Why?

Ben Haim only cost Bolton £150k, same as Toure cost Arsenal - bit harsh saying the lad will only ever be a squad player just because of the fee. I couldn't give a toss if it's boring if he's any good. Better than pissing nearly £10m away on Babayaro and Boumsong.

Why is he a twat?

Mean't I hope that was deliberate.

Derbyshire has looked a handy player whenever I have seen him. Excellent finisher, his goal tonight was typical of the ones he seems to score for Blackburn, pick the corner out with no bother.

What the fuck was that for?

If the Serb had been badly injured, fair enough, but the bloke could have tying his laces for all Derbyshire knew, clearly wasn't in any pain.

The bloke was sat on the floor looking like he was having a fucking rest, he even turned round to see the goal! That stretcher's all for show. Great finish from Derbyshire, he's been excellent since coming on.

Serbs just been denied an absolute stonewall penalty.

Yeah they were supposed to play Blackburn but a viral epidemic took out most of the squad, think Robson claimed he was minus 20-odd players. Boro claimed that the league had given them permission because they could prove that they couldn't field 11 fit players, but they ended up being deducted three points soon after the event and that took them down in the end.

One paper today says he didn't ask for a release clause because he's so sure of them keeping their Premiership status.

Shearer turned 33 at the start of 2003-04, in which he scored 28 goals, so that might be overstating slightly 34 year old Viduka........ Plus Viduka's only 31 anyway, Sheringham signed for Man Utd at that age.

The irony of Vic telling someone they've stopped debating "facts". Still waiting for him to back up his "Viduka only scores consolations" accusation. Vic man, you don't even watch Newcastle on the telly, it's "facking buwshit", there's absolutely fuck all chance you've seen the Boro.

As strikers who play with their back to goal and bring others into play, only Berbatov and Drogba are better than Viduka in the Premiership.

He's the best player (at least he's just had the best season, Woodgate takes the gold medal at the top of his game) of a team who finished above us in the league yet he's not good enough for us. On the other hand, Northern Monkey doesn't think we're a big club and is constantly telling us how no footballer worth his salt will ever want to come here. Don't know who the fuck he actually expects us to sign.

At best, Mark Viduka is below average? I have seen the fucking lot now.

The only comparitor (sic) is league goals? Despite Middlesbrough giving up on the league halfway through it and him hauling them nearly-singlehandedly to the final of a competition that we've been trying to get to for the best part of 15 years? Ok then.

some of us have longer memories and do not see the previous player as the standard to be bettered, especially as there is a different manager and owner Fair enough, but would you agree that Viduka is a vast improvement on Sibierski? the phrase 'vast improvement' does a diservice to Sibierski and completely ignores massive flaws in Viduka you can't even say they are a direct replacement, Sibierski wasn't even a striker What massive flaws? Dod you ever see him before last season?? :lol: Yes. You clearly didn't. His goal record will hold up to anyone's and his natural ability on the ball is fantastic. 1 in 4 (near as dammit), like i said. Why have you missed out the season he got 20 in 33? or 17 in 34? Or last season?

Here we go again: I've seen [X player/Y league] a hundred gazillion times, so i know i'm right. I never said that though, so don't misquote me. It was a general comment, put your handbag down, pet. Suggest you don't quote me when saying it then. Suggest all you like. Your post was typical of that kind of shite, so i used it to quote. Tough. Fucking clueless. Abuse disguised as a comment. Not a surprise, but welcome nonetheless. You haven't let me down, thank you. Viduka has never ever scored 1 in 4 in a season in English football. That shows EXACTLY how much you know about him. 05/06 - 7 in 27 league games. Oh, and 3 assists. 04/05 - 5 in 16. 1 assist. 03/04 - 11 in 30. 3 assists. Thats (roughly) - 1 in 4, 1 on 3, 1 in 3. And a shite assist record. Sugggest you add on the 6 in 9 he got in the UEFA Cup, because after Christmas Boro were putting out reserve sides in the league so they could get there, and he was easily the most important player in doing so.

None of those players spent two months out with a broken toe either.
