Blyme

He's dead good on FM16 by the way.

At best he'll be the answer to a pub quiz question in 5yrs time.

What a terrible shame.

Aye, always seemed like a nice bloke. Such a shame he's a sexpest

Got an amazing 5 star review for the podcast;

Think we've got a better chance of getting Joe Hart.

That's the thing isn't it. Everton are currently much better than us, they've an all right chance of European football, he'd be playing alongside much better players, it's his "home" club, they'll be more willing to pay wages he's willing to accept etc. etc.

Rooney won't want to come is another reason.

I think you're all forgetting that he was quite good at football.

Terry and Big Les from Spalding cannot fathom why people would take a chant on the terraces seriously, 20 minutes before losing their shit because Chocolate eggs don't have "Easter" on them.

He's undeniably much, much better than Diame or Perez have been, but there's more chance of Carrick coming to Newcastle than there is of Rooney. Too expensive, we're not the level he wants to play at, there's no sentimental factors... Sigurdsson would be brilliant, Cairney would be exciting and both are much more likely than Rooney.

Zero chance of this happening

I get why people use that term, but it does make me chuckle. Like they're a maverick copper in an 80's movie, rather than a dickhead.

How do you stop an isolated, disenfranchised, radicalised lad in Solihull hiring a car, driving down to London, ploughing through a crowd and stabbing some people? There can't be as many warning flags in his behaviour prior to the incident as there would be for a more complex, coordinated attack? I mean, obviously the plan would be to stop them becoming radicalised in the first place, but once they are...

Rather spend that money on someone who's building a career, rather than one who'se waving goodbye to it.

It's the "dude" that makes it.

Just think Shelvey struggles to impact the game if he isn't getting plenty of time on the ball.

I know you can, but you've not been bemoaning the style of football, stressing about what the chasing pack are doing, worrying what might happen if the wheels come off.

And is he?

One trouble I see, is that there's a few players who've been integral this season that might not be up to scratch in the Premier League; Gayle, Shelvey, Yedlin. They've been good in the Championship no doubt, but it's not like it was last time, it was clear than Jonas, Coloccini, Enrique, Harper Taylor et al could do the job in the top flight. Because there are so many new faces and so few with lots of Premier League experience, we may need to buy players from the Premier League and I can't imagine Ashley being ok with paying out for that.
