Lambert was our talisman, in his first PL season scored the same goals as Deeney. He isn't worth 25m, and no one is irreplaceable.

For the love of god please not let it be this.

Is it my eyes, or does that ball look... well... a bit pear shaped? #signofthingstocome

The way I'm reading it, it would be feedback on previous manager experience, not feedback on selection of new. All the same still quite interesting.

How about a montage of statements ... everyone loves a montage!

Not sure if he did/doesn't want to stay or go, but as an outsider looking in I hypothesize he was tapped up a while ago. He wanted to keep things under wraps, either to weigh up his options or because he had already committed but wanted the club to sack him off first for not accepting the extended contract. He sacked off his old manager, for leaking the news prior to end of season. Either way, he's made his own bed now...

Yeah noticed Alpine has been absent of late during St Charlies meltdown..

Relating to Portugal game...

According to Micheal Owen, Stones can walk into Barcelona team..:lol:

Their heights are straight out of the OS, not wiki. Images from season before last show Mane and JWP almost the same. Based on the image MLG showed, (and assuming the sponsorship panels are straight) there are two logical explanations... 1. JWP has had a growth spurt and is now taller than his recorded height. Plausible 2. JWP is standing on a box.

I quite like the idea, not the least because (in theory) the PL should boss it. Almost worthy of it's own thread. Here is mine.. Vardy De Bruyne Payet Shaqiri Guera Alli Monreal Van Dijk Cahill Clyne De Gea Can't be ar$ed with rest of squad.

Because England FC have priors. The public aren't wanting England to fail, they are just sick and tired of seeing them fail to the point where the apathetic rot has set in as a defensive measure.

Wembley attendances would suggest otherwise

This. Really what is the value of broadcasting this to the world.... just get the job done.

He basically isn't, and there is no comparison. Cork in his last season with us struggled to get a run out in a year our midfield was ravaged with injuries and cards. His pedigree includes Bournemouth (L1), S****horpe, Burnley and us (in Championship). Romeu this year has been pivotal in both relieving Clasie mid match and also through general midfield rotation. His pedigree includes Barcelona and Chelsea. As for Wanyama, lets get his replacement in early and then sell him on deadline day.

Surely the whole back doesn't have to be blank, just the portion where the numbers are. European clubs with stripes have been successfully doing this for decades. If done right, I don't see what the issue is.

Oh how did I forget Cuco's goal..... Oh well... My comedy moment was after losing 4-0 Wenger still harasses the refs and Ron steps in and slaps him down. Am starting to doubt myself now... did I type for best tweeter Simon Peach or David Peach... hah..???.

--------------------------- Forster ---------------------------- Cedric ------- Fonte --------------- VvD --------- Bertrand ------------------------ Wanyama ----------------------------- ------------------- Davis --------------JWP--------------------- ----- Mane --------------- Long ------------------ Tadic ----- Subs: Stek, Martina, Yoshida, Romeu, JRod, Pelle, Austin

You seriously have to ask that when... a - we can still finish 5th this season b - Leicester won the title Newcastle and Villa have passionate fans, counts for sh*t.

guys.... guys.... guys.....this article is 3 weeks old.

Yes it is. The red card is not rescinded, it's further punishment from receiving the red card.

I am thinking the Spurs collective will be totally deflated. It's a bit of a tricky one, because they play such a high line it plays right into Long and Mane breaking quick which equals no Pelle, but conversely Spurs are also dire at set pieces so could also do with some extra height. I hope it's the former and we stick with the winning formula. Throw into the mixer the possibility of no Toby, no Lamela, no Dembele, no Rose.... I also suspect Mofo will roll out all his second stringers with an arrogant little to gain, nothing to lose attitude. Would be p*ss funny if they lose both and they end up third.

Oddly, Gazza probably made the difference between the two teams tonight with some great saves up until, and after it.

Gazza clanger

Agree, I'm thinking either Liverpool or West Ham
