Frazzle

It's a rubbish precedent to set, no player should be above the law no matter how good he is thinks he is.

shut-up man. f***ing hell if I shared a training ground with those two i'd probably have snapped both their necks by now

Barton obviously bottled it with Fabricio 'Flying Fists' Coloccini.

Ranger better get on.

the most depressing thing about the championship is all the empty seats and lack of atmosphere at many games, depressing and really hits home that you're not in the premeir league anymore Not seen Boro play in the Premier League

No Barton Hope it's not that team.

To be fair he was gifted about 8 England internationals for absolutely nowt, brought by Man U's youth teams but it was still a bit lucky.

I still don't get why everyone's going mental for him at Notts County, he's not even the manager and they haven't exactly splashed the cash.

Should have joined Weight Watchers.

Did football focus just say Ronaldo and Kaka were the two best players in the world?

Carroll and Enrique to combine for two goals. 2-1 to us.

I'm sure there was times last season when Everton's team was more expensive than ours. Ours was never as bad as made out, got quite a few cheap players in our team actually: Butt, Guthrie, Harper, S.Taylor, R.Taylor, Ameobi, Carroll (all less than £3m). They've got players like Baines (£6m), Fellaini (£16m), Jagielka (£4m), Yakubu (£11.5m) and Howard (£3m), not cheap.

SSN had team news on before: "Butt and Guthrie injured; Owen, Martins, Viduka and Bassong have left the club." Great team news that like, so I take it Owen and Martins etc. won't be able to play?

Figo was never as fast as Lua Lua, so Kazenga should be even better.

If he signed for Spurs it would be worse.

Signed for Villa Could've been interpreted two ways, so shut up.

Signed for Villa

Living off his first season anyway, how many times did he stand out last season? Enrique and Bassong were better, then Taylor towards the end of the season

Would be a shame if Martins got injured.

Krul, Kadar, Tozer, Lua Lua, Ameobi, Vuckic, Ranger. Can't think of anyone else, seems like all youngsters (except Shola), we don't have anymore players do we?

To all those who haven't put Messi as World Player of the Year, you do know the award given out will be based on last season? Can't see anyone else winning it.

One of the comments on Caulkin's articles: Idiot. Promised £20m! He didn't end up spending that though did he! **** me.

The lure of Europa league football? Don't Villa kick dirt in the faces of travelling fans and play youth teams?
