    Ballon d'Or

    Thought he only got a couple over the course of the season. 08/09 was better for him iirc. It's all fucking toss anyway. It's a ridiculous criteria based on catching the eye in important games. Neither Klose nor Gyan will be anywhere near the award but are merely rewarded for having a decent World Cup. 13 in the league last season, only 1 the season before: http://soccernet.espn.go.com/players/stats?id=42068&cc=5739 Got the 2 seasons mixed up.
  2. You could boil him down and get some canny glue? Do you write your own material? If he's poor at 25 he's not going to get any better imo. Best off just cutting our losses and sending him back down a division or two where his talent belongs. He's of absolutely no use to us whatsoever while we're in this league unfortunately. It's not his fault and the effort is there but the talent isn't.
  3. Even your thoughts have spelling mistakes. I posted it at querter to 12 at night, give me a fucking break.

  5. If you took all of the best bits from Perch, Simpson and Ryan Taylor you still wouldn't make a decent PL Right Back. Steven Taylor or even Coloccini would be a better bet.

Messi should walk it as the most talented player on the planet but I won't hold my breath.

    Ballon d'Or

    Apart from becoming only second to Ronaldo in scoring goals in World Cup finals he didn't do much. If Gyan is in there for his World Cup achievements then so should Klose. Not that I'm debating the ridiculous criteria for being selected like - it's a joke. I think Baba is trying to point out that Gyan impressed at both club and international level, whereas Klose did not ... Club level? What was Gyan's record at Rennes last season?
  8. He is. It's not his fault but at this level he's been found out badly and has become a liability. He needs a move to a club at a lower level where he'll look 'decent'.

  10. Still struggling to summon up a bit of enthusiasm for this.
  11. Wonder how many of our lot need to pay to cover Smith's wages?
  12. Just tell the FA that negotiations started in August and get him registered and he can play straight away. Job done. Worked last time.
  13. Looks a bit like Sned.
  14. What if there's only 2 points between 14th and 17th? I know I'm being a dick btw
  15. Apart from about £2m in prize money, is there any real difference in finishing 14th or 17th? Is it really that much more of an achievement finishing 14th compared to 17th - you've stayed up, not qualified for Europe etc. I do want to finish as high as possible btw, just can't see that much difference in finishing 14th or 17th.
  16. Guaranteed survival still sounds good. The fixture list gets much tougher after Xmas and we'll pick up more injuries and suspensions as we go on.
  17. That's a result for Carroll. Five grand out of his next month's pay and that's it, done. Case closed. Can the bloke he glassed bring a private prosecution?

    Sunderland...

    Bent will score like. He's due one.
  20. Would be pleased if this came off. Nice to have someone in place already when Hughton gets binned.
  21. Looking more and more like the player we've needed for years. Strong in the tackle, shields the ball better than anyone else, has a fabulous engine, is aware enough to sit when he sees a defender continuing a run, can pass the ball and keeps things ticking over. Love him.
