Nah, seriously I don't really know how Juve will be this season. Del Neri is still trying to get his 4-4-2 going with them so maybe he'll turn them round this season, but there squad is very average by Juve standards IMO.

Just a one off, Juve are the pits

19:45, Nixon. On ESPN over here.

Reckon Coutinho will play? He looked great against Werder.

Obviously it comes down to personal opinion, but I would take Miller, Bednar, and Fortune over Shola, who is really a constantly injured, inconsistent nothing. Them 3 players are just nothing players imo. Fortune looked poor in Scotland and Bednar is dreadful. Miller was quite promising at one stage however, but he's even more injury prone than Shola recently.

Shola is better than Cox, Miller, Bednar and Fortune.

Apparently looked half arsed in the reserves so really fighting for his place, that said apparently young foreign players should walk into the first team otherwise they have every right to be disillusioned and not bother. I know you're annoyed about Besty boy being left out of the thread title, but no need to go all hormonal.

Just checked and his goals to starts ratio in the Premier League is better than that of these 3. I know it doesn't mean that much, but still.

I thought the same thing straight away. Load of shite.

Did you listen to the most recent one? The Gambian Newcastle fan, mental bastard Dunno why they got him back on, he was irritating.

Baba is a bad person.

goals Ha. Good one.

He's no worse than the likes of Heskey, Zamora and Cole.

What work's in the championship doesn't necessarily work in the Premiership. Agreed, but it never seems a good idea to mess around with your biggest strength first. Also, it was never given a fair chance to work in the Premiership, Hughton is just attached to Nolan for some reason. I'm sure they played together quite a bit in the season we went down. Wish people would stop saying stuff like this. Coloccini was a useless t*** in the Prem, he's now arguably our best performer this season. Carroll is on the verge of an England call-up. Enrique has turned into God over the last year. etc etc. Lots has changed in 2 years, to keep linking back to that relegation season is a bit misguided because it's mostly irrelevant. saying players are good after a few games back in the premiership is misguided. You've completely missed the point. Some players are just as s*** as they were 2 years ago, some players have improved a lot in that time. Players have left and players have come in and we have a different manager in charge. The overall squad and team as a whole is very different and the situation has changed. Making judgements because of what happened in 08/09 is pointless and is only being made in this instance to support your hatred for Jonas. Anyway, out of those 3 points what did I say that was innacurate?

Bloody idiot.

What about the other way round?

I thought Aghahowa was a fans favourite at Shakhtar.

Hate Iaquinta, he's awful. Painful watching that talentless lump lumber around at the World Cup while vastly superior players sat on the bench/at home on their couch.

Definitely. We're only getting about 50% out of him as a lone striker. Which is definitely what he is infront of Nolan.

He'd be so much better with a proper strike partner.

Eto'o is a beast this season.

Are you joking? The relatively few times I've seen Busquets he's looked nowhere near the level required by Spain or Barcelona. That said he may be hindered in my eyes by being one of the biggest cheating twats I've ever seen. He's streets ahead of Mascherano, who can barely pass a football. Busquets is a massive twat, but a hugely underrated player.
