SSN acting like he is definitely going tbh. (I don't think he will) but they seem desperate for it.

Money talks loud with SSN and Man C talk loud money.

I've just seen SSN and I think their coverage of the "story" is probably about as balanced as they're ever likely to get. Bit of footage of MON looking relaxed at Wentworth, stating the club's rejection of Citeh's offer, but clearly padding the story out with a retrospective of Milner's career so far. Ended with some fat-headed Blu-Mancs spouting their usual "top one", "Im buzzin'" drivel.

Come to think of it, that was 5 mins of my life I won't get back!

James Milner has earned enough money on his milk/coal/bread round to buy Manchester City several times over.

It's not that he can't be arsed to do it, he just knows it's not worth the ****' effort !!

I was going to say "Do we have to enter into such pessimistic speculation over how much we might get for Milner, how it wouldn't be the end of the world if he left, was the £12M for Barry that bad a deal, who we might buy...etc"

But it's a discussion forum, so talk about whatever the fuckitty pants you like !

Here's my tuppeny-worth: "Ah, F-off City !"

I do not think it is up to the manager or owner, I think the player will make the decision

I think you're right. And I think Milner's decision will be "No".

I agree that it'd be a bad move for Milner to go to Citeh. There's a real risk that he'd just be "flavour for a seaon" until Mancini gets the sack.

So many players make the big money/big salary moves and just end up warming the bench, and I really think Milner is one of those who's only happy when he's playing.

There's been a clear improvement in our season - OK, only slightly better in the league, but that's not to be sniffed at considering the increased competition from the likes of Citeh, Spurs etc. But add our domestic cup runs into the pot and we've had a good year.

I think Milner likes it here. Cast your mind back nearly 4 years to a folorn James Milner begging Freddy Shepherd to sell him to Villa, only for the plug to be pulled.

He knows we've been good to him, and will be even better, and he's going to be playing week-in, week-out.

It's Spurs form over the last third that got it for them and they beat some top teams along the way.

My Spurs mate text me a after the Pompey game the other week saying 'mate if you had a decent striker you would of ran away with 4th'.

I'm convinced we missed out on about 10 points at home that we could of attained with someone like Darren Bent in the side.

I think that hits the nail on the head. Possibility of a slight pinch of salt regarding Darren Bent from a Spurs fan, but the Bent one has done well this season.

Several weeks ago, I'd have been gutted to see Spuds get 4th.

But...

At the expense of Liverpool and Man City? Not so gutted now.

And yes, I absolutely despise Redknapp, and for all the "Hello/OK" magazine style praise heaped on him and his rotten clan by another poster (Jamie Redknapp - articulate??? Clearly, you don't watch QI, sunshine!), he still comes across as a greedy, hypocritical, media-****, cross between Mike Bassett and Arthur Daley.

But Spuds began a process, much like ourselves, of signing good British talent a few years back (Huddlestone, Bale, Hutton, Bentley, Dawson, Defoe) with a couple of expensive signings (Pavlyuchenko, Palacios etc), who haven't been discarded.

Bale, for all the media attention focussed on him now, was touted as being shown the door a few months ago as he wasn't playing - now he's a great example of a player on form. And no, he can't defend, but he's only 21? He will be able to soon.

Then Man U will sign him!!!

Yes, of course I'd have preferred us to get 4th, and we're not far away. If MON can learn how to win games in March, we'd probably have it sown up by now. But a great season for us nontheless - two Wembley trip, more European football next season, better points tally - we're improving all the time.

But fair play to Spuds, the league table doesn't lie, and they've succeeded in pissing off Man City and Liverpool into the bargain. Well done (sort of!)

When you brew beer as good as the Belgians can, they can start eating pensioners for all I care !

Funny game for me really. More pleased about getting 3pts and moving level with Spuds than beating the Blosers.

I didn't boo Gardner or Ridgewell, and it was nice that Phillips didn't get any flak when he came on. Mind you, weren't we all still celebrating at that point.

As for the pen - I think Andy Gray summed it up when he said it was the wrong decision (with the benefit of a slow-mo replay at a favourable angle), but it wasn't a bad decision, given the pace of Gabby and Johnson, and the path of the ball. For me, it look a definite penalty as Johnson's contact with Gabby caused him to go to ground. But hey-ho - a win against the scum's a good win.

Nice that they bothered to give us a game this time.

Top 10 wealthiest managers:

1 Fabio Capello (England) £30m

2 Roy Keane (Ipswich) £27m

3 Sir Alex Ferguson (Manchester United) £22m

4 Carlo Ancelotti (Chelsea) £17m

5 Sven-Goran Eriksson (Notts County director of football) £15m

5= Arsene Wenger (Arsenal) £15m

7 Harry Redknapp (Tottenham) £10m

8 Rafael Benitez (Liverpool) £9m

8= Martin O'Neill (Aston Villa) £9m

10 Mark Hughes (Manchester City) £8m

Do Capello, Wenger and O'Neill not respect the game either then?

Now I can understand every one on this list with the exception of candleface, even Keane who must have earned most of his as a player, but why is he above the likes of Big Sam managed clubs of a similar size even had a spell with Newcatle, guess they must have payed similar wages to spuds, Woy Hodgeson, managed prem clubs and international teams, Mcleish, managed rangers, potato head must be similar to keane and Zola too

as far as I can recall he has one one trophy and this is the first large club, well spuds, he has managed

LfIW is the best btw.

They were unlucky last night and wanted them to beat the only team i hate more

Wot he said.

I actually feel sorry for Small Heath. In fact, any team that gets cheated by Redscouse. Of course, ideally it would've been nice if they both lost, but the downside of Blose getting 3pts meaning Liverpool look like they might miss out on ALL European football next season isn't really a downside is it?!!

Best start in 10 years?

Votes "Go", obviously.

*doesn't*

Numpties - the lot of you !

You said you've always wanted to come over Jilly Cooper !

Save for the first 10 mins, Barcelona completely outplayed them.

I'm pleased Barca won, because I think they've been the best team in Europe this season - I'd support Man U over any other Euro team.

What I think was disappointed was the way Utd couldn't get back into the game. Both teams had enough talent to give us a 4-3 scoreline, but Man U never got back into it.

All sitters are therefore closet homosexuals....

All standers are closet paedoes then!

Can I be both please?

Why? Do you fancy Jeanette Kranky ?!!!

She's an old woman. Making him neither, not both.

Doesn't she dress as a young boy?

I also recommend using wet wipes. If you get the baby variety, they'll wipe tarmac off a road so you should be free of winnit, clag, and tag-nuts.

Another advantage is they provide welcome relief the morning after a particularly hot curry when your poor nipsy resembles the flag of Japan ! By putting them in the fridge, you are guarranteed a nice cooling sensation, safe in the knowledge that any "residuals" will be swiftly eradicated.

Question to you sitters. Have any of you experienced a German toilet, i.e: one that uses "the shelf"?

When shitting into such toilets your crap falls onto a shelf mere inches from the place your arse is suspended. It is believed German's use "the shelf" to examine thier crap to ensure it is of uniform size and shape and if not they then adjust their diets accordingly to shit more efficiently.

My point being if you are a sitter and were to use the shelf the ods are pretty high that upon dropping your hand down there with the paper for a swipe you will no doubt make hard contact with the shit on the shelf. thoughts? Comments?

What The ****?

Actually yes. I was on a university trip to Berlin which involved a load of drink and a 24hr coach trip. I'm pretty fussy about where I like to bury a dirtsnake, so the coach was a no-no. So I waited until we reached our destination.

After a brief inspection of the kraut-dunny, I chuckled to myself thinking "there's no way that this will deal with my poo-anaconda", so I gleefully laid my cable on the shelf.

Still smiling, I pulled the chain to witness a feeble trickle of water, gently running around the bowl. Then, the turn seemed to wobble a bit, and hey-presto, off it shot down the bowl.

when sky did their outgoing peice to some music the 2nd from last clip, terry in tears but not as bad as last year, very last clip was lamps not actually crying but looking like he's trying to swallow a golf ball

No, he always looks like that.

Ha, ha, ha.

Still laughing.

Ha, ha, ha ! **** off Chelsea.

You're about as much use in Europe as a right-hand drive car !!

Bleating on about penalties that never were (well, apart from the Pique one), and having that "petulant serial cheat" Drogba having a go at the ref. Perhaps he should've been having a go at himself for missing two sitters and falling over like a toddler. The same goes for Ballack - surely one of the biggest losers in world football.

Petulant, pampered, rocket polishers who think they have a god-given right to the European Cup. Perhaps if they took their chances they might earn the right to be beaten by United (again) in the final !

Well fellas, the books are closed on our little club for another year.

The Middle One (blue cap) - providing my delivery arrives.

I would like the one on the right, as it was voted the best beer in the world in 2005, but its as rare as rocking-horse shit.
