Joey's got a huge chip on his shoulder and will be a major asset whenever we go up against any of the Top 6™ sides.

...Steven Taylor, Peter Ramage, David Edgar, Nolberto Solano... Nobby was areet at RB to be fair, doesn't belong in the same group as Edgar and Ramage. Too true. After all that crap, Nobby looked quite good.

Surely, Modric has to go now. Given the shit Barton is getting for his comments, it'd follow that the mere presence of Modric in the locker room would be far too disruptive for the Spurs management to bear. I hate the Big Four-or-bust mentality many players have, but Modric staying isn't going to change anything about the state of the game. If he leaves, that's a major blow to Spurs. Good. I'll still feel disgusted about the way things are, but it'll go down a little easier knowing Tottenham's fans have been given the kiss off by one of their idols. Chelsea are out of our league-- and will be for some time. Tottenham... without Modric... plus some more decent signings on our part---the Carroll money spent on a striker, and suddenly challenging Spurs for a Euro Cup spot isn't that unrealistic. Deluded? Fine, I'm OK with that.

Interesting times. Don't really rate Best and I'd be greatly disappointed if the club were to go into the season with the current strike force, but I don't feel good about this. (I just know in my bones that Ba is going to sit out half the season with some injury.) If the club is actually going to spend the Carroll money, then sure, sell and upgrade. I have my doubts.

Well, it's a nice start.

Guadeloupe is a member of Concacaf; they are not a member of FIFA, (Martinique, French Guiana are the same; pretty sure French possessions in the Pacific have the same status with the OFC) Also, imagine a Suriname side of Dutch players.

Just as long as it's not fucking Liverpool.

Pardy, dude!

I swear that one week he said something about Carroll making our wingers look good. And then, maybe two weeks later (after Carroll had fucked off to Liverpool) he was on about how Liverpool needed someone who could cross the ball and that they would do well to sign Barton.

Guardian has a feature today about Europe's to 50 transfer targets. Arsenal, Everton, Liverpool and Manchester City are listed as the clubs who might be interested in Gervinho, but not NUFC. Also, of the 50 targets Manchested United are apparently interested in more than half. Can't believe I clicked through the whole thing.

Someone needs to explain to Michael that he was the captain of that poor team he is complaining about. One might also mention that his lack of leadership was one of the primary reasons that a team too talented to go down, did go down. Howay Kevin Nolan.

I love it when we're deluded. Sure beats the cynicism.

Not to mention that we've seen Fulham and Boro in European Cup finals. Mediocre Prem clubs in finals. Means nothing that they didn't win. Just an extraordinary Barca team making everything else look very poor.

Pat him on the back and tell him so.

Nah, he's probably sitting back expecting Messi to approach him. Nah, it'll be Owen's idea of a class gesture. Walk up to Messi, hand him his shirt and say "Here mate, you deserve this." too true

Nah, he's probably sitting back expecting Messi to approach him.

Park showed up. About it. Score line flatters MU

Supporting the English side in Europe. Sorry. A bit like supporting the mackems because they're playing down south This. Want to see "United" crash and burn.

Years ago I met this Liverpool fan who named his son "Owen" after Michael. At times like this I like to think about that guy.

Voted with my heart: Blackburn and Birmingham. Anybody but Blackpool actually.

Us at the Lane. Strangest thing. I'll be rooting for Spurs back-to-back weekends.

Love to see Fulham win by four today.

Enrique and Colo were fantastic. Still can't get over Chelsea's substitutions.
