Emre is more effective when he plays against tiring players. Fact is, we get more from Emre if he plays the last half an hour than we would get from him if he plays the first sixty minutes.

There have been embarassing leaks for years.

Its Nina Myers

In that case, it would have been in the papers the morning before the news of his arrest had broken.

Owen is the Times and Sun, IIRC.

cant his agent have leaked it ? Yes, I'm banged up. Lets make it worse for myself by getting my agent to tell the press that I've fallen out with Allardyce.

Can't be Barton if he is banged up.

Not just in football man. There are plans to scan all kids in secondary schools, basicaslly as mandatory as the TB injection. Basic heart trace would do. I had one about 3 years ago, when I was 18/19. Took about 15 minutes, max. I would be very surprised if that didn't already form part of a footballer's medical. Other sports though have mandatory and extensive tests for every participant that take place before every event, and have a huge team of independent medical experts who can stopsportsmen from competing if they fail these tests. This would also allow for better drug testing. Footballers should have independent medicals every month in my opinion, bringing it into line with other intensive sports.

Oh, will we have lost all ANC people before the next game?

My team: Given Beye Taylor Cacapa Enrique Butt Faye Milner N'Zogbia Duff Martins Let Butt and Faye deal with Elano, and let Zog, Martins and Duff carry on from where they left off against Chelsea with less defensive responsibility, then bring on Emre, Viduka and Owen later on to cause some damage after our front quartet have worn out Man City.

I watched the whole game. He does seem heavier and slower than of old to be honest, he would have done better with a couple of saves he made early on a couple of years ago, and didn't save anything that couldn't be expected from a Premier League goalkeeper.

RIP Football does not do enough heart testing, especially in Britain, yet the demands of the game have increased. This should become compulsory.

Sinclair is a dangerous substitution.

Who Booed Cole?

Faye is probably our most creative central midfielder.

He'll come back claiming he's the ANC top goalscorer, when in reality he didn't even get a game as he got lost on his way out of the airport. Hasn't he claimed to be going to Nigeria to play internationals before, but not turn up, and reappear in the Italian mountains a day or so later?

Guess who bought him last night? You?

Terrible cockup from Robinson for Reading's goal.

Why isn't Sam next to Mort in the stands as per usual? Have they fallen out?

Terrible.

Just been a development there. Beye shall play at left back, with Zog taking up a favoured right back role.

Ah well, Beye said the same [/delusional]

The spurs board has more leaks than a sieve. It wont be them.

My head says Arsenal, my heart says Newcastle. None of the other clubs mentioned could have kept quiet.
