but but but but but but.... ....but the Internet Showreel!!!!! He looks ace in that. Good enough for some no-mark from New Zealand or somewhere to lie about watching La Liga since they were a foetus, just to pretend he was amazing. Who exactly are these 'fanboys' who base their support of Luque entirely on a compilation clip? Which actually, although much maligned, is a good reflection of what Luque produced in Spain. Or do you think the club formed their £9m opinion of him on the 'Internet Showreel!!!!!' too? Well, we based an opinion of our loanee defender on "having him watched a couple of times" and him looking like a good fella. The showreel proves fuck all. You could even make Shola look Premiership quality if you tried. Luque was a desperation move, nothing more. As for the fanboys - look at the Luque post. Suddenly, there are fucking loads of La Liga stalwarts. Incredible, that. I agree he was a desperate signing, but are you denying he was ever a good player in Spain now?

Definetely an opportunity missed. If only he had taken being played in the reserves on the chin, scored two spectacular goals and won us the game - Roeder would have been bound to give him chance then! Would he f***, thank god. But at least he would have given his fanboys ONE piece of evidence that he wasn't a complete and utter shithouse. I believe it was irony on part of the Liverpool game. Sorry? I was referring to the reserve game against Liverpool, when Luque did score two goals.

Lehman is hilarious. I'd add Robben to the list.

It's a clear 'No' based on his ability as a defender alone.

It's hardly ridiculous to call Ronaldo the best player in the world, care to name me 5 players currently peforming better than him?

World class goal, imagine the reaction if that had been Fabregas & Henry.

It was a cleverly executed freekick, but Robinson's attempt to save it... :lol: Shame to see him booked for the celebration.

Really well-taken goal, nice set up by Tevez too.

Upson off injured after 10 minutes...

Frank Lampard.. 2nd best player in the world? He's not even the 2nd best central midfielder at Chelsea.

Given 6 - Nothing to do. Taylor 6 Bramble 7 - Solid again. Onyewu 5 - Bramble-esque. Solano 6 Milner 5 - Incredibly wasteful. Parker 6 Butt 7 - Best of a mediocre bunch. N'Zogbia 6 - Decent comeback, didn't look as confident on the ball as he normally does, though. Dyer 6 - Involved in most of our attacks, tirelessly ran down every ball. Martins 5 - Displayed a poor first touch & lack of composure today.

That's the title race over, would have loved to have seen Mourinho's face when that one went in.

Who? Bellamy? Carragher & Ferguson arguing in the tunnel at half-time. I think it's be quite entertaining so far, can see it ending 2-1 Man Utd.

Apology accepted, just don't do it again.

It never fails to amuse me the amount people who feel the need to let everybody else know that they don't care about something.

Next season i'd love to see Butt & Emre sitting in the middle with Dyer, N'Zogbia, Martins & Owen going forward. All interchanging roles and switching sides throughout, that quartet would be enough to terrorize any defence. It would be extremely harsh on Milner, and Roeder is probaly incapable of dropping Parker & Duff, but it'd be our most effective attack.

Really? Given Taylor Bramble Onyewu Carr Solano Parker Butt Duff Martins Dyer We can expect that, then

West Ham

So, if the FA Cup Final is contested between two teams in the top 6, does 7th place become an automatic Uefa Cup spot? And then 8th for the intertoto?

Can't imagine why anyone would think Zog is our best midfielder right now. He's had one good season and has potential but that's it. I WAS referrign to the Zog, yes. He may not have reached his full potential yet, but he has still shown that he has more than any of the others. For me, anyway. He 'potentially' has more than the others. Last season he was good, this season he's been shite. If that qualifies him as our best midfielder we are in more trouble than I thought. Who do you think is our best midfielder, out of interest?

Good point. I'm not sure Watford, Plymouth, Middlesbrough, Man City or Blackburn will even get close to Man Utd or Chelsea in a major final, though. There wasn't a great deal between West Ham and Liverpool all season last year.

So, unless Chelsea & Man Utd avoid each other yet again in the semis draw, the final will be a non-event.
