  1. OK here is a new one: Name the clubs which were founder members of both the old English Division 4 (now League 2) and the Premier League.
  2. Shut the fuck up about your injury record and England Michael, noone wants to know.
  3. Well said Blef. Of those telling Bridge to 'man up', I'd be interested in seeing how they'd be coping if similar happenned to them one day.
  4. I think the trouble is that Carroll and Ranger are too similar to play together, albeit Carroll is the better goalscorer and Ranger is the better team player. However Carroll doesn't play well on his own, and Ranger relies on having Nolan nearby. Therefore we have Leon Best unfortunately. Should have got a PL player on loan instead though.
  5. Or if the newspaper allegations are true, he can tell his son that he didn't go to a second World Cup (he went to Germany) because Terry paid to have his half-brother aborted.
  6. This has got to be bad for England team morale to be honest. The choice is do we want better team spirit without Terry in the team, or worse team spirit with Terry in the team. Personally I think Terry isn't cut out for European level, let alone international plus he is off form. Therefore I'd drop him.
  7. I can see that becoming a standard part of a medical for any player whose age might just be in question. Can only work up to 17 years unfortunately.
  8. I see Portsmouth Supporter's Trust aren't keen on getting a free 10% stake in Portsmouth, and Supporter's Direct back this stance. Nice to see them acting within their limits without delusions of grandeur.
  9. He was a promising youth player but did his knee in.
  10. Also I'd be tempted at having another look at Oguchi Onyewu next season if we go up, as I reckon he'd be good foil for Colo.
  11. Would want the best back four possible really, and I think Williamson is a lot better centre back than Simpson is a right back and that Taylor is a better right back than Simpson. Unfortunately there is a reason that Simpson's attempts to establish himself in the PL have failed.
  12. You are a student, i am a worker, brings awhole new pertspectrive when on it.
  13. I do have mates, just my style of writing comed across bafly on internrt
  14. Routledge is the best signing for quite a while IMO. Very good championship player with pace and something to dprove in the PL.
  15. How is Solano getting on? I love the man even though he had an affair with his trumpet. I can't even remember who he plays for?!?!
  16. Okay fair enough, but I'd still class it as denying a clear goalscoring opportunity and should carry a harsher punishment. How about a 'dribble penalty' where the attacker gets a 5 yard head start on a defender from where the incident occurred?
  17. The Big Four is just a myth spread by global marketing. Playoffs aren't needed. Some clubs will improve some will destroy themselves and the balance of power will constantly change over time.
  18. It is right to want players just before they peak, or near the start of their peak as that is something we've got massively wrong in the past. However, the £15,000 better be for this division only, as even a half decent 21 year old will want more than that and we have to be competitive.
  19. Leave it to the referees discretion. If it is deliberate, stick with the red as is clearly unsporting behaviour, and the player chose to commit the foul and give away the penalty. He could have shown some intelligence and not made the foul. However, if the ref thinks the defender made a genuine attempt to play the ball, or in the case of a non-intentional hand ball incident blocking a shot a yellow should be sufficient.
  20. I suppose at some clubs lower down the divisions, those fans who can't go to games would never see any substantial match action, so I can see why people would want to buy.
