Taylor Swift

The quips made in this thread Good read. This is going to be an exciting 12 hours.

Think it's pronounced as Sisko. Think of Cesc. The names respectively come from Francisco and Francesc, so the X should not be the typical 'sh' sound that you get in names like Xavi and Xabi.

I've heard a few 'dodgy' chants here and there, but generally, if you look at who's saying them and why they're saying them, you'll see it's only when we're playing uber-shit and the people saying these things can barely stand up straight. That's not a decent excuse, if it even is an excuse at all, but it's not the outright hatred-style racism that can divide societies/countries.

His FM stats Glad someone's posted them. Requisite for any signing we make now.

I imagine he posted a youtube clip. He's going straight to hell now.

Goal difference. Duh

Gonzalez, Saviola and Lennon. Them and hopefully one more and it'll have been a great transfer window. It better happen!

Pep Guardiola was a class player. Really liked him and his style, but I never knew he had 'Shearer' status at Barca. First managerial gig and it's at Barca with the expectations still as high as ever.

Why? It's a good league. Good football, good players, entertainment.

He looks as slow as Butt Edit: Hoping it's a Riquelme-type slow i.e. someone who pops up in the right places and can keep hold of possession without needing extraordinary speed.

What's going on with Zayatte? Thought he was supposed to be signed by another Premiership club by now?

FT. 0-0. Villa shaded it but both teams were pretty average.

Keane misses a 1 on 1 under pressure.

Milner coming on for Luke Young. Coker must be shifting to rb.

The Villa fans have been loud today. Good to see the passion's still there in some stadiums.

And 2007. You're too easy man.

I've said that about all the teams I support for over a decade. Shut up, man. You had 4 in 5 years at one point, so it's your turn to go 80 something years without winning one. Ok, so that's only one team, but yeah, whatever.

Liverpool have been shite so far. Great play from Villa just now. Ashley Young's slipped in by Barry but Reina saves from Carew.

Young Frenchie comes on for Torres.

Keane's playing on the left wing, btw. Rafa's nuts.

'Good play by Coker' - David Pleat. mackems.gif

SWP, 2-0.

It's a move that relieves pressure from them but I don't like the fact that we seem to be doing business through the press.

Someone should change the thread title to reflect the fact that this news is official.

I don't imagine Robinho will be able to fill that role. He's not that good.
