Staying in the Championship has one advantage - will be traveling to Somerset for a match against Yeovil instead of going North to watch Brighton play Sunderland 😛

Being Somerset based I'll have to support Yeovil Town, despite not knowing a thing about footie... but they have reached the Championship for the first time in their history. No mean feat for such a small club and it was all over the local press here. Enjoy the match creeky. 😄

I think it will be one of the most interesting and open seasons for a long time and I can't wait to see how it pans out.

Have to admit I am rather nervous regarding our change of management, I always thought that they would carry SAF out in a box, but I have more faith in Moyes as manager than if they had brought in Mourinho.Hopefully we can start off with bringing the Charity Shield home though.

I have renewed my son's season ticket and as he'll hopefully be living in the North West come August it should work out much cheaper as I won't be forking out for his travel costs !

Such a shame not to see Brighton in the Premiership though Creeky, hopefully you can win automatic promotion this time round.

Martinez will be an interesting prospect at Everton and I hope that Villas Boas continues to do well with Tottenham - I really rate him young though he is. Not sure City did the right thing sacking Mankini ( that is not a typo !) for Pellegrini and who knows if Chelski have done the right thing rekindling an old flame ?

I think it will be very exciting that's for sure and look forward the odd chat with you all about it :-x

No one even knows, what is going to happen forthe start of next season in Scotland.

The SPL which is in dire financial trouble, after they threw us out :^O

Haven't got a sponsor, won't tell the their own Clubs, what TV deal is in place (We are the major draw by a mile)

With about half the clubs hovering on Administration, Motherwell, Hearts (may go bust) , Dundee utd & Aberdeen among them

Which is Karma as they were at the forefront of the calls to get us out, saying they didn't need the Blue pound

They are trying to bribe SFL Div 1 clubs to agree, to form the SPFL , this will mean the nastly little Cabal that mucked up the SPL, led by Celtics CEO Lawwell, will still be in total control.

The SPL have no money and only survived this season on the £millions they stole from Us , so where are they going to get the money, they have promised to give to the Div1 clubs ?

We have made a £12 million bid for Leighton Baines.

Apparently £18 - £20 is deemed more realistic by Everton - surely Mr Moyes would have known that having just managed the chap ? ?:|

Just his name makes me itch - he sounds like a law firm doesn't he ?

You can imagine the ad running on TV - "Had a trip, injury or fall ? If so call Leighton Baines today - we will get you the compensation you deserve" :^O

I also see that Teves has finally jumped ship from our noisy neighbours and is off to give Juventus a hard time - lucky them eh ? I do wonder how he'll complete his community service order from Italy - that could be interesting 😉
