The Prophet

Arshavin-----Chamakh------Van Persie Has the potential to be frighteningly good next season.

For the reported £7.5 million I'd be staying well clear.

Where's plan B?

Was it the cheeky smile and the twinkle in his eye?

Perfectly summed up.

... He should of tried something different. We've take so many of these players to finals before and they've produced nothing. Take a gamble on the form players instead of sticking with the same old shit.

Capello really has bottled it big time. He's attempted to take the safe option by using the tried and tested but it's been done before. We'll have the improvement of being tactically well drilled this time around but where's the plan B, who do we bring off the bench to change games? If the shit hits the fan what are we going to do, bring Crouch on and punt long balls up to him for the remiander of the game? With Terry and Ferdinand having questionable seasons we need all the fire power we can get and for me Lampard and Rooney are the only players to fear in that final squad.

It's all about Rooney and what's best for him. While I agree with that Heskey hasn't played well for at least a year now for club or country, I used to of the view Rooney played better alongside him but we've got to move on.

People defending Heskey going instead of Bent.

Imagine if he threw in a transfer request this summer. Jesus. He should come here & get picked. I think they'd physically explode with rage.

Dawson, Johnson and Bent out for Carragher, SWP and Heskey? Deary me.

Picking names over form, par for the course.

Saw Kluivert in Greggs earlier, make of that what you will.

Bet Bent isn't smirking when he's axed next week.

Keep Carroll and Lovenkrands; if we get adequate offers for Shola or Best flog them (providing we have a replacement lined up); loan Ranger out.

I'm not fussed either way but Caulkin twittering we've denied it doesn't mean we aren't after him.

Exactly, take the overused example of Bassong for someone who was realtively poor until he came here.

Would be a decent signing.

Isn't there an FA regulation that the section of shirt behind the name and number has to be plain?

And what advantage does it give this wide ranging conspiracy to put them together, if they've already magiked up all these pictures?

You didn't see the other photo then?

Brazil.

The Championship play-offs have been fantastic entertainment this year.
