'd go with the team in the OP but with Sims instead of Long. A bit meaningless really, all depends on the luck of the draw.

Well, that's why we go to the football. Proper rollercoaster of emotions that one, we were crap second half. Went back to Puel like slow possession in the second half and invited them back into the game. From where I was Forster was at fault for their first he looked welded to his line in the minutes leading up to their equaliser. Bertrand and Redmond looked poor and Zabaleta (comfortably West Ham's best player IMO) had the better of them. Yoshida was excellent I though but he needs someone a bit more physical than JS next to him. Thought we were good first half, even against 11 we had the upper hand and scored a very good goal. All came from playing with pace and tempo and passing the ball through first time, not doing a few turns and waiting for 18 players to get behind the ball. Who'd have though... Not that I'm condoning pitch invasions but I did lol at the two Saints mateys at the end, after a handful of their fans invaded following the equaliser.

Johnny Depp as Dani Osvaldo Riz Ahmed (played the lead in Four Lions) as Boufal Jack Black can be Ostlund

A very odd view point from a man who's club has a) Finished below us for the last 4 years running. b) Since promotion not finished higher than 7th, lower than 13th and is on average 11th. c) Played in one cup final since 1981.

I would suggest from the name 'Star Cloud' that they actively want their child to be bullied.

F**k me, who dug you up?

I'll happily drive him to Reading or Burnley personally, I don't see what he offers us. Gabbi can do that but his running is far more effective at creating chances. Long just runs onto balls over the top and is usually offside or misses the target. He might do a reasonable job for a bottom half team who play backs to the wall but I'd like to think we're better than that.

Strange how often people who identify as some form of alternate sexuality are obese, have bizarre hair styles and random bits of metal stuck through their face. It just seems like some weird hipster, next level fashion statement to me. Or maybe they're just a bit ugly and can't get laid, so they're trying something from left field to distract people from it. Don't get me wrong I'm not particularly interested in how people chose to sexually identify, however it seems to me that the people who don't want to be identified as a gender are in fact the ones who spend the most time talking about their gender. Most 'normal' people don't feel the need to talk about it, as it doesn't particularly bare any relevance to life.

Call him Mr Redmond Call him Mr Long Call him Mr Pied

WTF? I can't think of much worse TBH. Big time Charlie on big wages, who wouldn't be arsed.

Absolutely! That noise...

How about some pleasant nostalgia over the last 8 years (and a month or two) 8th August 2009 - Our first game under the new regime - Millwall at home The team for that game: Davis Murty - Thomas - Perry - Harding James - Wotton - Morgan - Lallana Saganowski - Patterson Subs: Bart, Lancashire, Gillett, Holmes, Pulis, Gobern, Thomson Things started sluggishly and even without the minus 10 we were in the relegation zone until October. Then, after losing 3-2 in injury time at home to Bristol Rovers, we turned it around with a 4-1 thumping of Gillingham. Since then we've risen like a Saturn 5 rocket to where we are today. For me the best moments were: - Watching Long score at Anfield at an apres ski bar in January this year. Absolutely bananas - Winning the JPT - Going on the pitch when we were promoted from League 1 after beating Walsall on the last day. - Listening to the radio commentary of the Coventry game and thinking I'd give a kidney to be there. - Forte's 2.5 minutes of fame against MK Dons - Winning away at Millwall with 2 penalties in injury time - Lambert's header at Fratton Park - Winning 1-0 at Old Trafford - Winning 1-0 at Old Trafford again. This time we snatched it at the death. - Billy Sharp's last minute goal against Pompey - The away day at Sunderland when we got a late equaliser to all but secure safety. - Cuco's screamer and beating Arsenal 4-0 (another apres ski bar special for me) - Coming from 2-0 down against Liverpool to win at the death (and again, I should ski more often) - Gabbi's equaliser at Wembley - The 8-0 win against Sunderland, I almost lost my voice. - Only getting to 7 home games in 2014/15 but winning all of them. The low points - Markus' passing away - Making the long trip to Boro, going 1-0 up in the first minute, knowing a win would promote us after Reading drew and f**king it up. - Going out of Europe so weakly against Midgetland and Be'er Sheva - David F**king Norris

TBF we've already got him on a 100ft square banner but we never get to see it.

And Marcos Almeida, don't forget him

They've taken us from bankrupt in League 1, minus 10 and Olly Lancashire to top half Prem, a cup final and a European campaign in 8 years. Can't really ask for more than that. Thank you.

Same team for me. We've got the right idea we just need to get one of our 19 shots past the 'keeper this time.
