I think they'll be ok, just. Its early days like, but they seem to have that attitude which is needed to survive.

Its £1 for kids on Saturday to try and fill the place. Viduka is class, i'd seriously take him in January his first touch and hold up play is mint.

A few people have been taken in by the HTT jizzfest I think. He's a canny player, shit attitude.

Anyone going tomorrow? Be interesting to hear whats said regarding the takeover.

It used to be like that a few years ago, then it changed to the really high one. No idea why.

I didn't rate him when he was here before, it's nowt to do with how he left. I still don't rate him. Yeh me too, I never thought he was much better than Dabizas and O'Brien at the time tbh.

What a goal by Drogba, fucking brilliant.

The worst injury list in years. Taking over when morale had to be in the depths after a period with the worst manager in living memory. 3 points behind the fantastic Martin O'Neill. Roeder wouldn't have been my choice and I still have reservations in the long term. But he's doing ok and hasn't been shown to be shit at all. nail on the head mate Aye, Roeder has gone up a lot in my eyes in recent weeks.

Says on that Inter site he scored 24 with his left foot, 20 with his right.

Theres 11 winners this season ffs.

Don't think we won anything did we? The Intertoto has changed in format to what it used to be in like 2001 when we had to win about 4 games, then would have got a trophy. Its just a pre-qualifying round now, shouldn't even be called a cup.

Gutted about Zog, but I think people have written off Duff far too early. He's not been great, but neither had Martins and now suddenly he's the best thing since sliced bread.

Over the last few years, correct me if i'm wrong, but hasn't it gone: (in all competitions, away only) 5-0 4-0 3-0 2-0 1-0 Might get a point!

I didn't like the way Mourinho went on about his 'untouchables'. I obviously don't care much for Chelsea, but it just seemed strange for a manager to say that 9 out of his 11 are undroppable. His substitutions are now so predictable, I said at half time that Sheva and Geremi would be the only players to come off, and its true. No one should be undroppable, its a team sport. For him especially to say that Ballack is undroppable but Sheva isn't just proved to be that they're not going to win the league.

Its more about the signing of Ballack IMO. Has completely unbalanced the midfield and left them having to play without wingers. When they play with 1 or 2 wingers they're so, so much better - todays game and Man Utd the other week are perfect examples.

Pencilled in for next weekend I think Roeder said.

Absolutely quality. Essien has been outstanding this season for Chelsea.

Quality player, really is. His injury record isn't great and by all accounts is a bit of a party boy, so he'd fit in well.

I can sense Wullie getting banned soon for abusing the Scouser. I'm ready.

Nothing like the one against Everton!

"Fans in media against us shocker". To be honest, unless you're one of the 'big 4' the media don't give a shit.

Reina reminds me of Dudek tbh. Good at times, horribly bad at others. Everyone makes mistakes, but Given is extremely consistent. Whenever we play Liverpool I always hope for a little clanger from him as he does look a bit dodgy.

Where do his family live like?

I like Pearce, but his likeable character always overlooks the fact that he's a pretty shit manager.

He won't get in the England squad now, too old. McClaren is trying to look to the future and get rid of the over 30s, eg Beckham, James, Campbell. Can see Gary Neville being the next older one to drop back soon if Micah Richards continues the way he's going.
