Why, so you could sniff the saddle? What's the point, you can get a good bike for much cheaper. Waste of money. I'm just a sucker for sports memorabilia. Besides, the "getting it presented to you at SJP by the man himself" part (I assume they're doing this at a game next season) may have something to do with it as well... But like i said, it's probably going for a bit higher than my current bank account can cover.

finished at 36th, guess that isn't bad.

I think I would honestly be willing to pay several thousand quid of my own money for this. Unfortunatley, it will probably go for much higher for that.

considering that he's been doing the business in the German leagues for a few years already now, you'd think he'd have moved already if he was big league material.

This is a pretty pointless thread, but we all know we're going to be aimlessly hitting F5 on this board and all major news outlets for the next three months so might as well speculate when we'll get anything. If I had to guess, I'd say we'll only get any significant moves in July after Euros.

Palacios and Valencia would be good additions Koumas and Scharner aren't good enough though. I think Scharner is very underated,can play midfield and defence.Has played in defence of late and played there very well so therefore an improvement on any of our defenders! Koumas is more of a creative midfielder than any of our midfielders besides maybe Zog who is prob leaving anyways,would be a good squad member and would get him prob cheap enough. That Palacios is a beast but I think Utd after both him and Valencia so no chance of getting them if true! Scharner is pretty good. Wouldn't mind him either.

Barnes and Zarate the obvious options, Shorey not bad at all, but we've got a good left back and I don't know if either of them would be happy with being backup. Kitson or Doyle worth a punt on the cheap as backup?

Anelka would be a dream signing, but surely everyone else outside the top 4 would want him as well.

Not if they want to stay up Rough estimate, I'd say he's good enough to fight for a place at one of the promoted teams. Solid defender who doesn't make too many mistakes. He may be a horrible footballer with shocking technqiue, but he does a decent, consistent job of stopping mediocre opposition.

I'd be happy for days if we signed him for under 10 mil. Better player than a fit Viduka, who doesn't seem all that likely to be playing regular football in the Premiership ever again, so we need a replacement anyway.

have we not learned our lesson yet about signing troublemakers?

To be fair, at 4m and 30,000 pounds, it's not like he's costing us much money.

Zenit are amazing. Advocat is doing a wonderful job there. Could have Koreans starting in both the Champions League and UEFA Cup finals this year. What a treat that would be.

60% glory hunters? f*** off with that bullshit lol.. There are many, MANY more fake Manure fans in terms of sheer volume.. you and I both know more fake Manure fans than fake Chelsea ones. The Chelsea glory days are far too recent for people my age.. everyone who is my age and older and have hunted the glory from a young age support Liverpool or Manure... I despise this breed and they are far too prevalent in our society.... Globally, there are easily a dozen times more ManU glory hunters than there are people in Manchester. In fact, at 330 million, the amount of ManU glory hunters worldwide is about 5 times the population of England. Compared to Man United, Liverpool and Chelsea are nothing really in glory hunting terms. So everyone not from Manchester is a glory-hunter? That's a dangerous rationale IMO. I'd guess that the large majority were, but having percentages/stats for something like this seems too optimistic for me! I'm not saying that, obviously I wouldn't have that attitude since I'm not from Newcastle myself. It's just that that number is the only one we have, and I think it's fair to say that a large majority of that 330 million are glory hunters.

don't really care which group of annoying fucking bastards get the glory. Just hope it's a good show.

I feel such a girl but awww He deserves that goal Not ashamed to say I was feeling a bit misty eyed myself when he was kneeling on the ground and fighting back the tears.

Can't help but feel something in your heart for Lampard there regardless of your opinion of him. That was a real magic moment. btw, Torres off?!!? Does Rafa WANT to be sacked?

Gerrard has 11 goals and 11 assists, and has consistently been Liverpool's best player after Torres for basically every single game they play. Sure, he's apparently gash in international games (which I can't confirm since I rarely watch England,) but he's one of the best in the world at what he does on the club level. If you have eyes, why can't you see that? No idea why people hate him so much.

On a side note, how many times have we actually used our Away kit this season? Can't be more than three or four times. Have we used our third kit at all? I'm having difficulty being excited at the prospect of a new Away kit every year considering that the lads won't be wearing it more than a handful of times unless we're in Europe. Being in black/white stripes means that color clash is rarely an issue for us, so opportunities to see the away kit are few and far between.

But don't they vote some time around January. Chelsea weren't great earlier on and Fabregas had a good first half of the season. Makes more sense then. In that case, it's odd that they'd vote on the player/team of the season when barely half the season is done though.

Evra > Clichy It's also odd how there isn't a single Chelsea player on that team when they might be winning the title.

A Man City fan was. http://smf.citymancs.com/forum/index.php?PHPSESSID=ls4u8nu92qs8dob889bv7ishr4&topic=9958.0 "enquired," so I guess this is miles away from a done deal even if Sky are on the right track.

Everyone including me will be refreshing this thread every 5 minutes, we'll get to about 50 pages, then he'll sign for Spurs. I refuse to ever get excited about a transfer rumor again 'till I see a photo of the player in black and white stripes.

Shit thread.
