Nobody

Fuck off.

"Smithy and Joey Barton will be back in training next week and they could be back in two to three weeks, which would be another boost for us. Smithy is out jogging now but he’s getting a bit closer now." Finally, will be like a new signing.

Terrific

Because he's a big time Charlie who'll go missing when the going gets tough? Aye, he was non-existant against the Dutch in Euro 08 wasnt he? But do the Dutch play like Stoke, Bolton, Wigan? No but they employed rough tactics to try and keep him quiet. I dont think Arshavins quality is in doubt, he merely made the mistake of saying every team was his dream move. I'm sceptical how Nasri, Arshavin, Rosicky can work. Too similar! Nasri is more of a winger and Rosicky is very injury prone. I would say Arshavin is a winger. In fact i think Nasri and Arshavin are very similar indeed Then you'd be wrong. Arshavin is a second striker, or an attacking midfielder. He's at his best when he's got a free role in the hole between the midfield and strikers. You mean the same role Nasri used to inhabit for Marseille ? aye that'll be the one. Don't watch French football, but I was commenting on Arshavin being a winger. Maybe I should have bolded that bit though.

Terrible news this

I think he will be, unfortunately.

Rather play him in the middle, best of both worlds that way. That would mean we'd have to play Duff though

I'd rather play Jonas on the left and Geremi on the right than play either N'Zogbia or Duff tbh. Geremi is very good at finding Owens head, which compensates for his lack of everything else in his game.

Blue.

This.

Saw some statistics for a game earlier this season, showing distance covered by all players. Most players who play 90 minutes cover around 10000 metres, give or take a thousand or two depending on position and the player. Berbatov covered 4500 during those 90 minutes.

He's still class though. Some of touches are absolutely fucking brilliant. Would boil my piss to see a player just walking around like he does if he was in my team, but his flick-ons are an absolute joy to watch, tbh.

Wasn't a dive, but wasn't a penalty.

Spot on. I'm not believing a word he's saying, whether its positive or negative.

Stoke, Blackburn, West Brom. Pompey to finish 17th.

im not sick of the club at all, though i could do with a break from all the off-field turbulence. Im sick of reading board debates and posts about where the club is going. I would love it if we for a couple of months would just be able to focus on the football.

Yep.

He's off now then

That's more like it! thought bandy would be more your style Now why would you say that? just found out what it was the other week. bet on a game out of boredom.......then had to wiki it to find out what it was......and i won the bet. it's a very scandinavian game It's a shite sport though, like a terrible combination of hockey and football.

That's more like it! thought bandy would be more your style Now why would you say that?

That's more like it!

Definitely not, unless it was for absolute crazy money.

Against Arsenal on November 8. f***ing hell Am I right thinking that we were the last team to get a point from Old Trafford in the league? aye edit....err sorry towelie, didn't realise it was you mate...aye we gained that point around about the time you were stalking some poor young unobtainable girl who had to flee to spain to escape your drool Thanks
