Middlesbrough are signing Stewart Downing for £5m, and we're supposedly signing a fat, injury prone and slow defensive midfielder. He was on trial with Bolton a week or so ago and they rejected him. My excitement for this season is slowly dwindling, fingers crossed Bruce has something up his sleeve.

Get rid. He wants out. Money grabbing ****. He'll do well for them, get relegated and agitate for another move.
Well rid.

I would be very happy to see Curtis Davies leave and quick. We have had our monies worth from him.

We have better now.
 
Hey
The vultures are starting to circle and pick at the bones of the squad. This does not bode well.
I will SMS our kid for any incoming transfer news.

I remain your obedient servant
Big Vern.

It was like one of those segways, but with no handlebars, just a footplate with wheels at either end, lean forward and it goes forward, lean back and it goes backwards. The base was all lit up will blue LED's, his missus was trying to ride around on it while carrying a cat, which was a little odd.

He lives next door to my office and my office car park was his missus racetrack, he was very friendly, I was going to have a go, but I thought I'd make a twat of myself and I don't really like cats.

What's his bird like? As if you'd leave these more important details out.

Well it depends on your point of view. You could say that because they're playing for a team in the Premier League then they're PL players. But we know that isn't true.

Bradford's run to the League Cup final saw them beat 3 Premier League sides (Wigan, Arsenal and Villa), a Championship side (Watford) and a League One side (Notts County). Their whole team played well in every game, so did that mean that their squad was full of Premier League quality players? Or was it that they were in fact League 2 quality, but showed a lot of commitment and effort?

Quinn was a handy player to have and he did his best when called upon, but no way is he talented enough to be a regular, consistently quality Premier League midfielder. Had Diame been fit, he (Quinn) would have spent most of the season on the bench being used as an impact player. Similarly, when it became public knowledge that his contract was about to expire, he ended up going to a Championship club. As did McShane and Rosenior and I assume the same will happen to Bruce Jnr.

It's not to say they're bad players, because they aren't, but their ability levels aren't enough to be classed as Premier League quality. We were blighted with injuries and suspensions last season so we had to plug the gaps with players like Meyler, Bruce, Quinn and McShane. If they were PL quality players, we wouldn't have struggled so much, but because we had to rely on Championship level players, that's where we ended up. Fair play to them for stepping up to the plate and having a go at keeping us up, but even they knew their own limits and it's probably one of the reasons why they didn't turn down those Championship contract offers to wait for PL interest.

We didn't get relegated because of any of those players. Not one of them had a bad season except maybe Meyler, but he looked good in spells too. We got relegated because we didn't score anywhere near enough goals. Up front we had internationals who've played in top leagues around the world, so presumably they count as Premier League players for you. But they're the ones most culpable for our relegation.

Agreed. Our first choice GK went missing
Our Captain and CB played **** sulked and was dropped.
Our first choice CM pairing went to total ****e.
Jelavic injured too much. Hernandez disaster. N'Doye good then lost his bottle.
Spine of the team went to pieces.

I'd wager you've never even seen him play in the flesh and here you are praying he breaks down with his knees so you can be proved right on a forum. Even though no one disagreeing and saying we should definitely sign him. We're all just hoping he gets a few last years of his career with a manager who gets the best out of him.

Sick ****.

I agree we didn't score enough goals, but we also lost games through conceding goals from poor defending and weak midfielding. Perhaps I was a little harsh on them, but I thought our strength in depth last season was terrible. Those players that we used as a makeshift spine of our team weren't solely responsible for us losing, but they didn't really help. It was nice to see the effort, but it wasn't nice to see the opposition carve us open over and over.

I sell them in my shop, they're Airboards, only £599 if anyone wants one. Made by the Airwheel company, which also do single wheels you straddle.

They do about 12 mph flat out and can be quite dangerous imo...
