Wouldn't be 4-6-1 though as there can be between 0 and 4 players up front at any one time.

Nope at Chelsea, with Dyer, I would field the following: Cech Ferreirra Terry Carvalho Cole Makelele Essien Lampard Cole Dyer Robben Drogba While if I could choose a team which is most destructive in the world (not best individuals, but most destructive) Buffon Back Four Gattusso Pirlo Kaka Ronaldo Dyer Robben Drogba

Dont think any of the players that played today are involved in Operacion Puerto.

They are wide players, not central players. Personally, I would say a team which fielded an attacking quartet of Drogba Robben Dyer Ronaldo would be the best attacking and most unstoppable quartet in the world, and the defence would not be compromised.

You mean lampard? Yeah I did, think Motson shouted Carrick so I typed it Ferdinand, I mean not Carrick.

Name another player who can scare Carles Puyol shitless by running forward through the centre from the midfield to the attack.

I'd totally overhaul the England side for a few matches. Foster G Neville Woodgate Ferdinand Bridge Lennon Barton Hargreaves Barry Dyer Rooney Keep Gerrard and Lampard out of the team for a while. Will make them more fired up to play for England long term in my opinion.

I'm saying that swapping Shevchenko for Dyer would be a good move for both teams.

A deal in my opinion which could benefit both clubs. Chelsea need a player who can bring some speed and fluidity linking the centre of midfield to both the strikers and the advanced wingers. Dyer is that man, and would be selected just behind Drogba, with Shevchenko making way. Then you get Schevchenko at Newcastle, one of the best strikers in the world, being allowed to play his natural game with support from Martins, Milner, Solano, Duff or N'Zogbia.

What could have happenned if Sven chose to play Dyer up front instead of Vassell vs Brazil in 2002?

I think Simon Jordan said that Shepherd once phoned him when he was trying to hang onto Johnson immediately after Palace's relegation, and told Jordan to stick with his stance of telling the other clubs to fuck off.

I have heard rumours in the past that Shepherd makes agreements with rivals not to bid above certain prices, but that he once apparently broke this promise when we tried to sign Rooney.

I hope this is true. I hope this is not true. Would rather Martins got banned for the rest of the season than have a sick mother (unless it's a cold of course).

In the end of the day, Shearer has won the Premiership and holds the record for the most Premier League goals. He is well in his right to criticise any player he likes, its not as if it is some small time player like Gavin Peacock who has been laying on the criticism.

Some of you really do not appreciate the full value of Stephen Carr's role at the club. He keeps Terry Mac happy by laughing at his jokes.

Problem with the stats though thinking about is that due to numerous simulataneous injuries, they cant prove whether it is down to that individual player being missing, or whether another player being on the pitch is bringing their win-ratio down. Offers more proof for who should play than who shouldn't play in my opinion.

Good work, must have taken a lot of effort. Celestine Babayaro 10 - 50% - 10% - 40% This backs up my claim that we play better with Baba in my team. He has his faults, but we are better going forward when he is on the pitch.

Were you at the match you mong. If you weren't you have no relevent opinion. I was at the match and he was fucking shite[/gemmill]

Worth pointing out that the 'Nobby Solano' chants were aimed at Nobby Solano who was warming up right in front of Putney, and not necessarily as a chant to get him onto the pitch as others have suggested, although there may have been a dual-purpose.

Bramble at less than £4m would be a dream for any decent man-manager who likes to discipline his players.

Usual Newcastle United defensive arrangement there, Bramble was the charger, Onyewu was the sweeper.

Carr was at left back. Knowing about someone's aerial prowess isn't enough to prevent it.

It wasn't a great goal for the television, just one of the best goals I've seen in the flesh, with Martins showing an excellent mix of pace, strength and composure.
