Pep interested in Paul Scholes+

by Marky Mon 13 May 2013, 9:07 am

Ahead of the new TP limit, will lawyers offers be up before midday tomorrow?

by **Afro** Mon 13 May 2013, 9:17 am

It depends entirely on workload tomorrow morning.

Me and Sod will try, but can't promise it

by GSC Mon 13 May 2013, 9:29 am

I can stick mine up, if you can do the lawyers for the lower leagues today and pm me ill stick both up as insurance

by **Afro** Mon 13 May 2013, 9:44 am

I'll try and get mine done later.

I get my Excel file with the list of players in the league/players who have left through lawyers updated first, and then the lawyers and injuries are created automatically on another sheet.

by GSC Mon 13 May 2013, 9:47 am

I just stick it through random.org

by **Afro** Mon 13 May 2013, 9:56 am

I would, but I have the page with the list of players to keep updated as well. Rather than do random.org and create more work, I just let Excel use the list I have already updated

by GSC Mon 13 May 2013, 9:57 am

Fair enough, anyone want to beat Iturraspes 7.5m lawyer.

Also vote

by GSC Mon 13 May 2013, 10:04 am

Sneaking feeling Neil Lennon will be the man to take over the blues.

of Leicester that is.

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Mon 13 May 2013, 10:04 am

Mornign Bizatches!
Good weekend all?

West Brom are poop!!! Cost me my bet & not by a goal, but by being absolutely battered by Norwich!!!
£107 from £3.80 bet, stupid baggies!

by GSC Mon 13 May 2013, 10:08 am

Pereira at 16s might be good value for the Everton job.

by sodhat Mon 13 May 2013, 10:09 am

Pleased for Zola and Watford yesterday.

Zola because he is a good coach and a class act, and Watford because they were so nearly cheated out of it. Glorious justice.

by GSC Mon 13 May 2013, 10:10 am

And its always funny to see Leicester fail. After Kermogent and Sven

by Marky Mon 13 May 2013, 10:10 am

Or Benitez at 33/1 Whistle

It was Mark Van Bommel's final game before retirement this weekend. He was sent off Laugh

by GSC Mon 13 May 2013, 10:11 am

God, I still remember Van Bommels WC where he must have had the most fouls in the tournament and didnt get booked until the semi.

by Guest Mon 13 May 2013, 10:13 am

Kyle Walker - £15m

If they win the final, I hope they get Vydra for another year.

I would like to see him in the Premier League. I haven't seen a great deal of him, but he looks a good prospect

Then he looked around as if he was shocked he'd been booked Laugh

His first yesterday was a peach. He really does look very good.

by GSC Mon 13 May 2013, 10:16 am

Vydra hasn't been particularly good recently before yesterday. Neither had Nugent though tbf

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 13 May 2013, 10:18 am

That Deeney goal was incredible. Proper football.

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Mon 13 May 2013, 10:23 am

Benitez will go to Newcastle if they stay up & can mutually terminate Pardew' contract. #HeardItHearFirst

by Marky Mon 13 May 2013, 10:24 am

Newcastle have stayed up, as have Norwich. Wigan or Villa can finish above them, but not both, so they're safe.

by sodhat Mon 13 May 2013, 10:25 am

If Wigan lose tomorrow they are down.

That would mean the only storyline of the last day would be the race for fourth place. Snore.

by **Afro** Mon 13 May 2013, 10:28 am

Sod - are West Ham on their summer holidays already. You guys didn't show up yesterday

by Marky Mon 13 May 2013, 10:29 am

If Wigan beat Arsenal, televised games Sunday;
Spurs v Sunderland
Wigan v Villa

If Arsenal relegate Wigan;
Spurs v Sunderland
Newcastle v Arsenal

Might go out Sunday if that happens...

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 13 May 2013, 10:30 am

I'd say Villa are fairly safe.

There's no way Sunderland are getting anything at Spurs

by sodhat Mon 13 May 2013, 10:33 am

BigFellasAfro wrote:Sod - are West Ham on their summer holidays already. You guys didn't show up yesterday

We were the same against Newcastle.

We're safe, the players are happy with that, and Fat Sam got two more years so I can't imagine they much cared. If Moyes wasn't leaving it probably would have been a terribly pointless game.

I heard that when the West Ham fans chanted something about Moyes going, the Everton fans responded with "we want Sam Allardyce".

by GSC Mon 13 May 2013, 10:35 am

Really hasn't been a vintage PL season.

Swansea fans chanting you're getting sacked in the morning after they equalised was pretty good

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 13 May 2013, 10:37 am

Charlie Wyett ‏@CharlieWyett
West Brom 8th with 1 win in 8. Swansea 9th - 1 win in 9. West Ham 10th 1 in 7. Stoke 11th 2 in 10 - Fulham 15th 0 wins in 7. Quality Prem..

Charlie Wyett ‏@CharlieWyett
And not forgetting Norwich 12th - 3 wins in 20

The very fact we can still finish 10th proves how utter crap it's been Laugh

by sodhat Mon 13 May 2013, 10:37 am

It's been an average season at best. In terms of drama it's the antithesis of last year for sure.

I blame QPR and Reading for being so abject. If there were even two relegation spots to be decided on the last day it would be worth it.

by sodhat Mon 13 May 2013, 10:38 am

Would anyone take Van der Sar over Schmeichel in a United best XI?

by GSC Mon 13 May 2013, 10:39 am

by GSC Mon 13 May 2013, 10:40 am

I'd go as far to say that Reading arent much better than the Derby team that holds the record for lowest points tally.

Realistically, the prem could relegate a few more than 3 and be no worse off for it.

by Marky Mon 13 May 2013, 10:42 am

Imagine how tight it'd have been if Wigan beat Swansea last week. I have a feeling that's where Wigan lost it as I don't see them winning at Arsenal, as much as I'd like them to.

by sodhat Mon 13 May 2013, 10:44 am

The whole bottom half and probably one or two in the top half could realistically expect to be relegated. Very poor sides throughout at the moment.

I'm always most worried about 2nd season syndrome and I think West Ham will have to really improve this summer to be safe again. Fortunately I think we have the right man to stabilise us, even if the football can sometimes be uninspiring.

by **Afro** Mon 13 May 2013, 10:44 am

Sod - Azzy said he would, but not me personally. Best keeper in Premier League history for me, let alone for United.

GSC - they should do that. An 18 team Premier League would do it for me.

by GSC Mon 13 May 2013, 10:45 am

Yeah.

Or even replace Norwich and Stoke with Leicester and Brighton. Would be a much better watch

by **Hero** Mon 13 May 2013, 10:49 am

From my HuggyBear contact:
Rooney has been removed from all marketing material for next season, they are all also having to reshoot a promotional video that he was in with Carrick taking his place. This isn't though to say he is def leaving, they did the same last summer with Nani.

by sodhat Mon 13 May 2013, 10:50 am

I wouldn't take VDS over Schmeichel, but I don't think it's a mad notion

by GSC Mon 13 May 2013, 10:51 am

Just from SAF hugging everyone bar Rooney, and admitting he's asked to leave, I'm guessing they're ready to let him go.

by GSC Mon 13 May 2013, 10:52 am

I think VDS was very good, but Schmeichel was great. VDS very consistent but he couldn't make some of the saves Schmeichel did.

by sodhat Mon 13 May 2013, 10:54 am

GSC wrote:I think VDS was very good, but Schmeichel was great. VDS very consistent but he couldn't make some of the saves Schmeichel did.

Neither were as good as Roy Carroll. He was so good that even when it looked like the ball was two feet over the line, he could make a great save

by GSC Mon 13 May 2013, 10:55 am

And cost Spurs CL football

by **Hero** Mon 13 May 2013, 10:56 am

And then Utd get Bale...

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 13 May 2013, 10:56 am

Soddy where would you say West Ham need to improve over the summer?!

by sodhat Mon 13 May 2013, 10:56 am

There was that, plus the dodgy lasagne from West Ham

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Mon 13 May 2013, 10:57 am

Would anyone take Van der Sar over Schmeichel in a United best XI?

Haha, if anyone does they are stupid.

by Marky Mon 13 May 2013, 10:58 am

Controversial statement while we're comparing players, based on his goalscoring feats in the last 10 years, I rate Frank Lampard over Paul Scholes.

by GSC Mon 13 May 2013, 10:58 am

I'd be surprised if Levy sells Bale to Man United without extracting a Kaka/Ibra/Ronaldo type fee
