You need to spend less time on Fifa 2012 - it was a doing about 18 months ago as I recall 4-1? 4-2 ?

Go and look it up if you've forgotten

Robin was shocking mate - you're not wrong

oh the micky mouse cup when you really did play our kids unlike the 5 1 when you had mostly your first team out

i meant league games

So you do remember - good lad

I'm really pleased about the Sigurdson signing.I thought he had a great season with Swansea. He is quick,skilful and gets goals, I think he is just made to order for us and on todays standards not expensive either a bargain in fact.

What a nice bloke that Brendan Rodgers is;

"The Iceland international Sigurdsson joined Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday after pulling out of a £6.8m move to Swansea City, and a reunion with Rodgers at Anfield because of the personal terms. The Liverpool manager has yet to make a signing since his arrival on 1 June, although he met the squad only this week. He revealed the Sigurdsson deal collapsed because he was not prepared to bow to the midfielder's wage demands, understood to be in excess of £40,000 per week.

Rodgers said: "I am quite relaxed. He did fantastic for me at Swansea last season. I brought him in when he was not playing at Hoffenheim. He was very good for me and scored seven goals in 19 games. We sat down and spoke and we said that playing football was the most important thing but obviously the financial side was important, too. We agreed a deal for Swansea but then I left to become Liverpool manager.

"I know what the market was and I was not prepared to pay anything over what I knew had already been agreed before. Liverpool would have provided Gylfi with a wonderful opportunity to perform with a manager that he knew at a club that is a footballing institution. But he has decided to go to Tottenham for whatever reason. I wish him all the best and he is a good kid. There is no ill feeling. We have got other targets and we will move on."

Agrees to a deal then changes his mind to demand £40k a week

The boy should fit in perfectly to the EPL - a natural

what about the manager. he changed hes mind for more money aswell.
he told the player he wouldbe there at start of the season then changes hes mind

yet you only pick on the player.
one player here is a kid and the other is old.

It's a dog eat dog World. Surely no one is surprised. I could mention Scumball but I won't. Oh too late it's done

You reckon money played a part Lought ?

Very likely - rather disappointing someone giving their word then going back on it

Very poor where I come from

If a man gives his word that is it

If he breaks it he is nothing and his word is worth nothing


I anticipate my career as aPL footballer would have been poorly paid

mangers cant expect loyality when then show none themselfs

Oh, are you talking about Sol Campbell? Anyway £ 40,000 a week, Chelskis tealady earns more than that.

No Dave I am talking about a player agreeing to a move to Swansea and a wage he and the club both found reasonable

Then increasing his wage demands and going back on his agreement

In most lines of work, indeed in everyday life, anyone behaving like that would be regarded as a dishonest money grabbing little sh*t


In football though it is yet another everyday story of Premier League folk

Indeed, dont see it getting an better, however Sigs request, considering there are bods earning £ 200,000 a week is not extortionate, oh the joys of football agents, are they as bad as ticket touts?

I am allowing my wallet to do the talking

I read yesterday in the letter from Red and White Holdings aka Alisher Usmanov to the AFC board that they "own" one in three seats in the Emirates !

Okey dokey Mister Usmanov- rather than anicoll5, no1 son and no2 daughter attending the 12-15 games we would normally go to next season we are going to sit at home for one third of them - your third

You had best get your lardie Uzbek a*se down to fill the empty slots

You "own" f*ck all Mr Usmanov - pieces of paper mate - the value of which can go down as well as up

I do have to laugh at the parallels I can draw between Scumball and RVP

Both alluded to staying if the club showed ambition, both left citing wanting to win things. You Gooners do have short memories, you was all pi**ing yourselves when Scumball left us for yous, now RVP is Hannibal!!
