So if we can apparently fill a 60k seat stadium each week then why is it that it takes over a month to sell Season Tickets for one of the best teams in the world?

He will wear the number 16 shirt

Opening day fixtures: Espanyol v Granada, 16:00 Levante v Real Zaragoza, 16:00 Malaga v Barcelona, 16:00 Osasuna v Valencia, 16:00 Racing Santander v Getafe, 16:00 Rayo Vallecano v Mallorca, 16:00 Real Betis v Sevilla, 16:00 Real Madrid v Athletic Bilbao, 16:00 Real Sociedad v Atletico Madrid, 16:00 Villarreal v Sporting Gijon, 16:00 Difficult start for Real Madrid by the look of it

Good. He does not deserve that kind of abuse because the politics had nothing to do with him, he is just trying to play football. Hopefully we won't go back to Malaysia for a while to teach their fans a lesson

didn't the Shed used to be the Umbro South Shed end or something/

yeah sounds like Kitchen. Maybe it will be a team of women then Apologies for my casual sexism

Please no! Fat Roy up front with Torres He looks just like a dinosaur, Gourlay, Gourlay The stuff he talks about's such a bore, Gourlay, Gourlay For f*ck sake go and buy someone Your fat ass weights over a ton Ronald Gourlay you're a waste of space

its Gourlay's late Christmas present for us all!!

well sorry for trying to help. I speak it near fluently. Puta

I speak some Spanish

Dave Whelan was asking for about £10m for him which is pretty good value although I would not be surprised if he took advantage of the amount of money we have and push the price up for us a bit He is 25 so I would say that he has probably not peaked as well although his attitude could be a problem (I don't see him as a week in week out starter for us)

Ron 'I look like a dinosaur' Gourlay says: GIVE ME MORE MONEY!!!

I'd be quite happy for them to re name east and west but Shed and MH= NO!

That kit would get a bit dirty when I play her

The Derby and Hull kits look nice with the photography effects but won't look that nice and shiny in a real game and will look quite tacky IMO. There is something I quite like about Blackpool away

I hope AVB does not change the team at half time. It clearly is disrupting to the flow of the game and if the players are to learn his new way then they should be given adequate time in real-game situations to do so. Josh should play CAM as well CDM is not for him

agree entirely. He seems to lost a bit of his creativity which he showed against Ipswich and Newcastle in the League Cup in particular. It is clear that DM is not his natural position and against Newcastle in the league he lost the ball often in the middle of the pitch because he was not in a position to make a killer pass.

nope a friend of a friend of a friend's hamster's cousin told me it is Ronaldo and Messi

EXACTLY HE LOOKS JUST LIKE A T-REX!!!!

why does Gourlay remind me of a dinosaur?

Its a prawn sarnie brigade pre match cocktailing bar now to prepare them for their caviar

As long as we improve each game leading up to the new season I am happy. We were not at all convincing yesterday but we were in a similar situation this time last season and look how we started that season. Obviously AVB has been assessing players and still has time to do some wheeling and dealing in the transfer market yet. Also, due to the home grown rule we would have to sell before we could buy a foreign player which could be the reason for lack of movement in the market. Finally, Villas Boas is trying to make the team play with a flowing passing style that they are not used to. We have not, with this crop of players, played in this way so it may take a while for the style to catch on

I voted for number 6 because I think we need to get the 'real' Shed back in some shape or form. 3 and 4 look quite good but it would be nice to get more history back into the ground I'd like to see a long mural going around the top of the shed upper that would look really good IMO

As -25- mentioned it could be a problem in their heads. it could be that 2 footedness is not worked on in training and so they dont have the confidence to use their weak foot. If you look at Barcelona in attacking positions there is so much movement from every player so they have more than one option

I understand that he is quite young but we have never given him a chance apart from 10 minutes as a sub. He was hardly used last season but he certainly has potential. What is his natural position? I was always told he was an attacking winger. And finally he can't be much worse than Malouda or Anelka are on the wings surely?
