See you in the conf next season ITH.

Oh well, at least I can come on here and talk Conference footie!

Heerenveen are in UEFA, we lost in CL playoffs.

Rubbish CL final, although hopefully Liverpool will now build and challenge Man Utd and Chelsea next season. Voronin is not the answer though. If they can get Nani or Ribery plus 2 top strikers, maybe they won't bore us as much. Get rid of Bellamy, Kewell, Gonzalez (before injured was a big flop). They already have Lucas who is very good and Mascherano who was an excellent buy.

Hopefully van Persie and Henry will be fit for Arsenal and they sign one or two.......combined with there kids, they could become quite good.

Tottenham will be interesting if they realise quality over quantity is better and offload some of there rubbish (Ghaly, Malbranque, Lee Young Pyo et al)

Where will Tevez end up? More importantly, where will Afonso Alves end up - Barcelona have been sniffing No really, they and Chelsea have

£20m and Ronaldinho? £30m and Drogba?

Or just £6m cash plus either Ezquerro or Geremi

Interesting summer in store

Congrats to Stevenage btw.......can't find a post where you mentioned winning...

Good comeback.......looked dead and buried at 0-2

Lol, shall be good to have another conference fan on here.Exeter were a tad unlucky I thought, Morecambe just did you on the counter attack.I see Martin Rice threw a bit of a paddy at being dropped and has walked out,silly lad.

The signing of Voronin really bemused me, he's probably only going to be 4th choice but he's a waste of the wages that he's on, should have just gone for someone like Billy Sharp from Scunthorpe.I should imagine Liverpool will just end up getting one top quality striker, I'm thinking it will end up being Tevez with the link to Mascherano.A left winger is needed and I have heard that they are close to signing Daniel Alves and Gabriel Millito, could be the end of Finnan and Hyypia if true.They should keep Carson as back up to Reina now that Dudek is off.

It's about time that Arsenal realised their potential, these kids have to come good some time and next season may well be it.I think they need to splash the cash on another winger, Hleb just does not cut it for me.

Spurs look to have finally got a good left back in Gareth Bale, still need a left winger though, far too often they play people like Malbranque and Tainio,really going to trouble right back's with them playing.Kaboul from Auxerre looks another good signing.

I see Alves is in the Brazil squad for the friendly against England on friday, must to the shock of the Brazillian media who had no idea who he even was! One asked was he a centre back and then they got all uppity about Dunga not picking more home based players but he quite rightly said to them that due to the financial contstraints in the domestic game all the good players are being snapped up by European teams.

Cheers.

We often have the habit of falling behind in the first half but make these classic comebacks, never write us off with the attacking threats of Dobson,Morison and Cole, he's going to be a star in the conference next season now that he's fully fit.

We've got rid of about 13/14 players though, talk about a summer clear out! 3 signed with more on the way, an experienced league 2 striker is in talks with the manager.

[Slartibartfast]

Anyone watching the england-brazil game?? It's started quite well actually, although Beckham is getting unnecesarily cheered every time he touches the ball. Hatrick from Kaka is my prediction.

I don't know too much about Exeter, that's the wife's speciality, it will be mine next season... maybe

Looks like Sharp will be off to Wolves. Tevez would be a good buy, but i'm guessing Rafa will buy someone Spanish. Most of his Spanish buys just haven't worked and he has to realise he needs more than just average Spanish.played in Spain cack like Joesmi, Arbeloa, Fabio Aurelio and Gonzalez.

Hleb is average, Rosicky will get better and they need a couple of decent buys...1 up front and a winger.

Problem with Spurs is they buy 2 cack for every 1 good. For every Berbatov, there is a Taino and a Ghaly.

Afonso came on and nearly scored....must have upped his price by £2m that apprearance........surely?

A Brazilian International at Heerenveen....We';re on the march

Sharp's former striker partner is at Wolves and all so he'll fit in well, seems they are signing some good lower league players.Aurelio started to play well then got injured, Josemi and Gonzalez were utter cack though.I think he'd like David Villa in an ideal world and he's after David Silva and all.

I wonder if Reyes will go back to Arsenal now that the deal for Baptista is not going to be made permanent? He was always a fairly good player for them I thought.

I don't understand Jol's obsession with buying central midfielders though and then playing them on the wings, Taino as a left winger is laughable.Ghaly's just a silly little sod.

Afonso played pretty well I thought, probably could have caused alot more problems had he been given longer.Be nice for you to hold onto him but I guess he will move on.

I think we are just making the squad smaller but of better quality,maybe 5 more players will end up joining.

They would be good signings but I'm thinking we will end up with a big lump like Drewe Broughton or Trevor Benjamin.

Kieron Dyer's meant to be playing at right back for England tonight, I despair .

Did he move in the end? I thought I heard he was off somewhere else (Sharp)

Problem with Rafa, he buys some utter cack. If he was half as good in the transfer market and Premiership as he is in CL, Liverpool would be a force.

I notice the Liverpool fan I used to debate with is back on the boards...I wonder if I should remind them of the "Man Utd are on a downward slope" remark and "Vidic is crap"

Reyes will stay in Spain and now it looks like Henry has gone for £16m........double that and they can have Afonso Alves

Tainio as a left winger Maybe we can expect to see Dawson there soon

Afonso is in the Copa America squad for Brazil - if he does well there...

Should get a tidy sum though

There's been a few bids for Sharp that have been turned down, last one was 2 million from Norwich.

I see Forlan is a target for Liverpool, what a joke he would be again.Fernando Torres is the main target so I've heard.

Not the best of predictions eh?

Henry has indeed gone, looks like Arsenal are really going through a transitional period.Wenger will be gone soon I reckon.

With all the centre backs at Spurs now they may well push Rocha onto the left wing lol.

What about Sven going to Man City? that's going to be interesting!

Well done to Holland on beating the racist serbs

Oh and the striker Stevenage were after was Tim Sills from Hereford but he wanted too higher wages.Full pre-season training starts on monday, several trialists including a young premiership keeper.

Maybe it was the Norwich link I heard about.....but now they are in 'The Championship' they'd be best off holding onto him if he's that good.

Forlan to Liverpool.....good job Dudek has gone then Torres would be a good buy, but he'd only go there for all the Paella with Rafa and the boys. As a football reason, he'd be better off at Chelsea or Man Utd

Nope, Man Utd are finished They surpassed my expectations, but the other person thought they'd finish outside the top 4 whilst Liverpool would be challenging Maybe now both clubs are owned my Americans they may stand a chance, but Liverpool's owners are being a bit tight fisted - Voronin

Will be a shame if Wenger goes...if he does he'll claim 'he didn't see it coming' so cannot comment

Spurs collect players like they are going out of fashion, but they still can't field a decent 5-a-side team

Sven to Man City......who will he bring in.....reports say Owen. Shame Hargreaves is at Man Utd as he was Sven's lovechild. Maybe he'll attempt to get him on loan, offering Paul Dickov in exchange

Wahey! Netherlands U-21 Champions again! Easy Easy Easy England ran us close, but not close enough cos they are worse at penalties

Tim Sills? Wasn't he at Aldershot? He's not a League 2 veteran is he? Barely played league football?

Pre-season already? Sod that....it's Wimbledon!

They would be showing a complete lack of ambition if they let Sharp go, if they get relegated then he can go.

You always need one joke player in the squad.Dudek will be hard to replace in the clown stakes.

I never really thought of United going on a downward slope, especially not outside the top 4 lol, I didn't think they would win the title though.Voronin is the strangest signing of the summer,utter waste of wages.

Just like Wenger didn't see David Dein and Henry going .

I see Darren Bent is likely to be off to Spurs, 4 good strikers then,how they going to keep all of them happy? Defoe to play on left wing? .

Doubt Owen would go there to be honest,might get Chris Powell if they are lucky.Dickov will end up playing at right back and Michah Richards up front.

That was the longest penalty shootout I've ever seen lol.Carson should have done a Waterman and come off his line, might have ended things sooner.

Sills was indeed at Aldershot, probably played in the region of 40 league games and scored about 5 goals, thank christ we didn't sign him lol.We have Spurs on 7th July, getting tickets on monday, I'm sure our right back can cope with Tainio .

We have signed South African central defender Mark Arber from Peterborough.

He was on Big Ron manager. Did anyone see that. It was great.

Saying that, if it was £2m, Scunny could spend that on about 8 players

Dudek looks like joining Bolton. They could struggle this season. Sammy Lee is not the man to take them forward.

Well, this person who thought United were on a downward slope (after telling me I knew nothing about football) has been proven wrong. They also said Vidic was crap United are the number 1 team in England. Liverpool are the number 3 side and Torres would be a good signing for them. About time, as Voronin is an underwhelming signing. You need a 4 horse race in England, as 2 horse races are boring.

Wenger has replaced Henry with Eduardo Da Silva. Unproven at a high level, yet 24m Euros :-/ Reportedly

Bent has signed.......has Mido Dido left yet? He'll be at Man City or somewhere next season Defoe left wing? I was thinking Bent was signed for that role with Keane on the right Must be time for Tottenham to sign a midfielder and centre back

Sven at Man City......they scored so few goals last season....now Sven is there, even fewer

Waterman used to be our keeper. He's shocking to be honest and was lucky to get away with it, although happy he did.

Forza Oranje!

Sills has signed for Torquay Exeter's rivals now

Spurs on Saturday? I hear Stalteri is playing left wing

Sharp's gone back to Sheffield United, they let him leave for £100,000 and buy him back for £2M .

Where is Jussi off to if they are getting Dodgy Dudek? I reckon Bolton will struggle this season.

Torres looks pretty much certain to joining now with Luis Garcia going to other way.I wonder how much more money Rafa has to spend as just Torres will not be enough to challenge for the title but it's a step forward.

Eduardo is a bit pricey if that's true, good player though.

Mido's still around, he'll probably be on the left wing against us on saturday, the tosser.Defoe's likely to be off now I'd imagine, maybe a return to West Ham lol.I read that Spurs were after another central midfielder, Oruma from Troyes or something like that.

0-0 draws for half the season with Sven .

Who's Waterman playing for these days?

I see Exeter has signed Basham from Oxford,not an overly convincing signing, he's always injured.Fixtures came out today, Exeter away to Altrincham first game of the season, we have Crawley away.

I'd imagine we will have a few trialists for the Spurs game, some keeper just released by Arsenal is meant to be one of them.
