Spurs vs. Scousers on opening day.
An appeal to the visitors, I know London is big and shiny but please try keep your hands in your own pockets.

Don't forget Halloween this year. We'll try not to scare you too much.

You've got a nice run-in this season. 3 of the last 6 are us, Chelski and Utd back to back.

Thoughts on this little beauty. Ready for battle in the Championship.

Those whom the gods would destroy, they first drive f'ing crazy.

<Or ask f'ing Mike Ashey to do it for them>

It could be worse.

I believe there are a number of designs for home made traps you can use to catch those, for example by cutting the top off a 2 litre pop bottle then turning it upside-down and insert it into the lower half of the bottle.

Put some sugar syrup inside the bottle to attract and drown the pesky insectoid low-leaguers.

Looks like someone left their kick soaking in a vat of piss

hmm not sure about this one, with further support maybe, can't help thinking we have signed another park, lots of go but not much to show.

A good player but a significant amount of wedge, not sure he's worth that but he is quality. A different sort of player to Poncaldo and highly unlikely to sulk when he gets tackled.

Wouldn't that also describe Tevez?.....looks like SAF has lots of money burning a hole in his pocket....I guess it would be wishful thinking that there is some free talent in the academy or reserve team that can move up to the 1st team for free

David Edgar to Burnley

Burnley have completed the signing of defender David Edgar from Newcastle.

Edgar has signed a four-year deal with the Premier League new boys after seeing out his contract at St James' Park.

Though given the town's reputation as a BNP centre, wouldn't Joey Barton have been a better choice?

quite, i was never struck on him personally, but i understand his popularity due to his work ethic, way way overvalued, if he does go to shitty for 25mill+ i think we have done well to avoid signing him as he is not worth that, he is a 12-15 mill squad striker at best.
the only plus about this is hopefully fergie will stick to a 4-4-2, with rooney and berbatov up front as out an out strikers.

Owen to Man Utd?

Michael Owen has arrived at Manchester United's Carrington training ground to undergo a full medical before completing his shock move to Old Trafford

If it happens, it's likely to be the surprise move of the transfer window.

If, and it is a big if, Michael Owen can stay healthy it could be quite a coup.......he is sort of like RVN in that he is a predatory player...he gives little to the build up of play, but can be deadly on the final shot into the net.

And he is on a free transfer. This can only help his chances for England in the World Cup.

I hope it works out for him, it would have been a massive come down to end up somewhere like Hull when he's only 29!
