howay another darlo lad are we? beyayve man! (darlo accent ) but yeah i think the goalline controversies add to the drama of football.. sure it's a annoying when the decision goes against your team, but the universe tends to have ways of evening itself out. now if you'll excuse me i have some meditating to do

Would be perfect for our system, very attacking. Attacking won't be perfect for our system unfortunately. As long as he can hoof the ball from our 18 yard box to the oppositions 18 yard box he'll be perfect for Allardyce. Maybe he's not thinking about using him as a right back? hmmmmmm agree lets not put him in his favoured position where he could effectively sideline our weakest link.. lets put him in midfield instead.. ingenius

if tabloids were right all the time i'd have ronaldinho on the back of my top. I really think though that we should sell martins for 13mil and get andy cole on a free transfer. excellent bit of business that

are they new levis ? fattest man on earth if you're talking about waist sizes like.. just can't be a*sed to put the dashes in.. you get what i mean..

ENTER west ham... or City Proposterous.. city? going for a player that has premier league experience?.. absolutely ridiculous.. hear they're lining up a bid for Theander Wanbossenflapper.

whatever makes you happy.. cream boy...

Always see him in David Lloyd in Stockton. took me almost twenty minutes trying to remember where i saw him before- being a footie player didn't come to my head first i'll be honest. we ( and when i say we i mean 40 odd people not just me and him) had to stay at this firemen training building next to the airport while the bomb/discarded suitcase was defused/investigated. camera men were there.. and i politely declined being interviewed after i saw a bunch of idiots interviewed before me: "donay no wats 'appenin, somethin about terorists, i danno" it was to be on the local news.

gudjonsen, although overrated, is a great player but yeah only fits into a 442, possibly a 451

Too old?

Its not much but i saw Pallaster at teeside during that supposed bomb scare- somebody just left a suitcase or something.. just remebered. Bit aawkward so i didnt talk to him.

or gudjonson, unless he's asking for 100 K

well i suppose technically its not a dive, well not a blatant one anyway, but they seem to go down way too easy. agree that theyr always playing in the box and that the probability of a foul is slightly higher but iyam they're looking for that foul, and always seem to get it near the end of the match.

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?
