This is mint. Proper enjoying people fighting through a computer screen because some knob accused someone of having no links to the club other than a computer screen. Really makes you think.
Had a winner tonight! PSG, Lazio, Salzburg, Steaua and Schalke were 19/1, was just a quid like. All were odds-on apart from Schalke who were a surprising 2/1.
Perch? Obertan? Gosling? Campbell/Ireland/Kuqi?
Perch - a Calderwood-inspired Hughton buy; not hard to convince Ashley because he was cheap and fits the profile.
Obertan - a Pards-inspired buy; not hard to convince Ashley because he was cheap and fits the profile.
Gosling - freebie/opportunistic signing; made cos of his lack of cost
Campbell - made sense on paper, backfired
Ireland - always a nutjob/temporary so no loss
Kuqi - our hands were tied/temporary so no loss
You can argue anything any which way.
If we gave Ryan Donaldson a year's extension (and Nile Ranger 5 and a half years!) then I don't see why we shouldn't give one to Kadar - he's shown waaaay more potential than Donaldson and even arguably Ranger.
Real shame about Fletcher. He's really turned round the popular opinion that he was too shit for Man U and just Fergie's token Scottish boy, and proved that he's actually a bit good. Hope he gets through it and plays again when ready.
Would rather see Lovenkrands out wide on the back of his performance against Chelsea, and Obertan's complete non-performance in nearly every game this season.
