irreverentad

Thought Diame was excellent for West Ham. We need someone like that in our midfield

Ramirez for the best part of £12m, Nathaniel Clyne, potentially Phillips, Jay Rodriguez for £6m - Southampton are spending big and will be looking to finish above us. Maybe they will but all of those players bar Ramirez are unproven at the top level. I think our signings are better (might swap Clyne for Lowton as a similar project but really not much in it)

The player that so many Villa fans are jizzing over is only going to Southampton? I've never seen him play but the way fans go on about him I thought he was the next Ashley Young? only going to Southampton? Ramirez is on the verge of signing for them...doesn't mean he is a poor player, for what its worth he is a fantastic one... i'd welcome Phillips, he's got real potential... cannot see Southampton signing Ramirez and Phillips Bit disappointed Ramirez doesn't have the self confidence to back himself for a bigger club to come in for him. He is only 21 so has time. I wonder what motivates him.... Maybe the £30k NET per week they will pay him or the £780k signing on bonus.

The squad has a lot of unknowns about it. How will the likes of Bannan, Albrighton, Weimann and Clark do under a progressive manager? How good are the new signings? Lambert really needs his new signings to produce. The fact he places a big emphasis on character makes me think they should do. Will the likes of Ireland, N'Zogbia and Bent work in the tactics we want to employ? Therefore I understand why some people are worried about the squad. However I like the thought of hungry players with something to prove as opposed to the average squad of large earners teams like QPR are putting together. I expect Lambert to have his team fired up. I think we will become a bit of an Everton in time. If that means top 8 finishes for the next few years, then I am fine with that.

Is it Eames?

backfired :oops:

Glad you cleared up which Keane you meant! :winkold:

If I had known it was there!!! Also I didn't want to make a big issue of it just incase she had not noticed. Which was silly really as it was impossible not to! In that case you should have acted all pissed off and said something like, "boy, I am never going to buy this after shave again, ever " Eau de Poisson. I also kinda hoped she may have thought it was her lady bits instead of the car.

Holman is fit and available for selection tomorrow, as is Herd.

Don't like many on that station although I do enjoy Andy Goldstein's Sports bar. after his awful attempt at presenting soccer am he has found his niche. Very funny show. As an aside his argument with Rob Beasley from the Sun and Sunday Supplement earlier this week was epic!

I originally read the first part as "I'd make her a coffee counter". Could work. Dont know why but that really tickled me! one like this?

I don't think he genuinely believes it as the clearing in the woods cannot stop smiling when he says it.

My worst date was when I was 17. I was driving my girlfriend at the time to the cinema on a warm summer's evening. My mum had been shopping a couple of days before and the cod loin had been left/dropped in the boot. The car stunk and we had to drive 20 miles there and 20 miles back with all the windows open. Didn't get a 2nd date. Thanks mum!!!

When she said "she had a heart of gold" you should have known. School boy error.

Reminds me of Tiptop. yuk

What the hell????!!! I have tasted it with my current GF by accident in the throes of passion then not mentioned it to spare her embarassment. Horrible stuff. But your Mrs wants you to feed on it???? ewwwwwwww

Joe Bennett (Boro)

Depends. If wages are at a good level now which MM has indicated. We could sign a player now for a wage less than Makoun's. Then offset it when Warnock or Dunne leave at the end of the season as their contracts run out.

And a fine job you lot do there in Bradford at clearing!!! Still remember my interview with Prof Baimbridge!

Might be the best signing of the summer
