1878

Versatlie player who looks comfortable in central midfield or defence. Le Guen played him at right back for Cameroon, but I got the distinct impression the Frenchman had no clue what he doing. He's a great destroyer, but his passing is nowhere near the other top players in his position. M'bia the player is better is better than anything we have/had in defensive midfield or defence, imo, but M'bia the person is a cancer. He threw a fit to get Rennes to sell him to us last summer, and was "injured" until the end of the current transfer window angling for a move and/or payrise. I was delighted we never signed him in the end. Makes the likes of Balotelli & Adebayor look like well adjusted, quiet lads. Some of the antics from him in the press over the past couple of years were a disgrace.

Nothing wrong with the challenge. He's a dirty player but that tackle yesterday wasn't an example of it. Just bad luck for Zamora.

Pace? Since when? McFadden is very average on the whole. Capable of the odd moment of brilliance but his end product is erratic, often chooses the wrong option and he constantly moans at the ref/team mates/the world and gets himself into strops.

The unbelievable thing is that such a reckless, stupid young player is their captain. Bruce wants his head checking for that.

Drop Distin to put Heitinga back in defence and we'll be alright.

Is he fuck Must be one of the most wasteful managers I can ever remember in the transfer market for a start.

Must have been, he has been with her since he was about 14 and I am fairly sure he wasn't knocking off old grannies at that point Am I not right that they got together after he made his first team debut for Everton? Seem to remember papers laughing about him being into some girl (i.e. her) but her not being so up for it... until he became famous, at least. Edit - looks like I'm right, 2002 aged 16/17. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayne_Rooney http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coleen_Rooney So yeah, always held that against her, as even if she isn't naturally great, by her own choice she'd be obviously out of his league if he couldn't kick a ball. Well known that she knocked him back until he signed his first contract at Everton and she suddenly changed her mind. Pair of pricks.

Not true. He's taken them backwards

Lies. As if Rooney knows how to use Skype.

Aiyegbeni's record speaks for itself. Don't know what Moyes is playing at with Yak, if he wanted to sell him then it needed to be done weeks and weeks ago and a replacement signed. We've ended up with a situation where he's played about an hour of the whole pre-season and hasn't even made the bench for the first 4 games. His match fitness is going to be non-existant when we're desperate for somebody to come in to the side up front.

Yobo is still a good player when he gets a run of games. Could play for most sides in the Prem. Too good to be 3rd/4th choice here, fell out with Moyes as well apparently.

It'll be even harder when he fucks your team up

Didn't Kitson go back on loan to Reading in the Championship and was poor?

Didn't know they'd sold Gerrard as well, like.

Marc Wilson looks an excellent prospect. Lawrence & Kitson are shit. So no, don't agree.

I didn't realise people actually rated Boyata....

i can hear it, sound's like someone who has no voice screaming Yeah, some fella shouting "RAA-PIIID". Sounds like a throat cancer victim with a voice box thing that's on the blink. Shit myself when I first heard it Was nearly in tears at Heskey missing the penalty rebound :lol:

Aye, 91. I thought he was taking the piss, awful. They took 40-ish to Skopje in the last round as well. As the old song goes: "14 to West Ham, ain't that great They are the bastards we love to hate" That's from donkeys years ago when they only sold 14 tickets for the football special to West Ham and British Rail cancelled the train

I love the way when a young black guy is pictured in the posh seats at a stadium football forums automatically assume it's a new player

I'll be pissed off if they're allowed to sign Obinna when he was refused a work permit for us last year

But makes perfect sense to have a couple stadiums close to one another to host group games, non? Well, you could say that but if that was the case why dont they just use 6 London Stadiums!?! I can't think of 6 London stadiums good enough. Only allowed a maximum of 2 cities per city and usually only one city is allowed to have 2 stadiums. This may be relaxed if its held here though due to England obviously being fairly small. On a a seperate note I'll be f***ing furious if teams like Everton or Liverpool etc use this to their advantage and get a free new ground from it. Well, we certainly won't since our super ambitious board didn't even bother to bid.

Diamanti has signed for Brescia for 2.2m euros

Gyan is pretty crap imo. Anyone who has watched him outside of the World Cup knows he's no more than average. Even in the World Cup two of his three goals were pens.

Jo is a waste of time. Awful.
