Back to transfers, if Tom Ince wants to stay in the Prem we should be in. He would be way more use than our current wide options and give us pace that we simply don't have.

I would like the Palace captain who plays holding midfield too, strong player.

If we could get Barry I would be delighted, but he will go elsewhere.

A left back would be nice.

Isn't Tom Ince signing for either Inter Milan or Monaco?

I'm guessing that either of the above are more attractive than us right now.

Said he wants to stay in the premier league now. If I were him I'd have gone abroad for a bit as he wasn't really getting in Palace's team so maybe not quite as good as he thinks he is?

hasn't he just "turned down" a move to Inter? Probably holding out for a bigger club like Vancouver or Bolton.

The registrar at my wedding was so concerned with getting my name right, that he made a mistake with my wife's, really simple, surname.

All her friends have referred to her using that mistaken name ever since.



I was incredibly stressed in the days leading up to my wedding. Mainly because her family meeting my family was clearly going to be like the Royal Family meeting the Royle Family. But bizarrely, all through the day itself I was completely chilled out. I didn't even sweat, despite wearing a three piece suit in a heatwave in the south of France. To this day I still suspect someone put something in my tea that morning.

Never marry below your station, dear boy

My wife did.

Age is a great leveller...

Gareth Barry will definitely come back. He must miss bumping into a drunk Ads in Michu on Summer Row.

Aren't you getting married on Saturday?

There won't be much more drunk Ads in Michu if so

;-)

In 24 hours time, I will have a wife....


[Scared face]

Good luck Ads, hope everything goes well.
She's very lucky!

In much the same way as Groucho Marx wouldn't want to join any club that would accept him as a member, anybody who would turn down Inter Milan in order to come to us in our current state I'm not sure I would want.

Thanks for the well wishes ladies and gents! Very kind of you.

I will work out how to post a few pictures of the day when we get back from Aus, so you can recognise me at the Villa and come and poke me if you like next season.

I agree, but right now beggars and choosers come to mind. If he is cheap, he is possibly a lucrative asset in the future, and would give us something different to what we have.

My cousin in Brum sent me a text earlier saying he's heard from someone ITK that Vlaar is off to the Geordies after the world cup, dead cert!
FFS please don't tell me we've signed Senderos and letting him go!! Senderos and Baker does not worth thinking about!

Difficult to see how Our Ron would be interviewed saying welcome Roy Keane and then bugger off to the Northeast, as far as he could get....

I agree Lou. All the interviews I have seen indicate RV is staying. For now.

On the other hand, one year left on contract plus no intention of renewing is a sell sign to all and sundry. I am more concerned about Delph, but an inadequately replaced Vlaar could screw us double quick time.

You know, I think he is staying as well, but it's so difficult to work out what any of our players are thinking or planning because of the usual stuff that happens this time of year, about transfers.

But also because of the selling of the club.
Or maybe not.  It's a nightmare.

I am just going to play a lot of 70's disco (my drug of choice) and hope for the best.
