Make the Owen deal less likely?

Espanyol?

Hmmm wonder which one that might be? Can't watch.

Worst fears realized. Mexico beats Brazil. And we'll probably get drubbed by Argentina. damn.

Sorry, my bad. Thought he was still the first choice.

Not their first choice keeper either. Sanchez is over.

mackems.gif No, it is not their A squad. Forgot Borgetti as well.

Mexico always seem to play to the level of their competition. Losing to Honduras, squeaking by Guadelope and Cuba. Played better against the US, but lost. Also, Mexico is missing key players as well. Not their A squad either.

Ate the US alive over the weekend. Tremendous player.

shit shit shit shit

Running home from work to watch this one. (California time) Mexico is in total disarray. mackems.gif Think this will be one to relish.

Congrats on the win. That and the draw in the other game put you guys in a really strong position. Sorry, for my ignorance but I assumed that Uruguay were the favorites in the group. Is that correct?

Isn't Lahm from Munich? Not that is all that possible any way.

Probably true. I'd like to see an attempt. I'd think that there are a lot of top-notch defenders who would like to play in England-- a bigger stage than France or Germany for example. And higher salaries. Besides, there are only so many positions available at Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool, and Arsenal.

We've got £50m and Allardyce keeps bringing in free transfers. Doesn't sound right to me. And I don't imagine Geremi is coming to warm our bench. Personally, I'd like to see that money spent on top notch defenders. EDIT: I am not saving he's not a good addition. Just that we've signed someone who is not good enough for Chelsea (which we've done before) and if we have £50m available, we should try to buy someone who would start for any club in the world.

You're smoking crack. I am sure we have both seen Bocanegra play many times and I think he is a liability of Steven Carr proportions whenever he gets the ball. The only thing that edges Carlos out over Carr is that he has more pace (but then again who doesn't). Bocanegra is properly a center back. If you watched the final against Mexico over the weekend you saw a player who was not a liability at all, but the MOTM. He saved the US's ass on several occasions-- mistakes made by liabilities named "Gooch" Onyewu and Jonathan Spector. Without Bocanegra, the US loses that final. Edit: Also, cracked me up. The Guardian had a piece pointing out that Bocanegra had more goals last season than Shevchenko. Without the ref bottling a call in the game against us (Canada), you'd might not have made the final. Funny it was the same c*** that f***** us in WC qualifying. Yes, and it was our old friend-- and liability-- "Gooch" who headed the ball back and put Hutchinson onside. You've got every right to feel aggrieved.

Do we blame you when the club goes down?

You're smoking crack.

Beautiful.

The crux of the matter really. If Martins and Owen stay, that £50M could go a very long way. Replace the entire backline and the subs bench-- Taylor excepted.

The 50 years of hurt are finally over!!!!
