The College Dropout

Sib did far better for us than anyone could have expected. Top bloke, average footballer. Aye. He wasn't all that shit. Smith or Sib???

It's also easy when you're shit. Turn up, sit in silence, boo when we concede, go home. Piece of piss really.

Easy like isn't it Scholes only did it once Vs Bradford. Has Rooney done it ever? And I'm sure Scholes did it more than once. How old is Rooney? How old is Scholes? 20 something and 30 something. Where's my Blue Peter badge?

The fuck has happened to Dowie's voice. Sounds like a paedofile.

Aye. I thought stuttered run-ups were banned.

Ferdinand is the best defender in the country. A little under-rated by Premiership and England fans. A better defender than JT, King and Woodgate with ease.

:lol @ Wayne Rooney being in a Europe best XI.

Pwned.

he's played there few times in his career. Nothing unusual for him. Kanu & Mikel versus Toure & Zokora One player seems hideously out of place. cue... Tottenham "big club" punchline.

Berti still living off Euro 96

Unfortunately for us, Nigeria's individual strength should see them get out of their group.

Kanu in midfield lol. almost as funny as having Dwight Yorke be your anchorman.

lol 7 semi-finals and only 1 win.

Wenger doesn't need to hide his hand because it's miles better than Kev's.

Aye, when I wrote that I paused for a long time when I said good player. He has some attributes to be a good player and can go a few games looking very impressive with only slight mistakes then BAM!! he'll practically give away a goal and he'll do it 6-7 times a season. Add some fresh air kicks and a vacant look on your face and then you have Mr. Titus A. Bramble

Yep, hes exactly what we need and.....(*whispers - a geordie too?*) the man utd fans are crying already http://www.redcafe.net/f9/carrick-line-18m-toon-return-183457/ I love the modesty "he is a regular in the best team in the world"... Man U are very very good but I think AC Milan may have something to say about it all Aren't they 8th or so in their league?

Some of the other bits of defending seemed pretty decent but its Titus all over isnt it - he cancels it all out with one absolute howler that results in a goal Aye. He's a good player who makes very frequent suicide attempts.

That sounds gay... Bentley has a good turn of pace, has a few tricks but he doesn't need to beat his man, he can put in a good cross instead.

Great strike.

I can remember people saying Shearer was finished when he went through a bad patch, his legs have gone.... The whole Owen thing is very similar or as a bangkok whore would say "Same, same but different!" But Shearer didn't have constant "niggles" throughout his entire career" and due to his strength had a lot more to offer than Owen. Aye. Shearer had 1 big injury. Owen's had 1 big injury and DOZENS of little ones. Never scored more than 19 Premiership goals? That's because of injuries.

But boy, can he run fast!!! And the jazz hands!!!

mounts of money. berbatov's movement is excellent tho, always buzzing about, drifting wide and making mazy dribbles in and around the area. this helps him brings others into the game far more than viduka can nowadays. with berbatov it's "i'm going to bring the ball to you" with viduka it's "you're gonna have to come over here to get the ball". fitter and scores more too, and while viduka-owen never really looks like a good partnership i'm pretty sure berbatov would be an excellent partner for owen or martins. No doubt I'd rather have Berbatov, Vids is getting on. He's still total class though and just calling him "lazy" is bloody stupid imo. Same people who slag him off will slag off Smith for being s****. You can't have it both ways without paying incredible amounts of money. aye, don't think he is that lazy really just doesn't have a lot in his legs. i'd rather have class over attitude any day. The top teams have both. None of the main players in the top 4 have players as laid back as Berbatov and i'm sure Alex would whoop that shit out of him.

I don't consider Carrick a DM at all. Until season he's been very light in the tackle. If anything he's a deep lying play maker, similar to Pirlo. And he hasn't struggled for form either, he's kept Hargreaves out the time (when he's been fit) and has formed a good partnership with Anderson. He's more suited to a better team (if that make sense) than being at Spurs. Against the top sides he always played well but many a time he looked no better than Jenas, that's because games seemed to fly by him. Spurs finished 5th again when he left and they only battled for a place in the top 4 the previous season because of a young Arsenal side faltering. Now Mascherano, that's a muthaphuggin defensive midfielder. Wouldn't come here like but he's quickish, strong in the tackle, good positioning to break up attacks and his passing is very under-rated. He keeps possession tremendously without relying on the Jenas pass.

Zidane coming back from retirement?

Bridge? Why? Enrique looks solid. And has a decent turn of pace and has pretty good passing.
