Football Talk 2004/2005 (Soccer)

[Wengerland]

The Dundee keeper, Speroni, has joined Palace, aswell as this player called Emmerson Boyce.I'm assuming he's both are back up, as the latter was released by Luton so he shouldn't be that good.

We've had an offer of £500k accepted for David Connolly :love:

[The Mask]

Ronaldo, Figo and Beckham are stood at the feet of God at the gates of
heaven. God leans down and says to Ronaldo "And what brings you before me", to which Ronaldo replies "You have been my guiding light throughout my footballing career, from the ghettos of Rio to the bright lights of Madrid.
You are my saviour and I worship you and all that you have done for me".
God nods in agreement and Ronaldo dutifully takes his place at Gods side.

The Lord then speaks to Figo "What brings you before me" he says. Figo
replies "My Lord, you gave me the strength and belief to be all that I could
in my footballing life. I have learned from you respect, pride and
gratitude which I have conducted myself with fully throughout my career".
Again God nods in agreement and Figo takes his place by God's side.

The Lord then turns to Beckham and says "I suppose you want your ball back?"

At least we have got Speroni I think that's a good signing, I wonder what's going on with Gabor Kiraly? Emerson Boyce? who's he? also we have signed Mark Hudson he's quite good but he's only Div 1 quality and we have been linked with Marcus Allback in a £500,000 deal he will be a good signing and I'm still hoping we sign Tim Cahill.

Connolly will be a excellent signing for Leicester, I wish Palace got him instead of Shipperly.

[Silverbird]

Everyone knows its Liverpool's year.



:'(

Yeah RIGHT... :wtf:
Arsenal is gonna win... :y:
No harm done?

[Silverbird]

sunderland are set to sign frank lampard!!!!





















and if things work out they are considering trying to sign his son from chelsea ;)

Hey... :shifty:
Sure that franky is going? :wavesad:
Bye then...

[Doink]

jonny greening is in talks with west brom over a £1.9 m move

[Cactus Sid]

Yeah RIGHT... :wtf:
Arsenal is gonna win... :y:
No harm done?

Notice the :'( at the end?

Why am I even replying, I think your banned anyway

[Rob Ban Fan]

<font face=verdana size=3 color="#ff6600">Spurs have made a bid of £2m plus Dean Richards for Matthew Taylor which we rejected.

Fulham have made a £3.5m bid for Amdy Faye and it looks like we might be selling him :'(

Noriwich have signed Simon Charlton from Bolton.

FIFA have made it so that gay 6 subs in friendlies rule only applies to international games.</font>

[Mr. Monday Morning]

We might be firing Camara and holding his registration for breach of contract :cool:

[Rob]

Just sell him. If it goes to court, you'll lose and it will fu</>ck up the market more.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Actually the PFA seem to think we hold the upper hand, since he came in for talks last Thursday and instead of going to training he flew to Paris. So he's pretty much in breach of contract by no-showing.

I doubt anyone will buy him after all this shit anyway. Who'd want a player like that?

[Dazz]

Fuck me this thread has become filled with jobbers.

Drogba is the man, Saha is a poor mans Drogba, I can't wait till next season.

[The Mask]

Saha is the man, but he seems a little sensitive.

Real Madrid are dickheads, as if you buy Vieira now. He must be approaching 30 at least, and it's all downhill from there. As good as he is, he doesn't have too many seasons left at the top of his game.

Same thing they did with Beckham, I suppose.

[toxic rooster]

That's what I'm thinking.

Last year when all the talk was linking Beckham to Madrid, I was all like "Nah, never happen. David Beckham will never leave Manchester United". Like a week later I was proved wrong.

When I heard that Vieira was being linked with Madrid, my first reaction was "Nah, never happen. Vieira will never leave Arsenal". Now I'm scared.

Probably in like a week's time all the news stories will be out "Vieira signs with Madrid" and I'll be all like ":mad:".

[Rob]

I reckon he is gone.

[Ogen]

Barca have received a bid from a British club for Saviola can't see it being United cause it would mean Saha/Smith being 4th choice which they wouldn't accept surely. Arsenal I wouldn't have imagined can afford him, Chelsea don't exactly need him if their getting Drogba and Mourinho doesn't want a huge squad. I'm guessing Liverpool at the moment with Baros leaving. Cisse, Saviola, Owen could be very good.

[Cactus Sid]

If we signed Saviola it would be pretty hot, but my money is on Newcastle

[Cactus Sid]

Actually, the only place I've read it says he's on his way to United

[Ogen]

United doesn't make sense though no way Ferguson is going to relegate one of Smith and Saha to 4th choice

[Cactus Sid]

I could see him relegating Saha to 4th choice

[Oxstar]

It's got to be Chelsea going after Saviola or Crystal Palace:D

[Dazz]

Really doubt it's Chelsea or United, I could see it being Arsenal as Henry and Reyes are their only real threats, Bergkamp is getting on abit.

[Oxstar]

So Arsenal have the cash for Saviola? Wouldn't Saviola cost £15m plus?

[Dazz]

Barcelona are well known for letting players go on the cheap, look at Kluivert for example. I bet they could get him for £10 million.

Also, Luis Fabiano is the man, his goal Vs Paragauy in the Copa America rules, and was from a really tight angle. The Brazil keeper made a fucking great save too just before Paragauys goal. Fabiano has an impressive scoring record for Brazil. With Ronaldo and co not playing he is gunna have to carry them to victory.

[Dazz]

So it was 1-1 at half time between Brazil and Paragauy, Paragauy were 5/1 to win the game so I stuck £2 on them because I knew they would win, by far the better team. If Argentina don't win the tournie I'll be amazed. But Brazil should beat Mexico.

[Wengerland]

Mexico beat Argentina earlier.I'm still going for Brazil to win it, they may have lost yesterday but they were already through anyway.

Sheringham's gone to West Ham and we've signed Pressman (:|) but that's mainly to allow Coyne to go to Burnley.Sunderland have made a late bid for Connolly :mad:

In premiership news, Chelsea have more or less signed Tiago from Benfica and will probably get Drogba now Crespo's going to AC Milan on loan.Looking like Kluivert will be off to Newcastle too.

[The Mask]

Shearer is threatening to retire if he isn't assure a first team place next season.

ahahaha poor baby.

[Oxstar]

Crespo has a really good scoring record in Italy, I never really saw him play so when he came to Chelsea I was expecting a great player but he was shit, the same with Veron.

Everton and Aston Villa are in talks with Tim Cahill, go on you mugs pay the agents fee, I wish he had signed for Palace, at least Palace have signed Joonas Kolkka to replace Julian Gray.

[Wengerland]

Theo Zagorakis has been released by AEK Athens because of their debt.

sadsfsdafss, someone bring him back to England :'(

[Oxstar]

Theo Zagorakis has been released by AEK Athens because of their debt.

sadsfsdafss, someone bring him back to England :'(
If Theo Zagorakis came to Palace that would rule.

[Dazz]

Shearer is threatening to retire if he isn't assure a first team place next season.

ahahaha poor baby.

Shearer has denied this claim.

Also, Crespo played very well for Chelsea and In My Opinion was our best striker last year, I wish we kept him, but if he doesn't turn up to an important meeting then you've got to respect Jose Mourinho's decision.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Wolves have completed the signing of 23 year old Nigerian international Seyi 'George' Olfinjana for a fee of £1.7m, possibly rising to £2m in future.

A few weeks ago he nearly signed for Monaco :cool:

[Rob]

I don't even think Alan Smith will play up front for some reason. Think Ferguson thinks he can breed him into a midfielder.

[The Mask]

I bet he will. If we have Smith on the wing and Forlan up front anytime this season, someone is going to die.

[Rob]

You see that goal Forlan scored the other night? :love:

[The Mask]

Yeah he scored a beauty before we signed him as well. I'm not expecting him to do that every week. I'm expecting him to miss open goals and be generally shit.

[Dazz]

I always said Forlan had it in him, the guy would be great at a team where he regulary plays, until this summmer I would have said somewhere like Boro

[Dazz]

Chalton have complained about Chelsea because they say that when Carlton Cole rejected a loan move to them Chelsea assured them that Cole wouldn't join anyone on loan and now he has joined Villa on loan.

[LK]

Smith will definetly not be a striker. There is no way that he will get ahead of Ruud and Saha. I think Fergie wants to make him the next Keane.

[Oxstar]

Charlton would be a good club for Forlan to go to or Crystal Palace:D But if he stays at Man U he wont get much first team football.

[Rob]

Forlan is better than Palace and Charlton

[Oxstar]

Forlan is better than Palace and Charlton
Yeah he probably is but at least he would get to play every week in the first team, I would rather be in the Charlton or Palace first team than been on the Man u bench.

[Wengerland]

Kezman scored on his Chelsea debut.

[Oxstar]

Hey Wee Gonner

Arsenal 10 Barnet 1

[Dazz]

Kezman scored on his Chelsea debut.

Yeah, good pass from Gudjohnsen but Kezman took the goal well, he had plenty of shots and really impressed me, it's also good to see how easy Gudjohnsen and Kezman linked up. Yes I realise it was only against Oxford, but the passing between the two of them (mainly from Gudjohnsen to Kezman) was really good to see. Joe Cole also found it easy to pick out Kezman, his off the ball runs were good and if he plays like that all season against better teams, he will soon be the man.

[Dazz]

The game finished 1-1 but in all fairness to Chelsea, we didn't have Lampard. Also we played some youngsters who no one (me included) has heard of and it was one of them (Stephen Watt) who messed up for the goal. Geremi proved that he can't even perform well against teams like Oxford :|.

[Wengerland]

Only a friendly after all, we lost 2-1 at Barnsley but that was missing about 5 or 6 first choice players.

Reyes and Jeffers got hat-tricks for Arsenal and *i think* a debut goal for Robin van Persie, which was meant to be really good, not seen it yet myself.

[Cactus Sid]

I'm fairly sure it was Huth who screwed up for the goal, but I could be very wrong

[Dazz]

I'm fairly sure it was Huth who screwed up for the goal, but I could be very wrong

Yeah I thought it was Huth when I saw it, but it wasn't, the guy had longer hair.

[Dazz]

Anyone else watching the Peru Vs Argentina match? Kicked off 3 minutes ago on Sky Sports one, Argentina are favourites to win the tournament

[Mr. Monday Morning]

We beat Tromso 3-2 :cool:

[Dazz]

We beat Tromso 7-1 back in the day. <font color ="black">We lost 3-2 away though</font>

[Mr. Monday Morning]

And now you can't even beat Oxford :nono: What went wrong down at the Bridge :nono:

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Fucking great free kick from Tevez btw :eek: :love:

[Dazz]

I was just about to say that, one of the best free kicks I have ever seen, everyone has to watch that goal, Fabiano's Vs Paragauy and Peru's against Bolivia (I think it was them, the game ended 2-2), and one of Bolivia's against Peru, all outstanding goals. The positioning from Tevez couldn't have been any better. Shame he never does anything that good for Boca Juniors, he was linked with United last year, but they have enough attackers now.

What I found interesting is that the Boca Juniors keeper was in goal for Argentina, and when River Plate and Boca Juniors played in the Copa Libertadores last month there was a ruck and the Boca Keeper had scratches on his face after it, dunno if anyone in the Argentinian squad was responsible for it.

Lost £3 though :mad: I bet £2 on Peru to win, 50p each on 2-1 and 2-0 to Argentina. Solano's free kick was also fucking good, two inches lower and it would have been a beauty.

[Oxstar]

Argentinian football is too dangerous, Crystal Palace beat some Northern Irish team called Glentoran 5-0 Andy Johnson hat trick and Tommy Black with 2 goals, but it don't really count for much:D

[Dazz]

Fulham have signed Andy Cole

Drogba is expected to sign for Chelsea this week. I hope he does, he is the player I am most looking forward to seeing next year.

[Oxstar]

Souness just didn't like Yorke or Cole. If he just played them together more and hope he didn't have so many injuries Blackburn would have done better. Great signing for Fulham as long as Coleman remembers to play him.

[Dazz]

Souness didn't bring Yorke on a tour of Germany and said he is his sixth choice attacker. LOL.

[Skeletor2]

Newcastle actually won a penalty shootut today :). Flawless penalties apparently.

[Cactus Sid]

Yeah I thought it was Huth when I saw it, but it wasn't, the guy had longer hair.

Yeah saw it again, it was the other guy.

Gotta love Huth purely for the free kicks

[Dazz]

And for stamping on Shearer's nuts.

[Skeletor2]

And for stamping on Shearer's nuts.

:o I bet he is still feeling that.

[Rob]

Souness just didn't like Yorke or Cole. If he just played them together more and hope he didn't have so many injuries Blackburn would have done better. Great signing for Fulham as long as Coleman remembers to play him.

You kidding me right? Souness was the only guy who was willing to give them a second chance. The problem is Yorke. At Man United, he got on Ferguson's bad side and burnt a bridge and his little boyfriend Cole cried too like a little bitch. Souness thought he got a good deal on Yorke when United would have given him away for free at that point. He has no heart what so ever. He never had one good game the entire time at Blackburn. He only ever performed in one big game for Man United too. We would have never had won the treble without them but they aren't big game players. £60,000 a week for those two pieces of sh</>it? No wonder they didn't want to leave. If I was making that money and was a treble winner, I'd be damn embarrassed if a player from the 3rd division came into the team and outplayed me.

Cole will probably be sh</>it at Fulham but maybe he can do something when he isn't hanging around his boy toy pal.

The only mistake Souness made after signing them was NOT breaking their legs in training. They are a pair of cry baby bitches and the quikcer their careers are over, the better for everyone.

[Dazz]

I always say toy boy, and not boy toy. I thought it was worth pointing that out.

[Dazz]

WOOOOOO this week has been good, i stuck a fiver in my bet365.com account, bet £2 on paragauy winning against Brazil and won £10, then I stuck a fiver each way on Phil Mickelson to win the golf and I won £12.25, lost £3 last night on the Peru Vs the Argies game, but stuck £2.50 on Uruaguy to win and will win a fiver.

Overall I am nearly £30 up within the last week

[Mike the Metal Ed]

http://www.petitiononline.com/mod_perl/signed.cgi?cov2004&1

I don't know if this will accomplish anything but there's a petition to change the Football League names back.

[Wengerland]

Brazil won 4-0 against Mexico. Anyone know the semi final draw?

[Skeletor2]

Brazil - Uruguay
Argentina - Colombia

[Wengerland]

Cheers :y:

Brazil vs Argentina final looks most likely.

[Skeletor2]

That would be like a main event final for the first time in ages :)

[The Mask]

It is just before the next United v cITEH derby

Ronaldo goes into the United changing room to find all his team mates
looking
a bit glum.

"What's up?" he asks. "Well, we're having trouble getting motivated for this
game. We know it's important but it's only cITEH. They're crap and we
can't be bothered".

Ronnie looks at them and says

"Well, I reckon I can beat these by myself, you lads go down the pub."

So Ronaldo goes out to play cITEH by himself and the rest of the
team go off for a few pints.

After a few jars they wonder how the game is going, so they get the landlord
to put the teletext on. A big cheer goes up as the screen reads United 1 ( Ronaldo 10 mins ) cITEH 0

He is beating cITEH all by himself! Anyway, a few more pints later and
the
game is forgotten until someone remembers.

"It must be full time now, let's see how he got on".

They put the teletext on.

"Result from Old Trafford " United 1 ( Ronaldo 10 mins ) cITEH 1 ( Bertie Magoo 89 mins )

They can't believe it; he has single handedly got a draw against cITEH

They rush back to the Stadium to congratulate him. They find him in the
dressing room, still in his gear, sat with his head in his hands.

He refuses to look at them.

"I've let you down, I've let you down."

"Don't be daft, you got a draw against cITEH, all by yourself. And they
only scored at the very very end!

"No, No, I have, I've let you down...

I got sent off after 12 minutes "

[LK]

lol at The Mask's post

[Oxstar]

Who's Bertie Magoo?

[Oxstar]

Is Didier Drogba really that good? I saw him score some good goals in the Uefa cup for Marseille but is he really worth £24m?

www.skysports.com/skysports/article/0,,7-1143851,00.html

[Cactus Sid]

Drogba looks quality, but I think its another case of Chelsea buying the flavour of the month

[Dazz]

Yes, he is the man, and is the only signing in the summer that I am really pleased about Kezman is good but hasn't proved himself in Europe, I think Drogba showed last year in Europe that he is the man. If it wasn't for the fact that no players Chelsea future is certain for more then a season I would get Drogba on the back of my Chelsea shirt.

Drogba is the fucking man, I hope he is our first choice attacker next year. And tubby tubby lala (The nickname given to Gudjohnsen by the bloke behind me at the Bridge) is fourth choice.

[Oxstar]

I thought Mutu was really good, but he missed a few good chances then couldn't get into the first team :nono:

[Wengerland]

Kezman had a better record at PSV than van Nistelrooy i think, him and Drogba should be a good partnership.

I think they've paid over the odds for Drogba, bearing in mind he's just had one good season and there's a lot of reports that he was being offered to English clubs for £4 million or something like that less than a year ago. That said, having seen him last season he is a player i'm looking forward to seeing this year.

[Dazz]

I thought Mutu was really good, but he missed a few good chances then couldn't get into the first team :nono:
Mutu still is the man, he just needs to find form.


And yes Wengerland Drogba was offered for 4million last year, thats roughly what Marsielle paid for him.

[Wengerland]

Thought so. Just find it hard to believe that he's moving for around £10 million more than the leading scorer in the French league last year, Djibrel(sp?) Cisse.Then there's the fact that his price has gone up £20 million in the space of 1 year so i think Chelsea have been a bit hard done by, their original offer seemed good enough.

With Abrahmovich i guess it doesn't matter so much, then there's this Tiago deal which just seems pointless.I've heard Benfica want £10 million but read last week that Chelsea would buy him for 6 and then review his contribution after a year, if good then they'll keep him and pay an extra £2.5 million but if he's not needed then he'll go back to Benfica for £2 million :|. If that's the case then Kenyon seems happy to waste a lot of money.

[Dazz]

When you spend £30million on two players and loan them to big Italian clubs, it shows you the people in charge are useless tossers.

[Cactus Sid]

Kenyon is the spawn of the devil

[Dazz]

Some say he reminds them of Smeagel from Lord Of The Rings

[Cactus Sid]

Yes....I can see why

[Rob]

Put it this way, I wanted Drogba at Man U.

[Cactus Sid]

I was watching Sky Sports earlier, and some French "expert" was saying that Drogba could work really well with an out and out striker (such as Kezman)

I think if those 2 click, Chelsea could do something special next season, although I am still really skeptical about Mourinho

[Ferocious]

Yeah so just got back from the hospital, doctor said eating feces isn't great for the internal organs but drinking your own piss on the other hand is slightly more effective.

[Ferocious]

I always said Forlan had it in him, the guy would be great at a team where he regulary plays, until this summmer I would have said somewhere like Boro
Funny you should say that because Boro were in talks with him before Man Utd resorted to their usual underhand poaching tactics.

[Dazz]

I know that, Boro were very close to signing him, and I think Forlan made the wrong choice.

[Oxstar]

Hey Wengerland what do you think of this?

http://www.teamtalk.com/teamtalk/News/Story_Page/0,7760,860188,00.html

[Rob]

Funny you should say that because Boro were in talks with him before Man Utd resorted to their usual underhand poaching tactics.

Sorry but that's wrong. Middlesborough put in a bid for him, he flew over for talks but shortly before he got on the plane, he got word Man United put in a bigger bid and he went to Manchester Airport instead. At no point did he hold talks with Boro other than agreeing to fly over. How putting in a bigger bid for a player is underhand poaching is beyond me. Poaching is funny too considering Jaap Stam and Ruud Van Nistelroory cost us over £33 million (which PSV were never going to refuse) and Dwight Yorke cost £13 million and John Gregory laughed at the time saying he was willing to accept £8 million if they made a take it or leave it offer.

Not saying Alex Ferguson and co haven't talked to players when they shouldn't have but every club does it, even those who think they get screwed.

[Dazz]

Jaap Stam admitted he was tapped in his autobiography, poaching is the wrong word to use, but you sure as hell tap people. Forlan was probably tapped, but thats not been proven, Bellion was certainly tapped. Another thing United do is make it public that you like a player and deliberatly try to unsettle them, like Smith, Saha, Ferdinand and there are probably more.

The Nistelrooy situation was handled disastrously by you too, inviting him to train with you for six months or whatever it was.

[Rob]

Yeah we did great deals with Smith and Ferdinand. If they never went to Man U, it would have cost any other team at least £6 million less to sign them. Clubs love it when Man U come in for players because they always are priced over the top.

[Dazz]

you got Smith for £7million, bollocks would another club have got him for anything like £1million. You must have a short term memory if you have forgotten that other teams offered much more for Smith then United.

[Rob]

What teams where these then? I don't recall any team other than Everton even making a bid this year and there's wasn't straight up cash hence why he went to Man U.

[yianni]

Some rumour that Rivaldo has gone to Athens in Greece to talk to a few clubs.

Don't know if this is true or not, I just read it somewhere before. :|

[yianni]

A friend of mine just told me he heard on Greek radio that Rivaldo's going to sign for Olympiakos tomorrow. :|

[Ferocious]

Rivaldo is waaaaaaaaaaay past it now

[Oxstar]

I think Rivaldo will still be good for a season or 2. What's the deal with Palace signing Hungarians? we are been linked with a third Hungarin called Zoltan Gera like WTF? It's a good thing I trust Iain Dowie's judgement. I hope we sign Marlon Harewood from West Ham.

[Oxstar]

So Newcastle have signed Patrick Kluivert on a three year deal. I wonder how much he's getting paid and if he can cut it in the premiership?

http://www.skysports.com/skysports/article/0,,7-1144160,00.html

[Dazz]

What teams where these then? I don't recall any team other than Everton even making a bid this year and there's wasn't straight up cash hence why he went to Man U.

I don't have a list handly, Inter Milan definitley made a bid, and at least one other English club did but I can't remember who it was. Leeds could have got more but didn't because Smith refused to go anywhere but United, and only did this because you publicly expressed interest in him.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Tiago has signed for Chelsea.

Bolton have increased their bid for Camara by £200k and been told to fuck off, to put it bluntly. I'm just sick of it now, to be honest we might as well take whatever we can get for the twat and be done with it. He's a major reason we were relegated (shite defending being the first, but him being unable to hit a cow's arse with a banjo for the first 30 odd games of the season cost us a good few points) and he doesn't want to stay around and help fix what he's responsible for, so fuck him.

[Dazz]

Well United only scored one goal past you all season.

Us on the other hand scored ten past you..:D

[Rob]

Tiago has signed for Chelsea.

Come on now. You loved him before he said he wanted to jump ship.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

So?

[Rob]

:lol: Nothing

[Ferocious]

Boro signing Parlour? WTF are we buying up all the slow people?

[Rob]

He wants to sign for West Ham

[Mr. Monday Morning]

:lol: Nothing

Riiiiiiiiiight. So I've no reason to be pissed at him, whatsoever. Despite the fact he wants to jump ship when he's a major reason the ship sank (so to speak). Regardless of the fact he refuses to even sit down and talk with the club. Regardless of the bullshit excuses he's been giving for wanting to leave (won't be African Footballer of the Year 2005? :wtf: ). Regardless of the fact that the vast majority of the fanbase stuck by him through the first 3/4 or so of the season when to put it bluntly, he was shite, and yet he now seems to think he owes us nothing in return, even though he has absolutely no right to be doing what he is doing, legally or morally.

Just so we're clear and all.

If Forlan turned round tomorrow and demanded a move to Real or somewhere because he wanted to have a better chance of winning the Champions League, I'm sure everyone at Old Trafford would be very understanding and not get annoyed at all :|

[Rob]

I would want him to stay cos I love the long haired bastard but if any player left who I thought tried for Man U then I'd wish them well. I actually would cheer Mark Hughes when he scored AGAINST United when he left.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

But he's not just 'leaving'...he's *demanding* to be sold when the club made it clear ages ago they wanted him to stay and help us get back up. Yes he did try, but right now his attitude absolutely stinks, and has pretty much counterbalanced any amount of effort he put in last season.

[Rob]

Yeah but you are Wolves and we are Man United. I can kinda see your point from Dundee's side but even then, I'd want him to leave at that point and forget about him.

[Rob Ban Fan]

But he's not just 'leaving'...he's *demanding* to be sold when the club made it clear ages ago they wanted him to stay and help us get back up. Yes he did try, but right now his attitude absolutely stinks, and has pretty much counterbalanced any amount of effort he put in last season.

<font face=verdana size=3 color="#ff6600">Yeah, its like Defoe wanted to leave last year so he stuck in a transfer request at West Ham. West Ham didnt want to sell him so they kept him for half of the season and he ended up scoring loads of goals.

Camara had his transfer request rejected and he's gone on strike because of it. Thats not the way to go about things. Im actually suprised Bolton want him considering the way he's acted. Id stop paying his wages, play Ganea and Cort and when Wolves get promoted again and he decides he wants to be part of the team, id sell him to some shitty Latvian club or something :cool:. Tosser.</font>

[The Mask]

I would want him to stay cos I love the long haired bastard but if any player left who I thought tried for Man U then I'd wish them well. I actually would cheer Mark Hughes when he scored AGAINST United when he left.

:|

Mark Hughes himself didn't celebrate when he scored against us.

[Dazz]

Anyone else see Dario Silva's appaling miss :$.

--Edit--The games finished 1-1 and has gone to penalties, really hope Urugauy win.

--Edit-- Brazil won on penalties, I am still backing the Argies to win in the final.

[Oxstar]

So Doink Boro are going to sign Ray Parlour, do you think this is a good signing? I think he will be a great signing and he is taking a pay cut.

http://www.teamtalk.com/teamtalk/News/Story_Page/0,7760,861089,00.html

Villa are completeing the signing of Berson off Nantes for 1.5million bout time its been going on all summer. Hes a defensive midfielder who O'Leary has really been talking up so heres hoping hes good now a cover a centre back and left back please and we're sorted.

[Ogen]

Arsenal are close to finalising a deal for that Ajax right back Trabelsi

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Does Dario Silva still have that crap bleach job?

Parlour's probably taking a pay cut so he doesn't have to pay as much to his ex :lol: :'(

[Tony Montana]

Millwall's highly rated midfielder Tim Cahill is poised to join Premiership outfit Everton after agreeing terms with Toffees boss David Moyes.

A deal will be concluded within the next 24 hours - with the Championship club having reluctantly agreed to release Cahill for a £2 million fee.

[Ogen]

Cahills a good buy he'll do well for Everton once they spend the Rooney money wisely

[Ogen]

Kanu wants to join us he'd be good for us I think as cover to play off Angel hes not an out and out striker but he could create for us. And Arsenal have signed some young guy off Marseile.

[Wengerland]

Hey Wengerland what do you think of this?

http://www.teamtalk.com/teamtalk/News/Story_Page/0,7760,860188,00.html

Pointless really, we're getting enough grandad jokes as it is. Still it's talent that matters and Harry Redknapp was interested towards the end of last season so he felt Keown could still do a good job in the premiership and he's normally a good judge of players. It gives us more depth in a position we were short in too, so it's not too bad.

The Conolly signing though.. :cool: HAVE IT MACKEM :mad:

[Oxstar]

Tim Cahill and his agent are fucking twats

[Wengerland]

Flamini is the guy who's gone to Arsenal from Marseille.The Marseille coach, Jose Anigo, described it as treason :$.

Radzinski's going to Fulham for £1.75 million.

Heinze and Ronaldo will miss the start of the season for Man Utd because they'll be in the Olympics.Also, speaking of United, is Rio available now or is it not until September?

[Dazz]

Does Dario Silva still have that crap bleach job?

Parlour's probably taking a pay cut so he doesn't have to pay as much to his ex :lol: :'(

Nah he has a skinhead now.

[Oxstar]

I saw Dario Silva's miss today:nono:

[Tony Montana]

Jason McAteer has signed for Tranmere Rovers...............didn't he sign for some jobber team like Leicester or someone not that long ago ?

[Wengerland]

Damn scousers :mad:

He couldn't agree personal terms with us, but we don't really need him.

Also, get on MSN :'(

The Conolly signing though.. :cool: HAVE IT MACKEM :mad:

Connolly is shit

[Wengerland]

He's a good division 1 forward though, he scored 14 goals last year and was considered to have had a bad year, and that's often playing behind the strikers.He also scored loads despite being in a crap Wimbledon side the year before.

Considering people were getting mad over Dickov scoring 20, i reckon he'll be fine.

[Rob]

Dickov is a solid professional though. Connelly is a crybaby bastard.

[Rob]

Diego Forlan looks like he is going to Athletico Madrid :(

[Wengerland]

I just lost a lot of respect for Dickov after he left despite us offering a new improved contract, standing by him after La Manga and giving him a break in his career from Man City's reserves.I can appreciate that premiership football is more attractive but he's not going to win anything at Blackburn and may not be first choice, with Stead and Gallacher being groomed for the future. Only other thing is his international future but even then Vogts has shown that he'll pick first division players.

As long as Connolly scores the goals for us then i don't really care about his behaviour off the pitch.He chose us over a club managed by the guy who gave him his international debut, so i'm guessing they got on well, which should mean that Micky Adams is a good manager and person in Connolly's view.

[born angry]

Hey People i'm delighted with the signing of kliuert i just hope we get nicky butt too
as we have let speed and viana go

[Rob]

Dickov didn't do anything wrong in La Manga. You know? Charges dropped. Why in the blue hell would anyone in their right mind want to drop down a division at the tail end of their careers when they have better offers in the top league? He had a contract with you and he didn't have to accept another one. Don't know how you can get relegated and yet offer players like him improved deals. Maybe he was on a crappy one to start with. Remember who put the clause in his contract which made him available to talk to other clubs if a fixed price was made,

[The Mask]

Diego Forlan looks like he is going to Athletico Madrid :(

Why the fuck are you being sentimental about him? Okay, he tries hard and he seems like a top bloke, but he's not performing. If it frees up the wages to sign Rooney, then I could care about him leaving even less.

[Wengerland]

The fact that there was an incident is bad enough, you don't see every other club involved in stuff that severe.Anyway all i say is i lost some respect for him.

The parachute payments meant we could offer him a new deal.

[Oxstar]

So Palace tried too sign Harewood and Carrick, hopefully we will offer some more for them or they will hand in transfer requests.

http://www.skysports.com/skysports/article/0,,7-1144556,00.html

[Wengerland]

I can't see them handing in transfer requests over Palace i'm afraid.Sorry man :$

Good to see Palace showing more ambition though, i think if there's no more bids in a week or so then they'll probably accept that £2.5 million for Carrick, they can't really afford to hold clubs to ransom with him in the last year of his contract.

Celtic might make a loan bid fort Henri Camara, they may have done so already but i'm not sure.

Claus Jensen has gone to Fulham for £1.25 mill, good signing in my view.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Camara (according to the official site anyway) was at Molineux yesterday for more talks and will be at training on Monday. So I dunno :-\

[Frank Grimes Jnr]

Still shocked Jensen went to Fulham. Don't know what the point of that move is.
I think Fulham might go down this season.

[Goldbird]

Why the fuck are you being sentimental about him? Okay, he tries hard and he seems like a top bloke, but he's not performing. If it frees up the wages to sign Rooney, then I could care about him leaving even less.
Granted that he was on form last season... I'm not complaining!

[Rob]

Camara (according to the official site anyway) was at Molineux yesterday for more talks and will be at training on Monday. So I dunno :-\

Loan deal to Celtic?

[Mr. Monday Morning]

It's been mentioned in the press a few times, aye.

To be honest I don't know what Celtic are thinking more than anything else, Camara is not the man to replace Larsson :| But if they want to pay us to loan him and find that out we should bite their friggin hand off :D

[Oxstar]

Is anyone watching the Copa America final?

[Oxstar]

I can't believe Marc Overmars has retired, he's only 31, he was one of my favorite players :'( , I know Arsenal only sold him to Barcelona cause he had a bad knee.

http://www.skysports.com/skysports/article/0,,7-1144792,00.html

[Rob]

Arsenal were laughing to the bank when they over sold Overmars and Petit.

[Wengerland]

Nicky Butt is said to be close to moving to Newcastle for £2.5 million.

[Cactus Sid]

Woooo, Liverpool are signing ANOTHER Right Back :|

Never heard of Josemi, but he might be good....right? On the plus side, it would free-up Carragher's move to centre back

[Wengerland]

At least you beat Celtic 5-1 :eek:

Fulham have signed Pape Bouba Diop, good move again for them.

[LK]

Can't say I am too sad about Butt leaving

[LK]

Fulham have signed some good players. I think they are going to have another good season, as will Middlesborough. Just watched Sky Sports News and the players they have signed are quality and they have gotten rid of Ricketts.

[Doink]

Fulham have signed some good players. I think they are going to have another good season, as will Middlesborough. Just watched Sky Sports News and the players they have signed are quality and they have gotten rid of Ricketts.

:cool: it took some doing but we finally rolled ricketts down the A1 and left him in leeds!

think fulham will be a surprise package again this year! hopefully we will have a good season, dont know how we are going to play tho. i think mclaren will go 4-4-2 with Schwartzer, Reizeger, Southgate, Ugo, Quadroe' at the back. Then will have Parlour, Mendieta, Boatang, Zenden (if signs) in midfield with Viduka & Hassilbaink up front.

I wouldnt play this as with 2 forwards capeable of scoring goals, i would play Juninho just behind them, a) this is his best position, b) he will score more goals from here & c) he will make more goals from here. I would drop parlour to the bench to play the little fella or if zenden doesnt sign play him.

Juninho is the man and needs to be in the team if we want to succeed!

[Cactus Sid]

According to reports in Spain, Vieira has agreed terms with Real Madrid

[The Mask]

Can't say I am too sad about Butt leaving

I'm not gutted, but it really is coming to the end of an era for Utd.

That and I'll always remember the reserve match, way back when he was like 18 and i was about 8, when he belted the ball over the fence at gigg lane and smacked the middle aged woman just across from me in the face with it. She was talking to her friend about the inane pointless shit women seem to talk about, and it was awesome. The best thing was you could see he was trying to hold back his laughter as he asked for the ball back.

Nicky Butt, I salute you :'(

[Oxstar]

According to reports in Spain, Vieira has agreed terms with Real Madrid
If Vieira goes to Real Madrid, Arsenal will have no chance of winning the Premiership. If Vieira goes, Chelsea will become the favourites to win the Premiership.

[Rob]

Marco Van Basten got the Holland job today.

[El Capitano Gatisto]

If Vieira goes to Real Madrid, Arsenal will have no chance of winning the Premiership. If Vieira goes, Chelsea will become the favourites to win the Premiership.
Vieira didn't even play for large stretches of last season. He has been struggling with injuries for the past two years.

Thierry Henry is more important to them. Robert Pires too, when he shows the form he did last season.

If Freddy Ljungberg finds his form again, they'll be pretty much unstoppable again.

I'd take £30 million for Vieira at his age, and considering his recent injury proneness. Edu and Lauren could easily step into central midfield.

[Wengerland]

Vieira's the best at what he does but i agree with ECG about taking £30 million, with that Wenger can buy a good replacement and he rarely gets it wrong in the transfer market.

I saw the main linked replacement was Maniche, which could work as, even though he's more attack minded, they'd still be Gilberto there (most likely) to help balance it out.

Anyway champions league third qualifying round draw today (the one with Man Utd and Liverpool in).

Also, we've signed Joey Gudjonsson and Chris Makin.

[Ferocious]

Not a lot of Boro News Lately aside from we beat Notts Forest 4 - 1 in a friendly the other day. Hasseilbaink got two

[El Capitano Gatisto]

Vieira is already heading down the Roy Keane road of spending more and more time injured. He has a very troublesome knee injury that doesn't look as if it will ever clear up. He'll be struggling within a couple of years to keep the pace.

I don't think he has the big match mentality, either. If Vieira was half the captain people say he is, he would have had Arsenal winning important Champions League ties by now. Talented player, but I'd always pick Roy Keane ahead of him.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

The big match thing is a fair point...I don't think Vieira would have been able to drag Man U through against Juventus like Keane back in '99.

[Moonax]

I think we should run a book on which club is going to be the next Leeds.

[Frank Grimes Jnr]

Greening signed with West Brom for 1.25 million pounds.
I'd have to say that that is one of the best transfers yet. I believe Greening is underated and I still can't believe he didn't get a chance at Middlesborough even after he won their best and fairest.

[El Capitano Gatisto]

The big match thing is a fair point...I don't think Vieira would have been able to drag Man U through against Juventus like Keane back in '99.
Or drag the Republic of Ireland through a WC qualifying group that included Holland and Portugal, with some distinctly average players playing alongside him.

[Doink]

he did get a chance, first season he was average, second got player of the year and was apparently on fringes of england squad ( he did get called up for a training session) third season he didnt get a chance, when he did, he didnt do anything.

he is best in central midfield yet mclaren kept playing him on the wing.

greening will annoy you tho, if played on left wing,he will always cut back on his right before crossing and vis versa on the other side.

he has good energy and wont let you down, shame he's gone as was a good squad player to call on for us. o well we cam always call on 'the next roy keane' in mark wilson! :$

[Rob]

The big match thing is a fair point...I don't think Vieira would have been able to drag Man U through against Juventus like Keane back in '99.

Great point. I'm not Keane's biggest fan (mainly attitude) but there aren't many captains who control a locker room like he does.

[The Mask]

Jesus H Christ Rob, are you sure you're a united fan?

[Rob]

Why?

[The Mackem]

Nathan Blake and Mark Burchill are training with us.

[Rob]

Burchill is all potential and no ambition. If he did then he'd be one of the best strikers out there.

[The Mackem]

He's came to the right club then (if he signs).

[Oxstar]

My team Crystal Palace:nono:

[Wengerland]

BRILLIANT

Because we've got the Indian champions in our tournament this weekend it's being shown on an Asian channel on Sky, channel 829 :cool:

Nathan Blake...training with us.


Ahahahahahahahaha

[Wengerland]

Now he's left his trial at Sunderland the local paper says he could be joining us :$ :'( !!!

1 more week to the new season for us coca cola league clubs' fans :cool:

Leicester are buying everyone we show a slight interest in. Cunning little foxes.

[Wengerland]

First it was alright but the quality of whichever player you look at has gone down, next you'll probably look at some really bad league two player (or Michael Oakes ssssss) just to get us to buy him and look crap :(

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Who needs Super Michael Oakes when you have Ian 'Blind' Walker :roll: :rant:

[Doink]

Leicester are buying everyone we show a slight interest in. Cunning little foxes.

sunderland should do boro a favour and take downing and christie on loan either till christmas or for season. this would give them match fitness and also experience (for downing). christie would do a good job up front for you!

[Ferocious]

Christie couldn't do a good job washing his dads car for a tenner lol

[Dazz]

Amyone see the Kezman/Dacourt thing. It reminded me of how much I hate Dacourt, mainly for his kick at Robben but his reaction took the piss.

[Dazz]

Jesus, whats going on, Gudjohnsen scored for Chelsea, and then Cafu scored one hell of a goal, hit it first time from the corner of the box, great goal.

[yianni]

Dunno if any of you lads have mentioned this already, but Australian defender Craig Moore looks set to become the millionth (:roll: ) Australian to play in the Premier League, with Blackburn about to sign him. He'll join Australians Lucas Neil and Brett Emerton at the club. The fucking twats at Rangers stripped Moore of the captaincy then gave him the arse, all because he wanted to play for Australia at the Olympics. :nono:

Speaking of the Olympics, a friend of mine asked me if there will be an English, Scottish, etc side in the Olympics football or whether it will be a Great Britain side with a combination of all you British guys. I have no idea, anyone know?

[El Capitano Gatisto]

There is no British representatives in the Olympic football tournament, because of the structure of the FAs.

Plus, Craig Moore wanting to play in the Olympics is a joke. The tournament should be kept to youth players only. Professional, full international footballers should not be allowed to take part.

[Ogen]

http://www.skysports.com/skysports/article/0,,7-1146207,00.html

Paul Scholes has retired from international football at just 29. Must be some injury we don't know about or something cause I can't see why he'd do this otherwise. Thats England's best midfielder gone anyway ( and before anyone starts he is their best midfielder, Gerrard will be better but isn't yet. )

[El Capitano Gatisto]

He has had a few operations over the past couple of seasons. Maybe he is sick of the pissing and moaning that comes with his England performances.

Wow, I am shocked. Perhaps he wanted to go out at the top, quit whilst he was ahead, before Super Franky Lampard replaced him permanently.

[Ferocious]

I don't remember there being a British team at all in the Sydney olympics, though Ireland did participate.

[Rob Ban Fan]

<font face=verdana size=3 color="#ff6600">Thats a bugger about Scholes, we will miss him. He got a lot of stick about not scoring for 3 years but he was world class.

Sunderland sent Mark Burchill back. He's a coke head (allegedly) and has a piss poor attitude. Can't wait until he fucks off.</font>

[Skeletor2]

Real Madrid have agreed a £23m deal for Patrick Vieira according to Skysports :eek:

[Dazz]

Well, i believe it this time, only because of what Sky Sports just said, the radio station has a stake in Real Madrid, and they were the ones who announced the Beckham transfer, doesnt mean he is going, just means Arsenal and Madrid have agreed a fee.

[packt up]

Who gives a shit who sven fucks.

Newcastle really got me excited after Rangers then let me down with "Sporting club of Portugal" (anyone know why they don't like being called Sporting Lisbon!?)

Soccer means hitting a ball with your foot and it fits more appropriately .

Football means carrying, tossing,throwing. Also, what do you think they use to make a field goal? Their feet, which is very vital for the New England Patriots. But i'll take option b, thanks.

Youth players are still professional. All Olympic sports allow professionals now because that's where the crop of the talent is.

I dunno if he's any good anymore, but jesus christ, another Sunderland reject? :|
You can judge how good he is by this. We gave hima free transfer when we got relegated, he's still here. I think you are the first team to show a slight interest. His best days are behind him, a first division player at best.

[Dazz]

We let Mutu go on loan to Juve. :|

three of our most expensive four signings from last season are now loaned out after a season, and the other signing (Duff) has someone else just brought in to replace him. What the fuck is up with that.

Gudjohnsen was my least favourite Chelsea striker, and he's the one we kept, he is pure shit and he has an aweful workrate, won't even challenge for headers. :wtf:.

[Rob]

Did Juventus pick up his make up bills?

[Dazz]

I doubt it, Chelsea will be funding 100% of his wages (Porbably) so I guess we pay for all his other expenses.

[Wengerland]

I'm thinking Robben will play on the right if they're both fit, but it's a good move anyway, considering Duff's injury problems last year.

Bit surprised Mutu has been let out on loan, considering Mourinho was talking about 2 players for each position. Heard they had a bit of a bust up on that American tour though, so i can't blame Mourinho for kinda making an example of him.

[Dazz]

You'll hear alot of things, Mutu, Duff and Cole have all been rumoured to have said pretty much the same thing in the last month, but Cole and Duff are still there, it's bollocks.

Duff's injury problems are indeed a bitch, but I think we should have just kept Zenden, and played him when Duff was injured, and play Joe Cole out on the right wing.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Hey Dazz, have you seen the news aboot Kezman?

[Mr. Monday Morning]

You can judge how good he is by this. We gave hima free transfer when we got relegated, he's still here. I think you are the first team to show a slight interest. His best days are behind him, a first division player at best.

:'(

Having said that, I don't think he'll be a regular (I damn well hope not anyway)...I'm thinking it's more a case of Jo Lescott hasn't played for a year, so we absolutely have to have cover for him, cause he's probably not going to make it through the whole season without at least one rest period.

[Dazz]

Hey Dazz, have you seen the news aboot Kezman?

What the three match ban? It hasn't gone through yet because we appealed against it.

Please tell me there is no other news.

[Wengerland]

Pompey have signed Aliou Cisse from Birmingham but the Carrick move has stalled after Arsenal's interest, either way he's not in West Hams squad for tomorrow :cool:

Coca-Cola Football League?:|

WTF have i missed?

[toxic rooster]

They farked around with the names of all the lower divisions, because Coca-Cola took over naming rights from Nationwide Realty.

So now:

Division One = Championship
Division Two = League 1
Division Three = League 2

[deathtrap]

VILLA

[Dazz]

I did not, no. Dacourt deserved it, no doubt.

You got that right, it was disgraceful what he did, he literally booted Robben in the hamstring, and there was NO WAY he could have even been going for the ball.

Kezman's wife and kid have been kidnapped before, so I doubt he is scared of some south west London rent boy like you Harvey.

Coca Cola weren't in charge of the new naming of the league structure, the football league did it to add more appeal to the leagues.

And good to see Mutu staying :cool:. MUTU MUTU MUTU MUTU MUTU MUTU MUTU. But I doubt Mourinho will play him much.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

From what I've read Joe Cole is going to partner Gudjohnsen :| If it works fine but I dunno if Cole is suited to playing off the front man.

Leeds won :mad: and yeah Pugh looked quite decent, Joachim looked up for it as well. Aside from that though they look distinctly average, they might push for the playoffs but I'd be surprised if they get back up.

[Dazz]

Yeah I read that shit about Cole and Gudjohnsen, but I doubt it is true, it would REALLY piss me off if it was.

I would like to see us play Cole right wing, but cutting inside and stuff, and Gudjohnsen might as well piss off, he is a useless peice of shit.

[Rob]

Kezman's wife and kid have been kidnapped before, so I doubt he is scared of some south west London rent boy like you Harvey.

Aren't you getting a bit defensive now Mental Mantle?

Aren't you getting a bit defensive now Mental Mantle?

Perhaps, but with exception to when they cheat, I'll always defend Chelsea players.

Coming to think of it though, our teams pretty hard this year, Terry and Huth are hard bastards, Makelele is solid, and I wouldn't fuck with Drogba or Kezman. We'd do your boys in a fight anyday, Smith is the only hard person you have.

Kezman is the man, and he'd have you anyday Rob, end of discussion!

I beg to differ.

Roy Keane would take your hardest player and bite his face off. I'd put my money on Rio if he squared up to your Huth's and Terry's too.

:lol: your crazy, oh how I would love a good old fashioned scrap on the first day of the season. We wont have Kezman but you won't have Rio, we'd batter you. Remember when the Arse showed how pussy your players were last season.
