Does Lennon really still play for Spurs?

You made it out of Liverpool alive!

Thorne out for 9 months with cruciate ligament damage. You can't make this shit up. :(

lol WTF is a horror session?
The lack of football doesn't seem to have gone done well with the Missus as an excuse for a bunk up.

Feel for the lad. Deserved a full season to get his career going. Thanks for the money though.

You're welcome. Thankfully it's not the same knee he did before and he will hopefully be back before the end of the season. We were doing alright without him last season, but when he got in the team we were so much better. I've got no doubt if he can get over this rotten luck with injuries that we will more than get our monies worth out of him.

I hope so. If you have bad knees at his age though it doesn't bode well.

Scunthorpes alex brown looked good when he came on for the final ten minutes in last nights pre season friendly against yentzing fc. I wonder what this means for next season? When asked by guardian journo corndog blackfoot he replied 'shouldnt you be getting laid?'

Carroll out for up to 4 months with ankle ligament damage.

He's always crocked, like a white, fat Diaby.

Is his lifestyle having a detrimental affect?

A proper donkey. Too much booze
Thats another relegation battle to look forward to

More silly season nonsense from the press. Well run clubs have lots of people involved in the whole transfer process not just the head coach/manager who will be in post 2 years maximum. It's also a modern world with DVD and digital film. 'I saw that messi on youtube the other day. Looks pretty good although I've never seen him live so would be a risky punt'.
Less news - more yentzing

Drogba confirmed to be going back to Chelsea. I bet Lampard and Cole are over the moon about that.
