That ball is fucking amazing, I love it.

That ball could also be fake. Keep that in mind!

[METALMAN]

You can't fake balls.

That ball offends my eyes.

[Hobo]

Your balls offend my eyes!

Won't be Howe. He's been asked twice before and both tines refused as he wouldn't have the same sort of autonomy over everything like he has at Bournemouth.

[Kyle]

They can have Martinez, it'd be a straight swap. 

Welcome to Goodison Ron

Chelsea demonstrating zero lessons learned as they decide that pre-season tours in Austria and the USA are not enough...no, they have to squeeze a trip to frikkin' Moscow into the last week before the Premier League opener as well.

Combine this sort of thing with not-really-having-a-manager until after the Euros and transfer targets likely being delayed in similar fashion, and the odds of us falling flat on our faces again continue to increase...

[DavidMarrio]

I think the whole purpose of our US tour is to make as many memes as possible.  First we had the video of movie quotes and now this.

We've released Valdes and Nick Powell. Shame how it turned out for Powell, but injuries have ruined any progress he had made since joining.

Kolo has left Liverpool, whilst Arteta, Flamini and Rosicky (who even knew he was still there?) have all left Arsenal. Could make a decent, if slow and injury prone, team out of that lot.

[Matt]

I dunno, you'd struggle with only 6 players 

[Kyle]

Then good news! Everton have released Hibbert, Osman and Pienaar!

[The Lusophone]

Can add Adebayor and (this amuses me for some reason) two time Champions League winner Wes Brown to that as well.

[Gazz]

What an eleven that is

Blatant cheating by Koeman here, Thomas would have kept Hibbert playing until he was at least 42.

Emery has left Sevilla - surely it's got to be either him or De Boer for Southampton?

If you believe a lot of the papers and online sources it looks likely that Emery is off to PSG

[Lineker]

New Villa owner Dr. Xia has passed the fit-and-proper-person test.
