Very good point re: Lovenkrands. Jonas looks twice the player with him on the pitch, and some of his assists to Lovenkrands in the Championship were glorious. Could well be that we lack an intelligent striker like Lovenkrands who also has the physical attributes of someone like Ranger or Best. Bestykrands would be an amazing player. What an absolute load of guff you're both talking.

Harper is playing very well, no need to drop him at this moment.

Max Gradel is American? What a complete and utter rag.

The funny thing is that's exactly what he was signed for - to be our main striker.

Of course he has a place as a back-up defender.

Christ, what a terrific quote.

Of course. But the likes Owen, Viduka, Butt, Jonas, Duff, and Guthrie were worse.

You're the one completely oblivious to reality. People like you need your easy targets, fair enough. Xisco may have been very poor, may have badly wanted out at the end of the summer '09, but there's nothing whatsoever to suggest he refused to play for the reserves other than meaningless paper gossip.

There were about 6 players moreso to blame for relegation than Obafemi Martins, like.

The plot thickens. Xisco came out and told us which game he refused to play in, clearly.

Are you completely retarded? You're talking about a player who did play for the reserves that season, on several occassions. There's no substance to what you're saying. Not one single quote.

Joe Kinnear left 6 months before he 'forced his exit' in September 2009. Laughable.

Or Dean Ashton's, preferably.

There are no quotes from Xisco to support what you're saying.

You can't provide any evidence whatsoever to substantiate a pretty damning statement. He turned out for the reserves on several occasions in early - mid 2009, so you're clearly either repeating somat you heard next to the dart board, or you've simply pulled it out of the air.

It is when Spurs, Arsenal, City and Utd keep winning.

Chelsea aren't going to finish in the top 4 at this rate anyway.

Glad Everton won. Fully deserve it.

Well, no. It was 2 years ago. You're making this all up, btw.

Xisco said he refused to play for the reserves under Joe Kinnear? Link?

According to who?

Dowd's a legend.

lying to try and win an argument is never good. It's all he knows, give him a break. You'll hurt my feelings if you carry on like this. And now you're editing my posts? No integrity whatsoever.
