...*raises eyebrow* I like the blue, I think it's pretty.

Looking for this training top in Medium size.

I wish I shared your optimism.

Before my time, but his reputation precedes him and by all accounts he was a credit to the game. RIP.

You can relive that moment here:

Perez was quality in his short spell here. Didn't he score an overhead kick against Lyon in the Uefa Cup or did I imagine that?

No, that's not what I mean, and you know it. In what way was it in Kean's interest? I'm curious. Maybe Samba was 'alienated' because he was digging his heels in for another pay rise? Historically, that would seem more likely.

Samba had milked the club for all he could, Den. The fact he left to play in one of the most racist leagues in the game, and still playing there, tells you all you need to know about his priorities ($$$$).

In desperate times, you need your best players to stand up and be counted. Too many of them used the off-pitch drama as a smokescreen to force their way out of the club.

Nzonzi had problems with Allardyce, and Samba would hold us to ransom every year for a new contract. When the going got tough, they jumped ship.

It's no coincidence that our Gallic contingent were all boat-rockers that season (Nzonzi, Givet, Samba). You wouldn't want any of them in the trenches.

Hey, it's been awhile, alright?

That new Chaser would get it.

That kind of whimsy has been part of the MGS franchise from the beginning.

Especially when he doesn't treat his favourites with the same standards.

Rudy was more of a rounded striker but his presence alone encouraged the team to play the easy ball. Rhodes won't thrive on that kind of service.

I think the 'lynching' comment was a giveaway that it was Drog. That's the kind of crap he always comes out with.

Careful what you wish for.

And not for nothing, Kalinic's coach at Fiorentina is Paulo Sousa. I remember putting his name forward after Kean's exit.

The wonders of playing for a football manager and not a hoofball merchant.

He's no Kevin Davies.

Just thought I'd leave this here: Villarreal go top of La Liga with win against Atletico Madrid

Nothing will beat the live 'Enders episode:

Ah, Lewandowski. Another signing the Trust wouldn't sanction.
