scary isn't it? ...I was thinking maybe a Mark Hughes - Steptoe love child?

It's all going downhill for Hughesy now... first his boss might be getting jailed, leaving him with no funds... now he's soo far down the ropes he's appearing on Jeremy Kyle!

I was listening to the Annie Mac show on Radio 1 earlier, she was saying about Ian Wright leaving MOTD, because it's become "dry" and she agreed and said there should be a seperate "highlights" show, but with laughter. She said Russell Brand is a massive footie fan and even writes a column in the Guardian and she thinks he'd be a great choice of pundit to have on the show. Maybe someone like Colin Murray being the host? he does a decent job on Ch5. Someone suggested a show hosted by Alan Carr & the pundit being his dad (an ex-footie manager) and calling it Football Night Project I'd love to see a show that talks footie, has no bias and takes the p*ss a bit... especially if the show mocks losers like Jamie Redknapp & Garth Crooks. I could imagine Russell Brand coming out with some corkers about those 2 alone.

On the BBC website they're saying McClaren has said he might give Bentley and Young chances in the 2nd half.

I was watching the match on TV... hope he gets banned for 3 matches... should be more. It was soo obvious he tried it deliberately! jumped up... ball had gone... stuck his studs up and then stomped his studs straight into Etuhu's thigh.

Linkage?

I'd love to see Matty get a goal against Chelsea! ...the winner would be even better!

Apparently he's been left out to go finalise his move to West Ham.

Wayne Hemmingway has shed loads... my tutor at Uni knows him... Also.... did you know, Jack's brother, Fred has 800m... http://www.timesonline.co.uk/richlist/person/0,,5311,00.html

What bonanza? As for players that would leave if we were relegated... I think you're wrong... Brad would take a pay cut to stay with us... as would Sav & Tugay... Where-as I think even Mokoena would want to leave, because he goes on about how great it is to get the chance to play in the prem... I even think Peter would leave... he's a bit big-headed to be honest, he'd believe he's too much of a star not to be playing in the prem...

On official site, someone was saying, we'll be wearing our Red kit, and they'll be wearing their blue one. Lee said Rovers have to come up with something for when we play Basle, koz both our kits clash with theirs.

I heard if a team is worst in fair play league 3 years running, you get a points deduction at the start of the next season... is this true?

Would you stick Emo back on the bench then?

Rekon he'll get put at left-back? Not really fair on Emerton to kick him back to the bench after his performances at right-back, so far. But, I don't thik it'd be that fair on Gray either... but Lucas is better than Gray at left-back.

I never meant I want us to be like Chelsea! I meant I'd like to see a bit of money injected into the club, so we can compete to buy the odd gem. Like, Bellamy was a gem for us, but if it wasn't for his behaviour/attitude e.t.c. we'd have never have got him at that price, therefore we'd never have got the gem.
