The goal's been coming since HT. Pearce should have changed his system or his personnel to deal with the changes the Italians made. Poor poor management.

'Livid' didn't even come close tbh...

I could cut and paste exactly what I wrote when Sidwell chose Chelsea. There are several very good reasons for signing for Chelsea. I don't blame him for choosing them but if he thinks he'll play in more than half of the games, he's deluded. He'd have improved us but he's chosen them. Fair enough and lets find someone else.

so u honestly think its just a coincidence? Both Sheffield clubs will be in the Football League next season...

Aye, Mourinho complained that they played more games under floodlights than any other club so he lobbied adidas for a brighter kit.

Definitely. Wonder how long Barton spends in the salon getting his hair chopped?

A canny fixture list in my opinion. We get the whole 'big Sam goes back to Bolton' out of the way first game then lots of winnable games up to Christmas. A tough January and February and we may have a few tough games in the FA cup too. Then a decent (ish) run in. Lots of Saturday games too...

Now Nugent would be a canny signing for them tbh. Fully expecting Everton to match it though. He's a scouser so I'd assume he'd probably want to play for them though??

If he's so good, why have none of the top teams in either England, Spain, Italy or Germany seriously gone for him? I mean, he's signed for Middlesbrough. That was his best option? Boro?

If you had a few million tucked away, you wouldn't give a shit. Barton may be legally entitled to the money but he certainly doesn't deserve it. Greedy fucking arsehole. Couldn't give a shit if he's virtually our player or not. If he's acting the cunt, he's acting the cunt. Not arguing with that, cos it's spot on! But the mentality of a rich man is to want more. If the £300,000 is rightfully his, it's not like he's not going to put up a fight for it. Let's be realistic. If he cared about his own PR and how the public viewed him he'd just drop it. The fact he hasn't dropped it has started ringing my own personal alarm bells about the transfer tbh.

I'll rephrase my answer...... in fact, fuck it - I'll just say it again: 'Giving Ben Haim any more than £40k a week would be lunacy.'

you mean harper wont be made number one when shay goes after all his years of waiting??? on a serious note the lad showed true promise obviously could still turn out to be a flop but while he is here for the long term and is under little to no presure then its a very good thing for the club. God forbid...

Our man in South America! Would be nice if he spotted the next Cubillas for us like.

People said the same thing about Alen Boksic...

I'd like him to be released on a free in a year (or 2?) as a gesture of goodwill to make sure this actually happens. blueyes.gif

Way over the hill and we should be aiming for much better. Used to be good, now he's not.

Jinxed it tbh.

I'd say it's the assists as well though mate that he brings to the team as well. Don't know how he'd fit in unless Eto'o actually goes mind. Saying that personally I don't feel Henry should have ever been made captain of Arsenal as he's an appauling leader. They'll need a top class finisher and someone to create. Having said that, I'm expecting Rosicky to step up next season and have more of an impact. Wouldn't surprise me at all if they go for Owen tbh...

If the Arsenal walk away with £18m then they've done extremely well out of this. They'll need to replace his 25 goals per season but Wenger can stretch £18m a long way imo.

He's got a nose for the right deal...

I'm baffled tbh.

A dogshit defender who need to be peddled asap. There's far better out there I'm sure, and hopefully Allardyce has got his replacement in his sights. He's no better than Wayne Quinn tbh.

Giving Ben Haim any more than £40k a week would be lunacy.

That's a dangerous precedent to set though imo.
