Cannot believe Sturridge went for free, he's a crackin' young talent. Perhaps we could get him on loan as he's unlikely to break into the Chelski first time yet. Big player for the future though. He went for free cos he was out of contract, but im sure City dont mind as they wont miss the money. Wo...

Fwank special IIRC

FiNeRaIn Leaving your post after being given an opportunity you haven't repaid is poor.

Last I looked Watford didn't relegated last season, so I'd say Brendan repaid the opportunity in spades

But then I'm not on a wind-up

Barry the bird boggler I recognised Ron Yeats long before I noticed Steve hiding in the back row

He's a collosus

BTW I think Russ Allen is my favourite in there

Surely there's 1 year left on a 1 year rolling contract?

Although I don't know why we've had to pay more than the contracually obliged figure of 500K

You must be quite excited H, you'll get to see your heroes in the (ample) flesh

SHORT AND CURLY I think the fake hoops have had 9 managers in 5 years. Some feat that.
Perhaps they are in competition with them Geordie folk.

Just like Real Madrid

Good windup Tredds, who is it really?

Fortunately I'll be on holiday then

Last summer Gareth Barry tried to engineer a move to Liverpool by kicking off in the media about being desperate to play in the Champions League. He's now signed for Man City who last time I looked weren't in Europe at all next season. Does anyone know what has attracted hime to the oil rich excessi...

TBM Thing is, being Real Madrid manager is just not stable enough - how many managers have they had in the past 10 years (anyone know?)

Commentator said last night that next year Raul will be playing for his 16th coash in 15 years

Very pleased to hear on Sky's coverage of Osasuna-Madrid last night that CD Tenerife will be back in the big time next year

I thought it was a shockingly poor game but cwedit to Fwank, that was a good finish. Obviously if I was an Everton fan I'd be disappointed the defenders allowed him to slowly get off his fat arse to shoot

Dirk Gently And this is partly the reason that Peter Crouch - amazingly - lacks the basic techniques of heading the ball.

I've always thought ladders' problem was that wingers can't put in a cross that he doesn't have to crouch (ho ho) for, attuned as they are to delivering the ball for people of normal height

Ideal Looks a bit suspect:

Will he be able to continue presenting the Radio 1 breakfast show?

firstdivision What a contrast they were to the spoilt brat mentality that we see with Chelsea.

And you think that Fergie, Rooney, Ferdinand, Roaldo (to name just a few) would not have gone ballistic if they had lost 1-0 and had four cast iron penalties turned down?

Who has done?

Hoop Blah Obviously you need to know when to keep the ball and take the sting out of the game.

Basically you've got to hold and give but do it at the right time yeah?

But who might otherwise not get the chance to appreciate there's a football team playing in his own town?

Well done Mike for trying to take the heat off RB with that load of guff btu really he is the king of nonsense on these threads.

Seriously RB what do you want? And when the club don't personally deliver the moon on a stick to your front door how upset will you be?

papereyes The two times England have reached a final it was on home turf.

What was the second final? The Umbro Cup?
