doesnt mean i cant suddenly be pesimistic.. my first quote was a joke aswell..

hasn't signed yet though has he?

Funny coming from an arsenal fan.. but i absolutely agree with you- no point having some radical non-direct freekick this or toss them off for 20 minutes that.. just educate the refs on what a dive looks like and book the offenders, full stop. Eboue is the only one that dives nowadays and he is stopping that! But admitedly Pires did used to fall over air ALOT have nothing against arsenal, in fact their one of only a few teams in the PL that i dont despise. but u can't argue that when arsenal are losing.. they usually get penalties, and not many of them have been legit- they seem to invite challenges in the box, quickly change direction and fall dramatically. it's probably down to how many french players you have, it seems that this tactic is embedded in their game... even fabregas, a fine fine player, is also suspect to some dodgy acting..

human rights violation i'm afraid... otherwise good idea

Bad news- it actually makes sense manyoo need a striker and martins has a 13mil buy-out clause. hope it's just speculation

The pesimist in me: - never was a deal all a big fat lie or deal rejected The optimist in me: - deal has stalled because we're trying to make it a double (deco or gudjonsen) sad thing is.. the pesisimist is making more sense

this is b*llocks it seems players are all over the place and i havnt seen a single one, except i got to meet up with shearer (my mother's friend interviewing him so i hassled her to ask if i could tag along- why not?) that was a great experience . But hang on, it's not as if i'm staying indoors here- i'm always out and i never seen them... then again maybe i'm nnot looking hard enough, even though im always at the metro :-[

Deal off then?

How are we counting Barton? A Clarence Seedorf - working hard, covering his flank, but attacking a lot more, "spinning" off Viduka who would be a more static playmaker in the Bergkamp mold. clarence has one wicked shot though.. not sure if barton does

me neither.. probly get disqualified for being on the pitch anyway

Diop is 30 in January, Faye is 30 in February. wow. literally not much separating them age wise either.. that helps...

b*stard!

not much separating them, ok who's younger?

just so nobody forgets it That's bound to be a .cock headline if he scores a winning goal I'd put a fiver on it tbh :giggle: (new smilie! am i the first to use it i wonder)

who would you rather buy though?

milner may not be lightning quick but he's a lot faster than shak gives him credit for.. mate you're making him out to be as fast as a an amputee (leg one obviously, felt i had to say this). That said though, would be interesting to play him in centre mid, who knows could be the playmaker we so desperately need. i'd drop geremi.. don't rate him tbh and play a 442

bjork one was funnier tbh.. although neither made me wet my pants

when i was 16 i had a friend, of the same age, die in a car crash.. its really tragic going at that age; when you have dreams of glory that will go unfulfilled... remember going to my friends funeral and seeing the absolute sorrow on his family's face, must be awfully hard. my heart goes out to the lad and his family.. rest in peace

i'd take him, unless it means we're not getting Deco

Wasn't so much funny as stupid.. haha guess that's what makes it funny though. Funnier if the lad's serious.. oh and this: Yeah we got nothing better do with our time than making up stories of Icelandic millionaires trying to buy a mediocre football club. Think again you t*** criminal tbh

if he wants champions league football (quoted saying) then lyon would be his best bet.. wouldn't pick spurs over us though definitely

Part in bold is a bit sad, not really funny but the rest

I said sorry didn't i.. the headbutt was completely unnecessary

................................................................................ sorry couldn't resist, but yeah he's decent player, good on he ball and as good a player as yakubu, could well flourish aswell. Your team could use a bit of love (sorry again..)
