Don't be too harsh on Long. He's scored twice already, he's only got 4 more goals to last the entire season.

I think certain media organisations and politicians would still report this as 'a heated debate both sides feel passionately about'.

Fonte will be 32 next summer, I've no idea why you think he has a big money move on the horizon. J Rod has a lot to do to prove he is still good enough for Saints before he can start dreaming bigger. Pelle will be 31 next summer and has had a fairly modest career in the Prem. Forster could yet miss the whole season and wasn't anything astonishing last season. Cedric needs to prove he is can defend before anyone above Saints will look twice at him.

Wanyama, Mané and...

Just bought Creswell for my FF team so this makes sense. I bought Gomis too, so expect a miraculous turn in form for Sunderland.

Man Utd draw 0-0 at home to Newcastle. The rest are about to kick off.

For I can't see any case against it, other than people trying to impose their religious beliefs on others. My Grandmother died of Alzheimer's a few years ago. We knew the day was coming for the best part of a decade after she was diagnosed. I've no idea if she would have wanted to end her life earlier than she did but she at least deserved the option.

It isn't about being right or wrong for him, it's purely about attention. There is no point trying to argue with him because he genuinely could not care less if he is right. As long as people are paying attention to him, that's all he needs. I kind of feel sorry for him that he has to resort to such sad behavior for people to pay attention to his life.

You can't tell the difference between writing a player off after 3 years and writing him off within 2 months and 8 days of signing? Gaston looked very promising when he first signed and was one of our best players until he was injured. Now is another matter, he's failed to deliver fairly consistently and doesn't seem to have the drive and desire to get fit and into the team.

No, it's all to do with inertia. You will maintain the same velocity until a force acts upon you to change that velocity. Once you jump in the air, the force of the train engine stops acting on you, so you will maintain the same velocity whilst the train continues to accelerate. The net effect will be you move backwards relative to the train. Of course in this situation the air inside the train will continue to accelerate, so instead of air resistance then air will be pushing you forward and cause you to accelerate, albeit by a completely negligible amount.

Actually I don't get what you mean as a players contract means everything. It's our choice whether or not we sell a player, he will only be gone if someone is willing to pay us what we think he is worth.

Actually they mean United have to pay us a massive amount of money to take him off us. If he didn't have a contract he would be going there for free.

From who? Nonsense IMO.

And Felaini, Lescott, Rodwell, Arteta and Gravesen.

And Sigurdsson, in a similar way to how we lost Toby. Michu sort of, until he got injured. Swansea don't really have any high profile players, just a solid squad with a decent team ethic. If they had anyone like Clyne or Morgan they would lose them too.

An option to buy only works if: a - The player actually wants to sign for us b - We don't have some weird buy out clause which completely negates the point of an option to buy in the first place. Neither of those was the case with Toby but we've used it in the past to our advantage with players like Chaplow, Rasiak and Saganowski.

And yet there he is. The point stands; it doesn't matter who he might end up playing for next year, if a player is good enough to play for us now we'd be foolish not to take him on loan. If I told you a year ago that Spurs would sign Toby this summer after his loan, would you still have taken him? Whether you think Januzaj is good enough or not is a separate issue. If that's the case then fair enough.

You're probably right, got me thinking though, imagine if Yugoslav was still one unified country. They would have one heck of a team. Begovic, Lovren, Srna, Rakitic, Modric, Pjanic, Mandzukic, Dzeko, Vidic, Corluka, Jovetic all in the same squad.

If he's a good player he's worth having, even on loan. It's like saying we were only developing Toby for Spurs, when actually he played a vital part in getting us into the Europa League. Just because he will go back to Man U potentially a better player doesn't mean he can't DAJFU. Supposing I could guarantee he would come here and score 30 League goals, then go back to Man U. Would you still be against signing him? Obviously I can't but we shouldn't turn players down just because they're on loan. Think how much worse we'd have been in our first League 1 season without Waigo and Antonio.

Christ knows I wish you wouldn't bother. It's like repeatedly explaining to the forum what bears do in the woods. It's not about developing him for Man U, if he is good enough to add something to our team at relatively low cost then it's a no brainer. I'm not really convinced by AJ yet but he does look better than Elia, Djuricic and JWP, which seems to be the bench mark for us.

Hire some wannabe artist to come and adjust the splatter to look like Jesus. Then claim it as a divine miracle and sell it to the papers. Sorted.

Would be interested to see how a Serb and a Kosovan get on in training.

Not sure. Perhaps they can cut it off, chop it into 4 pieces and send them back to headquarters.

How's that a handball from 2 yards away?

Aaaaaaand it's another MLG thread. Bye everyone!
