Funny you should say that, I thought the same thing. The only thing that I didn't get right though is I was convinced you would call him my Messiah again - but I am sure it will happen soon.

According to Batman we already have a statue of Pelle.....on the pitch!

I am not sure if that is a problem. The players must read the papers and will know what other players are earning. I am sure their agents tell them what they could be earning if they played for "bigger" clubs. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to know that you are better of wages wise and career wise playing for a "big" club. Cup Finals, CL football, better class of WAG - what isn't there to like? I doubt if anyone ever signed for Liverpool just because Gerrard whispered in their ear that his gaffer wanted them. If you are an actor do you want to play the local village hall or would you rather be in the West End? I don't think that tapping up or playing for your country is as big an issue as players agents. They are the real problem for clubs like ours or anyone really because there will always be a more lucrative move on the horizon for a quality player.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day!

That particular "bellend" didn't have to put any money into the club. He was the CEO not the owner. How many CEOs put their own money into the business they are running? Lazy posting Alpine, I am sure you can find other things to slag him off about?

1. Subsidise this forum and remove the £5 annual fee 2. Ban Alpine 3. Give Yoshida away 4. Reduce ticket prices/free entry for kids 5. Increase wages for the players and staff

Do you really think that the club would rather sell Vic than keep him?

Like it - but he could also have said "You will find out, he will be playing for you next season."

With the time he is spending on Chelsea's bench right now, perhaps he has qualified for the blue badge?

Good to see he is keeping an eye on his diet. Keep packing those kebabs away fella!

To be fair Lineker usually has good words to say about us.

Lovin the new Maccabees CD.

He wasn't turning cartwheels when we put 8 past Sunderland either. Good to see a manager who thinks there are more important things than the final result.

Ron was very complimentary about him before the match but said that it was the players' decision to leave when it became clear that he wasn't going to be a first pick. Ron was ok with him leave and has no regrets. He said that he is pleased with Cork's progress at Swansea. "He had potential. He was not a young player, he was an important person and player in the group," insisted Koeman. "But always there is a moment for that kind of player, if they accept the role at that moment or they are looking for a new challenge. He took his new challenge." I guess there will always be those who want to believe that Jack Cork was treated badly by the club and that is why he left. From the sound of it to me he was valued but wasn't going to be first choice so he decided to move on.

You'd think!

Anyone know why Jack Cork went off? Injury or tactical?

The doctor should take Glen Hoddle with him. he would sort them pesky pepperpots out!
