It says here that the fact we aren't in the Champions League this year may stop Yaya and Ibra coming over, though apparently Barca's refusal to lower the asking price is another issue. I'm know Ibra is a good player he just seems to go missing in big games. He could be a good focal point for...

Exactly. It may not happen straight away, but a period of sustained success will change or image across the World. That's why we all hope the Sheikh is in it for the long haul.

Is it Bobby Charlton circa 1970? Or are there worse? And who will sport the worst haircut at this summer's World Cup?

I like the fact that England have gone back to basics with their strip now but surely the Italia '90 and the World Cup '66 strips were the definitive England kits. I can't believe that this writer has picked the 1982 England strip over the red 1966 shirt, in this list of the greatest ever World...

Agreed it is basically freezing the league from the 2012 season, so if you are mid-table you have little chance of getting higher. I agree that club debt is an issue but he is going about it the wrong way.

His fitness is a worry though. Before he signed for Everton he missed an entire season for Wolves after surgery on BOTH knees. He is a decent player though, yes a bit shaky at first but settled down and formed a decent partnership with Kompany. His versatility is an asset and means we won't be...

I read here that their four main strikers,Messi,Tevez,Milito and Higuain hit 131 goals between them this season so they are a handy bet for tournament top scorers at 13/2, though does depend on whether mentalist Maradona can get them far enough in the tournament!

Did anyone ever collect these as a kid? I did about 15 years ago, some of them were so hilarious at how bad they looked. Some of them were truly awful. I ended up getting about 15 of them and putting them on my window sill. I lost interest after that really.

Even if they do it is still a great story, a fun away day and much better than Cardiff coming up!

A typical result under Capello, we did the job against inferior opposition but looked shaky at the back. 3-1was a widely predicted result, though A better team would have punished us at the back. The only hope is that Cole and Terry returning will tighten things up

With the finance behind us it was always going to be difficult for him to break into the team, we haven't got the time anymore to allow him to develop. He has stood still, or even gone backwards, the past year so I think a move is the best thing for everyone

Anyone looking forward to seeing the WAGs this summer? The football is the most important thing, of course, but some of these stunners are very pleasing on the eye.

Arteta would be a natural replacement for Fabregas. Though we have been linked with Arteta too here, I would be surpsied if Gollum would do business with us again, he would deliberately sell to anyone else but us after Lescott last year.

LOL That's what we have become!!

Yeah he showed a lot of passion down there in difficult circumstances - but he is still jumping ship like everyone else! The real heroes are the ones who stick around and try and rescue the club from going under IMO.

It looks like he is off, it say here that his odds on leaving have gone right in the past 24 hours. It also reckons Chelsea and Barca are going after Torres, (bit gutted at that was kinda hoping we would get him). If Barca get Fab, Villa and Torres you mat as well hand them the Champions League...

Ah the summer silly season is upon us.......

Has anyone ever bought a computer game because of a footballer endorsement? I remember the Pele game and was very disappointed when I played it because it just wasn't realistic with regards to the 1994 World Cup. Some of these games look terrible - has anyone ever experienced them?

Backed York before the game just becasue I had a feeling there would be an upset.Though I wouldn't mind seeing Oxford come up as they are a big club who should be in league (they are arguably bigger than a few PL sides!)
