Justice for John-Arne! Quality story.

Ashton is very similar to Owen in that they are both injury prone. Harsh, he's had a broken ankle and thats it.

Hmm don't think i'll read this thread.

Good. Our central midfield is shite

Presuming we sign Onyewu, i'd like us to sign another centre half, a left back, a central midfielder and a striker.

Bramble was class, Duff played well but still he has a tendency to run with it a few seconds too long and end up running into the defender. Martins was a bit shit, too ball greedy for my liking. 3-1 is a good result though, we never looked in trouble and no one really had a bad game - was just really comfortable.

Owen is shit at penalties, keep it with Nobby/Martins.

Highly unlikely. I've played a match at the Riverside Stadium in Boro before, was strange. When I went out I expected to be fixed on the stands etc, but you totally blank them out when playing.

Wise is a wanker, can't stand the bloke. I'm quite impartial with Leeds, don't really care about them. Of all the 'big' clubs down there i'd much rather see Wednesday come back up.

More chance of me winning the lottery tbh.

Its in Ashington now isn't it? May be wrong like

Aye same here. It'll look mint though

Hurray! 2 mins to hold on to penalties.

Thats one of the worst penalties i've ever seen!

I think he's looked pretty shit really. Then again he is still really, really young. How many other players look quality at 17? Very few, the Rooneys, Ronaldos etc but there are plenty of top class players who didn't emerge til later.

I really rate Viduka, but he's not in the class as many named in the lists.

King Dawson Rocha Assou-Ekotto Chimbonda.

Definetely, then scrape 17th every year.

Has the_soccer_master come up yet to mention Luque?

What about apart from this season?

The longer he stayed as a sub, the better he got in people's eyes..

Michael Owen? narrowly misses out im afraid. Better than Kuyt, at least, out of that list.

If he's running in February theres a good chance he'll play before the end of the season, might only be the last few games but you never know. He'll only be back at the level we know next season, but its more pessimistic than realistic to say he won't be back at all. Theres about another 3 months of the season left remember.

Very hard to say 11 years in advance. In 1996 who would have known SJP would be massive, Arsenal a new ground etc.

Dyer is a pain in the arse isn't he? Where the fuck does he fit in any team?
