Plus he described their Nth London neighbours as "the club of my heart" & "Arsenal, a beautiful club". Wonderful "Club of my heart" I'd guess he's part of the managers' strategy of having 2 players for each position. Issue with him is, in my view, I'm not sure he's a solid enough character not to cause problems when he's not starting many matches, or for that matter are his new teammates in his positions.

Sounds like an AVB team talk, is that you Andre?

I wondered what it was, other than football, he must have been doing in those 4 months he was here.

I thought she looked a bit stressed in the photo's leaving court, whereas she seemed calm going in. Didn't see her and the new hubby coming out the same way they went in I.e. Hand-in-hand Maybe there's a 'disclosure' or two at the hearing that they weren't expecting?

It would a decent move to keep him here. He'd probably do no worse than RF? In my view there's no point in spending a whole heap of money on another striker at the moment - We've an interim manager, we don't know who will get the job beyond this season. If we buy someone, the next guy through the revolving door might not fancy him. We're probably not going to be relegated, so why not give him a shot at the title. Remy can't stay consistently fit/can't get on the pitch. Give him the gig, starting on Sunday for me.

It's a game of opinions and what's one mans sausage, eggs, chips & beans is another mans poison. He still makes the odd mistake, bordering on the over-confident at times. A season next to JT, on the pitch and training ground would have done wonders for him and as much time away from Martinez, who I think is a defensive liability of a manager, would benefit him as a player. He's also been having to play recently with a centre-half brought in by Martinez who looks lightweight, and has been doing bits of his jobs for him. Alot for a young centre-half to cope with, in the unforgiving league he plays in. He's as good as I've seen comparatively and the player you get now, plus the potential for improvement, sells him to me. Would I put him ahead of Zouma, yes I would, but to buy as a partner for him in the medium, long-term. If you could guarantee keeping the players, we'd be set for 5-10 seasons at centre-half.

Chelsea fans used to sing it quite a lot in the 1970's, as did Man Utd's I believe.

The fella is class, he's already a very good defender allied with great confidence with the ball. Passes well, can carry the ball towards plus doesn't get bullied by forwards and has good pace. Personally I'd go all out to get him.

In hindsight it would have been better if Atkinson had done nothing, at least then there would have been the possibility of it being reviewed and retrospective action being taken.Current England captain though, not much chance of that. That sort of thing happens with our captain.

He didn't have "a dig", he did say they did well. if you watch games you'll see lots of clubs tactically and in a pre-meditated way, getting ball boys to delay the return of the ball to the opposition if that team has momentum and also assisting their own team by slowing the return of the ball to their players.Everton have done this for years, other clubs have caught on. You can see the change in attitude dependant on the state of the game in progress. Timewasting is now, in my opinion, one of the bigger issues that the governing bodies in football have to deal with. Referees don't deal with it and it'll get worse until they (FA & PL) decide to get it addressed.

I have been told that he has a degenerative injury (knee, I think), that prevents him from playing too often and for too long. Maybe that's why, he's content with his bit part role?Shame, if true. His strike rate seems good, he's a decent finisher in my opinion.

In this case, the Internet does not lie. Ivanovic looked around to see where the rest were and saw no one, looked sad and embarrassed. Watched it from Row D, in person.

If two of three of our other midfielders could replicate his application, concentration, work rate and desire to win, to go with their talent - we'd surely not be in the league position we're in. On Saturday he was the only player I saw, that showed how angry/disappointed he was when we went a goal down. Player of the season, thus far, for me - by a distance.

And If Carlsburg did juries....................................only if they happen to be your shirt sponsor

Thank god for that, when I read the thread title I thought West Ham were moving in!!
