i cant say my source but have it on good authority that our very own Ted is holding the talks with Madrid.He hopes his poetry will woo the spainsh over.If thatdont work he will get pisshed on Alhambra and smash their toilets up.

I took that with a pinch of salt until I read the last bit... it has to be true.

Smashing kitchens and bathrooms is one of his arts, no one in this world can do it like him!

Could be true he's got a sky reporter with him

Just finished the 1st part of my medical at Marseille. It's great to finally be here. Back tomo to finish it off...

GT don't do Ted down. He doesn't vandalise anything so common as "toilets" - he reserves his drunken violence for bidets if you plse. He is most particular about this...

Hughes on Barton:

"A number of options have been presented to him and I hope this latest one works out for him at Marseille. It’s better for him to move on and get on with his football career. I don’t really have anything more to say on the matter."

Does anybody know if the FA is still insisting (not sure how they can) that JB serves out his ban if he goes to Marseilles?

Its all a bit academic now in light of Hughes' latest quotes (above) on the matter.

I don't think the ban covers the french football federation!

I would also like to thank @tonyfernandes and @Amit_Bhatia99 for making this possible. Good luck to everyone at QPR for this season.
