    "Brizzel" City have had a tough summer losing half their defence. How they can be expected to mount a promotion when their riches are plundered. Given the size of the city and its location it would be good if they could get to the PL some day.

    Let´s hope for a Saints win in every match, regardless of the opponents. I have no love or no hate for Liverpool. Nor anyone else in the división. My feeling of distaste towards Chelsea has lessened due to their great performance in the EL final, and the fact they do take action against "knobhead" fans. Actually, it is good to see most clubs doing this kind of thing.

    On the other hand, there was the "Barmy" army singing "God Save The Queen" in the cricket. I find that really nauseating as there´s a time and occasion to sing the anthem. During play and at the end of the day, is not one of them.

    Apparently wants to move into management and his family haven't settled in America. Arrived in England for talks with Derby.

    It worked for them with Lampard for a season, I guess they want to try their luck with another one of the "Golden Generation".

    They have Cocu as manager, I’m sure he was mentioned during one of our manager searches as someone somebody wanted here

    Hello chaps, there is a petition created by the organisation Against League 3 to petition the government to set up an independent football regulator. Nothing will probably come of it, but there's no harm in signing because English football sure as heck can't regulate itself:

    Pompey thrashing Brum 3-0 in the cup. Looks like they've woken up after a disappointing weekend.
