No. I take it all back. If the interviewer hadn't asked him about Liverpool signing Barry, he probably wouldn't have said anything. I hate being mislead like this.

It does seem a bit odd for him to come out and say that. You don't usually hear footballers asking other footballers to come and join their team via the media.

Is it better than singing 'bl'army' over and over again?

Thanks, Brendy.

I'm guessing that maybe some of the less experienced members of the squad like Henry and Pearce might move up to be part of the 'cover' rather than the third choice 'youngsters' this time around.

You honestly think I'm joking don't you? How can I find out if no one gives me a straight reply?

Anyway, if I'd read the first few posts properly it gives me some idea at least.

I used to go to school with someone called Simon Cox, so it is kind of weird to find so many of them in the team I've chosen to support. Are they cloning him?

I was thinking that 22 players in a team meant 1 for every position and 1 as back-up. Wouldn't it work if all the youngsters were used as back-up (subs or whatever) with more experienced players as first-team regulars? I don't know these things, so please tell me if I'm wrong. How do you go about se...

I quite liked Oster.

Just when I think we've got the definitive worst moment covered, up comes someone else with another and I can't decide which one is worst.

I think he's got first team potential.

I really do.

Don't you just wish there was some actual football to talk about?

It must be a really slow day.

i think thats rubbish but we are all entitled to an opinion personally i think it was far more to do with playing for a big team, having a chance of playing in/winning all the big competitions, than the cash which was a very nice bonus if we had offered 50KPW he would still have been mental to stay...

Now you're just teasing me!

Is that all?

One of the key things for us to succeed this season is that the players will need to remember HOW to play in the Championship. The style of football is very different to that of the Premier League. Also, those of you waiting before you take a punt, don't be surprised when ALL those odds are shorten...

Why is it that Doyle is trying hard but poor, but Shorey is not trying hard enough? How do you know the difference?

Myself, I thought Shorey was by far one of the most hard working and effective players on the pitch this season. His tireless efforts and devotion to the cause clearly demonstrated why he is worthy of an England place cruelly denied him by playing for a low profile team. If a higher profile team we...

Can I just say what a great name 'Athole Still' is. I wondered if it was an anagram of something, or the name of some bottled water at first, but no.

Sorry. Please carry on with the discussion.

Thaumagurist* Shorey can go, as long it isn't to Wet Sham.

The real question is, can we replace him with a left back of similar quality?

Do you think Golbourne can replace him?
