James

1 more than Routledge tbh!

HOUSEMATES!

Why did Krul not even dive? I'd have just tried to second guess where the ball was going to go and thrown myself there. No point waiting for Cole to make contact then just start waving hand up for offside!

Yep. Wonder what Hughton suddenly has against Routledge. I know he didn't look up to it recently, but he's still our best option on the right. Routledge has done nothing to be proud of this season. If we were to play two wingers, I'd consider giving Ferguson or Vuckic a go.

If we are going 4312 then Tiote can push further up than that and Jonas can roam on both wings.

Good.

From what I remember, Dyer's scoring record wasn't particularly bad in his last couple of years here compared to under Robson. May be wrong though but just seem to remember more goals from him later on. Just checked - 04-05 = 6 goals in 34 games 05-06 = 0 goals in 11 games 06-07 = 7 goals in 30 games He was given a more advanced role under Souness and Roeder however, often played up front.

I'd say Ben Arfa is a skilful Dyer. Now that is a complement from me as I was a big fan of Dyer at NUFC. However Dyer was much more effective surrounded by Shearer, Robert, young Solano, Bellamy, Speed, than he was surrounded by Ameobi, Martins, Sibierski, old Solano, Butt, and I fear it was a similar story for Ben Arfa vs Stoke.

I think it is something about the lower divisions being split into North and South sections a couple of decades ago.

Nope because that leaves the next league down short. The solution has always been to reward those clubs who played well, rather than those who have had a bad year hence the extra promotion place. Eventually there will be a place at the lowest tier a team down but there would inevitably be a Pompey FC that suddenly wants to join the football league.

Think we investigated the situation before if a team disappears from the league and it is one extra gets promoted from the leagues below. Can't have only two teams going down as otherwise it wouldn't be fair on the third club that would otherwise go up!

They shouldn't be paying Gaydamak a single penny tbh.

Top of the Head-to-Head. Wooo!

She might have banged her head on the bath while he was banging her though. I personally think this whole story is a load of rubbish and all charges will end up being dropped or he will get off on the self defence plea. So he's the new Lee Chapman then Better than the new Lee Stewart.

Fucking hell. Prior to his leg break, he was good enough to be a Kinkladze/Kanchelskis/Di Canio/Zola/Juninho style cult hero if his attitude turned out OK. Now he's got a broken leg he is a completely unproven player who many good (not top) clubs wont consider looking at until he proves his fitness and form.

I think we can remove the question mark now and replace it with an exclamation mark!

Man U don't have a say according to this: http://www.fifa.com/mm/document/affederation/administration/01/06/30/78/statusinhalt_en_122007.pdf They'll sell him in January. Only on Rooney's terms. If a club he wants to go to wants to wait for him on the cheap there would be nothing Man Utd could do. Man City don't exactly need to penny pinch do they? This is all based on the assumption that Rooney wants to go to Man City and not to one of those stellar foreign clubs.

Man U don't have a say according to this: http://www.fifa.com/mm/document/affederation/administration/01/06/30/78/statusinhalt_en_122007.pdf I'd be amazed if a top class international player invoked the Webster ruling. There is nothing stopping him, and Paul Stretford is his agent. I didn't say there was. I'd still be amazed. Because you don't think footballer's are cunts or because you think Man Utd would challenge it?

Some good/bad news come the end of the season. Ben Arfa will be allowed to tell Marseille that he wants to buy out his contract and they won't be able to stop him. This would probably cost £4-6m.

So he's worth a third of Ronaldo, who also wanted out of Man Utd? FIFA rules state that he can leave for the cost of the wages remaining on his contract plus his last transfer fee minus depreciation. That will definitely be less than £10m. But he has to go abroad for that to happen.

Man U to sell him a penny less they paid for him? You might laugh or call me a Spurs fan but I was passed on some genuine "ITK" info today that came directly from Citeh. They will offer up to £70m this Jan. Not bad. More likely he will go to Real Madrid for £5m in the summer.

It is for real, this is how we signed Jonas. Rooney just has to declare his intention to leave within two weeks of the final PL game of the season, and can only be to a foreign club.
