19's Portsmouth.

I've got a man of the match tankard that was awarded to Kevin Scott. Another useless fact for you there.

Milner? Where's that come from? You've got more chance of signing Milburn, man. I like the way you think he's a possible "injection of pace" btw, the one thing he is not. Yakubu pulled in 15 goals but didn't score at all in the last 13 games, it'll be interesting to see how he does without Viduka, he's a good player though. Dong Gook Lee is absolutely fucking hopeless and Aliadiere has got a hell of a lot to prove in the Premiership. You've not got much in your midfield. Rochemback's up and down, Cattermole's dreadful, Boateng's on the slide, Morrison's out of favour, Johnson's unproven, Downing's good when on form but I don't think he had a great season last, Arca's been good for you though, obviously less said about Euell the better. Tuncay's a surprise signing though, a good free since you've put most of your eggs in the Woodgate basket, got to give credit to Southgate for that one, if he's as good as everyone seems to think he is, you should be ok. Like us, you left it late to pull yourself free of relegation but you've lost your best player, so he'll have to be, depending on who else you sign.

blueyes.gif First fixture I look for, not been let down yet.

Viduka returns to the Riverside almost immediately too, I've not been there for a couple of seasons, but think I will this time.

Away on Boxing Day again!

You might already know this Dave, my mate from Leeds was telling me the other day that on the local Leeds United phone in, when the callers get on the air, the presenter asks them how Leeds were today, "Bremner or Brolin", and they'll say "God we were absolutely Brolin today" if they were bad and obviously the other way for Bremner, quite a funny idea I thought. Best I could come up with were "Beardsley or Boumsong" or my favourite "Shearer or Shola".

If Bent doesn't end up at Tottenham after all of the ITK claims they have been making it would be unreal. They would officially rank as the most delusional fans ever! No a certain other team has that title safely wrapped up. Who's that then?

I fucking hate Willie McKay and I don't even know what he looks like. Odious greedy slimeball, I'd love us to stop dealing with him but he seems to control every fucking footballer from here to Africa.

I hated Brian Moore as a commentator, but his bit when Owen scored against Argentina was ace. Quite literally couldn't believe his eyes and you could tell. Similarly, I can't stand Motson, but I love his "oooh, this is getting better and better and better!" when Owen completed his hat-trick in Munich.

If he is still here I am confident he will do that. Me too.

I'd imagine Viduka would be pretty frustrated anyway if we're pinging long balls for him to win headers. Not that type of player in any way, shape or form.

Tomorrow's News of the World:

That article about Oba and Viduka is more nonsense than I ever thought could be packed into a paragraph. As johnny says, the Boro fans are absolutely devastated about Viduka - as my best friend says "he's better than Juninho ever was" and most Boro fans would have Juninho's babies tomorrow - and as for "when has Oba Martins been able to form successful partnerships with anyone other than his accountant? Or shown the slightest wish so to do?", it's such bollocks that I don't even know where to start. Does he even know who Martins is? As brummie says though, Liddle's a slimeball whose opinion is not worth jack shit. God knows why a reputable newspaper like the Times gives him column space to voice his fatuous shite. Back to the original point, Barton's being a total cunt about it all, and not exactly endearing himself to his new fanbase, by refusing to sign for their club over the matter of an obscene amount of money for nothing.

Barca mackems.

Ah right.

Is this the last game then? I'm sitting in a Barca shirt, but I'd love Sevilla to win it.

Viva Sevilla!

Great post brummie, I agree. I'm more than happy with our dealings on the cheap so far personally.

:lol: That first Roeder game was the Shearer game against Portsmouth btw.

In the Union Rooms the other day watching the England game, there was a bloke who was telling his mates that Rio makes as many mistakes as Bramble and that Ferguson wasn't a great manager because he'd paid £14m for Djemba-Djemba. I despair with some people.

Ah that's the fella, ta.
