Might be a good while before I'm financially able to make an away trip, but I'll definitely be at the first Cup game I can realistically make. :)

Anyone up for going to the Liverpool v Total Network Solutions games next month?

Got to beat watching Forest this coming season.

The fact that your original suggestion didn't bear fruit is down to my intransigence in moving away from the old thread. For that I apologise to you personally, but at the time I was very determined that we didn't lose what, to me, had been a very important part of my life last year.

We now have a compromise, and I am happy for that. Keep posting in here as you have, and keep us entertained :D
oh,m no probs...i keep informing you of the little leagues :) forza TNS!

:D I've not been to an away match, except the Cardiff special last year. Home football takes up so many weekends anyway that I need to make the rest of them count!

I might be tempted to go into the TNS end :wink:
Is this going to take long, only my foot's gone to sleep and I'd like to catch it up.

As a Pars supporter, long-suffering isn't the half of it. I'm hoping to see a finish ahead of the fucking Bairns though. The Hogmanay game is going to be a riot. There'll be blood.

(Pars; Dunfermline Athletic. Bairns; Falkirk, Dunfermline's absolute mortal enemies who just got promoted into the SPL...)

Bastard Chelsea in for Wright-Phillips, today. Bit worried that we haven't signed anyone, yet. Season starts for us in 18 days. 8O

Can't see Wright-Phillips moving unless the club have to sell him for financial reasons. He has said a couple times he doesn't want to move to a bigger club this season in case he ends up on the bench all the time in the run-up to the world cup.

The Spurs-Chelsea deal over Arnesen leaves a bit of a nasty taste in the mouth. Abramovich getting away with behaving badly purely because he can afford it.

How many players have said that though and then found the money too much to resist?

When the clucking bell are we going to buy someone this season, to busy fannying around trying to get Gerrards sig.

Yeah. And Rick Parry didn't have a lot to say on the subject of new signings, either. I'm sure it's usually prudent to play your cards close to your chest in transfer matters, but I haven't even seen anybody linked to Liverpool this summer.

Quite pleased with the way our transfer activities are going so far, though.

Yeah, surely a points deduction is the only thing that can stop him/them. On the other hand, it does seem to be commonplace throughout the game, this sort of thing. They've just been doing it more than anyone else lately.

That's the thing. They're richer than anyone else. So they can be as cuntish as they like and then just spend their way out of trouble. Shows up how tweedy and toothless the FA are, too.

I'd love to know how much Spurs have sold out - sorry, settled - for.

It's got to be a lot. I mean, they were originally talking about offering Scott Parker as a sweetener. So you're talking at least six and a half million. I reckon it's probably nearer ten. 8O
