  1. Of all South Americans/European League players I have ever seen play, I'd say that Aimar is the least suited to playing Premier League football.
  2. what is a high brow transfer rumour ? That my friend is the answer we all seek ... And you can bet your bottom dollar that people would complain about the interpretation.
  3. Don't forget that we may also have the chance to put Arsenal in an automatic CL place.
  4. Don't know why you just couldn't click on 'Transfer Section' and find it easier to avoid those threads you mention.
  5. I detest Chelsea they are a plastic club with despicable players. Liverpool are my favourites of those five.
  6. So if it's not sick, what is it porridge?
  7. Too right indi, I've got waay to many interesting projects ongoing this summer to be trawling through an unmanageable rumours thread. Sticking to one thread would stop people making interesting posts regarding transfers, as more likely than not it would end up in that thread where the sun don't shine, no-one will read, and almost no-one will bother to reply.
  8. Exactly. Would be an annoying compartmentalisation. That is better than one massive clogged up pile of s*** though. If people don't want to talk about the rumours or whatever, they'll just drift down the pages anyway never to be seen again. Part of the fun in the summer on here, imo, is the daft rumours. When there's no football on, there's nowt better than sitting trawling through the tabloid websites when you've just got in late from work or even out drinking, and being linked with Raul, Ronaldinho, and then getting people saying they're past it, not good enough, wouldn't come in a million years, etc. Would take a lot of the enjoyment out of the forum for the summer for me anyway. As I see it a transfer forum won't prevent rumours and endless speculation, it will encourage it, but in a way that isn't going to affect a core group of users.
  9. There definitely shouldn't be a general football. A rumours section will just help people filter out what they want to and dont want to read. Otherwise good threads get hidden by Harry-Norway's pleas that we sign BREDE HANGELANDELAND from Fulham why not as they are relegated??!!!!!!???!!!!!
  10. It is artificial segregation really. I'm sure that there would be less race issues if people from different communities integrated with white British society rather than all being bunched together, talking to one another in their own languages etc. The separate communities you see in many cities just leads to mistrust and lack of understanding.
  11. The worry is with all these threads is that when Keegan signs the modern day Andy Cole, or the modern day Les Ferdinand with no Deco or Ronaldinho in sight, people are going to be very dissapointed as a result of the hype they themselves have created.
  12. Signs until 2010, and he wants to go out on loan next season. Fair play to the lad, he has apparently worked really hard for the past couple of seasons.

    Edgar or Taylor?

    Only thing I remember Edgar getting badly wrong was in the first five minutes, the ball was out wide, we had lots of men back, so Edgar decided to help close down their winger but ended up getting nutmegged and then obstructing Hunt to give away a free kick. You seem to have to be in a pro-Taylor or anti-Taylor camp in the minds of some on here, and I certainly think that there are some pro-Taylor figures who would attack anyone that is blocking Taylor's closest route to the first team, while anti-Taylor people always think that it should be Taylor that is replaced by others. I know it has been refreshing to see us stick with a settled team, but I'd now take turns to rest individuals from the established team for singular matches, and bring players in to see if they can contribute with our current system. I'd wait till after Portsmouth and mackems though, as I want some pride from those games. Then I'd try playing Kadar at left back for one game, give Edgar another go at CB in another game, and try Forster in goal and Carroll in Viduka's role.
  14. Just don't post any fixture lists guys.

    Thierry Henry

    Henry is also a better left winger than anyone in our squad if we wanted to stick with our current trio up front.

    Thierry Henry

    I think Arsenal became one dimensional in Henry's last season because he was the only 'name' in the team and team mates looked in his direction too much. Same happenned with Owen at Liverpool, and England too before Rooney came along. I don't think we'd be quite as one dimensional with Henry in our squad.

    Thierry Henry

    I think he'd still contribute more to the team than Martins when he plays, and I reckon that Martins could learn a lot understudying Henry, and would still get enough games when Henry gets injured. For me, I think we still need to buy the cake mixture, bake it, put the icing on the cake, and if we still have the resources, Henry would make a sumptious cherry.
  18. Essentially, Wigan have missed out on Europe then because their players didn't respect the referees as well as Manchester City's, and because Steve Bruce/Chris Hutchings weren't as proffessional as Sven Goran Eriksson. Goes to show that those little things can actually benefit your club.

    Oba...Obafem

    Like someone says, no worse than something you'd see on South Park or in a satirical magazine.
  20. All hail Alan Smith If you look at how we've scored points, as discussed earlier in the thread, it is more of a case of "All hail Sam Allardyce and his shit football" than "all hail Alan Smith".
  21. Custis and Allardyce are mates. He travelled with Sam in the helicopter to SJP.
  22. I don't really mean that you know, but every time that Fat bastard spouts his lies and propaganda, we should be looking to ridicule him with our own
