I'd quite like André Villas-Boas but guess he wouldn't be interested

Seems quite a sensible way of doing IMO. Come the end of the season, things can then be looked at with a bit less urgency. Big thing here, is that he's free (ie not having to quit a job) and that there's presently only his old club that has a vacancy. As for the club covering themselves, all reports are that they have been tracking him for a while. If they didn't have faith, then they could leave Selles in place

No idea if he speaks English, but while not buying compatriots, they will of course be pretty important to get them settled and up and running. A pretty huge upheaval for an 18 year old to make.

Why? A sweetener for having it mid season.

Clubs get a payment of c £8.5k a day for players at WC,

Not sure if it has been asked before, but who receives the payment for Bednarek being at the WC, us or Villa?

Penalty shoot outs..... I hate them and actually never bother to stay to watch them, well at least not last night or the previous one we had. I thought that I was alone in this, but was surprised by the number of people who, like me, left at full time.

Just back. Didn't stay for the penalties - can't stand them. We were utter ****.

Told some Man C fans that last season. Said they were there to have fun and weren't causing an issue. I said they were diluting home support which seemed to be lost on them.

No....on reflection, that was a bit short sighted of me Think I might drop a line to someone. Anyone in particular one should email? Always get an away supporter or two around me and it's a bit annoying TBH

Had a few kicked out of block 29. I sat next to a very pretty one. I asked straight up Saints or Arsenal, which she couldn't lie to. Then blew smoke up me jacksie saying how she liked Southampton, and how it was nice to get out of London. Then the killer line...."it was impossible to get away tickets". Me, I'd bring in a system that no one can buy Category A game tickets if they haven't any purchase history, and not just Category A game history either. Simple really.

Might be fun...

Another manager who HAS to choose players from the big clubs, even when they aren't playing. Plus ça change.

Last time I enjoyed watching England was Italia 1990

Is it wrong that I wanted us to lose?

I can't believe what the co commentator has just said while defending Southgate's ineptitude. "He's got players who aren't playing for their clubs". Well FFS if that is the case, chose other players who are playing for their clubs.

Are we the most boring national team to watch? This is so turgid I think I might start catch up on Celeb Master Chef instead

FFS he's mentioned Bednarek again!

Yup, dreadful commentators.

Glad it wasn't me mishearing that!!!!

Was listening to talkSport and the bloke was going on about LCFC and said he hoped that they would be able to give MUFC more of a game than we did!!! I thought we gave MUFC a decent game and that we were unfortunate to come away with nothing.

Aye, about as different as you could get to a double page spread in the Echo!!

Maybe I'm seeing things through rose tinted glasses, but as good byes go, that was by far the best one I've ever heard.
