Pele's autobiography was a brilliant read in my opinion. Even though he was before my time, he's still a football legend and really enjoyed it. Also, I quite enjoyed the secret footballer books. Understand these aren't to everybody's liking, but some fascinating stories.

Indeed.

"if you could pick anybody other than your self for the player of year award, who would you pick?" Forster: "me? I've been ****ing **** this year, I've barely saved a thing" Quote from the player awards the other night. At Least he has a sense of humour

Sorry if I've missed the post with all these in, but if you'd like to share any of your best bits from yesterday? I know we had a similar thread when we won the jpt, and yes I know we didn't win but would still be good to have it all in once place. Particularly if anybody has a good photo maybe from club Wembley in the man united end of the lights on for Markus? Thanks

When we've been to old Trafford the past couple of times, we've taken a walk down to media city for something to eat etc. Went to the war museum one time, and you can also see the coronation street studios as well. Pretty boring, but killed a few hours.

Heard kind of similar at work today. Some bloke swears blind that he has some form of ITK with Van Dijk ( won't tell me how though ) Anyway, he said to me certain players have had enough, puel has lost the dressing room etc. He said that the senior pros had a meeting yesterday and kelvin was present. Seems to think as well that VVD, fonte and long are all off this window.. Now, I think he's talking out his arsehole, the only thing that I guess gives him some credit is the story about longs attitude. Who knows? Onto Norwich this weekend

Be interesting to see the team he picks. Team were due back at Bournemouth at 5pm yesterday. Didn't land until 9pm. In for training this morning before leaving for Leicester. Essentially no rest time for vvd, Redmond etc.

Going to be in Milan for a couple of days, anybody suggest what other stuff there is to see and do?

For anybody that's interested... Cedric wanted number 20 and isn't happy that he hasn't got it when it's currently not in use. Also 3 other plays that kicked up about squad numbers apparently. I was told some players have their numbers actually in their contract. Wouldn't surprise me if Virgil being unhappy with 17 and maybe wanting 5? ( Gardos ) just passing on what I heard. No idea how true it is but there you go

Nope. Not after his comments about the under 21's.

Haha does seem that way doesn't it? It was all within the same conversation. This persons family are honestly the most honest people, and nicest you'll know. I see no reason as to why they'd lie, but who knows? Be interesting to see what happens come the summer.

Heard from another players parent.. But yeah... My reaction was kind of similar. Seems very odd... Just thought I'd post though, might be interesting to some.

Just has a massive attitude problem apparently and that's why he's been dropped. His behaviour Really hasn't gone down well with a lot of people. No idea how true, but only what I was told by another players parent.

Heard over the weekend that we offered gaston a new 2 year deal before he went on loan to Boro. Him and his agent declined, but now he's going to struggle to get his work permit renewed or something along those lines as he hasn't played enough games for us. Gaston and his agent have both come running back with tail between their legs but the club having none of it.

Is that not the plate that kelvs mum and dad have on their car? Strange if they are selling it, massive saints fans.

Beattie rise in hedge end

We've got van dijk, Virgil van dijk, I just don't think you understand, He's Ronald koemans man, He's better then Jaap stam, We've got Virgil van dijk

Said it last night, and I know it doesn't really mean much, but THAT Leeds game was the last league game I missed, and my 150th was all about Fraser. Thought it was quite apt in my opnion. To answer the question, the Leeds game gave us a crucial 3 points.

Like the annoying little brother.

Heard the testimonial will be in May. One of the stewards from the official club coaches was asking my mate to write a paragraph for the programme or book for The game. No idea on opponents though.

A couple of minutes before he scored, I said to my mate that I hope he scores a 'Wayne Thomas'

Another one for Yeovil here. Though I couldn't miss our last game of the season for a game or theres. Was at the play off semi at huish though and got on the pitch.

Nah he actually told me this in the hair dressers. Nice one though I bet you feel well 'ared behind a computer screen. Drop me a DM on Twitter instead? @SfcCrBowerz

Reed expects and wants a move to a club where he will get game time. He actually said he doesn't see much of a future here currently. Thought it was weird as he recently signed a new contract didn't he?
