No fucker else can afford the ridiculous wages they're on.

Exactamundo. If you're sitting lower down in the stand space will be at a premium on the bottom concourses and that n all, can't speak for upstairs.

same as last season although both will be harder games.

Tomorrow is liable to busy but normally is about a 5 mins queue to get in. In theory there is no point us having swipe cards as there is still someone who has to operate the turnstyle.

What about Garrido he's a leftback isn't he? Aye buts he's shit as is Ball as is Ben Haim when he plays there.

Corluka and Onuoha are RB's primarily. Would have a decent defence if they had anyone remotely capable of playing LB.

Not bad for a team with no money.

Aye, saves me a fair bit of £££ travelling up and down from Leeds for the matches. Can also get them in any station with a manned ticket office should you not want to do it online.

Makes a change from Van Nistelrooy to them I guess.

good good, less chance of him getting injured/missing games from travelling

Is it just the group winners that qualify or is it top 2/playoffs for second? Apart from the Croats, the group is fairly weak compared to others although there'll be a couple of tricky away games.

Still sticking by my: @ his agent though. Makes Willie Mackay look good.

Aye getting paid a boat load to play for your hometown team in the Champions League & be abored by the St. Petersburg public is really going to grate on him.

Arsene Wenger is becoming a strange mover in the transfer market like. Still can't believe you haven't replaced Flamini/Gilberto.

Quite impressed that pick your seat thing. Not seen it before

joint third top scorer behind Gomis and Niang IIRC

Would be a good signing for Sunderland if they pull it off. His pace would be a huge asset for them, and he would form a pretty athletic and speedy partnership with Jones when he returns. Interesting. Mightn't be the most reliable but will score goals for them as he has done everywhere and him and Jones would certainly be a handful

Cynical but probably true. Is a good idea I reckon.

or pick a few up like i did last time we had this

hardly his fault he's injured like.

Mackems after Silvestre for £750k according the BBC gossip/Mail

Don't see the issue in that article to be fair.

We don't need another striker? I think we do, and the type of striker is irrelevant in my eyes. If we can sign someone of Saviolas quality on loan for the season, in order to bolster the ranks and send Smith further down the pecking order, then i don't see the problem. The fact that it may be on loan tells us that it probably isn't long term. I didn't say we didn't need a striker I just don't believe we need another short,quick player. We have Martins, Owen, Duff for that role whereas as a focal point we only have Viduka, Smith, Carroll of which the first is not reliable to be fit and the second two are not upto standard therefore the priority would be to bring in a target man esque striker IMO. Plus this is a guy who hasn't had a regular run of starts for 2 seasons.

Don't get why we are in for him, if indeed we are, we need players in every position more, except goalkeeper, than a nippy forward.

Nice one, good read.
