The College Dropout

could be bad news for us though. and i don't mean they'll be after harper! They won't bid for Shay. They've got Foster.

Newcastle finish in mid-table mediocrity. Manure will choke. Chelsea will win the league double. Liverpool will in the CL. Spurs will win the Uefa Cup. Sunderland get promoted. West Ham stay up. Terrible end to the season ahead.

I can just see it, come the end of the season. West Ham beat Manure at Old Trafford, staying up and and condeming the world to Mourinho/Terry/Lampard smug faces for the 3rd year in a row.

No. It really wouldn't. I can't see how any "neutral" would want Chelsea to continue their dominance over English football.

His success with Porto was phenomenal. It's hard to say two European cup wins where flukey.....although they werefortunate to beat Celtic & Man United. the Porto squad he built were very good. i'd agree that at Chelsea all he seems to have done is give them jammy bastardism.

Fucking Arsenal man....I knew this would happen...what a load of bent footed bastards.

5-1 at home......

Mark Hughes

Never a penalty........................feels great doesn't it?

Ronaldo's crying always makes me smile!!!

Imagine the open top bus ride through the streets of Liverpool again. Or Manchester or London......what makes it worse is that i can see Spurs beating Seville.

Sadly I feel the CL is coming to England. I fancy L'Pool and Chelski in particular to beat the other teams. In midfield L'Pool are too strong and Chelski the jammiest bastards ever.

Not ALL of us have. Among the HTT inspired Hitzfeld furore nobody seemed to want to touch Big Sam with a bargepole when Souness got the chop.

We've all changed our tunes....

We got a higher transfer fee but i'd suspect Parker is paid a fair bit more than Jenas. Jenas also usually played well against the better sides and never really looked out of his depth in Europe. Like I said, he's been in a regular in a team that has finished in the top 6 four times (counting this), he's a reliable performer much like Parker when deployed correctly. Jenas=Parker imo, very similar in quality.

Assuming they lose to Chelski they've got to draw 2 games from 6. I reckon they'll slip up atleast once and I've got money riding on Chelski too sneak it although I'd much prefer ManUre to win. They play better football, their manager isn't a petulant child and most importantly I can't see them putting a stranglehold on the title for the next 5 years unlike Chelski.

Perfect timing. Tbh he isn't that bad a player, the Souness season aside he's been a regular in teams that have finished in the top 5. Still seems like a poser though. Remember when we first signed Parker and people where saying how much better he was than Jenas? Do people still think that? Too me they are simiraly average with Parker having more fighting spirit and Jenas pace/positioning.

Possibly 2 games away from the sack imo. The gates are falling and won't be improved until a morale boost i.e. new manager (Shearer) or another trophy signing.

More likely to better Souness' worst i.e. finishing 15th or below.

Oh Dear!

Good but very Over-rated.

You sir have terrible taste in fashion. The home kit is HIGHLY ugly.

lol greatest gimmick poster EVER

It's the Souness era "big name" signings coupled with the other over priced midfield we have will hold us back Parker,Dyer,Emre,Duff,Owen,Luque and Butt are all probably earning in excess of 40k. I feel we'll need to go back to the SBR policy of paying fairly high transfer fees and low wages for young talent. Jermaine Jenas and Scott Parker are players of similar quality but I suspect that Parker could be on twice the wages as Jenas.

Superhuman? Who is the one who is over-rated? I don't want to get into the pointless world class debate again, but if you sincerely believe (and it seems like you do) that Shay is a liability, you're either blind or overly cynical. For your sake, I hope it's the latter. Liability, no. He's a a good goalkeeper. Is he over-rated by our fans? Very
