if Arsenal dont kill this one off in the next 10 mins I can see WB getting something out of this game tbh

My mates a Spurs fan and is usually overly critical of his team and reckons Woodgates been class for them since signing. Oh don't get me wrong I'm still a big fan of the lad and he definitely upped his game when moving to Tottenham last season as opposed to his form at Burra, but like I said I don't think he's the player we had, he's far away from that. And with his attitude and fitnesss, I'd take someone like Colo every time. As you're guaranteed to get more out of him. tbh I agree with you. Didnt realise his attitude was wrong though?? If you'd ever have seen him out in Middlesbrough you'd know what he means. Him and his mates are f***ing twats. yep, see him every once in a while in The Dickens or Blue Lounge pissed out of his head with his entourage of cunts. He's been barred from several pubs that I know of in Boro for acting like the daft prick he is

I agree completely Barton DM Jonas Owen Saviola Martins would be fantastic tbh

aye goal.com probably thought Beye and Enrique were flops last season

Martins, Owen and Saviola are all very different players tbh

funny, i dont remember people shouting for a big target man when we had Cole and Beardsley knocking them in every week

Yeah, he's more Beardsley than Owen. I'd take him on loan definitely. nah, he's more Owen actually. Owen's role at the end of last season is perfect for Saviola tbh. Saviola will get the ball and look to play the one-two or use his pace to get in behind. Beardsley was a lot more creative and skillfull and prefered to take people on

in recent years he seems to have been deployed in a deeper role, certainly.

this is probably the signing 'so big that nobody will believe it' everyone rates Saviola it seems, including myself, get him in

Stoke isn't even in the North West, it's a few miles west of Ashbourne ffs

I can see Keegan doing that tbh

why is that? I think his ability to pull off amazing saves would certainly inspire his teammates He hasn't had that ability for quite a while now though tbf. indeed. Given's reflexes and shotstopping are certainly on the wain. But hey, he still has his organisation, bravery, domination of his box, fantastic distribution etc

aye Drogba's where my money is for top scorer. Up until the african nations cup he had a record of a goal every game for Chelsea last season

It's plain to see that central midfield is our Achilles heel. I don't know much about Guthrie, so I can't comment, but surely Keegan will be bringing a central midfielder in before the deadline. Let's wait and see who else arrives before arguing about whether Butt is shitter than Geremi. all well and good but the premiership season starts for us on Sunday

speaking of wingers, where did the likes of Laurent Robert go? the out and wingers who would spend 80% of the game not involved in the slightest

Chelsea to win the league and champions league 2 Man U 3 Arsenal 4 Liverpool Fulham, Stoke, Hull to go down

you consider Milner and Jonas genuine wingers? because i'd say both are wide midfielders tbh

at what odds ? i'd only bet that much on chelsea if i could also cross bet with man utd to make a profit. 13/8 You'd probably win the same amount by simply putting £300 on Chelsea to beat Portsmouth this weekend. Of course it's a much bigger outlay, but less risky. i'd have to stake £460 to win the same amount tbh, not really less risky tbh, especially considering Portsmouth's defensive steel and unpredictability

I'm not a big Geremi fan but he played a part in our good form from April onwards. Butt's just a liability man

at what odds ? i'd only bet that much on chelsea if i could also cross bet with man utd to make a profit. 13/8 couldn't you back man utd at at least 5/4 aswell for £100 and be gurantted a profit whichever wins (and it will be one of the two) I'd rather go all out with Chelsea tbh, I'm very confident it's their year. Plus I will NEVER EVER back Man U

Nope he's perfectly fit which doesn't change anything. it changes the fact that Nicky Butt should be anywhere near the team

is Geremi injured or something? nobody seems keen on him starting ahead of Butt, with the exception of yours truly

at what odds ? i'd only bet that much on chelsea if i could also cross bet with man utd to make a profit. 13/8

I agree with you, just a couple of pieces still missing imo, and as you say we have 4 really good wingers, thats where we are strongest i think.. except one is incosistent, one is awfully average, one has been poor for 3 seasons and the other is untried in the prem that said, I like the look of Jonas a lot and Duff has the potential to do well for us this season

be nothing short of a massive fucking joke if he starts
