FICKLE FFS ? ? ? How many points came from the dozen games prior to the Birmingham game matey ? ? ? ? Fickle ? Jesus effing christ..... If they lose to Reading there would be a VALID complaint that it was just a seizure, the Spurs game. You seem to have missed the past third of a season, chum. Also add that a defeat would still see us in a scrap as reading would go above us and the teams below are playing each other so victories would tighten up. Which is exactly the point I'm making. That's obviously passed over a couple of you.

Don't you think it's fickle that after 2 or 3 good games, people are now saying "we're going to take off again"?

As someone said, that seems a lot longer than 20 years ago.

Yeah, I think the Champs League is really what everyone's after - players just want clubs to be in the UEFA so they can use it as a stepping stone to a champions league club I imagine. I can't see him getting that though, so he's kinda shooting himself in the foot. He should have just mentioned England. I could picture him at Liverpool. As I mentioned previously though, that all depends on what happens with their owners/manager. There's every chance that they could all be gone by the end of the season.

When he was still our most productive attacking midfielder by quite a margin. Compared to who?

no, it isn't hijacked at all. It was doing fine until you piped up when I said 3 forwards would have improved the team more than 3 defenders, probably because it is me that said it. The fact that it is actually nailed on, and proven completely correct in view of the season we have had, doesn't seem to register with you. Like most facts don't. You are again showing that where personalities are concerned, you have no logic. This was also being discussed much earlier in the season when I said we should have got someone like David Bentley, and you said "who is he and who is talking about David Bentley" such is your stance ref personalities and "hijacking threads". Someone can now put the thread back on track. We bought 2 forwards, and Owen is having an extended run in the team. If we hadn't bought Enrique, Beye and Faye, who exactly would be playing at the back? It's GOOD midfielders we're missing, not strikers or defenders. By the way, what do you mean by "Having called the current situation exactly right last summer"? I can't remember you predicting that Allardyce (the man YOU wanted) would be sacked and replaced with Keegan (another man YOU wanted). Do you mean you predicted we'd be shit this year, because I remember you saying quite the opposite.

mackems.gif I laughed at that as well. http://www.femalefootballfans.com/?p=62 tbh

What's the obsession with playing european football by the way? I can understand players wanting to play in the latter stages of the Champions League, but what's the attraction of being drawn against a Hungarian team in the first round of the UEFA cup? I think it's just an excuse to ask for more money.

For the record, I don't think Drogba, Terry or Lampard are realistic summer targets. Apologies for taking the thread off tangent.

*sigh* Ok, I'll give up after this. Read your post after the bit where I said about Drogba scoring 50 goals in the premiership. You quite clearly implied that he only did that because he's playing for the 2nd best team in the league. If you didn't mean that, well then your post makes no sense and doesn't add to your argument. I'm bored of you. Come back when you can string a few sentences together without resorting to mindless insults. Cheers yes but im not sayin he wouldnt score goals. he would probly get 15-20 goals for any top 10 team and 10-15 for any team in the bottom half of the league apart from derby. thats still a decent record. now do you seriously think he would have scored anywhere near that amount of goals if he wasnt playing for any of the top 4 teams? Jesus, this is hard. Why is he consistently playing and scoring for the 2nd best team in the country (possibly in Europe if you look at the CL)? Would Ronaldo have scored nearly 30 goals in the league if he was playing for Middlesbrough? Anyway, you clearly don't rate him (in the same way that you don't rate Terry and Lampard; Chelsea bias maybe?) so it's not even worth going on with. You're just showing yourself up. Bet you think Martins is better anyway don't you

We were linked with Luis Enrique, Rui Costa, Dan Petrescu and Tore Andre Flo, all in the same week

I think Drogba was playing in the lower leagues until he was about 24-26. His strike rate for Le Mans was awful compared to these days. Shows just how much he's improved as a player. drogbas overrated. one lucky season when he scored lots of goals, imo anelkas a better player than him What's the quickcode for "jesus wept"? hes still a good player. all im saying is hes no where near the best player in the world as some people make out. he was rubbish at the african nations which is a really poor standard of football and he more bothered about diving than playin football I don't think anyone (other than himself maybe) have ever claimed he's the best player in the world. He's got a 1 in 2 strikerate for every club he's played for since Le Mans, and a better strike rate for his country. He's having a quiet season, and it looks like Mourinho leaving has had an effect on him, but as he showed against Arsenal, he's still one of the top strikers in this league. his previous clubs? le mans, Guingamp and marseille? id score that many goals playin in that shitty league. also ivory coast play against quite a few shitty teams in the african nations qualifiers Well once you've scored 50 goals in the Premiership, I'll have your autograph playing in the 2nd best team in the league and about 30 of his goals comin in that 1 season he fluked Ok, I'll give up. He's obviously not very good. Makes you wonder why the 2nd best team in the league wanted him in the first place though doesn't it. lets see..... sidwell, ben haim, pizarro, shevchenko, mikel, parker. All s*** but the 2nd best team in the league wanted them. just because a big clubs buys a player it doesnt make him good You can't argue it both ways though. You claim he only looks good because of the team he plays for, yet you've just listed plenty of players there who don't look good in that team. He's their FIRST CHOICE striker, not a squad player. when did i say he only looks good because of the team he plays in? i said hes overrated. get it right moron Sign of a stuggling argument when the insults come out Maybe you could read your own posts though. It's about 4 posts up if you want the clue. Anyway, as I said, I'll give up. You're obviously clueless, or blinkered.

And that Rooney and Ronaldo at Man United. Over-rated, the lot of them. I forgot you're that person who thinks terry is the best in the world, so your opinions dont count And that Rooney and Ronaldo at Man United. Over-rated, the lot of them. I forgot you're that person who thinks terry is the best in the world, so your opinions dont count I actually said he's the best English centre back, but don't let facts get in the way of your rock solid argument. You've said that 3 of the best players in the league are over-rated, so that means your opinions are just laughable.

Quite under-rated, I always thought. Loved him at Real, hated him at Barca. Opposite for me like. Maybe probably because I've always loved Barca and hated Real though. Guess what, opposite way round for me
