I know it's probaly bad news for us, but i love seeing Wenger beat Mourinho.

Arsenal are playing well... so you can probaly expect Chelsea to win 1-0 with a defelcted freekick from Lampard.

It may have been, in that he's probably done 3 or 4 interviews to various different channels. Regardless, it was the truth. You could tell he'd been longing for the opportunity to say it, though. I just can't stand managers like Pearce, full of clichés, always wanting to say the right thing, and come across as well as they possibly can.. regardless of wether what they're coming out with actually ties in with what they really believe.

It came across as very rehearsed to me.

slightly confused - surely Roeder has done better for us than Hughes has for B'Burn - or do you just have an agenda you're set on following? Blaming Roeder for winning! We won 3-1, moved up the table a bit more, above Blackburn and yet you still moan Hold on, we were 2-0 up against 10 men at half-time and we end up being under pressure the entire second half, with Blackburn pushing for an equaliser.. and Roeder is supposed to be praised for his performance? I've always thought we wouldn't be involved in a relegation fight long-term, if only for the strength of our individuals, but Roeder remains one of the weakest managers in the league, in my mind.

I agree with Jonny, would much rather have Hughes here. Again, we pick up 3 points depsite of Roeder rather than because of him.

It is just for a charity game to celebrate the anniversary of the Treaty of Rome or something.

I agree with Coppell. Putana is derogatory term for a woman Italian origin, apparently Putano is the male version.

Actually, you're right, we shouldn't give him the slightest chance to increase his value before the transfer window opens - especially as we have two players performing so well in his position. I suppose you think Luque doesn't 'deserve' a start, as if it's some kind of punishment to pay him £50k a week without having to kick a ball.. Oh well, another £9m down the drain, eh?

Luque. Duff & N'Zogbia have both had runs in the side and looked relatively poor, i think he deserves the same.

Lyon. Although, pre-season i thought Chelsea would win the Champions League and lose The Premiership, i can still see that happening.

Unfortunately, under Roeder, Parker will come straight back into the side when he is fit.

We won't get anywhere near the top 6 with Roeder incharge.

I would seriously question Roeder's mental health if he drops Solano for Carr.

If you think it's necessary, fair enough. I actually thought the General Football forum was a better idea, cut out people having a fit everytime something about another club was discussed.

No. Not particularly necessary and the main forum becomes quite dead.

Sheff Utd 1-1 Charlton

Jenas gives away another penalty Gilberto scores, 3-0 Arsenal.

:icon_thumleft: I Hope Arsenal make it embarrassing.

He's a central midfielder.

Ashton would be expensive for 11m, nevermind that waste of space.

Because I was mainly concentrating on the quoted section of what you posted? I said it was good news due to the second half of the sentence, so you either had trouble finishing it or decided to leave it out to add weight to your point? Obviously, i would prefer Parker to be fit and provide cover for midfield. However, Roeder simply won't drop him (no matter how well Emre and Butt play), so ultimately it's good for the team if he's unavailable for selection. But I've already noted that above - it's Roeder's problem, he needs to sort it out. But as i've already said, i think he's incapable of doing so... we'll find out soon enough.
