  1. I agree with what your saying mostly but City are in Europe this season. I think L'pool must be sold & Wenger will start to spend because the likes of City & Spurs will really be looking to close them down. Unless we develop some of our lads in to the next Vieira & Henry or we get taken over by some multi-billionnaire we will never be able to keep up with City & Spurs in the long term. Spurs & to a lesser extenrt City will be unpredictable this year but eventually unless something major happens they will cement themselves firmly above if they haven't already.
  2. Arsenal haven't won anything these last 4 or so years either. In the next few years Arsene is going to have to start spending big or else they'll fall right behind.
  3. Sol was in his pomp, rumours that he was going to Barca. He could probably get that £6-7m from City anyway, they are "ballin".
  4. Before the Chelsea game kicked off, he was talking from Villa Park and said "I played with Robbie Keane at Liverpool". Oh dear Jamie. He said Tottenham didn't he? I would swear he said Liverpool because I remember shouting at him straight away and noticing that my missus didnt give a f*** at what I was saying You know what he meant. You were just looking for an excuse to berate him. It's because he played for L'Pool and Spurs, i'm sick of your biased twaddle.
  5. It was indeed, as was some of his ball carrying runs. He's a very tidy player, very good close control and body strength too. However he like Jonas needs to make better use of those attributes in getting forward more to support and to take some chances when presented. He needs to do more in short where it matters most, further up the field. Does he have the athleticism to get up and down, across and over? I'm not so sure myself. If he could just add that to his game though he'd be dynamite. He'll never have the athleticism of Gerrard or even Jenas but if he could get a bit more physically fit as in stamina/engine he might be able to do that. We where always going to be overrun with Butt going up against Fab/Denilson as Guthrie is hardly blessed in this department. i thoght we should've perhaps atrted with 5 in midfield.. dare I say Smith's energy may have been useful today. Shola hasn't played a prolonged amount of Premiership football in years and was more woeful I thought.
  6. Terry is the best defender in the Premiership, but because of the club he plays for and where he's from, as well as some poor international performances, he's underrated. Rio is class but is someone I wouldnt want up against an intelligent, skillful forward. Fact is both of them aren't as good as they've been made out to be in the past (Terry) & present (Ferdinand). I disagree. For the past 3 seasons Ferdinand has been the best defender in the league, when he's been missing in the past its been to a larger detriment to their team than Vidic being missing. Vidic can be rather hot-headed and Ferdinand acts as a calming force. He's had a poor start to the season & now he's "over-rated". Fact is no defender has been as consistent as Ferdinand over the last few years. If he where fit, dare I say England would've qualified for the Euro's. Terry has never looked the player he has for Chelsea with England whilst Ferdinand has usually been one of the few England players to show club form. Terry & Ferdinand should be the perfect partnership. Terry needs someone with pace alongside him & Ferdinand could do with someone who is a bit more rough & tumble alongside him too.
  7. The man will leave at the end of the season.
  8. We'll win or draw this. Mark my words. /knows nobody will mark his words if we lose.
  9. Giggs still has class in his boots. His touch, intelligence and passing are grossly underrated because he used to be an all-out spectacular dribbler, when in fact hes a very good all round footballer. I have a dislike for Nani because I hate the way the c*** snarls after everything that doesnt go his way, so im a bit biased against him, but even beyond that bias I dont think he's that good a player - as a Giggs replacement, hes a step or two down. Andersen looks half the player Scholes is imo. Which is still pretty decent, but he's got a long, long way to go if he's to be in the same class as Scholes. Agree with the Nani talking but in central midfield they are well placed. Got some of those floppy haired dudes coming through to play with Carrick, Anderson & Hargreaves.
  10. All this because of that shit player Milner? You people make me laugh.
  11. That we don't hand out contracts willy-nilly. He's got 3 years left on it hasn't he?
  12. Those stats confirm what most of us already thought. He won't be a huge loss for us. They confirm that stats can be used to prove anything lol Did he not miss most of his games under KK ? He was around for all the defeats and when we dropped him and a few others, changed formation we started winning. 2 assists from a winger is dodgy no matter how you sugar coat it.
  13. A striker is important. 2 out of our 3 good strikers are injury prone...
  14. Sounds like a c*** Could someone please translate that into English for me! This must be old, he says he's 15. He's serious about football, just because he rapped (sang?) on the "wifey riddem" instrumental it doesn't mean he's not serious about footie.. stays away from trouble because he doesn't want to die. He's serious about footie because he's trying to make serious money (pea = pounds), fuck the street life although he may attend a house party/rave (shubz) every now and then though. The rest is pretty much self explanatory. btw was this playing in the background of his page?
  15. To think how much ManU have just spent on Hargreaves. On this kind of form Smith against let's not forget a very combative Bolton at their ground laid down the law early on (he talks a lot as well not totally silent like Parker) and never let go of his zone. Fergy had to let him go, but it looks like a mistake.
  16. I'm glad that it looks like he might provide some real competition to Colo & Taylro.. i thought with Faye gone the first 2 (by that i just mean Taylor) would get overlt comfortable.
  17. We'd do well to finish above them and they need new strikers and a DM or two far more than they do defenders. True but if he keeps using Ekoto and Dawson their really not going to scare anyone are they? Aye Chimbonda's far better than that Ekoto lad and Dawson......
  18. Fabricio: "That was really freaky when you handballed it twice. I've only ever given a penalty away once" Steven: "Aye but Gary Linekar said I deserve an Oscar"
  19. *cringe* I like how Taylor tends to act like he's the leader.. every time Colo does something Taylor slaps him gently in the face, like he's his father or something.. he used to do that to Habib too, but got found out quickly :colo:
  20. Taylor self-congratulatory? Never! I hear Taylor is going to wear a different squad number this week, as he is retiring his old one in honour of his performance. To be fair, it was a good save - that shot was going in! Should have been sent off then shouldn't he? The penalty was for the first hand ball. Then he's just a twat.
  21. lol @ your biggesy goal threat being Jermaine Jenas... who was pretty shit himself...
