It's on the news now! Three clubs raided.

Oh my!

Total rip off!

Exactly, he's probably known more for being "Mr Posh" over there. If Pele and Beckenbaur couldn't get football established there Beckham never will, they were vastly more gifted footballers than he ever was. Don't forget Best, all players with more to their game and dazzling skill to go with it. What's Beckham going to do, his long crosses and the odd free kick? Will take more than that to get them interested, and then keep them interested. It's all celebrity from here on in, the football matters not a jot. Today's Independent article on the farce that is... http://sport.independent.co.uk/football/news/article2765502.ece

There's a hell of a lot more people than 30,000 in the US, David. That's also an initial game, wait for the forced fan fare to die down before you can measure anything. Seriously, this is what I've heard. He doesn't register anywhere near the top in various "polls" on popularity. He's got more of an uphill battle than our media would have us believe. Why do you think they're doing reality TV etc? Cause they've been advised to, well, they're probably that sad enough too, mind you. He'll flop, in terms of what he says he wants to achieve, but he'll live a happy life smiling in front of all the cameras and hanging around with famous people.

He'll flop, like all the rest. No-one's really arsed about him over there, from what I've heard.

I've let it grow, you should see it now!

That's to do with the theme we use, not the server. Unfortunately it's not compatible with this theme. >

He already has, around June 20th he said he wanted to stay here ans was veryn happy at the club. Why do people believe him then? A man with a record of lying.

Locked. Fucking farce, from the pair of you.

ITV good enough for you, Vic? http://www.itv-football.co.uk/Story/0,14272,6326_2490708,00.html

Yes. Good news, couldn't give a shit if it was money, which it isn't. The money wasn't enough, as he would have happily left, apparently, if someone came in. It's the new methods and all the rest that's kept him here.

Have I missed the part where people have said they'd finish below Boro in the league but be happy overall if they won the Carling Cup? *can't be arsed to read the thread* Agree with the rest of what you say though, Shak.

me arse, winning the carling cup but finishing below the boro, I would stab my own eyes out any cunt that would be happy with that wants euthenasia tbh Who said ANYTHING about finishing below them? Admittedly, I haven't followed this thread, but it wasn't the point you made. You know, for once, I actually thought you were going to reply "fair enough", but nah.

It's not about being proud, it's about setting a realistic target for the season. Which would also give the club and its supporters a massive boost and end the drought.

Dont use it, Federer says it's wrong and I, for one, believe him.

Done.

What a sad article that is.

It's like the Carrick deal with Man U, they're paying to get a player they want, the price comes second. Jol obviously believes Bent is the future worth investing in.

If only talent and skill was what you based a price on, then no, but there's a multitude of other factors that need to be considered. One being a club's unwillingness to sell. Pointless debate, as it's clear as day he's not.
