  1. Maybe at the start of the window but we don't really have time to go for players who probably don't even want to play for us now. ffs we can only draw villa at home who wants to come here tbh
  2. I know this is english being typed but I don't understand the words.
  3. Looked 10 times the team we were in the first half when we switched to 4-4-2. Sam you have to accept it.
  4. That's one way to put it. I think we've all noticed it too -- Viduka basically has to get shot by the defender before a ref will call a foul in his favor.
  5. Fucking hope so. Not enjoyed this 4-3-3 at all this season, results notwithstanding.
  6. I'd laugh except you're probably right.
  7. Two things: 1. The release clause is in Oba's contract without Oba having requested it or even knowing about it? How did that happen exactly? 2. If Oba wants to sign a new deal without the clause, and for the same money, as he says - get it sorted. What is the delay? Oh, and it's a great read. Really thrilled that Oba seems to be settling so well. The answer to both is, I imagine .... Agents.

    Glen Johnson

    hahahahahhahahahaha what a fucking choice. Shit or Shit.
  9. Went out second round to Scunthorpe didn't they?
  10. Performance bonuses for european play, simple as. Greedy fucks.
  11. Sam if you're reading this DO IT!!!
  12. Was that where he scored the winner against Arsenal?
  13. Martins isn't the finisher ManU need. They need an RvN type more than they need a Martins type. The Anelka link to ManU makes a lot more sense.
  14. Certainly hope the subtext wasn't painted as "go away, we hate Icelanders". It's more "go away, we don't want anyone buying the club again in the same summer"
  15. Cannot fucking stand Fulham. Don't know why, Don't care, I just want them gone. Other four were Mackems, Spurs, Man Utd and Chelsea. Who are the two who voted reading?
  16. From what I understand, he has no defense over there. As long as it doesn't do his confidence in, he'll come out better because of it. Against Rangers and Celtic no less. Definitely safe to say all 11 weren't down to him.
  17. The refs are indirecty controlled by the clubs, it's in their best interests to overly protect the players. PGMOL (Professional Game Match Officials Limited, the company responsible for the National List and Select Group officials) is allegedly an independent organisation, but it's controlled by the chief executives of the Premier League, the Football League, and The FA, who constitute its board (Keith Hackett is the general manager and ultimately has to answer to them). Given that these bodies can be relied upon to do what the clubs want, it follows that the clubs can exert an influence over the officials via Hackett and frankly would be stupid not to with things working how they do.
  18. They go in for goalkeeping over there, much better with their hands than their feet. Remember Rocky in Escape to Victory? What a keeper! Aye, when our males turn 5 they're turned loose into the wild and ordered not to come back until they've picked a sport. If the lad comes back and announces "soccer" the father casts a wearying gaze at him and with a mournful sigh acquiesces with the condition that he at least be a keeper. It's like the beginning of 300, if that helps
  19. Thought Gary was the natural RB. Phil never held down a solid place at Man U, played all over.
