We are top of the league, the mighty bees, played 6 won 5 lost 1. None of that glory hunting nonsense down here---http://www.footballconference.co.uk/tables.php

Meanwhile down in the doldrums, we've had our boots nicked!

I wish someone would nick some of our players boots, especially if the player is in them at the time.

I used to watch Barnet regularly down at Yeovil back in the 80s in the old Vauxhall Opel League.

But, just remember this year that Bristol Rovers will be coming '...right back up.'

Manchester United have just signed Falcao for an estimated salary of £280,000 per week. That's £14,560,000 per year. Wayne Rooney's salary, according to several sources including the BBC http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/26246939 is an estimated £300,000 per week or £15,600,000 per year. That's a combined £30,160,000 per annum on those two players alone.

Wow..
Bart Simpson to Zenit


did anyone see the Sky Sports news purple object to the ear?

How about youth players on £20,000 a week at 17, despite never playing for the first team? https://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/blog...tle-known-youth-player-20-000-082850946.html4

"nothing would have induced me to flee to Manchester. Not even £16m."

The thing is, Falcao's Monaco salary was effectively net of income tax. As I read it Utd are paying £280,000 but that is also likely to be net - so the club will be paying circa £330,000 gross.

Pretty happy with QPR's business this window, think Sandro is a quality signing and glad we didn't buckle to Borini's wage demands, seems like we might have learnt a lesson. Think we might be light up front though.

Agreed, 'the beast' will be fantastic I'm sure. We did need another striker but we've had enough parasites at the club so hopefully we have learnt a lesson. I'm sure Borini thought we'd jump at the chance...and not so, so enjoy the bench if we're not good enough. Lazy pillock.

Although I was harsh about Taraabt, either he wants to stay and gives 100% or he can be off as far as I'm concerned. The money that players are on these days they should be fighting to the death each and every game; anything less isn't good enough.

Caulker was a good signing and of the boy already on the books, who's to stop Charlie Austin? Hoilett seems to be getting more and more influential too. Isla does seem like a natural wingback but if Harry doesn't change to either the 4-3-3 (or the 4-4-1-1 we played against the Black cats) and persists with Hoddle's 3-5-2 we're not going anywhere other than the Championship IMO. And what a gutter about Ale'...don't think we'll see him again, sadly.

Hope you well fella!

 

[Doseone]

Yes, really really gutted for Ale - he's one that does have the right attitude. Seems like Niko really wanted to come back as well. Agree with you about 3-5-2. It ain't for us at the moment. Would love for Charlie Austin to prove what he can do. I just don't know about Taarabt. He's got amazing ability and I'll never forget that season he had in the Championship. So much potential but seems like the attitude just isn't there.

I'm fine thanks, hope all is good with you too.

A set of clogs will be cheap and improve your form no end.

I watched Leeds last week v Bradford and they were truly poo, it was funny, but also sad to see how far they have fallen, all the "footballers" were wearing claret and amber. You need "hope" as football fan, that things will get better, I can see zero signs for optimism at ER.

 

[Retribution03]

Borini wont get near the bench..knew when he came to Liverpool he wasn't going to fit in as he'd already been at 7 clubs beforehand!

 

[Dayvo]

Falcao to Manure

Bloody 'ell! They'd have been better off with Mark Falco, or that rock me Amadeus geezer.

 

[Smokin Joe]

Shedloads of money spent by the top premier League clubs during the window, and most of it on foreign imports. Both the number and standards of players available for England is set to drop even further and I fear the "Years of hurt" referred to at the onset of every tournament are going to outlast those of us who actually witnessed the one good year.
