Dokko

He was taking the piss out of the mackems who were banging on about how they only lost to us as Evans wasn't playing.

Nurse.

Horrific in a horrifically bad big sam way.

Hes 30 by the way and you have to be realistic,these are the kind of players we might only be able to sign. 30 might be young in Italy, but its not here in the EPL, he might not be able to handle the pace constantly every game at that age, especially if he's off form in the 1st place. Massive gamble as he'll command a huge salary, i don't think its in the realms of bringing a flair player over who's on his way out, but by the time he's settled he's 31 and then were really looking at a replacement anyway. I don't see the point in going for him, and if were being realistic he'll want euro football at least and the only reason why anyone is entertaining the thought is due to geographical reasons that were canny close to Scotland. Dose of realism, he's not going to be interested yet an up and coming mid 20's trying to make a mark for himself might be.

Obviously not now but they did get relegated twice over didn't they, but the new stadium was 40 miles away or something stupid like that!

Ashton injured himself scoring like?

From what?

Everyone banging on about how they don't want stars on their way out, yet cum in their pants at the mention of an aging out of form Gattuso.

I hope Leicester go down. They are a vile club. Fantastic club. http://www.bluekipper.com/obituaries/bernard_murphy.htm What happened? That just goes on for far too fuking long to read it properly.

As it's a Bosman, decide the transfer fee that would have been paid, divide by the number of years on the contract,, add that annual figure to the annual wages, could easily make £144k pw if Milan wanted to pay it. There's no way over 5 years he's worth £40m. He's a £10m player max imo, even in this good form. As for wages i wouldn't pay more than £65kpw for him. All together that's £27m or divided with no transfer fee is about £100kpw, which is POSSIBLY about right for a free of his ability. Crazy money, crazy deal, but all Arsenal's fault for mis-judging his talent and trying to sort it out too late. The Diarra sale looks even more docile by the minute.

Sacked in the summer anyway. Anyone who takes a lump out of the dirty cunt Ljungberg is a star in my books.

Mental considering at the start of the season he wasn't really anything to write home about, in fact Arsenal were looking to off load him for £3m, and a lot of people on here (inc myself i think) thought he wasn't good enough. to make a bid for!

Can't believe the rumour is its going to be a straight swap - Smith for a footballer.

Just getting a tad overworn now Nuke Alex.

What? London Media List.

Bit of james Brown there.

Nuke Wales.

But we weren't talking about this season, that's why i said, before this season, you are just being pedantic, which only serves to be highly annoying and doesn't prove anything else but that.

No sorry, you are the one not reading things properly to suit: I said before this season. Anytime before this season when Harper has played he's not been solid or excellent. Fair enough he's needed a run, but do you remember the last time he had a run? Do you wonder why fans who can remember that time actually hold Given in such high regard? Thought not. If you think i was talking about this start of the season then you sir are the idiot.

I SAID BEFORE THIS SEASON! Are you thick as fuk or blind or a bit of both? FFS man. Chill man. Does anyone else remember the two periods under Gullit & SBR? He was terrible. But a lot of people were forgiven due to not expecting much and the fact he's a local lad and deserved his chance, the exact same reason SBR gave him that extended chance at Given's expense. Fuking dicks banging on about Alonso's goal FFS like thats the only time he's ever done fuk all wrong, honestly man. He wasn't terrible though, he was solid enough with a few mistakes early on which were understandable having not been playing regular first team football, same with his fuck ups at Spurs and Liverpool in recent years. He was.

I SAID BEFORE THIS SEASON! Are you thick as fuk or blind or a bit of both? FFS man. No you idiot , what you said is that he's been bad every season appart from this one. That's entirely different to when you then said "do you remember the last time he had a run in the team".. which actually was at the start of this season.. You might not want to question other people's knowledge when you obviously can't remember yourself.. I've been banging on about 'apart from this season' from the off in this thread you moron, you even commented on it. Jesus fuking wept. Its also what started this whole disagreement, so why would i include anything to do with this season? Idiot.

No its not. And the reason why he's been happy to sit on the bench for so long as he's not been good enough to command a 1st team spot for the best part of his career, here or at any other regular EPL club. Yes.. it is. Either you're massively under rating Harper, or massively ove rating the rest of the leagues keepers, or a bit of both. I mean common, take a look around at the Premiership and check out some of the keepers you claim would definitely keep Harper out.. Was the first time you saw Harper the time when he slipped and got beaten by that long range shot against Liverpool or what? Because appart from that he's been solid to excellent every time he's been called upon. I said before this season. Anytime before this season when Harper has played he's not been solid or excellent. Fair enough he's needed a run, but do you remember the last time he had a run? Do you wonder why fans who can remember that time actually hold Given in such high regard? Thought not. He was pretty solid a good few years ago when he kept Given out the side for a while and Given handed in a transfer request as a result. Given was injured and lost his place, Harper was playing average, nothing great but the manager wanted to reward him, he was actually falling apart by the time Given handed in his request, and a match or so later he himself was injured and Given returned. Harper did a decent job in that spell tbh, perfectly solid, to say he was falling apart is just utter bollocks. No he didn't, he was average at best. 90% of toon fans couldn't wait till Given was back in the net, i do actually remember this quite well, obviously you don't. I wanted Given back in net like most because Given was a far superior player to Harper at the time, but Harper was solid enough, he has improved a little since then while Given has gone backwards since Marlon Harewood almost killed him. Given is on the worst form of his life (inc injuries) while Harper is in the best form of his life. The quality difference between the two remain even if the form of both have levelled out or have even swapped. I'd start Harper over Given now, and probably for next season, but Harper is peaking and coming of age, finally, Given when he settles down and comes out of this period will be by far the superior keeper, people need to remember this, seems like a lot are forgetting.
