0742: Is it more frightening that
Manchester United so clinically dismantled Arsenal's hopes
in front of a stunned Emirates crowd on Sunday, or that
one newspaper reckons the Red Devils have got more than £100m in a transfer kitty in case Sir Alex Ferguson wants to buy anyone?
Shudder.
0737: More transfer stories:
Fallen French giants Paris St Germain are hoping to wrap up a deal for Manchester United's out-of-favour Brazilian midfielder Anderson;
and
French newspaper L'Equipe reckons Portsmouth and West Ham are battling to sign PSG's ex-Chelsea hitman Mateja Kezman.
0734: I just cannot watch Manchester United's third goal against Arsenal without screaming at my telly for Gael Clichy to go and get a tackle in. Can someone please find out today what he was doing? As for the best moments of the weekend - look no further than two magical pieces of skill; one from Guti for Real Madrid, one from United's Nani. The four-lettered man is king.
From Donnie, Pompey, via text to 81111: "I'm out in the cold queuing for Southampton tickets, all our players are about to be sold and yet deadline day is still the best day of the year."
From GMMJohnson on Twitter:
"I am off to St James' Park to look out for all the new signings who do not actually go to the ground!"
0725: Worth an early mention that although the deadline for English clubs is 1700 GMT, for Scottish ones it's midnight. So, for example, Birmingham cannot buy Kris Boyd from Rangers after 1700 GMT, but Rangers could re-sign Barry Ferguson from Birmingham up until midnight. Clear as mud? Good. The times are different around Europe and it's the buying club that is important time-wise.
0722: Roman Pavlyuchenko to Arsenal... hmm... You know what Luke - I love it. Shall we run with it for a bit and see what happens? Maybe after yesterday Arsene Wenger will realise there's no point having four stunningly gifted midfielders if they haven't got a striker to play around. Andrey Arshavin v Wes Brown in the air = shambles.
From Luke, Wales, via text on 81111: "I think yesterday showed it is paramount that Arsenal add a striker in some form. I'll get slated, but Roman Pavlychenko on loan would be an improvement."
0716: Actually, hold the phone already.
Spanish newspaper AS is reporting that Man City's Fernando Gago chase is over
after Real Madrid rejected a 15m euro bid from the Eastlands club. Spoilsports.
0713: So, any good transfer rumours in the newspapers?
Well we do have a gossip column as per usual today with all the latest chat
and it's being added to all the time. Any that stand out? I like
Man City being linked with £20m move for Real Madrid's Fernando Gago
and
best of all, Tottenham's Robbie Keane being linked with a last-gasp move to West Ham.
0708: Oh yeah -
the 606 messageboard isn't ready for business until 0900 GMT,
so texts and tweets will have to do for now.
0705: The day is almost totally dependant on your involvement. Please, please, bring your A-game and get in the deadline day mixer:
Text me on 81111 (UK) and +44 7786200666 (worldwide);
Tweet me to your latest chat right here;
Get involved in the debate on 606.
I need you today perhaps more than ever. Especially if it's dull.

0700: I know, I know -
the last one was rubbish.
But where there's life, there's hope. And if there's even a 1% chance
we will get a repeat of Monday 1 September, 2008,
then the next 12 hours will be worth every second. A very warm - not to mention early - welcome to transfer deadline day. For the next half a day, I'm not moving.
