'David Moyes has a good record of getting the best out of players that didn’t quite cut it at teams like Chelsea and Manchester United.' Who was the last Chelsea player we took on? As we havent been able to compete wage wise for there cast offs since Abramavich took over. Only now since the huge TV deal could we even entertain taking/paying a fringe player from them.

That's not cricket!

At worst I thought it would end up going more towards bragging about having a poop and only having to give yer bum a courtesy wipe. Nah, I wish, havent been drunk for a good couple of weeks. Chin up, could be worse, imagine being a Liverpool fan. When you have a good week come and have a shout in this thread, a general happiness diary for yer.

No need to watch cricket this year, the off season has been sorted: French Open, Euro's, Wimbledon, Olympics. With F1 every other week and football rumours to keep busy in-between, then preseason friendlies to fill the gap and build up this seasons football in August. Good times

It was very old Tony Hibbert-esque, you'll get to shout at both flanks next season.

Was very poor defending, backed off far too much.

+1. Was moaning about my eyes being irritated then felt bad when I seen a girl who looked like she had smoked an ounce of weed her eyes were so red, poor girl was still trooping on working in a fast food place.

Scharner and Martin Petrov would both improve our squad. Could be useful if we swapped/could afford more of a rotation system. Just incase the Grant Holt rumours are true, Kevin Davies is a cheaper alternative Crock watch: Woodgate, Hargreaves, Dunne, and Owen. All very good players but too risky, worth taking on pay as you play deals.

Opposite of what grinds your gears thread, so post anything thats upped your positivity or that you're just happy about in general. So basically a thread I can post in and not be a moaning Myrtle. Open to suggestions for the title (I couldnt remember the ones suggested in the shout box yesterday). Any how, I had been struggling to get my head round a subject, so had a day away from revising it. Come back to it and it magically all makes sense. Dont know if its my brain subconsciously figuring it out or my head was just unable to think from tiredness, but I'm happy now either way.

Thank feck for that, rather stick with what we have than bring Naismith in.

I like Kelly but his form was terrible at the end of the season, not ready for international football. Hibbert has earned the opportunity, but the England set up doesnt seem to use the merit system.

4th Official 'Stoke have signed Adam Thomas and Ben Heneghan from Everton's academy both on 1 year deals, no fees involved' Dont know much of them myself. Guessing no big loss?

Richards cant defend, only good at bombing forward. Richards with Walcott right hand side would be a blessing to the opposition. Hibbert's been the best rb in the league this season imo.

Hopefully Hibbert (or Neville) will get a call up deserves it, and much better than Phil Jones. Also got no idea how Osman has no caps as well.

If someone done that to you in a game wouldnt you go Joey Barton on them? As personally I've flipped on team mates for challenges like that. He's in the air and has no control over his challenge, then carried through with his studs. I'm all for win the ball take the man, but not like that Neville on Ronaldo is how its done fairly or Hibberts(when he's won the ball first like).

Have you ever played football? He's dived in the air and went right through him studs first. If he had stayed on the floor it would have been a fair challenge, but saying that, they'd be less momentum and he'd of got no where near the ball.

8-8 Oldham v Huddersfield or Wimbledon v Soton

You'd have McFadden over all them players?

Gerrard is a disgrace, why would anyone dive in like that in a friendly. Sunday league you'd end up getting your leg broken after pulling a stint like that.

Quick summary for anyone too lazy to click. Main stat that sticks out for me is on average we lose 10 games a season, this year we'd lost 9 in the first half alone. And some stats are hard to believe 'Jags is ranked 10th in the top flight for most accurate long balls per game (6.6) with a 57% accuracy.' Leon Osman is vital for us, only winning 20% of games w/o him, opposed to 46% with him. 'When Fellaini has started in the midfield – forward pivot role we have scored 2.3 goals per game with the Belgian scoring or assisting 5 goals in the process in these games alone.' Team of the seaon Howard Hibbert Heitinga Distin Baines Osman Neville Gibson Pienaar Felliani Jelavic

We'd risk doing a Leeds going into more debt, we'd need guaranteed champs league football next season to pay the banks back.

http://m.guardian.co...-evra&cat=sport Suarez story is back. Joke that Barton got suspended longer than this man. Old woman carrying bags of shopping passes Anfield, when one of the directors notices her and shouts can you manage dear. Old woman shouts FUCK OFF I don't want the job!

This will probs strengthen the rumour as united will need a lb next season 4th Official: Manchester United's Fabio will be loaned out to QPR next season

Add Nesta and Materazzi to the Italians, had the same squad for two decades

The Olsen twins and their little sister should come in, and go out with me Out: Mucha Cahill 4 Yobo 4 Coleman 4 *Jagielka 8 Baines (nothing against Baines, I'd just prefer to keep Felli given the choice) 15 In: Dempsey 5 *Kalou free Barnetta free Richardson 2 *Cuellar (as 4th choice) free 12 mil to the bank and 16 left over for if a winger and striker better than we have becomes available. Weaker at LB, but overall the defence will be more solid as no Jags means no Jags-Distin partnership. Better going forward and hopefully a less predictable, more evenly distributed play(as no Baines). *unlikely Like to see more of: Barkley, Baxter, Garbutt, and Brown
