Looks liek a padded foam type thing, I'd imagine it's much softer to get hit with than his head.

And they probably haven't even seen Freddy Shepherd's "personal" ones. Like that warehouse thing with his brother. Christ, if they're worth more than us, I'm Batman.

We were linked with him before he went to West Ham too. He's one of the few at West Ham that gives everythign and actually gives a s***. I'd sign him on that basis.

I'd rather we brought Fowler back and stuck him up front than buy Raul. Oh.

Somone better informed than me might be able to comfirm or explain further, but according to this article, Moores plans to sell his 51% and take an honorary position. Guardian Given that purchasing 51% outright effectively puts DIC in charge immediately, would this get around the 21-day wait for the remainder of the shareholders to decide what they want to do? Could we then see DIC investment in players before the end of the window? (I can't think who might be available, mind.....)

I'd have him in a shot. He'd be our Rooney.

Someon rightly pointed out Arsenal's 6-1 defeat to United, United's 5-0 to Newcastle, and more. Freaky results happen. United took a wallopping off 'Boro a year or two ago. Our reserves losing by three goals doesn't amount to anything, realistically. Losing the FA cup to the side next to us in the league is hardly earth shattering either. Shame, but that's how it goes.

Bascombe always leaves wee snippets at the end of his articles. They're generally fairly accurate.

Those blog things are purely there to generate comments and website hits. They don't print them in the paper itself. Same as the s**** you see on Football365 and similar sites.

There's suggestions on RAWK that after an extended board meeting, there's just a few details to tie up with DIC pre the announcement.

I feel it would be bad if either of these happened.

Chelsea after him now, says the Daily Record (via the BBC Gossip thing)

And another point - how many trophies have them two won between then since Rafa arrived? Rafa's confortably won more than the two put together.

Well picking up promising youngsters in an Arsenal style is hardly spraying cash around needlessly. It's not like we're sepnding 30 million on a hare-lipped central defensive ****** or a past-his-best friend-of-the-chairman striker.

Hello Lec. I've missed you popping up whenever I get stupidly optimistic....

Correct Eurosport Link If, as the article says, we've signed this kid for a couple of million, plus Insua for a million, the other Argie lat (Leto?) for around the same, plus Padelli, McCarthy - there's DEFFO a few quid bubbling under, isn't there? Am I being stupidly optimistic in thinking that we might see some DIC money this window, and that this is the first indications of it?

Cisse's Haircut?

Yep.Heard that too. And I didn't need to be told that kick-off time at Anfield had been changed to "Every ten minutes".

Has apparently joined Portsmouth.

Rafa's won more trophies in his time at Liverpool than United and Arsenal put together. And has show more class in that time than Wenger and Feguson have in their entire lives. The reserves getting a battering in a cup game is small potatoes in comparison.

You can say that again.

Good to hear you making constructive suggestions. You were a bit negative yesterday. You're still mental, mind.
