My childhood friend scored after 2 minutes in his debut for my team here in Sweden

Won't complain about that, but Carroll has done more than enough to warrant a start. Shearer might want to use him as an impact sub though.

Like watching paint dry Nah, that'd be quicker.

This. Fuck you Shay, you should have stayed on for another six months if you wanted to have an opinion on us. I know he was probably asked and didn't bring this up himself, but fuck him anyway.

Carroll for me.

Bassong and Jonas linked very well early on in the season when Bassong was played at LB didn't he? Harper Beye Taylor Colo Bassong Duff Butt Guthrie Jonas Owen Carroll

It's not like Martins hasn't got grief over this.

Too many (and mostly shit) managers in too little time.

The people whinging about this being boring are just as annoying as Adam^ et al.

How long is Lövenkrands out for? Could do with him back for our 4-3-3 Harper Beye Taylor Bassong Taylor Guthrie Butt Jonas Owen Carroll Lövenkrands

Aye, Zlatan with his terrific international record and simply amazing record in the Champions League, definitely one of the worlds best players Never mind that in Inter, they've got their whole team playing for him to score the goals coupled with the fact that the Serie A is wanktastic. You dont have a clue what you are talking about, but still you do it. Why dont you go off and wank to a picture of Henrik Larsson wont you. Care to enlighten me what part of my post was bollocks then?

Think we'll play 4-3-3 with Carrol in Vidukas role from last year. Harper (I almost wrote Given ) Beye Colo Bassong R.Taylor Nolan Butt Jonas Owen Carrol Martins Personally I would have Guthrie over both Nolan and Butt, but that's what I think we'll see.

I love Essien, everything about him is just class. Scolari would still have been manager of Chelsea had he not been injured.

This team, for the same reason. The best team rather than the best players. I'd have Abidal in there instead of Evra, but other than that, no complaints from me. Possibly a bit harsh on Gerrard though, without him Liverpool wouldn't be anywhere near the top of the league IMO.

Well said. Our win and draw ratios are a lot higher when Martins starts than when he doesn't, that's for sure. Do you have these stats? If so I wouldn't mind looking at them. In January or February (can't remember and can't be arsed to look it up again), this season we had 1.5 points per game with Martins in the side compared to 0.5 without him. Obviously you can't put it down to one player though, and that's not looking at which games he actually played.

we've scored more than them though, so dont quite get your point. That's his point though, isn't it? aye, i read it as sunderland CAN put the ball in the back of the net. :-[ So did I the first time, tbh

:lol:

Essien. Not really, but he's second IMO. Messi have been unstoppable this season.

Depends whether you think being arguably the best striker in the world for two seasons is worth £24m.

Quality game at Anfield I never thought I'd say that.

There's got to be a minutes silence for someone, we're at Anfield ffs.

Thank fuck I hadn't booked tickets to go to the Boro game. This is good news for me though, means I'll be able to watch the games.

The best in the world at what he does. Absolutely phenomenal tbh. Wayne Rooney is not the best in the world at anything, and he never will be. Bullshit. His natural understanding of the game is top rate. Although Messi and Ronaldo are the better players, Rooney can do some things better than them. He has a drive and passion to win that exceeds theirs combined. Add that to the wide array of skills in his arsenal, and a powerful right foot, and you have a lethal combination. IMO he really can be one of the greats. Apart from all his other qualities, his ability to anticipate what's about to happen and get into just the right position to receive the ball is quite fantastic.

IMO he really can be one of the greats. To say Rooney can do something better than him (Messi) and I am sure you are just watching English games in your football world. Are you really saying that Messi is better than Rooney in every single aspect of the game? what's messi like with verbal abuse of the ref? bet rooney walks that one If you're trying to claim Messi is a fair and kind player, you'd be massively wrong. Fucking Hand-of-God Maradona wannabe fuckhead.
