2 Goals within 20 seconds of each other, one bringing Real level the other Espanyol. With tonights results Real still on top due to a better head to head. One match left, so yes it is interesting.

Unbelivable! Diarra just had a header if he had kept down could have been the winner. Both matches finish 2-2.

Agreed not what we should be looking at. We need technicaly gifted players not more fast but no end product players ala Kieron Dyer (based on what he's become at Liverpool). Also players returning to former clubs rarely works out. I'll always remember the goal he scored against Feynoord in the CL, thanks for the memories Criag but time to move on.

If they're that desperate to reduce their wage bill lets put in an offer for Van der Vaart.

Keep Martins, sell and replace the rest.

Can't claim to watch much Turkish league football but the few times I've seen Tuncay in europe he's looked decent. Can play across the middle and upfront and would add versatility. With no fee involved not much of a risk, if it doesn't work out we could sell him back to a Turkish club. On a free, why not?

No thanks. Would be expensive and would command a big salary and not the greatest defender.

Them 'boro fans are a bunch of right wankers. I mean when Woodgate joined them (I know he's a smog) we weren't posting things like, "wish he breaks his leg "or I hope he dies in a plane crash". Absolutely no class whatsoever.

A brilliant day for us.

About to kick off now.

What are you insinuating?

SSN say he's just arrived back at SJP after doing U turn on the motorway and is signing now That's just brilliant! If/when this goes through I'm gonna love ramming that fact down the gobs of West 'am fans.

70K? Seems like nothings changed if that fgures right. Same old Newcastle paying too high wages.

SHould actually read it Mick, makes some good points, for a women anyway I agree about that bit though. I agreed with most of it then saw the name at the end of the article. Obviously I have to now disagree on principle. Women writing about football! They'll be commentating about it next.

I don't understand that logic. Whether or not a team is or isn't built around him how does it affect his ability to pass a ball or shoot? It doesn't affect his ability, but it does affect the frequency of how often he is getting a shot in if the tactics are basically built around giving him shooting opportunities rather than something more balanced. Thanks for clarifying. So did he have a free role with no defensive responsibilities at City because the couple of times I did watch your matches this season gone he seemed to get stuck into the defnsive side of things as well?

Scout report by Mac Dermott mind. Couldn't be assed to get a decent scout Recommended by Terry Mac. Sign him up sharpish I say, he knows a good footballer.

Go on NSG, do it.

Think it was a dig tbh. hmm.....I prefer to think they're just thick cunts

They really are thick c***s: From a Poster called Rio about NSG username- "Then tell us why you managed to spell your own username wrong. I'm presuming it was supposed to start with smug."

...yeah but you have to choose. Oh... it's one of those threads. I choose Martins to stay. Over Owen one of the greatest finishers in Engish football ever? Martins:Greater potential to improve as a player, higher resale value, younger, more years left on current contract versus Owen, less injury prone, more explosive player that doesn't need others to put it on a plate for him (see thunderbolt against Spuds).

Why do we need to get rid of one, surely we need options and variety up front?

I'll throw in Luka Modric as a suggestion. Looks good for Croatia the few times I've seen them.
