    Ha.!

    Wilshere's real problem is between his ears. He hasn't the brains to pass the ball just one stride before being clattered. Even Wenger says his playing style is going to get him injured often.

    I was reading some comments on the Chelsea forum about the time the lovely physio was moved from her post. One of the posters said that Jose behaved in this manner just before he left Chelsea last time (in that he made a big issue out of something trivial). The poster went on to say that he wondered if the same thing was about to happen this time around. Of course it could all be baloney, but I found it an interesting little snippet.

    In my best "Soaraway Sun Exclusive" tone....YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST. JOSE ABOUT TO DUMP CHELSEA FOR THE SECOND TIME!

    I think it's entirely possible.

    Exactly that TSS. It's as if he likes to do that in purpose.

    One of the biggest divers in the Prem, only bettered (if that's the right phrase) by Hazard in my opinion.

    When a FIFA or Pro-EVO gamer is completely new to the game they often, on the rare occasions they get the ball, run at the opposition defence until the ball is removed from them or they are fouled. Wilshere reminds me of that scenario only nobody is controlling his movement. He's down there amongst it all and he hasn't got the sense to release the ball at the right time.

    BBC's Ben Smith with Jose Mourinho: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/34256055

    He's asking him about the 3rd season. What he really meant was, is he going to build a dynasty at Chelsea, i.e. is he going to stay.? To be honest it wasn't the straightest question and was heavily coded. He got the answer he deserved, in my opinion.

    The thing is, it isn't jose who has made a deal about something trivial, it's everyone else. He didn't insult a woman, he called his medical staff, which also included a man, naive. It's one of the most pathetic witch hunts I think I've seen. If she is so upset about it I'd suggest she change her job, if you can't take the heat, don't be a chef.

    On the other hand, she's a doctor not a skivvy and was called onto the park by the referee...not once, but twice. Mourinho was in the wrong, but isn't man enough to apologise.

    Puts a light on WHU's spending this summer. They seem to have stretched their wage bill to the maximum, and are counting on making a loss even after they reap this season's TV money.

    “As a result, we are now at the maximum wages we are allowed to pay under Premier League rules and, therefore, if we wanted to buy again in January we would no doubt have to sell someone before we would be allowed to make signings. It also means we expect the club to make a loss of between £10m and £17m this year, depending on where we finish in the Premier League and the number of games we have televised. This is indicative of just how seriously we took this window and the signings we wanted to make.”

    I think the last sentence should go "This is indicative of just how afraid we are of getting relegated."

    It is more sensible to buy well in the summer for the whole season, than save money for January. Buy well and the mid-season window shouldn't matter....unless you have real bad luck with injuries. However, should keep an eye on wage levels.

    Brodgers is such a plonker. I've got to the point now where I never want Pool to sack him!

    Good that pressure is growing on them to reveal the details. Some proper slippery characters involved in that deal,

    Don't see why they shouldn't contribute to matchday costs. Everyone else has to.
