Yes but the way you wrote it it sounded as if he was going to Arsenal.

It doesnt say that Wanyama is going to Arsenal. It says that Wenger may be preparing a bid. Two very different things.

Boruc neess to think about some of the howlers he made last season before getting upset about being edged out. You cant do that in the Premiership. I would like him to stay and fight for his place but if he wants out it is no major loss - would like to see a new no 2 in though.

So sad to see booze kill the great George Best and now it looks to be doing the same to Gazza. I hope for his sake that he can be helped but he does look like he is running out of time. Very, very sad.

Spot on!!!!!

The bloke needs to grow a pair and act like a professional. If he wants the no 1 spot he needs to fight for it.

If Rojo's agent was playing the field and waiting for a bigger club to come in for him, what were we supposed to do about that? We are never going to have players come here when they can go to Manchester United.

You really are a little ray of sunshine arent you? You do not know that for certain.

Didnt RK say we werent signing any more CHs?

Hammond C-3 as played by the awesome Mr Keith Emerson of The Nice and ELP fame.

I think coaching is very important. Look at the progress that JRod made. Also playing regularly in competitive matches. If he doesnt get many games with us I'd liketo see him go to a decent Championship side for a bit.

Just as pointless using the very first game as an indicator for the season as it was writing us off as relegation candidates just because the team handt had time to gel. It will probably have thrown the bedwetters that we didnt lose 4 or 5 nil and that the club hasnt been sold yet. The club said clearly they intended to move forward and this game has shown that to be the case. Still probably a couple of players shy of where we need to be but the ship has been steadied and we should kick on from here. Well done to RK and to the squad. A worthy start to the season.

Clearly Alexandra the Meerkat on a wind up!

Like every new season we start with zero points on the board. What happens happens and there is no guarantee that if Pochettino had stayed we would have pushed on from last year. Let us just enjoy the football and see what happens.

Thanks guys

What position does he play?

I used to work for The Guardian (and Times and Telegraph) and the prefered route is a balanced piece rather than a biased piece. That is not to say every article is balanced but the ones from the broadsheets have tended to be unilke the stories we have seen in the Mail.

Good luck, what do you plan to study?

Spoke to my daughter earlier who got a C in English. Wow she said, just think what I could have got if I had tried!

Durham on TalkSport said the story comes from a good source and has legs.

Not at all true Greeridge but I am not going to hang the Board out to dry on half baked gossip, rumour and conjecture. If they say they are not selling up and aim for Europe then until they prove otherwise I am prepared to give them the benefit of the doubt. The people they have brought into the club lends credence to what they say at the moment. If you read my past posts I have been very critical of some Boards. Us oldies have been around a while and seen it all before, that is why we are probably more patient and more forgiving.

Let's hope he lives up to it!

I am not expecting too much against Liverpool but yes, this is a game it would be good to win big in.

So thats the plan? Top 8 in spending if not in the league?

I hope those three will stay, at least until January. I also think that they will keep some money back for future transfer windows - no point in p*ssing it all up the wall in one go if we dont have to!
