Pardew has made some interesting signings. Palace could do an us this season.

This is clearly an issue with the girlfriend and not the cat. The police are right not to consider taking action against his feline companion.

Missed one. Or Stoke.

Depending on what you read he is in talks with either, Saints, Liverpool or Aston Villa.

Yes I know. My point was that Fergie was saying that it was hard for the players to pick each other out in grey. Hard to see. Get it?

Interesting you say this as I was looking at kits from the 60s the other day and to me they look much better. My all time favourite was the kit that we won the World Cup in. Simple but effective and that shade of red was perfect.

Tell that to Fergie when they wore grey and we stuffed them.

Shouldn't need a third kit if you get the second kit colour right. As for the green. Horrible.

Perhaps he is going to make a bid for his wife?

Werent we being linked with him last season before he started scoring goals? I seem to remember us not being impressed at the time. He clearly had a purple patch but will need to do it again this season.

Glad to see we have our scapegoat sorted before the Premiership kicks off!

The gossip also says that we have failed in a bid for 30 year old defender Nicolas Lombaerts for £5m.

It will grow and at the point there is serious money to be made from it there will be more interest from the likes of SKY. Could take a while though.

You are right in that there hasn't been a lot of media noise about this one. The thing that makes me think there is something in it is that Celtic do like to keep hold of players until they qualify for the CL proper and there doesn't seem to be anyone else on the horizon just yet.

Don't agree at all Sarnia. Of course he has gone but to say he has no value any more. Talk to people who saw Ron Davies or Terry Paine or Mick Channon play for us and tell them the players no longer have a value. There is no nostalgia without having worth remembering and rickie certainly gave us something to remember. We don't keep going on about the Ox or Shaw for a simple reason, they didn't score shedloads of goals that got us back into the Premiership. We keep going on about Rickie because he was a quality player who delivered the goods. And he did not start the exodus and even if he did, it was not down to RL that the others b*ggered off.

His legs went to Liverpool the same way that Lovrens head went there.

Really Sarnia? Have you read some of the posts here?

To be fair Alpine, when things don't go the way you want or happen when you want you do tend to blame the Board of incompetence.

This is all very well but we have one of the smallest and emptiest trophy cabinets going. Before we are held up as a shining example of how a club should be run we need to start winning things. Until then we will continue to find it difficult to keep the top players here.

He might not be of value to us anymore but his goals got us where we are now and there are many fans who will never forget his contribution to our journey, even if there are some who seem to want to tarnish his good name.
