Good luck, I hope you do win it. what a nice man rather Arsenal than Manchester .

surely no one here cares about that. Gotta be some gunners forum to brag on? :]

Given Beye Taylor Cacapa Enrique x Faye Emre Zogbia Martins Owen

With Butt's ability to pass the ball away EVERYTIME he gets the ball, how can you even place him on the bench? Barton and Emre, or Faye and Emre in CM for me. Barton has been terrible and is going to prison , Emre is too lightweight and isn't consistent, Faye is needed in defence.... Butt gets it by default for me. Of course we need better, but we don't have better available. Faye could cover the defence excellent in a midfield position. Also where we lack most is at corners/freekicks into our area, where he will be as an DM. We need huge bastard to win those balls, unless most strikers could get hatricks against us..

i wouldnt play butt in centre unless we have no other option. The man gives away the ball way to much to weigh it up for his defensive qualities. The last games his passing hs ruined alot of our attacking. Specially he seems to trough and put Duff trough with one pass alot, that just ends up being an sloppy easy ball for the defence.

Geremi's set-pieces was excellent in my opinion. Could offer us something deffo.

I only go back to the 70s, but 90% of todays players appear to have SO little genuine football ability, they would be unlikely to get into reserve teams from those days. There is this "automatic" assumption made by many people (mainly the young-uns who have 'nowt' to compare it to!) that MODERN IS BETTER / NOW IS BETTER. Whereas the reverse is usually true!! Todays players are "fitter" / "eat better" / "drink less" / "run a bit faster" . . but better?? - FAR from it! Why is it then any sport that has records or performance stats the best are still performing now. explain that Footballers in the 70's......who Johan one turn Cruyff Franz the statue Beckembaur Bobby long shot Charlton I'll take Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Zidane any day Given a straight choice between Pele or Ronaldo its Ronaldo every time, ask Ferguson to choose might be interesting Name me a better striker than Henry or Drogba or Kaka This diggin up the past ok for a bit of debate at the bar when the conversation dries up, everyone does it Things move on we just got to accept it Gert Muller Brian Howard Cluff Wor Jackie and to suggestthat Ronaldo is better than Pele shows that you've never watched a single game of football ............ mackems.gif mackems.gif mackems.gif Given you the whole of the past against today to choose from and thats your best shot Would anybody care to explain the point about statistical sport, seems to be getting brushed under the carpet Id take Ronaldo at his peak against any other player in the history of football. Easy.

He's good at tackling, his timing and everything is spot on as is his ability to read the game (from a defensive point of view). With the ball though he's just wank, like two different players. Against Boro, he gave the ball away sooooooooooo much with piss poor passing.

Mike Dean was just horrible.

fair play to boro, but we lost 3 points cause of mike dean today. horrible.

Got to agree. He's let us down every time. Still rather play him than Rozehnal though. got a good chance to "redeem" himself and show is skill on a regular basis now.

Briskeby Stadion, Hamar - Norway!

That might actually be 100% correct

seems maybe as backup to enrique, so we can use zoggy in attack where he is best.

just watched it on .co.uk, and with him ending the interview with : "3 people around the club who will die for it, and withing some days hopefully a 4th one" Exciting!

56!

i hate freddie shepard, or the PLC or whatever, for demanding the sale of him. With him and Shearer a few more years we would have won something. ( hihi )

Hes definately not worth that money. Id pay 10 for him, not more. For 17 mil we could just aswell go for some real star quality like Van der Vaart or Diego Exactly! if your going spend big money why not spend it on someone who really is worth that much, that isn't Carrick for sure. Why would van der vaart and diego be stars in the premiership? Carrick has proven himself to be top-notch in Tottenham and Manchester United. ATM we cant take gambles, not until the summer. Good Buy if Keegan gets him imo.

awfulfree. its absolute rubbish for an offensive team.

7-1 vs Spurs. With some luck it couldve been 15-1. Never ever seen a side produce so many chances, With such good fullbacks going forward, and an absolutely outstanding Rob Lee in the middle. Class Game. (also my brother is a Spurs fan )

BRILLIANT. just brilliant. overjoyed.

rumoured to form a partnership with Sir Alex Ferguson to manage Newcastle... hihi

Just pointing a few things out for the discusion, thats all Faggio. No worries, Gimp. It's just the OMG SOUNESS WON TROPHIES point is desperate, anyone with half a brain could tell you he's useless and a few trophies won't disguise that. he has actually won quite alot... check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graeme_Souness Its just in the Premier League he probably is the worst ever to manage teams.

he did however win with Rangers, and Galatasaray. Won a FA cup with Liverpool, and a League Cup with Blackburn?
