1. It is AN academy in Buenos Aires, not necessarily a Boca Junior Academy. Imagine if Gateshead FC's academy exclusively invite Boca Junior to scout their best 3 players from England. ie the ones unwanted by Newcastle United, Middlesbrough, Sunderland etc. 2. Pape Diakhate seems to have the right profile (young, versatile, height) , but I really have no idea if he is good. Hopefully someone else would shed the light. to be fair it does then say

life imitates pisstake..............from the journal april 25th couldn't make it up............................could you ?

Why would we think otherwise? He was an average journeyman player, seems ot be a relatively ok coach, and f****** totally unproven scout. But yeah, lets send him round the world, rather than an actual scout. Genius, that. average journey man player ....so?.not like you have to be a top class performer to be a scout,unproven scout ? how do you know what scouting he's done in the last year or is it northern monkeys turning any story into a negative on world scale.

Norwich have been up there in the last 15 years, and they thrashed Bayern Munich no less in europe. And with crouds of 25,000 in the championship im sure they could pull in 30,000 in the premiership. ok dhelia,now about my yorkshires,should i line thin tins with fat or oil? I use molten lard tbh. If you use veg oil they'll turn out like f****** pebbles. they don't like .........but you're right,lard is best

without being locally prejudicial i dom't understand anyone puttind the mackems in their...FFS i'm soon to be 40,i'd be surprised if the mackems have spent 10 yrs of that in the top flight.

aye leicester

Wimbledon??? why not,i went with the clubs i always understood were top flight clubs when growing up,it take a long long while to not accept them as being as big as you think they were.

shit.....can i replace boro and stoke with wolves and derby?

nominate who you think should be in the top flight and also your reasons ie "just grew up with these in division 1" or "biggest clubs" or "just recognise these as top flight clubs",only league of 20 allowed. 1 newcastle 2 man utd 3 liverpool 4 arsenal 5 leeds 6 spurs 7 everton 8 man city 9 chelsea 10 aston villa 11 sheff utd 12 west ham 13 QPR 14 stoke 15 boro 16 west brom 17 birmingham 18 coventry 19 southampton 20 notts forest clubs who've been "top flight" in my mind throughout my life...................wasn't being spiteful missing out the mackems either

gonna make a new thread about this sort of thing..ie who should be in the top flight.

Aye they hate each other, but I get the impression Burnley fans are completely mental, and the place itself is one big Scotswood (nee offence HTT), while Blackburn fans seem completely reserved from my experience of the place, I'm hearing the Hovis tune in my head, but I'm sure they could turn nasty on derby day all the same. Bradford v Huddersfield is very rarely mentioned, but in terms of deaths down the years at those fixtures I think it leads the way, bad thing that mind. bradford/leeds is very spiteful aswell recently

cough* 4-2(sinton 2..mathie,cole2,allen) i think off hte top o me heed

blackburn/burnley is another good one.

Most of Portsmouth is 10 feet below sea level anyway, so global warning should see that this venture is f***** within 20 years. 36,000 is too big for them anyway. "I O Pompey...Pompblub blub blub"

paul hegarty

can't speak onthe boca/river affair but what the others all have in common is "one city"...ours doesn't have that,to a large extent we don't mix,close examples would be liverpool/man utd or derby/forest....close enough to know each other well but far enough to stop it being rivalry and as has been touched onin another thread something that stretches way beyond football.
