That is bad. Don't lower yourself to my level of jokes.

And as they are in last place after 11 rounds of the Primera B league, they could be out of FM soon enough.

Does anyone know how long Cech will be out?

Too early to say. His dad said a year when interviewed in one of the papers though.

I guess I am really lucky to have Freidel as a backup. Maybe I will replace Cech with Given..he is supposed to be back next month, right?

I wouldn't add Given right at this moment as he isn't going to play in the next couple of gameweeks. I'd get someone else who is fit and you can afford.

I traded Cech for Hilario and with the extra money was able to bring in Sol Campbell

SDPM..have you used your wild card yet?

A few days after Tottenham ruled out a move to the Olympic Stadium, West Ham are in talks to move there instead.

Quote:

West Ham are in "very serious negotiations" with Olympic authorities about moving into the 2012 stadium, says Sports Minister Richard Caborn.

The Hammers have long been linked with a move to the stadium, in nearby Stratford, after the Games end.

"There is a very serious negotiation going on between West Ham and the Olympic authorities about the stadium," said Caborn on Friday.

The talks were between Hammers chairman Terry Brown and senior Olympic figures.

Caborn added: "Talks are going on about whether they could do a similar thing to Manchester City when they took over the Commonwealth Games stadium in 2002."

You’re worrying... my other keeper is Sorenson. Typically I had both keepers go down with injury at the same time. Anyway I plumped for young Brad to replace Cech, so he’ll probably get injured before Sunday

I’d expect they’ll bug out for the same reason as Spurs. That running track is a killer, and no doubt the main elements of negotiation will involve football clubs trying to get rid of the new home of athletics element of the plan. West Ham would notice it more than anyone given how tight Upton Park is.

In light of Steve Bruce’s demands that the city of Birmingham shows him the loyalty he deserves I await with eager anticipation the views of our resident Wigan fan

It is a bit rich coming from a man who has twice walked out on clubs after just a few weeks, especially as Birmingham have stood by him after relegation.

I didn't even think of Wigan. Crystal Palace and the "gardening leave" came straight to my mind. It also saw the infamous Andy Johnson for Clinton Morrison transfer - who came out the best of that one?

If you want. Although as it is an opinion-based answer, my answer could differ to everyone elses.

King of the Backstabbers imo, but have to say we wouldn't be where we are if it weren't for him doing the dirty on us, he doesn't deserve loyalty as he has never given loyalty.

Birmingham City are one of those clubs that should be an ever present in the Premiership so something is wrong somewhere because they aren't in the Prem, also for them to be in 9th place in the Championship is a disgrace.

While I'm bored and just thinking that Birmingham should be in the Prem this is my line up of teams I'd love to see in the EPL, and yes I know some would not be able to compete at this moment in time but I'm going of fav teams and such.

Wigan Athletic (You really think I was going to leave them out)

Celtic (My league so be quiet lol, legends total legends, my obsesion.)

Liverpool (Bit like United they've become a bit big headed, never used to be and spent some great nights at Anfield before the all seating in the Kop watching them on European nights)

Man City (Again another team I used to see on a regular basis when Latics were away as my best friend at school was a Man City fan)

Man Utd (Even though their jerks now they used to be a decent team who played good attacking football)

Arsenal (First great game I remember them in well great last 10 minutes was the FA Cup final against Man Utd)

Newcastle Utd (Being a kit fan Newcastle have one of the best kits)

Sunderland (Grew up with my Dad (step Dad really) always saying he had been there when Sunderland were on at Roker Park pity they moved he can't say it anymore lol)

Middlesborough (Always used to remember them because I used to have their full team in the Topps cards of the late 70's)

West Ham (One of my all time greats played for this team and a man who should have his own day and that's Sir Bobby Moore)

Spurs (I grew up with Villa and Ardiles great attacking team pity they had Crooks)

West Brom (Another great kit and grew up with the 3 Degrees playing for them)

Preston (Used to go watching Preston when Latics were away or weren't playing, saw the "Ego" playing for them before he became The Ego)

Notts Forest (Again grew up with watching them in their European glory days)

Aston Villa (I remember that great League Cup Final when they played Everton over 3 games, none of this penalty shoot out or coloured goals)

Derby County (a great name in English football, better when they used to play at the Baseball Ground which usually never had any grass but was just dirt)

Everton (Same reason as Villa)

QPR (Pity they had that brain freeze with the plastic pitch, always played good football)

Leeds Utd (Another team I used to see regular during the season as my cousin is a life long Leeds fan)

Bolton Wanderers (Have to have one team I really hate in there)

Chelsea (Latics have been Chelsea's bogey team on more than one occasion)

Burnley (Used to always go watching Latics play there, one of the great grounds Turf Moor)

And yes I know there are 22 teams but there used to be 22 teams until the money men got their hands on football.
