Shatner's Bassoon

He was destroyed by the slip last season. Watching him spend the rest of the game taking random pot shots instead of passing to better placed team mates was a joy to behold. Add in the fact that this season hasn't panned out as he and the Scouse loving media would have liked and you've almost got the perfect send off. At least the DJ's in Southport can now breath a sigh of relief.

6000 away fans are going to outsing the home fans at any Premier League ground, that's a fact. Factor in the idiots more interested in taking photo's with their phones, rather than supporting the team and the modern day scourge that is friendship scarves and people wonder why the atmosphere is so sterile,

Craig Burley by a large distance.

He'd do a job short-term. His love in with the scousers puts me right off him though.

We need a striker and a defensive midfielder not another bloody wide midfielder. Who's in charge of the club's transfer policy?

Roll on the transfer window closing, but I fear it's going to few a rocky few days. I want to be positive, but really fear the worse on this one.

I'm in

Pub wise, you can't really go far wrong with The Goose on North End Rd. I'd recommend getting there early though, as it does tend to get a bit rammed

Showdown meeting with Moyes today by all accounts. I'm expecting an announcement that everything is hunky dory and both parties are looking forward to a successful season, or some bullsh*t along those lines.

Not sure on the 'better than Cech' bit, but agree with you on him being 1st coice for 2014-15. We're building up a squad of hungry, young players to work under Jose and he fits all the criteria.

He's like a stuck record, constantly bemoaning his hard luck and expecting Roman to put his hand in his pocket and help him out. As others have said, he seems to speak far more fondly of Stoke than he does of Chelsea. Cathy put a picture of him up on Twitter a couple of days ago. He'd just walked in a boozer she was in. He can't be that hard up if he can afford to spend all day on the ale.

Cake is a made up drug

Newcastle would have come in with a late bid close to deadline day, hoping to get him for about £8-£10m.

Liverpool must be laughing their bollocks off at getting £15m from Wet Spam for Carroll. They were desperate to sell, they'd have taken much less than that. And if that's not funny enough, they gave him a 6 year contract on £100k a week.

Before the season starts, players are going to arrive and players are going to leave. Obi leaving wouldn't exactly have me in tears, he does a job, but hasn't really kicked on in the way he should have. Maybe a new club will do him good as well.
