Tells a press conference how he would love to get Dempsey and Allen ....... in the same conference, later states 'I would never talk about other clubs players'.



Not bitter or anything, just wondering who the Liverpool manager will be after Xmas.

and I hate this 'playing Rodgers way', when it's been the Swansea way for over 5 years now, only the last 2 with Rodgers!

I saw a picture of Liverpool watching the Redsox in Boston last night.

They play a rejuvenated FC Toronto tomorrow a couple of hundred yards from my condo.

That will be fantastic.

I visited Boston in 2010. Nice place.

Spurs play some one in Baltimore soon but I have not managed to convince anyone to come on the road trip with me yet. The stadia they are playing in looks fantastic.

Yes that was the other choice we had but a little too far. I already object to traveling 7 1/2 hours to Boston, but I can't see myself seeing them live in the near future any other way.

I like Boston too but have never been to Fenway.

Will be a nice few days away anyway.

He now spends his days sounding of in the newspapers where ever he can.

Sol will always be the victim it is his mentality.

That's unique is it?

He took acting lessons hoping to become the next James Bond didn't he?

John Terry has very little class on her off the pitch.

Any one who ever managed or played the game to a high standard would put King above Terry.

You need to take your prejudice and start looking at the game objectively so people see you as some one who is knowledgable on football rather than just a Chelski fan.

I'm not going to name 1-20 as it'll take too long but I'll take a punt at the first top few spots

1/ Manchester City
2/ Chelsea
3/ Manchester United (if United sign Van Persie I'll change this to second)
4/ Tottenham (I have to live in hope)
5/ Newcastle
6/ Sunderland
7/ Liverpool

I won't go any lower. For my own reasons I'd love to see Reading and Southampton stay up.

It's pretty unique in the Premier League.

Most players will state their dissatisfaction and request and move and the club is then able to listen to offers and recoup their investment.

Take Nasri, Van Persie and Modric as examples.

Spurs accepted a 22 million pound bid from Juventus and a similar bid from United.

Campbell refused to talk and sat his contract out for a huge wad of cash upfront and a fatter salary.

That 22 million could have rebuilt a poor team in that era.

The man is unforgivable.

I would say it's the managers fault for not cashing in if they're that desperate for cash.

If Sinclair doesn't sign this week, he's likely to go. We have let contracts run down and lose players for nothing (De Vries and Pratley recently), it depends if you believe keeping the player for one last season is worth more than cashing in.

For your choices for the end of season's table, Swansea's far too low, Sunderlands too high, Newcastle's too low and Liverpools too high.
