Ridman

Had 19 corners today

He will be allowed to go anyway most likely he didnt get a game last season and was rarely used as a sub Isn't Robinho going to Chelsea though? Think I remember Calderon saying that a player shouldn't be kept against his will and that Ronaldo should be allowed to join Real if he wanted to leave Man U, would be hyppocritical not to allowing Robinho to leave.

"Zenit have splashed out a record 30million euros (£24m) to sign Portuguese midfielder Danny from Russian rivals Dinamo Moscow." http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11675_4047446,00.html How good is this Danny lad? Only played one game for Portugal

http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11096_4041599,00.html Nice two players in the weekends best XI. Happy for Coloccini :colo:

Reading the transfer forums on Everton boards is quite humorous, they have one of these Bombay video threads on bluekipper with some hilarious clips being posted three of my favorite: http://www.grapheine.com/bombaytv/index.php?module=see&lang=uk&code=c9904894a79560d725a3fda1961d7fbc http://www.grapheine.com/bombaytv/index.php?module=see&lang=uk&code=eae775d07524fc25ee71579938717bc1 http://www.grapheine.com/bombaytv/index.php?module=see&lang=uk&code=366b5785e73a25e2b9059af16ef21ce0 mackems.gif

if it wasnt so predictable i'd say it was an unbelievable article, utter trash. " Gretar Steinsson's spotkick was stroked powerfully to Given's left but the goalkeeper was down in a flash to save it at full stretch - and then he had the presence of mind to boot the ball clear as the Icelandic defender raced in to try to right his wrong." mackems.gif "Had the Bolton captain Kevin Nolan been in top form, he might have scored a hat-trick."

IMO, we should sell Milner for 8-10m (whatever they are offering) and go for Jakub Blaszczykowski from Dortmund. In my opinion the best Polish player today (although that isn't saying much) along with Boruc. Fast and gifted technically who can also play as right-back, scored a very good goal against Bayern Munchen today too. Only problem being that I don't think we would come too cheap, think I remember reading some interview from Dortmund's chairman saying he wouldn't go for less than 10m euros. Admittedly I don't see much of the Bundesliga, but he has been class in the international games and I'm sure he would have become one of Euro's 08 stars if he hadn't got injured just before the tournament.

You have got to be kidding? No just my opinion. Thought he did exactly what was required of him, breaking up play and making good interventions in the defense. Cleaned up a lof of Guthrie's mess. Was treading water whenever we didn't have the ball. He can't keep up with play any more & leaves the back four far too exposed. He's also the worst culprit for giving it away far too cheaply when under no pressure in the whole team. Agree with that most of the time, don't remember him conceding many free-kicks today though. But like I say, it's only my opinion. I see that BBC's and Sky's player ratings don't agree with me (nor you lot), so I'm probably rating him too highly, but this is how I experienced the game today.

PMed

Given 8 - Penalty save, good on crosses N'Zogbia 7.5 - Good runs up the wing, though no end-product. Many needless fouls Beye 7 - Solid defensively, got more involved our attacks in the second-half. Taylor 6 - Almost cost us the game with his arm flapping Coloccini 7.5 - Solid Butt 8 - My MoM. Good in our half, won many balls Guthrie 4 - Poor, kept losing the ball in our half. Passing not good enough Milner 6 - Poor first half, better second half Gutierrez 7.5 - Got doubled team on a lot, did well despite that. Martins 6 - Not much to work with, off injured. Duff 4 - Provided nothing Owen 8 - Matchwinner Geremi 7.5 - Thought he was good on the ball, set up the goal

I'll tell you........ 1) No DM 2) No cb 3) Ramos persists on starting Lennon 4) Ramos persists on starting Ekotto 5) Still havent got a replacement for keane (zenit have signed a guy for 30 million euros today to replace Arshavin) 6) Ramos persists on playing Bentley lm 7) Gio is dropped despite looking good against Boro 8) Sell Berbacunt asap Who?

Sponsors was Given. I'd give it to Butt

Guthrie was really poor today imo, kept losing the ball in our half and was not involved in our attacks at all.

Was from Beye, nvm the cross I meant

Jenas equalises for Tottenham against scum too!

140k / week get in, sign asap

Really good cross from Geremi too
