And what about the tactical change he made to the way we played last season, the new way in which he deployed Douglas and Flitcroft, that was a major part in us winning 4 games on the trot and securing our Premiership status for another year? Selective memory? Of course he's a tactician. Going over the top and trying to break Yorke's leg = Good tactic Sticking his knee up at Spurs to indicate some naughty on-field goings-on = Good tactic Seriously, this team has in the past proved that it can play attractive football at pace on the break, would it be able to do that if Souness were tactically naive?

No! Let's face it he'd be to overlapping fullback play what George Best is to temperance and healthy complexions.

According to our Graeme in the LET, DT will be pushed into a more central position thsi season ...

I do hope the squirrel gets his hampsteads into Dwight Yorke's nuts.

See, what did I tell you?!

Whatever he's got to say, I disagree entirely with it. We all know what it's going to be (if he's got the nuts to say anything). "Mr Souness was horrid to me and I only wanted to go home early because my missus wanted me to go back and sometimes he never said anything to me in the corridor and sometimes he wouldn't play me and and and ... s'not fair!" Bleeding whinging get. I hope he fluffs loads of goals next season with the ball pinging off his shin, nose, elbow etc. Actually, I don't hope I expect!

"inhibriated"?! Classic! "I'm schnot in any way inhibriated, oschifer"

BBC reports that Chelskov's spending over the last year is approximately 190 MILLION. I'm too shocked to be properly shocked.

only Dwight and he'll be wearing womens undies on his head Obviously he's been stung by Graeme's criticism and now means business!

Perhaps our lot will wear stockings (lederhosen?) on their heads?

Castle Greyskull?

You've removed Paul McGarry's post but left the ones in where he's been quoted?!

It's probably Andreas Weiss from Stockholm ...

"Angry of Blackburn writes to complain about all the repeats on TV." ... and also everything Souness says and does!

Thompson has never played central midfield for us, as far as I know, and is coming back from injury. Perhaps asking a tad too much to have him slot in there?!

Yorkie's probably already burnt his. Are you still there, Yorke? Why haven't you flipped off yet?!

Swing low, sweet Andy Cole Coming for to hit the ball high! Swing low, sweet Andy Cole, coming for to hit the ball high! We put him in on goal, and what did he do? He cocked it up and looked to the skies! We rolled the ball across and teed the prat up, He took his time and played an air shot, Swing low ...

Romario?! Garrincha? Maradona Sr? Geoff Hurst?

Nope. 18 hours since Cole left and no replacement. Souness out!

That's something you've said before, naturlly I disagree.

Shall we have a vote on how many goals he'll score this season? I'm going for 12 (now watch him score 25!)

What on Earth is that?! McEverley at the back, he's been out for ages! And Nissa?! Emerton at RB?! Our best 11 (I think): Friedel Neill, Amoruso, Matteo, Gray Gally, Fergie, Tugay, de Pedro Dickov, Stead

How can he be an after-thought if we'd been looking at him for a year? OK, so we didn't get McBride and ended up with Stead, but possibly we would've gone for him anyway? None of which detracts from Dave's original point that if you spend peanuts on a player, you don't necessarily get a monkey.

Yes, Dickov. How can you say that for sure when there are no quotes to support it?

If that is the case, is it really such a big deal? We'll find out who he is in time anyway, on the assumption that we sign him.
