That's quality, Bayern as a club seem to really look after there fans, I always like that quote about their season ticket prices and why they keep them so low.

I like his uncle's sense of humour. I'm going to remember that one.

Tebs was hard as nails when he played for us. I remember him losing a boot and still going in with a hard tackle for the ball.

Now he's making Cognac. Good luck to him.

Anyone else get annoyed with the money being spent this transfer window in the big leagues? Maybe I'm just bitter coz I'm a spurs fan but getting little upset with players moaning about how they are only on £65,000 a week!

My heart fecking bleeds for ya, surely once you get to that sort of money it doesn't matter if you earn £100,000k or £300,000k a week, you surely cant spend it all!

meh! rant over spoilt gits!

There are some silly amounts of money being thrown about. Sadly football at the highest level appears to be about moving extreme wealth around the world.

[Cavetroll87]

I agree Duke, for me in some ways it is making me fall out of love with the game, well until the season starts then ill forget about it until next transfwr window

Villa lost and Blues won. I'm happy.

[Cavetroll87]

1st weekend of premier league footie and I am happy with that, a spurs win, Chelsea, West Ham and Liverpool all drop points so its all good!

[Kwacky]

Some odd results in the top flight. I bet the bookies were laughing all the way to the bank,.

[Kwacky]

Blues are still shit.

[Kwacky]

I see Rooney has retired from international football. I hope he's remembered fondly, he's always given his all. I know he's gone off the boil recently but I don't think the last few England managers have been too supportive of his role.

[duke63]

Its been a top player for England. Shame he never seemed probably fit for World Cups in his heyday.

Watched in play for Everton at City the other night and he still has lots to offer in the Premier League.

[Kwacky]

It's deadline day tomorrow. I wonder who'll go for the biggest money? Oxlaide Chamberlain to Liverpool was a bit a of a strange one.

[Cavetroll87]

Blues look to have done decent business this window mate, you happy?

[Kwacky]

Yes mate, some good players have come in. Let's hope 'Arry can get them playing as a team. Our start to the season hasn't been very good.

[Cavetroll87]

hoping you do well, have a little soft pot for you guys a) coz you stuffed Arsenal in the final in 2011 and b) gotta love 'Arry

[Kwacky]

The Wilshire to Blues rumours were funny seeing how badly he reacted to that cup defeat.

I wasn't too sure about Redknapp, he's got a mixed reputation. But he's managed to pull in some decent players for us, so hopefully we can take advantage and stop stagnating.

[Kwacky]

We're about to get our 4th manager in about 12 months. FFS. No wonder we're stagnating.

[Cavetroll87]

football is temporarily dead to me after the weekend, Dunno why but that result has really upset me and then I see what you have to go through and I think that a 0-0 draw isn't that bad and yet I'm still really pissed off about it!
