It's no 'Buffalo soldier, Geordie left back'...

James, what the fuck are you doing?

He said in his press conference "this is the best squad of players I've ever had to work with." He then proceeded to spaff £50m+ on improving it......only to turn in our worst league position for a decade. He did more damage in his time here than any of us could ever have imagined. An utter, utter, utter twat.

Souness.

Shame they're safe. We could have delta massive blow to their hope of staying up...

Problem is - some of them seem to mean it! And we just think it's funny. A lot of them are playing the 'I hate the mags more than you' game though...

I think a few people on here are taking their comments seriously...

Distin spent the 01/02 season here. Robson tried to sign him permanently but there was bother over his wages iirc. Robson bought Bramble in the summer of 02.

Cahill > Emre. Slightly different players/roles granted.

They must be sick as fuck though tbh. Only 2nd in the league with a mere 74 points and just the poxy Champions League semi-final to look forward to. Poor bastards...

Agree. Easy done sometimes though.

Good question... ask HTT.

Head says 1-1, heart says 2-1. An early goal would be nice and I wouldn't be surprised to see a red card. Looking forward to it and I don't see the point in getting nervous and chewed about the whole day. Just have a bit of faith and deal with whatever happens - we should beat them.

General reminder: NO YOUTUBE LINKS PLEASE. I know it's tempting to post/share them but we all know where to find them. Just don't do it eh?

Van Basten's volley vs USSR in 88.

Owen vs Argentina in 98. Weah vs Verona in 96.

That one in Le Tournai was ridiculous. When he started his run up you knew he was going to smash it but to bend it around the wall and back inside the post was just insane. Never seen a ball move as much in the air as that shot did.

Don't think Gerrard has been anywhere near his best this season personally. Not saying he's had a bad season but by his own high standards, he's underperformed imo.

Roberto Carlos' free kick in the Tournoi in 97. Also scored a cracker from near the corner flag for Real. Loads to choose from though.

He's a dirty, horrible, diving cheating bastard. Canny in his pomp like.

Away goals > pens.

Bayern's name is on it this year.

Impossible to answer. Transfer fees have calmed down a bit in the last few seasons too. I remember when Toldo and Buffon both went for about £25m about 5 years ago. Crespo too.

Must be a nice decision to make though. Take the £100m and rebuild the team or keep Ronaldo and have him torture defences for the next few years.

I'm pretty sure their net spend was lower than ours this summer. They sold an awful lot of awful players. Yep, i know, it wasn't too high. However, regardless of whether or not they've done alright financially, they have had a big transfer budget and wasted it. Di Canio will get the West Ham job eventually. If not, Bilic.
