Smith getting injured is the best moment of the season so far.

BEN ARFA? What?

Pathetic.

He shouldn't be getting this amount of attention.

He didn't sell Carroll, though.

What are the other examples of contradiction?

Thing is, he's the same age as Nile Ranger. He's an incredibly talented kid, basically.

The Carling Cup is there to be won for clubs like ours. We just haven't been good enough or brave enought to make a decent fist of it in recent years. It's mostly down to management.

It's somewhere between hope and expectation, I suppose. I don't expect us to sign 2 new starting strikers, and Best is easily the pick of the current bunch. He's a player that battles for the ball when we don't have it, then gets straight on the shoulder when we do, and i like that. He can get a lot of goals at this level with the right service.

Aye. Been very poor. Doesn't even appear to be a player who looks to have a speciality that you could see him using if he improved. He seems to be astoundingly mediocre at all the attributes needed to be a top midfielder or at least has been this season. He looks like a weaker, slower-footed version of the fella in your avatar. Better ability on the ball, obvioiusly, but needs far too much time on it. Just goes to show, Big Carlo signing Ramires, SAF bringing in Bebe; they're all human. Ramires has been playing much better of late. Sure, still nowhere near being worth the price that was paid for him, but to say he's been one of the worst in the Premiership when there have been players like Perch is ridiculous. Ramires has come no closer to fulfilling his job description than Perch has to his. I'm not saying Ramires isn't the better player, clearly, but he's been every bit as woeful. Creative players who don't create will never be held up to the same scrutiny as defenders who don't defend well.

Worst run of my career by a mile, this. I've lost fucking hundreds in the last couple of months.

Hope he's looking forward to playing in front of 33,000 every other week, whilst HBA and co. are running riot in front of 50,000 plus.

I'd really love us to sign an unselfish Bellamy type to play up top with Best.

Don't think it's that amazing, really. They've never won a league title and have only consistently finished in the PL top 4 in the last few years.

The last few mentioned are all good calls. Ramires, too. Absolute shower of shite.

Come home, Andy! All is forgiven.

Cheers. Villareal Porto Liverpool to qualify Rangers draw £5 returns £105.

Should be obvious, shouldn't it.

What?

He's the classic 'modern footballer' He's the absolute extreme, and you know it.

Allardyce is certainly deluded, but he's no idiot.

Went with this. £15 returns £78. I'll be very, very mad if it doesn't come off.
