My most embarrassing experience hunting autographs was because of my little snake friend humiliating me. I was out playing football in the school yard and my friend said that's Russell something who plays for Burnley having a kick around with his son. He begged me to get his autograph and promised I could play on his nes. So I said OK I went over to him and asked for his autograph. The guy gave me a bewildered look. I said you are Russell (can't remember his name) he said no I'm not. I looked at my friend he was rolling around the floor laughing. I went back to him red as a beetroot. The guy was just an ordinary guy playing with his son

Hes a breath of fresh air after smelling the pungent odor of mowbroro cigarettes

I had a similar experience getting autographs. It was the 80s and there was a charity football match with rugby players footballers etc I managed to get Bryan robsons autograph but there was a black rugby player called Martin offiah I think it was. I went to get his autograph and he said do you know who I am. I said no. He looked pissed off. But he gave me his autograph anyway. I was only about 8 so I didn't know any different really.

Tony gale. Played 1 season he won a league title

No it doesn't . That's mowbray talk. Jdt is a winner. He'll want success today regardless of the platitudes he comes out with about journeys or projects

We got a good fee for Armstrong. Hes probably only worth 10 million now

Nathan tella looks a really good player

Chimbonda?

He means he can't run as well as he used to but he's much more experienced. He's better at dealing with more physical challenges. Wharton is still a boy really

He has the technique of a Spanish player and the heart of an English one. Ok I stole that off wenger regarding wilshire

I have a funny feeling hirst will score tomorrow

Long way to go before they even come close to being brilliant owners.

When everyone is fit I would go with Kaminski Brittain hyam ayala pickering Travis (holding midfielder) Morton Wharton Diaz hirst dack

I wouldn’t break up the morton Wharton partnership

My take is its been the most productive window for years. I think unlike Mowbray, jdt has a plan and isn't just scatterguning with his approach because I don't think Mowbray really cared about promotion. Jdt is obviously ambitious and I think he will add more quality in the January window. Hyam is definitely going to be a very steady player for us. Mola is versatile so he covers alot of areas. I hope hirst can prove his worth. Wharton is like we've just signed a 30 million pound player. Of course I would have liked another attacker but I firmly believe jdt knows what he's doing

Stuttgart

Sunderland fans are in for a shock

If we are challenging for promotion then I can see Brereton holding off till the summer before definitely deciding. He refers to us as rovers. So he clearly loves the club. I don't think he particularly wants to go. I wouldn’t rule out him signing a new contract. He has too much respect for the club to leave us without some kind of profit

Mola? Hes at stuttgart. Began his career at Chelsea.

Not going over the top but I see him as similar to pedri at Barcelona. If he was doing this in the premiership pundits would be salivating over him

Didn't realise hirst was 6'3. Hopefully he's a better header of the ball than Gallagher

Leicester fans are really turning on Rogers. I mean comments like I hate the man. He's a clown etc. I can understand that it's been a poor season but I can't understand the level of hate for a guy that got them 2 top 5 finishes an fa cup and some good European nights. Maybe perspective is needed. Leicester were a championship team not so long ago. Are they expecting champions league football?

Scummers can f*ck off

You've just made me hungry for ale House pie

I know. I just woken up when I typed that
