He has signed for Montreal Impact. Which I believe is some kind of bodyslam in Mixed Martial Arts.

[OttawaSaint]

Great! I’ll be heading to the Saputo this year to see him! With Henry at the helm it could be a really exciting season!

[HarvSFC]

The legendary Saphir Taider is at Montreal Impact as well. You might finally get to see him play, six years later.

Lovren looked all over the place against Watford and did VVD’s misplaced header set up Barclays counter attack for Chelsea’s second last night?

He will love the MLS atmosphere and fans passion. Non stop racket!

[OttawaSaint]

Wanyama and Taider played in last night's 2-1 home loss for Montreal Impact in the north american champions league QF first leg. Taider scored and I am happy to report that despite the loss the atmosphere was amazing. Non stop racket!

 

Vic did pretty well but woeful finishing and defensive lapses cost the Impact in the end (very Saints-like).

I see that Spurs are reportedly trying to get Poch to take a pay cut, hope he tells them to firk off. Mourinho has done no better

really so they should pay whatever was agreed for their foolishness.

Don't get how anyone could claim Schneiderlin was only great for one season.

Apparently she was just delivering beer. Obviously you'd get a 49 year old footballers wife to deliver beer to a teenagers party on a council estate.

its nice to see that after her faux pas with a mobile phone salesman back in 2005 that they managed to save their marriage. I suppose the trappings of a Premier League footballers lifestyle beat out the offer of 1GB of free data every month after all.

1GB data a month in 2005 would have been worth more than Kevin Phillips wage packet!

On past form Mrs Phillips could be classed as a key-worker.

I think 1GB of data would have taken a month to download in 2005. The village I lived in then didn’t even have broadband.

Perhaps he'll presuade Liverpool to have a turquoise second strip next season.

Yep, signed according to The DE.

Decent deal for Arsenal.  A "free" RB to supplement their squad, with lots of prem and international experience

What a great man. Didn't need to do this, and include former clubs, but class shows. 

 

All the best for the future.

If ever a signing said, ‘Arsenal are now a mid table team’ it’s this. I thought they were just after some short term cover until the end of the season but wow. If PEA leaves this summer they will be properly mediocre.

[SuperSAINT]

Clyne & Martina released from their respective clubs.

Let’s get the band back together again*.

It might have been worth signing Martina again just to put him on the pitch against Arsenal, just on the one in a million chance... 😆

I'd have Clyne back, but anyone would do to replace the dreadful Valery. Jermaine Wright anyone?
