lad at uni (Wednesday fan) kept saying "Italian football is boring, its all defensive and crap in comparison to english football"...soon shuts up when questioned "how many games from Serie A have you seen recently?" not to mention in the last 10 years, just as many Italian sides have won the champions league as English...overly simplistic rubbish, and really, the temerity of a bloody Wednesday fan to question it? ponce!

Barton scored one against Villa. Barton's goal against Villa wasn't a direct free kick. Great goal though. Interesting. I remember it different for some reason. he had enough time onthe ball that it would have seemed like one!

Milan nearly scored hte nicest goal yday...ball drilled in from wide right, Zlatan runs near post and perfectly measures a back heel to Cassano who faints a shot, shifts past a defender then blazes it over...would have loved it!

id still cash in tbh, even if he is ahead of Gosling, i dont think tis by enough at their respective ages. a bit of a couple of mil comes in, cash in and lets sign Cabaye no.2.

just because he is a hypocrit, doesnt make him wrong

people criticise his backheel, it wasnt necessary and he conceded possession...still, im all for it

i dont mind it, look at it from his perspective...it hasnt reached Duff levels yet...

this would be amazing to be fair, followed by "man coughs"

sums up the difference between the clubs tbh; http://cdn.whoscored.com/img/blog/2011%2F9%2FCabaye-Newcastle.jpg http://www.safc.com/javaImages/c9/46/0,,10281~10110665,00.jpg

lets not refer to it as "Raylor's value" just yet, i want to see Dalglish go on the news and announce it! It then may seem the tiniest bit true, i dont like getting my hopes up

Carroll when in form and fully fit is pretty quick, he had a degree of pace which i guess you would do at 21...lets not act like he is a statue man! You can improve his touch (which again i dont think is that bad in the first place)...

That's not even f***ing funny imagine if someone rated him only £2mil more than Raylor...

De Gea Jones Smalling Kompany Enrique Silva Ramsey Young Rooney Aguero RVP De Gea edges keeper for me despite the early mistakes, i like Krul but i just cant place him as THE best keeper despite our impressive defence, its mighty praise

may be nitpicking, but i consider Maldini a left back...whereas i see Santon as a right back playing left back...i guess if Santon plays for 15 years on the left itll be hte same but Santon IS a right back, who is two footed enough to play both

Just been saying that to my Dad. Absolutely ludicrous that he has the cheek to celebrate like f***ing Cantona. 71 goals in 10 years.... http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Sport/Pix/columnists/2010/11/1/1288614860108/Shola-Ameobi-celebrates-t-006.jpg

there were times last year where he can just hold onto the ball for fun, and his finishing again can be top class. I just think he gets complacent without competition. He is good coming into a team having had a period out of it (last year when Carroll was taking plaudits, 05/06 coming in after Owen's injury). He is ridiculously well built so wont get pushed off the ball. When he came on, even i was a bit nervous and im a massive fan of Shola's, blindly so! That is the kind of performance he needs to put in, keeps Best and Ba on their toes. Outrageous! reminds me of Forest at home too.

Never. You wouldn't throw someone into the England team based on a couple of good months oh, so drop Terry?

just got back home, get in Catania!

Sounds like Redknapp wanted to play him in centre mid what with the wings being taken. Probably would have gone for him if not for Sandro's emergence. What i would say is that if he were to play anywhere but right wing, it should be further up. Leonardo played him as a trequartista (ie. just behind front 2) for Milan and i remember one game in particular he was fantastic there. His passing is superb, not just the hollywood balls! At PSG im not sure they need him tbh, im pretty sure they dont (last year maybe but not now) but i guess its the most marquee of marquee signings...Milan made the money back on wages etc. with shirt sales so im guessing they foresee the same. A handsome bugger though, which is the reason id sign him here tbf

I heart this man

he flashed a couple of shots wide, which may not show him as being "clinical" with his finishing but it shows he will get the chances with his linkup play with Cabaye and Best....and when Ben Arfa comes back he will score 4 every game

Nolan did the chicken dance...that should have stayed in Newcastle tbh...

spot on i reckon

he has looked good so far today, he has the ability to kill the ball dead with his first touch, which for alot of quick direct players isnt always a given (SWP?)...
