So next season, Zendon, Veron, Gronkjaer and Petit will have moved on but it is highly likely Beckham and three members of Porto's midfield will have arrived.

Parker and Cole will not get a kick whilst Bridge will be sub to Roberto Carlos at the back.

I really don't think Beckham will be in a Chelsea shirt any time soon.

He's staying in Madrid as far as I know.

Definition of profligacy - 5 goalies in your squad - good grief!

Well, they've sacked him now.

Nice to see they listened to the fans!

I think Ranieiri is in line for a 6 mill pay-off (he was contracted until 07).

* How sickening would it be if the first goal he scored for Man U he then kissed the shirt.

We all know how that feels, don't we boys and girls?

Although there's not the same antipathy at Ewood for Chelski as there is at Elland Road for United.

And yes, I wouldn't mind him at Ewood. He's a fine respected coach.

Tell me you're kidding?

If you thought Grabbi was bad, then that's nothing on the shower of crud that Hoolahoop has bought.

He can stay at Liverpool as far as I'm concerned!

Now you've set me off again.

I was in floods of tears at half-time, AND during his Radio Rovers interview.

Highly-strung, n'est pas?

Maybe I was mistaken about Dunny being an overweight porker ... turns out it's that degree in footballology again, I really need to take it because it's showing me up!

Cheers for being a good sport Dunn.

I struggle to find the words for that one.

Hang a hanky on their heads as well Bryan and you have the next trend generation of dedicated fashion followers - believe me you would if you had seen the natives of Tottenham on Saturday.

I did see a number of Chas and Dave lookalikes down the Gilpins after the game.

"Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahn to Marget! You can keep yer Costa Bravaaaa, I'm telling I'd rathaaaa hav a day daaaahn at Marget with all me fam-aleeeeeeeeeeeee!"

You carn't go any where these days without being recognized.

It's all the more surprising considering how many lagered-up geezers carrying sex-dolls and wearing an "Orvil" shirt there are!

Sam Dingle, wherefore art thou?

Bet he's not a happy pooper.

10 mill transfer kitty - oh please!

What on Earth have they got rid of Ternent for?

He's one of the few things they had going for them. They've got rid of him, Little's going, Blake could be going.

I'm loving it.

You'll never get into a football match carrying a sword you medieval fool!

You could have someone's eye out/ head off if you're not careful.

And no, you can't have an inflatable mace instead.

Today I have bought a pair of armbands (if there are floods in London I'm laughing) and three inflatable Rovers footballs.

I'm still working on the Tron outfit.

Attach a frisbee to your head with a large lacky band, put some shades on and get some of that skateboarding gear.

I think it's a bit heartless to laugh while London floods, Bob. Think of the reptile house at London Zoo - I doubt those poor beggars can swim.

He made a racist remark, but if he didn't intend to denigrate Desailly because of his skin colour, then he wasn't racist, no.

I think he just had a mental abberation, that's all. He didn't outright call him by the words he used, he said some people would refer to him as *insert Ron's words*.

You never truly know what is going through someone's mind. I can only go with my gut feeling that he isn't a racist, just someone who's prone to making daft unthinking comments.

That said, he had to resign. I just hope he comes back at some stage, but at 65, he probably won't.

It's the feeling behind the words that counts, and not necessarily what you say ...

Jordan, it really does sound like you need some lessons in beering it!

Not only do you allegedly get smashed on Carling (I never thought it possible anyone could do that), but it seems you're happy quaffing bubblegum diet beer in any old roughhouse.

You didn't take your dolly in there as well, did you?

Worrying.

Shouldn't that be:

"Gallagher and Stead are the GAS GAS GAS!"?

Yeah, I know, but you'd only be bouncing up and down because the bloke in front was. They should tell the guy in front to stop!

Inflatable money? That'll never work.

How about attaching £2 coins to rockets and flares and firing them in the direction of teh stewards (possibly whilst on the bouncy castle)?

True.

Maybe chocolate money? :-)

Why don't you all take £2 coins and chuck them at the stewards?

Oh for goodness' sakes, give him his job back. If he was racist then he wouldn't have bought black players.

It's easy/ right on to condemn but it takes a bit more balls to stand up and say that he's not a racist. I don't believe he is. He is eccentric and I can understand how he's upset people.

But, at the risk of being seen to be naive, the term "racist" does not sit easily with his name.

He's made a very silly mistake, he's apologised and should pay his penance. Then he should be allowed to have his job back, on the condition that he won't be a naughty pooper.

Ooops.

Forsooth, 'twas drunk.

"Send Fat Tom on!"

(as heard by a mate at Palace!)

Time to bring back "The Black and White Minstrel Show".

With your host and compere, Big Ron! He could do the closing number as well.

Would go down a treat! It wouldn't be racist, just old-fashioned.
