Would have taken a point... got to pick up a win soon though! This sounded like it would have been a good opportunity. Shame.

Not manager today

.... D'oh (should've have guessed).

WBA will be loving begging for Hodgson already!

Oh god....

The thing is the kid I was arguing with then trooped out a load of names like Faye, Luque, Guivarc'h etc.

Guivarc'h and Luque actually scored more than zero goals for us. So argument ended for that one

Was that the game where his flick set up Dyer?

Yes

Sib didn't score, but he was great in that home Alkmaar game too.

And I was in Newcastle that year Never saw Lisbon as that big of a blow at the time... probably because of how we capitulated at almost the same stage a year earlier. Remember the home leg, Milner missed an easy close range chance to make it 2-0 late on. After that, I never felt confident we would survive the away leg.

Shame, that yellow kit was class.

That was back when he really was young and promising.... before the brain injury began.

I can see why they would want this, but on the other hand the FA also need to cut down on the needless fixtures. Like playing a friendly three days before the start of the Premier League season.

He looks trimmer than I expected in the training photos.

Just had a look... indeed. He also seems like he's just picked up all of Xisco's old gear

^ Players can't change during the course of the season.

Radio5 Live said Hughton will want to bring in his own Number 2

 

Made me chuckle.

On a plate? in a bag?

Diaby is France captain? Christ

Think it's Alou Diarra

Simon Kjaer... great signing to make on FIFA11 by the way!

2016 centre back and captain.

Nah I think Routledge was quite good in matches tbh. Blistering pace ...

He seemed desperate to use that pace as little as possible though

Might have a listen - even if it is TalkSport. I have a lot of time for Keys & Gray.

Will get me to listen to TalkSport again if I catch it. Maybe they could just podcast it.

Typo?

Yeah, definitely got too excited there. I apologise to the Society of Men.

Forget Shakira... who is that brunette?!!

... although she also seems to be bigger and more imposing than Puyol, so I am in two minds 

classic

You do get about CG!

It did not feel right that Chelsea should lose yesterday but there was something sweet about the fact that Fernando Torres did.

 

The enemy of romance in football found himself on the wrong end of a beating from underdogs who just happen to have won the European Cup and the Champions League five more times than he has.

 

The £50m striker with the dead soul was beaten by a team fashioned by a manager who has more feeling for his football club than Torres will ever have.

 

The man who jumped ship because he couldn't wait to start stacking up the trophies with a big club saw the big club defeated by the side he had just deserted.

  ... Yeah, I think we get it already!

Colo has been better then Tiote

than

 

ffs stop bumping this thread. just let it die 

Not bloody likely. This will like the Owen thread only 100 times worse.
