  1. Given the selection of matches tonight, I can't see why anyone would want to watch Chelsea toil to an easy 3-0 victory.
  2. Really excited for the match against Real tonight. (l'OM) We've put out a real physical, strong side and I hope we can maybe force our influence on the game a bit.
  3. He'll get plenty of games, but maybe not as many starts. He's third choice striker, and plays on the wing as well.
  4. Only those are a class above? How many other teams have players as good as Guthrie, Taylor, Carroll etc. etc.? Just realised you probably just meant we lost Martins? That was the problem right? Who were the superstars who left? Viduka, Owen? Only Bassong was decent last season and Enrique was better than Beye. We lost Martins, Owen, Bassong, Beye, Duff, Viduka. These players are all far above the Championship level of football. Hell Beye and Bassong, Duff went to top seven teams and Martins and Owen are in the Champions League. Honestly, I forgot Guthrie and he definitely is Premiership calibre. Taylor has never consistently played well at the top level, but he is definitely developing into a good player.
  5. We did lose the majority of our good players though. It's not like we're playing with a Premiership squad. Only Jonas, Enrique, and Barton are a class above imo. Of those three Jonas is injured, Barton is injured/in jail/doesn't care/clinically insane, and Enrique hasn't settled down yet.
  6. England is awful at all non-European age grade tourneys. Not surprising they lose to countries who take the competition more seriously.
  7. Nah, lolz, I'm probaly going to kill u.
  8. Watford beating us would be the Championship equivalent of North Korea beating Italy in '66
  9. I think Fiorentina are going to do what l'OM did two years ago and hand it to Liverpool in the last match. I think they are also the most likely team to get a 0-0 against Debrecen or something like that. Lyon and Liverpool to advance.
  10. I like the guy. Hope he gets back soon. I really want him to succeed in our colors.
  11. Liverpool have a tough road ahead by the way, the trip Florence has already proved difficult. Going to Stade de Gerland isn't too much fun either. Fiorentina are good and all of the big French teams have improved in the last few seasons.
  12. Chance to go five points clear. Very important match tommorrow. Saying that, the thrill of a potential title race will be a lot more enjoyable than the thrill of a relegation fight.
  13. We should have beat Spain. Admitedly, I only watched the highlights, but we had bucketloads of chances. It is absolutely ridiculous that we have yet to score in this tournament.
  14. To be fair to Ramos and whoever was buying players in January, Real did go on about a 18 game unbeaten run between the Barca games. Even in chaos, they almost caught you.
  15. If we're in the Premiership, I don't want Harewood. If we remain in the Championship (god forbid), he'd be a good asset and he'd rpobaly be willing to stay.
  16. I rather admired him at L'OM. He was a rock for a good few years in France. He was even good for his first year at Bolton, but after that his career just fell apart. No where near his old level. Maybe he is just one of those players who are more comfortable in France, like Diawara.
  17. I was expecting a bit more from him based on what he said about himself.. That singer girl distracted him. Good tactics from Ipswich.
  18. There is no one to challenge Inter really, they will win the Scudetto quite easily....again.
  19. Meite has turned ultra-rubbish since coming to England. Don't want him.
  20. First time I've got to watch a full match of us this season. I am absolutely loving this!! Up the League we go!
  21. King is nothing but trouble. Guy has managed to steal a car, rape a girl, fight a teammate, and fight with his int'l team during his career. Not at all worth bringing him here. Yep, that. He only used it sparingly when he was with us (Spanish league enforced a 1-11 starting lineup), but it became attached to him nonetheless. Since then, it has only been worn by his son Jordi, Ammunike (don't laugh), Ezquerro (who ended dropping it for 17), Gerard and Henry. Bar Cruyff himself, everybody up to Henry have been notorious flops, so the talk was that the shirt was cursed. This man's career pretty much just stopped after he joined Barca. He got there, played a few matches, and messed up his knee. All of a sudden he was in his mid-thirties gtruggling to get a job with a team in the Middle East. Football can be brutal. He was a very good player up until that point though. That seems to happen to a lot of Nigerian player as it happens. Funny. I have always felt bad for him. His career should have been better. Didn't more to Europe until he was about 24/25. In those 1993-1997 years he was just great. Was awesome in '94 WC and ACN and for Sporting as well. Then he goes to Barca, tears his knee and is out for about three years. he ought to have been up there with the best ever African players.

  23. You're all going on as if Motson, Lawrenson, Tidesley are s*** hot. They're not, they're all crap. I can't think of one commentator, male, female, black, white or hermaphrodite who is a decent commentator. Shame Derek Rae can't get exposure in UK and other better markets. He's probaly my favortie commentator. I also like Andy Gray, though part of that derives from my grandfather's (Wolves supporter) raging hatred of him. Whenever he hears the man's voice he starts off on a long angry story about how his signing started Wolves descent into oblivion.
