In other words the Countries ace goal-scorer ain't going anywhere.. yet -):

Serious question - why do we have welsh clubs in our league system when we (rightly) keep the scots out ?

Some of our colonies need development concessions? .. just guessing like -):

Cardiff and Swansea have at least six appearances between them at the new Wembley ... do Everton even know where it is Chris ? :-)

Stan , no one wants him.

Joe , it's because all the Welsh teams who have played in the English leagues didn't demand to be placed in the highest league on joining but earned the right. Celtic and Rangers walked away from talks in the 80's/90's after being told they would not be allowed to enter the highest league but would have to start in (the old) Division 2 I think. No one stopped them joining.

Same place as it's always been Dil. What's that got to do with the price of fish? Don't recall EFC being involved in Championship play - offs. How many times have Cardiff played at Wembley in the FA Cup Final, Semi-Final or League Cup Final again?

3 in last 5 years , not bad for a team who has never played in the EPL.

Nice pic dil but I jumped on the other buss, don't bent over :)

Aye and I'm Bin Landen from the corner shop , uck off u getting banned in a week :-)

PS ... I aint been banned or suspended from any internet site since you disappeared so read into that what you want :-)

Back to you lot, "nothing to do with trying to sign Ince and Wanyama and Kuyt." Can we keep that sort of comment to the joke thread please? -):

I know Stan , we have now been linked with enough players to field 3 Premier League teams if they all signed.

Negotiations with Messi and Ronaldo are said to be going well :-)

Should kick off next week contracts wise so they say, A real laugh until then as you say -):

Cardiff have signed Denmarks 20 year old 6'4" international striker Andreas Cornellius from FC Copenhagen for 8 million.

8 Million eh? that leaves just 16 million then for another 10 players -):

Well whada know.. Carduff are almost top of this league as well http://www.oddschecker.com/football/english/premier-league/relegation

Stan .... do the Ayatolla if your Premier League :-)

Burnley have today announced the signing of a new tea lady Ava Cuppa from Tesco Caffeterias United and have extended the contract of Abdulla the Grocer for the exclusive supply of meat pies for a further season. Contract talks with Mrs Mopp head of cleaning are still ongoing but she is still expected to leave after criticising the lack of new signings on the broom front.

Burnley have completed the signing of young Australian goalkeeper Daniel Nizic to complete Burnley's recruitment in that position for the summer.

"We now have two 24-year-olds, a 27-year-old and Daniel. Luckily we've got all our targets and we're delighted to formally welcome them all to the club."

Team Full of Goalies.. Weve got a team Full of Goooooooalies!!

.. Also playing 4 goalkeepers of course means we will be unbeatable -):

lol

Burnley Football Club are once again the proud owners of the Turf Moor ground and the Gawthorpe training ground after raising £3.5 million to complete the deal.. No Coventry City nonsense for the super Clarets I say.

Charlie going to Hull.. you heard it here last -):
