try it, you might find you like it

Thats what i mean! what if he doesn't come now, they'll all seem a bit silly.

He has already signed a pre-contract agreement or some such

I wouldn't even wear a Chelsea shirt...

Wiping your arse on something wouldn't technically count as 'wearing' it

You could wear comedy hipster glasses. Oh wait...

There should be a spare Everton shirt about for the next 30 days.

Looks like Liverpool have got Reina's replacement sorted.

Hey, have there been any more badge redesigns?

What a savage. A perfect fit.

New Napoli coach Rafael Benitez wants to sign Liverpool defenders Martin Skrtel and Daniel Agger, both 28, plus midfielder Lucas Leiva, 26, along with Barcelona star Javier Mascherano, 28.

Not usually a fan of Paul Wilson, but interesting article on Stoke and why they've appointed MArk Hughes..

Think they are a bit too happy with his transfer acumen, as its been nothing to write home about in his last few jobs, but as I've been cheerleading for every club to have a healthy academy, I thought this was enlightening..

"We have to become more sustainable," Coates explained. "At present ours is the third-highest net spend in the Premier League, and for a club of this size that's not where we want to be. It's not really where we can afford to be. If there is one blot on the Premier League it is that there is so much debt around. As a league we are awash with money, but clubs should be more self-financing. There's no point in having all this money if we all keep pouring it into black holes."

Hughes is inheriting the Premier League's most expensive squad outside the Champions League positions, with a brief to rein back on the spending a little while setting a course for a top-10 finish. "There's no new direction as such," Coates said. "We just want to make the structures within the club work a little better. We want a manager who will help with the academy and be supportive of young players, because there's a real problem in England with what happens to players between the age of 18 and 21. At the same time we are keen to improve our record in the transfer market. Basically we want to do recruitment well, because that is one of the keys to running a successful club. And recruitment isn't just about bringing people in, it's about selling as well as buying

Bye bye to stoke then Corny.

Still at 3/1 for relegation, only marginally different from the odds of Liverpool going down.

piss poor trolling

no, that's what we've got you for on here dicki!

i thought my trolling was improving
i stand corrected

You should start your pre-season training now then.

In preparation for the Intertoto Cup.

Your form is too inconsistent dicki. Good some days, smashing the smaller posters with some fine wit. Up against the bigger posters on the thread you just fall flat. You are the trolling equivalent of your own team. Next year dicki. Next year.

So does anyone know why Victor Valdes is leaving Barcelona? Just for the money, or just for the money?

Have no idea why a successful keeper, would leave a successful club?

Also it starts a bit of a keeper merrygoround..

See it as an act of generosity, give another goalie the chance to play for Barcelona. He's won absolutely everything and wants to call it a day. Perhaps see what its like to play in a different league and test himself on a different level. I reckon it should be lauded not loathed. He is reportedly earning >€4m per year at Barcelona, after tax so I can't see it being a question of money.

cool, thought that might be a possibility, but in our money centred game couldn't see past the obvious.

on another note, Abidal is leaving Barcelona as well.

We've been linked with an 'ambitious' bid to sign Carlton Cole in our bid to secure a top-half finish.

What mixer goes well with domestos for a nice summery cocktail?
