Shepherd had nowt to do with Cacapa to be fair

A man should be judged by his actions, not his manners or demeanor. He's a gutless little fuck

aye, that's what I saw t'other day, really let himself go the daft fucker

Edgar wouldn't last 5 minutes against the physicality of the championship man, no point in keeping him

What did he say about Ashley?

It's not based on what he says though. We know for a fact that Souness wanted Anelka and Boa Morte, Souness practically baited Anelka as best as he could through the media. It was also clear that Souness favoured the 4-3-3 system, and wanted Anelka/Morte for that system. As for the Owen bid, that was clearly entirely Shepherd, and I can't see it being any other way. He wanted a big name, big money, long term replacement for Shearer, he wanted the best England had to offer, so he went for Rooney first and foremost, and when that failed, he used the same funds a year later to sign Owen. Souness by that time had been told Anelka was a no-go as Fenerbahce had rejected our no-doubt derisory bid. It was compeltely obvious at the time what happened here without any need for Souness' eventual confirmation of the undermining that occurred. In the press conference Souness said, very smugly, 'when I walked into the Chairmans office and handed him a piece of paper with Michael Owen written on he nearly fell off his seat, but we've done it & got him, and I'm absolutely delighted. Only a few players in the world could replace Shearer and he's one of them'. Granted he might just be saying that, but it hardly looked like he was saying it through gritted teeth. Dont get me wrong I am suspicious about the Boa Morte/Anelka deals and why they didnt happen, what was Shepherd doing etc. Although I agree with Shepherd that everyone was chuffed when we signed him, we had already bought midfielders aswell to supply him. Fair play mate. I'd forgotten Souness said that, lying prick

funnily enough i dont sit by SSN poised with my camera-phone

POIDH SSN about 10 minutes ago, he's grown a impressive double chin

Speaking of under 21's, Michael Johnson :kasper: To think we offered £8m for him in February, the guy looks unrecognizable, gained so much weight

get in!

Kieran Gibbs, lovely

cool as you like

Hart out of the final, what a cunt

Cattermole scores

Joe Hart, honestly

well saved

Milner, what a dickhead

All based completely on what Souness said. The man's a liar

daft fucker

The likes of Boumsong and Hughes have found more success than Bramble after leaving this club. Hughes is a solid player who's 30 years old and has finally had 2 good seasons. 2 years ago he was considered poor to average, his ability is nowhere near Bramble's, he just reads the game well. I dont care how you paint it, Boumsong is the classic example of a defender who may perform well on the continent, but has absolutely no place in the premier league, and no english club will ever go near him again.

My uncle played (albeit briefly) for the first team in the 70's and obviously trained with supermac 4 days a week, said he was the quickest player he ever encountered, both in legs and intelligence

could they not just have closed the book on it? if not that's very odd

i'd be amazed if most bookies offered you a price on that
