Fuck me eddco

Can someone please explain these to me - I am ignorant to the messages depicted !!

I am a cretin don't forget

Danny Webber is crap. I am glad we did not sign him even on a short term contract, for free. His stats Season League App Goals 2008-09 36 4 2007-08 14 3 2006-07 22 3 (Premiership) 2005-06 35 10 2004-05 7 3

http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2009/sep/09/world-cup-wales-guus-hiddink-russia I hope we have the gut and go all out for him, when we are in the Premiership next year.

It is quite "sad" how Cuper's coaching career has regressed. Keane is a good player though, but I suppose not good enough for Barcelona ! (See Gudjohnson)

Lauren, Moritz Volz, Noe Pamarot, Michael Ball, Glauber Berti, Jorge Andrade, Lucas Neill, Giourkas Seitaridis Andy Van der Meyde, Dietmar Hamann, Olivier Dacourt, Bolo Zenden, Julian de Guzman, Stephen Appiah Sign any of above players, give them 1 year or 2 year short contracts only. They will do a job in the Championship and ensure we get promoted. Short deals mean that they can be gotten rid relatively easy. Don't sign any forward as we have enough Championship materials forwardz already in our squad (Carroll, Ameobi, Smith, Ranger, Love).

Is your name by any chance related to ex Watford player Rinaldo ?

Finally, David Moyes has his own starting 11 Yakubu, Jo, Saha Pienaar, Billy, Fellaini, Rodwell, Cosling, Neville, Cahill, Arteta Baines, Yobo, Distin, Jagielka, Heitinga Howard So as Man City and Hughes, almost Shay Given Pablo Zabaleta, Kolo Touré, Joleon Lescott, Vincent Kompany, Wayne Bridge, Sylvinho Shaun Wright-Phillips, Stephen Ireland, Nigel de Jong, Gareth Barry, Robinho Emmanuel Adebayor, Carlos Tévez, Roque Santa Cruz, Craig Bellamy Stephen Ireland wasn't acquired by Hughes but flourished under him Micah Richards is a home grown but Zabaleta is good enough should Richards' form dwindles

Who are the big two ? Man Utd and Chelsea ? Think you are overrating King, Woodgage and Bassong (assuming all fit) Man Utd : Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic, Johny Evans Chelsea : John Terry, Ricardo Cavalho, Alex Liverpool : Jamie Carragher, Martin Skrtel, Daniel Agger Arsenal : Thomas Vermaelen, William Gallas, John Djourou Manchester City : Kolo Toure, Joleon Lescott, Nedum Onuoha Everton : Phil Jagielka, Sylvain Distin, Yobo Tottenham : Ledley King, Jonathan Woodgate, Sebastian Bassong As a package of 3, the big 4 are still better than Tottenham. I rate Everton and Manchester City as equal to Totthenham. However Distin, Yobo and Jagielka are all fit athlete. Jagielka is out at the moment but he suffered injury on the pitch not due to weak physique. I will get teased but I would say that Lescott-Toure combination is better than King-Woodgate combination. Aston Villa : Curtis Davies, Richard Dunne, James Collin Sunderland : Anton Ferdinand, Michael Turner, John Mensah Seems quite good for midtable team. Birmingham : Roger Johnson, Frank Queudrue, Scott Dann Seems quite good for bottom league.

Shamelessly copied from another site Stoke have spent around 50 million so far since joining Premiership: Seyi Olofinjana £3m (recouped) .................. Bad deal Dave Kitson £5.5m ...................................... Bad deal Danny Higginbotham £2m ........................... Good deal Abdoulaye Faye £2.25m .............................. Good deal Tom Soares £2.5m ......................................

Not sure Diego Arismendi £2.6m................................. Great deal Danny Collins £2.75m................................... Good deal It shows that little amounts add up 2 seasons £50M, each season average £25M Had this amount been concentrated on a few players, eg 7M, 8M, 9M it would be a lot more noticeable (Aston Villa, Sunderland) Thomas Sorensen Andy Wilkinson, Abdoulaye Faye, Ryan Shawcross, Danny Higginbotham Robert Huth, Danny Collins, Leon Cort Matthew Etherinton, Glenn Whelan, Liam Lawrence, Tuncay Sanli Michael Tonge, Tom Soares, Dean Whitehead, Diego Arismendi, Salif Diao, Rory Delap James Beattie, Ricardo Fuller Dave Kitson, Mamade Sidibe Super solid pool of players - impossible to be relegated. Casting the net really wide, Sam Allardyce Bolton style, Stoke style, is a really good way to consolidate. However Stoke may now have too many similar ability players?

By chance of probability Spurs will eventually end up 5th after numerous try. And Spurs would have earned the right, as they do the business the right way, and have been consistently trying hard, despite bad lucks, oversights etc. I don't necessarily think that Kranjar is a top 5 club player. But 2.5M for his calibre, what a steal !

Unbelievable Niko Kranjar signs for Tottenham for £2.5M What a steal Why did no other club try to buy Kranjar at this price. We are not professionals and we don't know Kranjar was in last year of his contract. However surely all those agents, scouts, managers do.

Michael Turner in talks with Sunderland. 12 million £ transfer !!!!!!!!!!! 1. Where does Sunderland get so much money ? 2. £12M ............. incredible money for Turner. Appreciate that Lescott just went for £24M but Lescott IMO is an underrated international level, multi-functional CB well worth the money. 3. I suppose Turner is the only half decent CB Hull has got, and Liverpool were/are interested in them so fair play to them to jack up the price. However how are Hull going to survive Premiership without Turner? Spurs reject Anthony Gardner ? Who is the backup, assuming Zayate will continue to play regularly ? Bye bye Hull.

True about half of these players are injured. But I don't think squad depth is questionable. Tim Howard Carlo Nash Johnny Heitinga (tbc), Phil Jagielka, Sylvain Distin, Leighton Baines Tony Hibbert, Joseph Yobo, Jack Rodwell Mikel Arteta, Phil Neville, Tim Cahill, Marouane Fellaini, Steven Pienaar, Diniyar Bilyaletdinov Leon Osman, Dan Gosling Yakubu Aiyegbeni Louis Saha, Jô, James Vaughan I am not sure about the formation Moyes favours this year. Yobo is an able deputy in central defence. Phil Neville is an able deputy right back I can't decide who should be in first team midfield, but Mikel Arteta, Steven Pienaar and Diniyar Bilyaletdinov (apparently) are all versatile, ie able covers for other injured midfielders. Louis Saha and Jo are able deputies. Players like Leon Osman and Hibbert, despite being a bit crap, played integral parts in recent Everton campaigns and they could still do solid unspectacular jobs. Carlo Nash is a bit crap but goalie is unlikely to be injured. Dan Gosling has demonstrated that he has a real eye for goals. Jack Rodwell ahs demonstrated maturity beyond his years. It is a shame that James Vaughan is perma-injured. I think Everton's squad depth is decent, better than most. Don't forget they achieved 5th position despite having players like Yakubu, Arteta, Cahill out for a long spell.

Everton in Diniyar Bilyaletdinov Jô (on loan from Manchester City) Sylvain Distin Johnny Heitinga (tbc) Everton first 11 Tim Howard Johnny Heitinga (tbc), Phil Jagielka, Sylvain Distin, Leighton Baines Mikel Arteta, Marouane Fellaini, Phil Neville, Diniyar Bilyaletdinov Yakubu Aiyegbeni, Louis Saha Very very formidable. David Moyes, very well done. Good sales, good purchase

Sunderland in Fraizer Campbell Darren Bent Lorik Cana John Mensah (on loan from Lyon) Paulo da Silva Lee Cattermole Sunderland first 11 Craig Gordon Phil Bardsley, Anton Ferdinand, John Mensah, George McCartney Steed Malbranque, Lee Cattermole, Lorik Cana,Kieran Richardson Darren Bent, Kenwyne Jones Steve Bruce has dones really well - Sunderland will be OK this season.

You speak sense Ronaldo. Lescott is very underrated

Interesting truth

Finally. Thanks for your kindness, Dave.

I think this generalisation is completely bollocks and racist. It is easy to focus on Ronaldinho's quick feet but how many of us are intelligent enough to appreciate his intelligent throughball, intelligent passing, intelligent ball placing, intelligent movement, intelligent mind games with defenders ? Take England national team for example. I don't think anyone would say that black players are under-represented in England national team. Paul Robinson, Robert Green, Joe Hart Rio Ferdinand, Ashley Cole, John Terry, Wayne Bridge, Glen Johnson, Matthew Upson, Joleon Lescott, David Beckham, Frank Lampard, Gareth Barry, Shaun Wright-Phillips, Michael Carrick, Theo Walcott, Ashley Young, James Milner Emile Heskey, Jermain Defoe, Carlton Cole, Wayne Rooney Rio Ferdinand, Ashley Cole, Glen Johnson, Joleon Lescott, Shaun Wright-Phillips, Theo Walcott, Ashley Young Emile Heskey, Jermain Defoe, Carlton Cole With the possibility of Carlton Cole, I don't think anyone can claim to be included because of his atheletic-ness ? A manager needs to have leadership abilities. Fantastic players, fantastic captains do not necessary make a fantastic manager but vast majority of managers have been captains in their playing careers, or have been an influential player. And ex-captains are always commodities in the managerial market. Leaders tend to be from the majority, although unsubstantiated I would hazard a guess the captain proportionity in tilting towards the "white" players. Naturally there would be less "hot prospect" black managers. Ince was a captain player, and he was reasonably highly sought after. I can't recall John Barnes being captain of any team.

Here is my take. Granted I knew very little about how manager-recruiting works in the football world, so I am probably talking bollocks. A dozen attempts and failing to elicit a single interview does not sound harsh to me. In non-football life you could easily have applied for 20 jobs and be interviewed only once. Football manager is a highly sought after job. Every Premiership club seems to claim to receive more than 20 world class applications for any managerial vacancy, and John Barnes is no where remotely near world class as a manager. Premiership clubs tend to recruite high calibre manager, manager with good potential, or coach from within, none of which John Barne is. There are plenty of other white managers who have much better track records but are toiling in the lower leagues. Danny Wilson springs to my mind. It is true that black managers are under-represented in the football and I do think that there exist some institutional racism. However I do not think it is true for John Barnes. John Barnes as a football pundit or presenter does not inspire any confidence from anyone. I highly doubt that anyone who has watched John Barnes presenting on TV would give him a managerial job. Wenger - came with a pedigree O'Neill - came with a pedigree McLeish - came with a pedigree Allardyce - came with a pedigree Megson - A bit shit, but his shit CV is better than John Barnes' Coyle - won promotion with Burnley. Came with a pedigree when appointed Ancellotti - came with a pedigree Moyes - came with a pedigree Hodgson - came with a pedigree Brown - won promotion with Hull. When appointed was an assitant to a sucessful Allardyce Benitez - came with a pedigree Hughes - came with a pedigree Ferguson - came with a pedigree Hart - promoted from within Pulis - history with Stoke Bruce - came with a pedigree Redknappe - came with a pedigree Zole - Italian (DOF is Italian), great player, new and fresh Martinez - came with a pedigree. History with club. McCarthy - won promotion with club. When appointed, had proven record in Championship level. I can't see which club would have appointed Barnes ? West Ham ? Zola was untainted, fresh, Italian and foreign (new ideas, different cultures) - he is a better choice than Barnes. I do think there are still some underlying institutional racism which unfortunately is almost impossible to eradicate in any field of life, however I do not think that Barnes has been unfairly treated as a managerial candidate.

Hart Carr, Roger Johnson, Queudrue, Vignal Larsson, Ferguson, Carsley, Fahey McFadden, Jerome Subs Maik Taylor, O'Connor, Phillips, Benitez, McSheffrey, Parnaby, O'Shea. The team seems awful, but look at those who are not playing If Scott Dann is playing, Hart-Johnson-Dann defensive unit could be difficult to crack.
