Yeah he could get all the youngsters into crack and to realise being on time for training doesn't really matter when you're big time.

We could get a Forren and a Mayuka for that. As others said only worth doing if we have someone else to fill boots. Gallagher? £8 whilst a great price isn't as significant as used to be with PL money and a billionaire owner. And what about penalties should se ever get one again?

Alas I haven't kept track to know how accurate he has been but feel he has moved to national treasure status now. These young articulate sorts may show him up a little but I will miss his sneering sarcasm when he goes.

Fair play to the old boy - his predictions so far would have had us on 27pts after 19 predictions. Spot on! http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/25522539

Apologies if discussed already in match thread but thought it odd kelvin got the armband back on Sunday. Don't know if Adam felt snubbed but seemed to be the most vocal I have ever seen him in a game although much directed at clattenburg. Would like to see more sounding off from him as to me is too quiet and needs to be more inspiring.

Says the cool cat on the msg board. So Hollywood would never wear anything his nan bought him.

Has anyone's reaction been that strong? Personally I think 9/10 is too high but very pleased with what has been a great season so far. Many expect far too much and are destined to never be happy with their football

Highest score given for us at halfway review. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/competitions/premier-league/10541791/Premier-League-report-Telegraph-Sport-experts-give-their-verdict-at-the-halfway-stage-of-the-season.html

Ironic how some get so upset at people spoiling their perceived image of what a football fan should be when they seem to want to be the 'cool' caricature which could be equally mocked. Having said that I used to feel exactly the same but am older now and have a more live and let live approach rather making my life a little colder. Telling the use of mong and spastic in posts. Can't get respect from being educated and successful but seek in in Stone Island clobber and frowning on the happy people who don't give a sh1t. Who is sadder?

Why? They Fck up and then have to come out and try and justify it in public which would be impossible as footage shows they got it wrong. What would this achieve? Or do people expect them to stick to original decisions in light of contrary evidence? As unpalatable as it is it to see such poor standard of refereeing it would achieve little. Is the lino who got the Sterling offside decision wrong meant to be interrogated and shown footage and asked 'why did you get it so wrong?' 'Errrr dunno I clearly thought he was the last man' enlightening stuff thanks. Or are we expecting ' I've always supported City and didn't want them to concede'? Technology is the solution.

I just hope football is the winner

Cheers for that. Just bought 6 tickets.

Yet Giggs continues to have saintly status when carrying on with his brother's missus. No fan of JT but absolutely no consistency in media witch hunts

Must be wrong it was foregone conclusion and nothing was going to stop it happening. Barry told me this.

Cheers - surprised they didn't do their research as seems simple.

Retired from playing football finally this year and can already see the negative effects. Definitely going to get back into running. And need to shed over a stone. Has any one tried these tracker bracelet (Jawbone and FItbit) things? Don't want to waste £80+ for glorified pedometer but if they work then money well spent.

I take it Morgan definitely is suspended? No reference to it here but mentions Barry and Howard http://www.itv.com/sport/football/article/2013-12-27/premier-league-team-news-everton-v-southampton/

Does anyone actually under rate him now though? I started a similar post a few weeks back and everyone was saying the same thing about how dependable he is.

Now has a broken finger

It is like the summer transfers didn't happen

Now I think you are being awkward or are just a bit slow on uptake.

You are having this argument with yourself though and throwing in spurious references to the New Forest for good measure. I have no more time unfortunately but you have shown failure to grasp my point so no reason to think even over time that you may and appear to have a very simplistic view of transfer market and contracts.

I imagine Lallana woudl have same professional attitude shown by Baines. Not all players are like van Hooijdonk.

Fck me you think every player gets the transfer they want immediately?
