They would have to bang bloody hard before I let them in. We definitely need to look higher up the player scale if we are serious about making an impression in Europe. We already have Aina,RLC,Chalobah that are collecting dust. We should be looking at upgrading the starting 11 if possible and to use current ones for backups IMHO

Rumour Mill: Juve offer Arsenal swap; Chelsea’s Balde battle Juventus are willing to offer Miralem Pjanic in part-exchange for Alexis Sanchez http://www.teamtalk.com/news/rumour-mill-juve-offer-arsenal-swap-deal-chelseas-balde-battle

Proper bunch of conyo's! lol

Yeah but sometime the answer really is 4 lol I think he would be a great asset. Can play anywhere up front and hes got good defence too. With Lazio not really hitting their stride this season I could see both him and de Vrij looking for a new home.

Apparently still a target of ours Four clubs of the Premier fight to take to Ferreira Carrasco https://translate.google.co.uk/translate?hl=en&sl=es&u=http://www.donbalon.com/noticia/detalle/45070/cuatro-clubs-de-la-premier-se-pelean-por-llevarse-a-ferreira-carrasco&prev=search Chelsea want Belgian international: In-demand star has a £86m buyout clause http://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/579711/Chelsea-Transfer-News-Atletico-Madrid-Yannick-Carrasco

Yep And that would let us get a striker too. Imagine that top line with a good striker with him and Eden! Give them a couple of good creative lads feeding them, 1 in CM and 1 in CB and they would run riot.

I cant see Diego wanting to go there tho. Think he wants the Spanish life again if China doesn't come off. But no harm in asking him eh!

Couldn't agree more. We really need to start setting our sights at the level we want to achieve. Theres really not that many 20+ goal scorers around, specially ones PL proven. We go in with a proper realistic bid instead of trying to penny pinch and we might just get him.

Was after the the Everton win. @ 7:15

So important. The lads aregetting these massive wages and people around them blowing smoke up their arses at a very young age and I know just how easy it is to go off the rails if they dont have a good advisor around to help them get thru it. Theres all the trappings of fame and fortune. Girls,booze,gear,hangers on and just pissing it up the wall generally. Our accademy at least I should think have good advisors where thats concerned helping them from an early age. Getting them to understand the traps and learning investments. You're right. Ive learned thru my travels all countries do things very differently. Whether its taxes,laws,customs or greasing palms of peoples hands to bypass red tape or get things done quietly or faster.

A thing we seem to forget is the chaps still only 23! I'd be happy to pay £60 + mill for him.

We could stick him on RW as he plays all offensive positions. Let him and Eden roam around free like Eden does now. Buy Morata or similar and we would basically have 3 strikers. Or imagine Eden Rom Sanchez!! It would be amazing. We would just need some creativity CM ar CBs to get the balls to them.

Sounds like hes made to be a WB Why cant Roman buy another team so they could buy him and loan him to us! Oh wait! Shitty did that!

Ive had this awhile but some still make me spit my morning cuppa all over my monitor! 25 things to do in an elevator 1) When there's only one other person in the elevator, tap them on the shoulder and then pretend it wasn't you. 2)Push the buttons and pretend they give you a shock. Smile, and go back for more. 3) Ask if you can push the button for other people, but push the wrong ones. 4) Call the Psychic Hotline from your cell phone and ask if they know what floor your on. 5) Hold the doors open and say your waiting for a friend. After a while, let the doors close, and say, "Hi Gregg. How's your day been" 6) Drop a pen and wait until someone goes to pick it up,then scream,"That's mine!" 7) Bring a camera and take pictures of everyone in the elevator. 8) Move your desk into the elevator and whenever anyone gets on, ask if they have an appointment. 9) Lay down the twister mat and ask people if they would like to play. 10) Leave a box in the corner, and when someone gets on, ask them if they can hear ticking. 11) Pretend you are a flight attendant and review emergency procedures and exits with the passengers. 12) Ask, "Did you feel that?" 13) Stand really close to someone, sniffing them occasionally. 14) When the doors close, announce to the others, "It's okay, don't panic, they open again!" 15) Swat at flies that don't exist. 16) Call out, "Group Hug!" and then enforce it. 17) Grimace painfully while smacking your forehead and muttering, 18) Crack open your briefcase or purse, and while peering inside, ask, "Got enough air in there?" 19) Stand silently and motionless in the corner, facing the wall,without getting off. 20) Stare at another passenger for a while, then announce in horror, "Your one of THEM!" and back away slowly. 21) Wear a puppet on your hand and use it to talk to the other passengers. 22) Listen to the elevator walls with your stethoscope. 23) Make explosion noises when anyone presses a button. 24) Stare, grinning at another passenger for a while, then announce, "I have new socks on". 25) Draw a little square on the floor with chalk and announce to the other passengers, "This is MY personal space!"

Best Beer Commercial http://www.veoh.com/watch/v1166236439ytKkxBz

Like saying beer is over rated! I'd have a party in me pants if this came off! (Now that is very mature )

Mines about right apart fromgetting wobbly to early sometimes Alcohol Horoscopes ARIES (Mar 21- Apr 19) Drinking style: Impulsive Aries people like to party and sometimes don't know when to call it a night. Their competitive streak makes them prone to closing-time shot contests. They're sloppy, fun drunks, and they get mighty flirty after a couple tipples. Getting Aries people drunk is a good way to get what you want out of them, should other methods fail. Aries can become bellicose when blotto, but they will assume that whatever happened should be forgiven (if not forgotten) by sunrise. They can be counted on to do the same for you -- so long as you haven't gone and done anything really horrible to them last night, you sneaky Gemini. TAURUS (Apr 20 - May 20) Drinking style: Taurus prefers to drink at a leisurely pace, aiming for a mellow glow rather than a full-on zonk. Since a truly intoxicated Taurus is a one-person stampede, the kind of bull-in-a-china-shop inebriate who spills red wine on white carpets and tells fart jokes to employers, the preference for wining and dining (or Bud and buddies) to body shots and barfing is quite fortunate for the rest of us. This is not to say that the Bull is by any means a teetotaler -- god, no. A squiffy Taurus will get, er, gregarious (full of loudmouth soup, some would say) and is extremely amusing to drag to a karaoke bar when intoxicated. GEMINI (May 21 - Jun 21) Drinking style: Gemini's can drink without changing their behavior much-- they're so naturally chatty and short-attention-spanned that it's just hard to tell sometimes. They can amaze you by conversing with finesse and allusion, then doing something unbelievable in an extremely advanced state of intoxication, like puking in your shoe. Gemini's possess the magic ability to flirt successfully (and uninfuriatingly, which is very tricky) with several people at once. They like to order different cocktails every round -- repetition is boring -- and may create a theme (like yellow drinks: beer, sauvignon blanc and limoncello) for their own amusement. CANCER (Jun 22 - Jul 22) Drinking style: Cancer is a comfort drinker -- and an extra wine with dinner or an after-work beer or six can be extra comforting, can't it, Cancer darling? Like fellow water signs Scorpio and Pisces, Crabs must guard against lushery. Cancers are brilliant at ferreting out secret parties and insinuating themselves on VIP lists -- and, in true Hollywood style, Cancers are never really drunk; instead, they get "tired and emotional" (read: weepy when lubricated). But there's nothing better than swapping stories (and spit) over a few bottles of inky red wine with your favorite Cancer. Even your second-favorite Cancer will do. The sign also rules the flavor vanilla, and you'd be adored if you served up a vanilla vodka and soda. LEO (Jul 23 - Aug 22) Drinking style: Leo likes to drink and dance -- they' re often fabulous dancers, and usually pretty good drinkers as well, losing their commanding dignity and turning kittenish. Of course, they're quite aware they're darling - Leos will be Leos, after all. They generally know their limit, probably because they loathe losing self-control. When they get over-refreshed, expect flirting to ensue -- and perhaps not with the one who brought them. But Leo's not the type to break rules even when drunk, so just try to ignore it (try harder, Cancer) and expect a sheepish (and hung over) Lion to make it up to you the next day. VIRGO (Aug 23 - Sept 22) Drinking style: Cerebral Virgos are compelled to impose order onto their bender. Their famously fussy quest for purity could lead to drinking less than other signs, sure -- but it could also lead to drinking booze neat, to sucking down organic wine or just to brand loyalty. They rarely get fully shellacked -- but, oh, when they do! Virgo's controlled by the intellect, but there's an unbridled beast lurking within, and they let it loose when walloped. It's dead sexy (and surprisingly unsloppy). As one Virgo friend used to declare, "I'm going to drink myself into a low level of intelligence tonight." A toast to the subgenius IQ! LIBRA (Sept 23 - Oct 23) Drinking style: "I'm just a social drinker," slurs Libra, "it's just that I'm so damn social." Libra loves nothing more than to party, mingle and relate to everyone. Whether dipped in favor of Good Libra (with Insta-Friend device set to "on") or heavier on the Evil Libra side (they are little instigators when bored), the Scales can really work a room. Charming as they are, Libras are notoriously lacking in self-control, however, which can get them into all sorts of trouble -- including wearing their wobbly boots waaaay too early in the evening, flirting with their best friend's beau or even blacking out the night's events entirely. Oops! SCORPIO (Oct 24 - Nov 21) Drinking style: Don't ever tell Scorpios they've had enough, for they'll smirk at you and quietly but intentionally keep tippling till they're hog-whimpering drunk, out of 100-proof spite. Scorpios like to drink, and screw you if you have a problem with that. Most of them see the sauce as something to savor in itself, and not as a personality-altering tool - though if depressed, self-loathing Scorps seek total obliteration. But generally, they're fascinating drinking pals, brilliant conversationalists and dizzying flirts. They also remember everything -- especially what you did when you were blitzed. Only drink with a Scorpio who likes you! SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 - Dec 21) Drinking style: In vino veritas -- and, for Sagittarius, in booze blurtiness: When buttered, they'll spill all your secrets and many of their own. Tactlessness aside, Sagittarius is just plain fun to drink with. This is a sign of serious partying (what else would you expect from the sign of Sinatra, Keith Richards, the Bush twins and Anna Nicole Smith?). They're the people who chat up everyone in the room, then persuade the entire crowd to travel somewhere else -- like a nightclub, or a playgroun d, or Cancun. Good-natured hi-jinks are sure to ensue (including a high possibility of loopy groping; spontaneous Sag is a brilliant booty call). CAPRICORN (Dec 22 - Jan 19) Drinking style: Capricorn is usually described as practical, steadfast,money-hungry and status-thirsty -- no wonder they get left off the astrological cocktail-party list. But this is the sign of David Bowie and An nie Lennox, not to mention Elvis. Capricorn is the true rock star: independent, powerful and seriously charismatic, not too eager to please. And if they make money being themselves, who are you to quibble? But just like most rock stars, they're either totally on or totally off, and they generally need a little social lubricant to loosen up and enjoy the after party, especially if they can hook up with a cute groupie. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 - Feb 18) Drinking style: Aquarius and drinking don't go together that well (except for water, that is). They have an innate tendency toward know-it-allism, and if they get an idea while sizzled, they're more stubborn than a stain or a stone. If they're throwing a party or organizing an outing, however, they're too preoccupied with their duties to get combative and they make perfectly charming drunks in that case. Fortunately, they're usually capital drink-nursers. They also make the best designated drivers (if you can get them before they start raising their wrist) Aquarius is fascinated by drunk people and capable of holding interesting conversations with soused strangers while sober. PISCES (Feb 19 - Mar 20) Drinking style: If you're a Pisces, you've probably already heard that you share a sign and an addictive personality -- with Liz Taylor, Liza Minelli and Kurt Cobain. Not only do Pisces like to lose themselves in the dreamy, out-there feeling that only h ooch can give, but they build up a mighty tolerance fast. Who needs an expensive date like that? On the other hand, they're fabulously enchanting partners, whether in conversation or in crime. With the right Pisces, you can start out sharing a pitcher of margaritas and wind up in bed together for days. The phrase "addictive personality" can be read two ways you know
