My arab pal is in floods of tears at this news

Actually providing he was not on a high wage i would take robson, his game has never been about pace and he can pick a pass

I doubt we can pay any higher than that

Given he is contracted to 2016 I would think we would hold out for about 2 mill. A lot of a transfer fee is about what the remainder of the contract is worth. Say Mcginn is on 3k a week tops that would be about 1.1 mill roughly

He's just signed a contract extension

Brilliant. I have huge soft spot for Dortmund, started looking out for them when Booth went and it's now at the stage (and has been for a good few years) that if I had a second team it would be them. That said I'm quite surprised at how nervous I am about tomorrow.

Does it though? Dawkins made a very good point about this sort of praise of religion. Everything you have mentioned is purely subjective and not proveable because there is no test case. You can't say religion brings these things because you don't have exactly the same person going through exactly the same experiences at exactly the same time but without religion in their lives. Eg "my faith got me through the pain of losing my wife/becoming paralysed/going bankrupt etc." "How do you know you would not have done better without your faith?" "I just do" I need a little bit more than that I'm afraid

Religion. An out of date method of controlling the masses IMO. Islam is clearly the radge of the lot at the moment, I get quite frustrated when muslims try to convince me its "peaceful" religion. Its clearly fucking not, none of the Arbrahamic religions are to be fair but Islam at the moment is head and shoulders above the rest.

i would offer all 3 a trial and see how they do

Just found out, this is brilliant. Happy Friday folks!

Disagree, Beckham is the epitome of the model pro for me. Sid Lowe wrote a really good article about his time at madrid here http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/blog/2013/may/16/david-beckham-real-madrid-retires

tru dat

Its a total grower manc

we would all be disappointed if you didn't mav

I like flood, he's an old school midfielder in that he can pass, tackle, dribble and shoot. Vigurs is someone we should defo try and sign. I was amazed ICT let him go in the first place

Its the final you would want to go to isn't it. Have no preference on who wins

wigan are down

Really? But you listen to Coldplay though.......................

Really surprised Ozzy is being let go, think this is a big mistake. Rae i'm guessing its more to do with the fact his legs are gone than actual ability, Milsom i feel sympathy for as the talent is there but he just never stays injury free long enough to get ten games in a row. Very interesting that Magennis is getting a new deal, if he is actually played up front this could be a good thing.

you can't help but be a bit delighted for Zola

sounds like we finally have a manager that wants to win

iplayer for me

Sir Alex Ferguson's future as Manchester United manager was shrouded in doubt on Tuesday evening, with sources claiming that there would be a statement about his position and that the squad had been told to expect an announcement. Some of the United squad were at a golf day on Tuesday at Dunham Massey, where they played against members of the coaching staff and were told to prepare to receive news regarding their manager. United's press department could not be reached to confirm or deny the story. Since leading United to a 20th championship and the 13th of his 27-year reign at the club, the 71-year-old has offered no hint that he may end his tenure. Yet given that since he announced his retirement at the end of the 2001-2 season months ahead of the close of that campaign before performing a U-turn, Ferguson vowed to make any future decision at short notice. United had earlier confirmed reports that Ferguson is booked in for hip surgery immediately after the club return from their three-week pre-season tour at the end of July. That Ferguson will have his summer break and then travel to Thailand, Australia, Japan and Hong Kong before the operation suggested he was not going to be on the sidelines for too long.

He's been at this for ages, I'll be interested to see how McInnes deals with this
