He gets the occasional run-out as a substitute and normally does well. He's a bit of a fan's favourite as well.

Drenthe is too good a player to be warming the bench anywhere, including Real Madrid.

has drenthe pushed on to getting a regular place or has he burnt out ? He hasn't made the squad.

They always look good on paper... but football is played on grass as the old saying goes. They always look good on paper... True, but like the Spanish i'd never bet against them. Sneijder, Robben, Van Persie, Huntelaar, Van Horseface, Van der Vaart, Babel - not bad!

If it's just between us lot it doesn't matter though because we'll all have started at the same time

Yeah but if we qualified we'd have to put up with Steve McLaren's dodgy team selections, shite football and hideous gurning face. At least this way Capello has a few months to mould the team, which will hopefully mean we stand a better chance in the world cup.

On paper the Dutch look very good. Might have a cheeky bet on them to win it

Fuck me, if that bastard asks me to check my username one more time this monitor is going out the window

This. I've said it before - I have only ever met one Spurs fan i like, and i've had the misfortune to meet quite a few. Set of deluded, arrogant Southern fannies

If it is the transfer policy i think it's bang on. How many times have we paid over the odds for a player who has had his best years at another club? This new board obviously want to sign players who will have their best years with us which is what we should have been doing all long rather than pissing money down the drain on fucking geriatrics, journeymen and crocks. If Dunne comes here i won't be too disappointed because he's still a reasonably good age but i would much rather we signed a top class, up-and-coming CB and developed him into a star (ala Kolo Toure, Olof Mellberg, Joleon Lescott, Paul Scharner etc.).

They're going to bankrupt themselves at this rate

It seems we may have a bit of bargaining power with this one as Emre's agent has confirmed he's been in talks with Galatasaray over a possible move.

This has quickly turned into the shittest thread ever!

Zenit deserved the win 100%. Rangers were negative, defensive and utterly boring. Any team that plays football the way they do deserves to win fuck all.

Cuellar, Arshavin and Tymoschuk. Now that wouldn't be a bad start to the summer.

He's 29 now so maybe he fancies a new lucrative challenge in the best league in the world.

He actually looks scarily like a Croatian bird i know. Thing is she's actually quite fit. Does that make me gay?

At under 21 level and managing in the lower leagues he was fantastic but when he went to Leicester his naivety and lack of experience in the transfer market let him down. I think he's still statistically the best manager England have had at U21 level.

Tymoschuck? also looked useful in his defensive midfield role. His passing was excellent the whole game, and unlike our own Nicky Butt he was always looking to pass the ball forward rather than sideways.

Let me just make it perfectly clear that my previous comment wasn't an endorsement of the possible signature of Louis Saha. I wouldn't touch him with a fucking barge pole.

People just don't seem to learn their lesson when it comes to Man U rejects. The only way anyone should sign Saha is on a pay-as-you-play deal. Otherwise you might as well set fire to £50k per week.

Never seemed like the Karaoke type to me.

Beye throttling Gamst Pedersen. Brilliant!

The guy surely can't be as big a cunt as Drogba
