As a Finn it's hard to be objective about Litmanen. Made everything look so easy and always had time on the ball. Shame I was so young when he played for Ajax and was one of the best in Europe, never appreciated it enough then. It's also a great shame that injuries plagued his career after he left Ajax. It's going to take decades for Finland to have a player of his calibre again. More likely never again. Right now we are excited to have a striker on Schalke's bench.

Was browsing a Chelsea forum and saw this: Football is f***ing wrong.

I think it was alright. There's clearly potential and even if he fails to fulfill it at least it was worth a try for the price.

Pretty much this. Challenge for top 7/6 and try to grab a cup.

Parky is like ambassador of Finland.

:lol:

Great summary Kaiz. Have lot of friends who have just picked a team but have no idea what's going on. Luckily the majority of these wankers are not interested in joining a football forum.

I have never seen Gomis have a good game. Not seen much but has looked like a younger Shola with a broken hip. 10 million euros seems way too much.

You can stay at home if you just ignore all the media. Or are you hiding under a rock inside your home?

Depressing times when the first reaction to this is that Santon must be going then. This would be great signing squadwise as then we would've 3 fullbacks with Santon able to play on both sides. Still, where's my CB and a striker first?

Sign him up.

I love football.

We have proved ourselves to be pretty canny TBF. In this case it's that we don't have enough money. Have we ? We LOOKED as if we did with Cisse, then look at his goals return this season.. We LOOKED as if we did with Tiote but he is now unrecognizable as the player we signed... We probably DID get lucky with both Cabaye and HBA(the latter because he had been at loggerheads with his previous manager) but how long do you think they will remain at SJP if we either get relegated or just miss it? We missed out on De Jong and he has not been a success so far at Moenchengladbach - likewise Douglas - we had to sell Ba for a relative pittance because we wouldn't have got him anyway if we hadn't agreed to the exit clause in his contract and we got lucky with selling Carroll because Liverpool were stupid enough to pay 35m for him. Obertan has been poor and Bigi is still a young player...Good is on loan to Bradford . Colo is probably the best signing we have made ..do you think Ashley would have agreed to pay Colo's original contract. Then we have the likes of Williamson...perhaps we won't go there.. As for Debuchy, there is NO way he would have arrived at SJP if Cabaye hadn't been there..... Colo was getting 80,000 a week...do you think THAT was stupid and would Ashley pay any player that now, even though that is reputedly what Remy is getting from QPR ? If we don't have enough money how come QPR did and whose fault is it if a club getting 50,000 gates versus one getting 20,000 odd can't compete in the transfer market ? Horrible post. Ashley was here when Coloccini signed. Also it's fucking ridiculous to question our recent transfer record. Cisse and Tiote are shit and we got lucky with Cabaye and HBA? There's nothing wrong with the quality of the players we've signed, we just need more of them.

apparently he's got ryan giggs pregnant!?? Giggsing a question?

The protection Jonas offers is superb, I don't remember Santon having to defend one-on-one all game. I think Jonas had better game too than before the injury, still not good enough to play as wide forward. If Remy joins I hope he is only considered as CM back-up.

I'm pretty certain Colo has enough money to get her quality treatment in Argentina too. Great performance today by Colo, praying he stays here.

Good lineup, 3-1 win.

Okay, let's just give him to San Lorenzo.

If he really needs to go home I think best solution would be to just let him go (not paying wages for the time he's off) and re-evaluate the situation in the summer. Little break from football can't hurt in a situation like this. I'll be mad if San Lorenzo gains something from this.

Can't believe his dad is trying to use this to get Colo back to his team.

If it was just that I'm sure his dad or someone else would've mentioned it.

This, wish I could just give up football.

They do after extra time Then what help are they going to be to Swansea when Chelsea now have to score 2 goals in Swansea to level the tie.
