That was ok surely!!? :eek:

As for predictions...I really think Man U will go top. It won't fill me with glee, but I think van Gaal will sort them, and get van Persie back on his game. I've a feeling Rooney may get side lined. The only caveat to this is the time he has before the season opener, getting players in and seeing the ones he has at first hand. He won't stand for any 'attitude'. No idea what Leeds will do as the players coming in will need to settle, and I've no idea who, or how good half of them are!? We could be superb ar carbage....though Hockaday does'nt fill me with vast confidence, and I assume Cellinio will be part-time manager anyway....

Assume it will be car crash stuff, and then be pleasantly surprised when they get it right once a decade. It's the best idea when it come to Leeds. The Mansfield result is not good, even if only a pre season, think Vivani went back to Italy to assess things after seeing how grim Leeds were.

I was impressed by Middlesbrough yesterday as they easily beat the Dale. After beating Wigan and losing to Bolton (though playing well!) the pre-season friendlies were going ok for Dale up to yesterday. Still the Boro can splash out millions on players and we have to sell our best striker Scott Hogan to balance the books that's life in the lower leagues :D

My tip for promotion from the Championship this year will be Middlesbrough :cool:

Why do they have undisclosed transfer fees ? Wouldn't it show in the club's accounts anyway at the end of the financial year. If it was the only player you sold that year then it should be easy to identify under the 'sale of players' heading ?

Some rumours from the BBC gossip column:

Man United might be signing £30m rated Roma defender Mehdi Benatia (who?) and Vermaelen for £15m.

Man City are after Porto's Eliaquim Mangala for £32m. Again, who?

I thought football had jumped the shark when Leeds paid £7m for Seth Johnson, but money these days is just crazy.

By the way, would anyone be interested in a forum fantasy footy league? If you are, say in this thread and I'll set one up (the proper FA game).

Swansea go top!! Man U bottom!! :)

btw Hank. Apologies for a lack of response. Fantasy League is a great idea, but unfortunately I never maintain my interest, especially in Premiership, or by proper FA game do you mean Championship?

come back danbert this thread needs you

WooHoo! we won a game!

Mr Head will have a big grin on his face tonight..Shrimps top of the league :D
