What's going on with Bentley's hair? Ridiculous. You're playing football, you tit.

That'd be ace. Not as good as Enrique and will probably cost as much. Rather Enrique continue getting some games because he'll end up being viewed as one of the best LBs come the end of the season.

Love watching Arsenal play. Beautiful, dominating stuff right now.

No one picked Nasri then.

Nasri. 1-0. Arsenal are good, ha.

in recent years he seems to have been deployed in a deeper role, certainly. Most successful when he was playing as an out-and-out striker, though. His style is similar to Owen's pre-injury and pre-loss-of-pace. Very quick and can finish, but otherwise doesn't contribute much more. The past couple of seasons he hasn't played much so he's a risk but a loan deal would be nice.

What do you mean 'good luck everyone'? I hope you all fail so that I can win. Muahaha.

Torres is way too expensive at 12m. Same with Ronaldo, who's due for a regression this season, at 14m.

GK: Cech DF: Bosingwa, Laursen, Vidic and Clichy MF: Bentley, A Young, Gutierrez and Petrov ST: Bent and Defoe Subs: Schwarzer, Meite, Downing and Martins Ain't a bad team, I think. No 'stars' though so if a cunt like Ronaldo is unstoppable again this season, then my team's fucked. If, however, there's a better spread of points, then my team will be awesome.

Hope not, Zog at left back, Milner right wing, Duff left wing. That what you're hoping for or what the bibs would indicate? Cos if N'Zogbia plays full back at Old Trafford then we'll get bummed. Had that magical Maradona-ish run in the 6-0 game last season. I would have taken 6-1 before the game if I knew Zoggy would have scored (ok, not really). Goal of the f'in decade.

Parky?

Bad memories. He actually had a decent game in that one. It was also the first time Boumsong totally crumbled.

Too slow, can't play on the shoulder of the last defender, misses easy chances, and can't match up with one of our other strikers. He's not the main striker in a 4-4-2, and if KK thinks he is, then we're fucked.

Shite. Forgot it was an early game. And I thought my Yakubu pick was sexy

i can't believe i'm hearing this, you want sunderland to win I'm not Geordie, innit?

Dave, tit <Snip. Sorry.> I'll go for Yakubu.

It's back Fancy Liverpool to slip up at Sunderland. They've had a great transfer window and will start the season feeling good. Liverpool were shit against Standard and here's hoping it continues.

Can people not shorten Gutierrez into Guti? Everytime I see a post that says '...and for Guti', I'm thinking 'holy fucking shit, have we signed Guti?!' and that leads to the inevitable moment where I find out that that is just not true.

When have these press conferences ever been interesting?

Why would Levy want add-ons when he could get all the money up front? Makes no sense.

Enrique > Warnock.

Nicko's said that this is bs. Make of that what you will.

It's good that we have intelligent people running the club. They know when to speak, when not to, and they know that they don't need to pander to the media and let the mediots dictate what actions the club should take. They've stood their ground on many issues now: keeping their silence regarding all the managerial speculation, keeping Barton, supporting KK.. this is the way things should be. Although I hear Parky's argument in that, in the end, we will need the help of the media to help create a brand, but, for now, we're not even near that stage and I'd rather that we stick to our guns. The average joe will realise, sooner or later, that the press are printing shit and that'll be when they cave in and write objective stuff.
