[Dazz]

LOL thats great

[Rob Ban Fan]

2 - That arab bastard Southampton manager still has my Skynyrd CD.

<font face=verdana size=3 color="#ff6600">He does this thing with his eyes when he does interviews after the game, it freaks me out. Give him a slap for me when you go and get it back.

Also, after seeing that goal :'( Paddy</font>

[Rob]

I think I'm never getting it back.

[packt up]

The ref is now saying he didn't show Barry Ferguson a yellow card at the end.


Yeah apparently it was to Tugay like Dazz said.

Shame on me for thinking him seeing Ferguson kicking the ball away turning his head towards Ferguson who was about 2 yards away and showing him the card meant that he booked him :(

[Rob Ban Fan]

I think I'm never getting it back.

<font face=verdana size=3 color="#ff6600">Just turn up at the training ground when they have a press day or something and then stick your arm up and ask him for it back. Then watch him do that thing with his eyes. :'(</font>

[Dazz]

Yeah apparently it was to Tugay like Dazz said.

Shame on me for thinking him seeing Ferguson kicking the ball away turning his head towards Ferguson who was about 2 yards away and showing him the card meant that he booked him :(

Yeah if you see it Toogay is actually standing a few yards behind Dickov, it was aimed in a stupid direction, and like you sya, he gets the card out after Ferguson kicked the ball away. What had Toogay done at that moment that made him get booked?

On other news This Boro game is great, of course I am annoyed that JFH has rediscovered how to leather a ball, but seriously that and Quequeque's goals were great, as was Bergkamp, I fancy Boro 4-3.

[Dazz]

What the fuck, 4-3 to Arsenal now, Jesus chirst I hope everyone is watching this.

[packt up]

Holy shit @ the Arsenal game.

Typifies everything that is great about the Premiership and Arsenal.

[packt up]

This stat sums it up - 21 minutes = 6 goals :drool:

[Mr. Monday Morning]

ROFL unlucky Boro :'(

[Moonax]

Who do people think is the worst referee?

Ellerary was always a total cock.

Rennie is a nob.

[El Capitano Gatisto]

I was interested to hear Quedrue qualifies for Ireland. I hope Brian Kerr was listening, we could do with another left back, then we'll never have to see Ian Harte in a green shirt ever again.

[Dazz]

Mark Halsey is by far the worst referee.

[Danny Electric]

I was interested to hear Quedrue qualifies for Ireland. I hope Brian Kerr was listening, we could do with another left back, then we'll never have to see Ian Harte in a green shirt ever again.

Should be like American football, just bring Harte on for free kicks.

[El Capitano Gatisto]

Fuck that, we've got Andy Reid.

[Cruiserweight 3:16]

Can Arsenal now break Notts. Forest's record???

[Rob]

I was interested to hear Quedrue qualifies for Ireland. I hope Brian Kerr was listening, we could do with another left back, then we'll never have to see Ian Harte in a green shirt ever again.

How does he qualify for Ireland out of interest?

Is is like most of the others who qualified just because their grans used to drink Guinness? :p

[Rob]

Can Arsenal now break Notts. Forest's record???

Just a matter of by how much now.

[Moonax]

How does he qualify for Ireland out of interest?

Is is like most of the others who qualified just because their grans used to drink Guinness? :p

There is some rule that if you've played in any of the home nations for a number of years then you can be eligeible for any of the home nations.

Don't ask me how it works.

I think it means stuff like Di Canio can now play for England as well.

[Dazz]

Di Canio (like Cudicini) qualifies for an English passport, giving him a dual nationality, which is how he can play for England.

[Rob]

Ireland are not part of the home nations though.

And Di Canio can't play for England now because he left the country.

[Moonax]

A British Passport (no such thing as an English passport) but it means that he can play for any of the Home Nations.

[Dazz]

Ireland are not part of the home nations though.

And Di Canio can't play for England now because he left the country.

I am pretty sure one of the Irelands is, but I guess it would be northern Ireland.

And yeah I wasn't sure if Di Canio had gone, I am not up to date on that.

[El Capitano Gatisto]

How does he qualify for Ireland out of interest?

Is is like most of the others who qualified just because their grans used to drink Guinness? :p
A grandparent of his was Irish and moved to France. He qualifies to play through ancestry rules, in that case.

As far as I am concerned, Ireland should take advantage of those rules. Considering the extent of Irish emigration over the years, we've missed out on a lot of potential population going to other countries.

[The Mackem]

It makes you wonder how many people actually live in Ireland.

[The Mackem]

We need a few more Tony Cascarino's in the world.

[El Capitano Gatisto]

The entire island has about 5 million. People from the North qualify for dual citizenship and can claim an Irish passport and nationality.

There's bound to be millions more Irish around the world. Tens of millions maybe.

[Dazz]

We need a few more Tony Cascarino's in the world.

[toxic rooster]

Where'd he go? :$

[yianni]

My mate and I turn on the TV and the second half has just started with the score at 1-1 between Arsenal and Middlesborough. He went for a slash and by the time he came back it was 1-3, so he was pissed off that he missed some goals but saw another 3 in the next 5 or so minutes :eek: :y: Top game.

Rupert Lowe has just given the greatest excuse ever

"Media Pressure"

Who the fu</>ck runs Southampton FC?

[toxic rooster]

Probably Rob Ban Fan

[Cruiserweight 3:16]

Sturrock getting sacked is hardly a surprise. The big concern with this is that Premiership clubs will now be even more reluctant to hire managers from lower divisions considering how well Sturrock has fared.

[toxic rooster]

Was it mutual?

[El Capitano Gatisto]

Sturrock getting sacked is hardly a surprise. The big concern with this is that Premiership clubs will now be even more reluctant to hire managers from lower divisions considering how well Sturrock has fared.
Sturrock only had 13 games, for fuck's sake. Hardly enough time to fare badly.

Apparently the players didn't like his training regime or something. Pussies.

Rupert Lowe is a cock sucker, too. Always has been. He talks about media pressure, the stupid fucking cunt encouraged it by basically admitting Sturrock would be gone if he lost the match on Saturday.

Sturrock probably left because he got fed up being treated like shit by an arrogant cock of a chairman.

[The Mackem]

Daft thing is, if he stayed with Plymouth he might have been in the Premiership next season. Plymouth look like the suprise package of Division 1 this season.

[Rob Ban Fan]

<font face=verdana size=3 color="#ff6600">yeah, as ECG said, Lowe has always been a bit of a dickhead and it was him that told the local papers that Sturrock's "honeymoon perioid was over" which lead to all the pressure. Most scummers hate Lowe anyway because they feel he lacks ambition and is very tight when it comes to money. He refused to release an extra few grand to buy Javier De Pedro so they instead had to settle for Neil McCann who was shite. They also blame him for fat boy Beattie wanting to leave.

The timing is stupid too because he's allowed him to spend money over the summer and by the time they appoint anyone new, they're going to be stuck with the current squad until january.</font>

*stands up*

i couldnt believe that game, we were shit 1st half then got back into on half time. scored two fantastic goals then let bergkamp walk through us while we back off. then a daft minute lost us game. always had hope though, it was always going to have another goal before the end - just wished we'd scored the bloody thing.

it would have been good if parlours shot from half way line had gone in to make it 5-4 !

good game to watch for the neutral

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Where'd he go? :$

Di Canio? He signed for Lazio, who are 'his' club, so to speak.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Let's not forget Lowe also sacked Dave Jones when he was accused of whatever it was (child molesting was it? :$ ) - not just saying this cause he's now our manager but I couldn't believe that when it happened, particularly since Jones got them to 10th or so one season, which as far as I'm aware is the highest they had finished in the top flight in years until Strachan came along.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Oh yeah, Blackburn are attempting to sign Morten Gamst Pederson, who is the man in Champ Man.

And Robbie Savage has been charged with elbowing Kezman :love:

[Dazz]

Yeah as soon as Jones was accused of kiddy fiddling he was sacked, they didn't even wait to see if he was guilty or not, which is pretty out of order.

Glad Savage got the ban, he is a cunt, and anyone who says "you only hate him because he is good" is wrong, I hate him because he is a cheating cunt and deserves to be punished more often, he is not better then average.

And wee Gooner, that Mutu and Henry song is shit, Mutu had to be mentioned in the last line.

[Doink]

Let's not forget Lowe also sacked Dave Jones when he was accused of whatever it was (child molesting was it? :$ ) - not just saying this cause he's now our manager but I couldn't believe that when it happened, particularly since Jones got them to 10th or so one season, which as far as I'm aware is the highest they had finished in the top flight in years until Strachan came along.

correct me if i'm wrong, i think when they took the stance of sacking jones, it was to do with child molesting and was in the wake of what happened with greham rix at chelsea. I think jones was cleared of all charges, however soton sacked him for it thinking they were doing the right thing.

[The Mask]

Oh yeah, Blackburn are attempting to sign Morten Gamst Pederson, who is the man in Champ Man.

And Robbie Savage has been charged with elbowing Kezman :love:

Pederson is apparently a bag of wank. Our scouts have been watching him and he hasn't impressed

[El Capitano Gatisto]

He looked class when I saw him. Only the once, mind you. Certainly worth a try.

Andy Reid is far better though.

[El Capitano Gatisto]

Yeah as soon as Jones was accused of kiddy fiddling he was sacked, they didn't even wait to see if he was guilty or not, which is pretty out of order.

I think they actually suspended him indefinitely pending the result of the investigation, with Jones eventually leaving through mutual consent.

[Dazz]

I think they actually suspended him indefinitely pending the result of the investigation, with Jones eventually leaving through mutual consent.

I am sure he never left by mutual consent.

[El Capitano Gatisto]

Yeah I checked. He was suspended for 12 months pending the case, then he took Southampton to a tribunal for the suspension, but the tribunal found in favour of the club.

The club had a right to suspend him, but they were kind of transparent in the way that they obviously had no intention of bringing him back whatever the outcome.

[Doink]

Pederson is apparently a bag of wank. Our scouts have been watching him and he hasn't impressed

boro have had him on trial 3 times and were not impressed by him

[El Capitano Gatisto]

Doesn't mean anything. He's a full Norwegian international and he has done enough to garner attention from around Europe.

If someone like Blackburn are willing to give him a go, they will deservedly reap the rewards.

[Dazz]

Look at how well Blackburn did with John Stead, they know their shit. (Forgets Yorke and Cole)

[El Capitano Gatisto]

Sky Sports are reporting a £20 million bid for Wayne Rooney from Newcastle.

yeah i know it means nothing, a few years ago we had a young centre back on our books and let him go as he wasnt good enough, that same person has just joined real madrid for £13.4m!

he may have been injured while on trial, he may have been best player out there, who knows what goes on behind the scenes at clubs. ive only heard good reports though about him so all the best to the lad if he does move to blackburn.

[packt up]

LOL at us bidding for Rooney.

[El Capitano Gatisto]

Must be all that talk of hookers and brothels that got Newcastle interested in him.

[packt up]

He'l fit right in.

Seems like its just to appease the fans with little thought about our actual current situ - ie we have no defence with Ameobi and Kluivert on the bench.

Unless we play Rooney in defence or ship some strikers out soon its utterly pointless.

Should throw Dyer into the deal - he'd love that.

[Cactus Sid]

The whole Rooney to Newcastle thing proves once again that Fredy Sheppard knows fu</>ck all about football.

Mind you, that pretty much covers all chairmans, managing directors, board members etc...

[packt up]

Freddy Sheppard is a dickhead.

[Dazz]

Should throw Dyer into the deal - he'd love that.

Yeah its best that Dyer went the other way, or he'd "look after" rooney.

[Doink]

from what i've been reading i dont think rooney needs looking after!

i even read that with one of the prostitutes he gave her a £50 note and waited for his £5 change :rofl: what does that say about her performance ?

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Chelsea 1-0 up, Drogba off the mark

Is it me or does Lampard seem jaded so far this season? :-\

[Dazz]

Chelsea 1-0 up, Drogba off the mark

Is it me or does Lampard seem jaded so far this season? :-\

No, Lampard is as good as ever, people just expect too much of him now, it was his pass out wide to Baba, and it was a good un. He is still the man.

Joe Cole might as well fuck off if he doesn't realise that they are ten other people on his team. Granted he has skill, but not as much as he thinks.

P.S Check your rep sheet

[Dazz]

Well I was certainly glad to see the back of Joe Cole, dunno why he put on Eidur, and Drogba got injured :'(. Tiago did fuck all but scored a good goal so I guess I can't be mad at him, I can be mad at our fans for creating the worst song ever:

" TIIIIIIIAAAAAGOOOOOOO, OOOOOOHHHHHHHH,
He came from Portugal,
He hates the Arsenal,
TTIIIIIIIIIAAAAAAAAGGGGGOOOOOOO" :|

[Mr. Monday Morning]

No, Lampard is as good as ever, people just expect too much of him now, it was his pass out wide to Baba, and it was a good un. He is still the man.

That was Kezman's pass :o

And yeah, I saw that thing :cool:

[Dazz]

That was Kezman's pass :o

And yeah, I saw that thing :cool:

They look the same from the back and the number looked more of an eight :$

You can use all three, not just the one, I have two of them now, get the third tomorrow :cool:

[Mr. Monday Morning]

There's one per day, so there'll be 2 more after tomorrow :y:

[Dazz]

There's one per day, so there'll be 2 more after tomorrow :y:

i had to look twice when i saw the leeds goal, ricketts wins a header, the header was on target, hit the bar for someone to follow up and score.

what ricketts playing :?: ricketts jumping for and winning a header :wtf: there must be something in the water in leeds.


did anyone see the darlington goals yesterday? how unlucky was there keeper sam russell ? he makes a good penalty save and then the ref makes barnsley retake it for no apparent reason !

was i right in hearing that one of the players playing against liverpool yesterday was booked twice but not sent off (saw it on itv) what the hell is going on with refs at the moment?

[Rob Ban Fan]

<font face=verdana size=3 color="#ff6600">Did anyone see on Sky Sports News, what happened at the Plymouth vs Yeovil match?

Plymouth had a player injured and the ball was put out. Yeovil went to return the ball to Plymouth and hoofed the ball up the pitch to the Plymouth keeper but the keeper wasnt in his goal and the ball went in and a goal was given. Then they kicked off again and Stevie Crawford was allowed to walk the ball up the field, through the defence and into the empty net to make it 1-1 again.

Plymouth lost 3-2 in the end :$</font>

Something seriously wrong with Newcastle.

Awful bar Bellamy and Butt.

Fuck Rooney, Kluivert didn't even get off the bench why don't we just get 11 strikers on there.

Plus Bellamy saying that he would leave when he was the best player by a mile.

Milner looks like a turd and seriously Kieron Dyer *shakes head* was he even playing?! no wonder no one wants him.

[packt up]

Oh yeah and why the fuck would Rooney move to us when Man U are interested.

Unless he wants to be colder.

Get some defenders already.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Made £115 tonight thanks to Reading and Man U not bothering to score until the 2nd half :cool:

[Rob]

John O'Shea was rumoured this morning. He played his best game in ages today though for Man U.

Yeah O'shea would be good.

Dunno why you would let him go to be honest.

Probably need two centre backs in all honesty too.

im loving the way bill kenwright at everton is trying to say it's up to david moyles if rooney leaves.

what a load of bollocks, if they accept a bid moyles wont have a say in it. i just hope the everton fans dont believe this crack of shit and turn on moyles if rooney does go!

[El Capitano Gatisto]

I don't think Everton fans are stupid enough to believe that it's down to either Moyes or the board.

It's down to Wayne Rooney, in the end. He should do the decent thing and either request a transfer and forfeit his loyalty bonus, or come out and pledge his loyalty.

He's had all summer to do it. Now he's left Everton in a position where they'll have no time to re-invest his transfer fee.

[Doink]

i just didnt like the way kenwright was saying it was up to moyles, it was almost as tho he's trying to shift the blame away from himself

Moyes has said over and over that not only doesn't he want to see Rooney, he'd rather sell players to raise money if it meant keeping him. So you know if Rooney leaves, it wasn't due to Moyes.

Pretty good draw for Liverpool, Monaco won't be the same without Morientes (though still a good team) and Deportivo had to struggle against Shelbourne to get through. If they play to their potential they should go through.

Real vs Roma, Walter Samuel back against his former club :eek:

Bayern, Juve and Ajax in the same group :eek: At least one big team will be out by the end of the group stages.

Pretty straightforward group for Man United and Arsenal, can't see too many problems there.

Tough break for Celtic, though they did beat Barcelona at the Nou Camp last year, and Milan aren't invincible either. Larsson playing against his old club :eek:

Valencia and Inter should get out of G pretty easily

Mourinho going back against Porto :D

[Rob]

Abramovic owns Chelsea and CSKA Moscow and they are in the same group.

[Dazz]

Porto are now shit, they are not going past the group stage, and thats a garundamntee.

I swear their must be some unknown law from UEFA that either Panathonikos or Olympiakos must play an English team in the group stages, its always the case. (Unless I have a bad memory)

Balls. Porto are still a quality outfit. Made a couple of great signings this summer. Carvalho is a big loss, but the guts of that team still remains, plus they now have Diego.

[Dazz]

Deigo as in the Brazilian? Fuck me I am well behind with the times.

I don't think Carvalho was a big loss, I didn't think he was that good in Euro 2004, Andrelade is MUCH better, he made Carvalho look better then he is. Ferrairia is better then Carvalho. And they have lost Deco too, and if you don't think that Mourinho was a huge factor in Porto winning the Champions League then you are wrong. They wont amount to shit without him.

[El Capitano Gatisto]

Carvalho is fucking brilliant. Best signing Chelsea made. I've been a fan of Carvalho's for a couple of seasons now. He is in the elite of the world's defenders. Andrade is great too, alright, but Carvalho has it all.

And Porto pulled off the signing of Diego from Santos. I think he'll turn out better than Deco. I don't think Porto will challenge for the tournament again, but they'll be tough to beat.

[Dazz]

Yeah me and Mask often look out for Deigo when he played for Santos, and he was pretty good whenever I saw him. He will be the man.

[El Capitano Gatisto]

Cavenaghi signed for Spartak Moscow, apparently. About a month ago. Only just read about it yesterday.

[Dazz]

:eek: I didn't know that, he was River Plate's best player. He looks a right gayboy...

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Abramovic owns Chelsea and CSKA Moscow and they are in the same group.

UEFA are to investigate possible links between Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich and Russian side CSKA Moscow after both clubs were drawn in the same group of the Champions League.

European football's governing body will look into a £30million three-year sponsorship deal with CSKA announced earlier this year by Sibneft, the Russian oil giant in which Abramovich holds the majority shareholding.

UEFA communications director William Gaillard told the Press Association: "We are going to look into it and see whether there is a controlling interest by Mr Abramovich with two teams in the same group."

He added: "We have to find out whether it is a controlling interest or not. We may already have the facts to decide to dismiss it as a problem but it has to be looked into thoroughly."

Abramovich is a close friend of CSKA president Yevgeny Giner and was a guest in his personal VIP box in Moscow on two occasions earlier this year.

Under current regulations, no person is allowed a controlling interest in two clubs playing in the same competition but UEFA will have to decide whether the sponsorship deal counts as any conflict of interest.

Chelsea issued a statement in a bid to refute any suggestion of a conflict of interest for Abramovich.

"Chelsea is certain that UEFA and any other clubs in the Champions League should be completely unconcerned by this matter," the statement read.

"The situation is very clear. Mr. Abramovich is the owner of Chelsea Football Club while Sibneft, a company in which he is one of many shareholders, is the shirt sponsor of CSKA Moscow.

"Mr Abramovich has no equity stake or any direct financial interest in CSKA."

[The Mask]

apparently bellion might be a makeshift in the rooney deal :eek:

it's strange being a united fan, one minute you're down in the dumps, and the next they sell forlan, and swap bellion avec cash for rooney.

Now we just need a better midfield.

It's a shame really, cause giggs keane scholes and beckham a few years ago was the best midfield in the world, and I always thought that. Swap Beckham for Ronaldo and it'd still be great minus the creativity. Only thing is Keane's winding down now and he isn't the player he once was, and Giggs doesn't seem to give a fuck half the time.

[The Mask]

Rooney has agreed terms for 50 grans a week

[The Mask]

</>

[packt up]

Rooney demands transfer.

Guess he'l be a Man U player by the weekend with apparently either Kleberson or Bellion going the other way.

What Ferguson ever saw in Bellion is beyond me. I remember he came on when we beat Sunderland at home which i was at and was the worst player I'd ever seen. We cheered his every touch.

Then Man U were interested :|

He wouldn't get in the current Sunderland side I swear.

[Moonax]

United don't need Rooney what they need are 4 non-carthorse/crackhead defenders.

Ferguson can't play Rooney, Smith, Saha and Van Nistelrooy in the same line up. United will (if they sign Rooney) end up like Real Madrid last season.

They'll also have two of the most hypocritical players in the league in their team in Rooney and Smith. I hate all this badge-kissing I love the club bullshit.

[El Capitano Gatisto]

I think United will be more like the 98/99 season, when they had Cole, Yorke, Solskjaer and Sheringham. Top teams need 4 world class strikers, not to mention that Rooney is 18 anyway, so if they let him get away now, they may not get an opportunity to sign him in the future. See Alan Shearer scenario.

Besides, Newcastle have even more strikers: Ameobi, Bellamy, Kluivert, Shearer

And they really need a couple of defenders.

And the interest in Bellion came from him going to the same football academy as Anelka, Henry, Saha etc. which is well known for producing class players.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Some more transfers and rumours doing the rounds:

-Everton to sign Djimi Traore from Liverpool for £1.5m (I'm sure Sid is laughing his ass off at that one)

-Arsenal said to be interested in signing Valencia's Migel Angulo

-Citeh said to be interested in signing Mido from Marseille after Wanchope completes his move to Malaga

-Celtic have apparently failed in a loan bid for Saviola :eek:

[deathtrap]

Saviola's off to Monaco

[LK]

So much for Rooney loving Everton. I really don't see the point in wasting 25 million pounds on a player who is far from the finished article. Smith, Saha and Ruud are all much better players plus Solskjaer who is one of the most natural finishers in the game. The only way I see this working is if Fergie tries to develop Smith into a midfielder.

[Wengerland]

haha the tribunal for Gareth Williams ordered us to pay £500,000 with some add ons about promotion and the like.We offered them £750,000 in the summer but they turned it down :o Mind you he has been crap so far.

:( @ Wolves probably having Lescott and Murray back tomorrow. They could also be getting this South Korean forward.

[Moonax]

Mind you with Rooney, Smith and Keane the red cards should keep on coming.

I guess you do need 4 strikers if 2 of them are going to spend most of their time suspended/being sucked off by skanky Scouse whores.

[Rob]

They'll also have two of the most hypocritical players in the league in their team in Rooney and Smith. I hate all this badge-kissing I love the club bullshit.

How is Smith a hypocrite? He did everything he could for Leeds and openingly admitted he was leaving if they went down. He never said who he was or wasn't signing for and since he came to United, he hasn't kissed our badge.

[Moonax]

If he loved the club as much as he says he does then why did he not stay and try to help the club win promotion? He didn't, he left as soon as he could in search of a big fat pay day.

[Rob]

If he loved the club as much as he says he does then why did he not stay and try to help the club win promotion? He didn't, he left as soon as he could in search of a big fat pay day.

No he never. He left to better himself as a footballer. Playing for a team who are regularly in the Champions League and challenging for honours helps that. Funny how he is right back in the England team now too. Would he get a game for them playing in the 1st division?

And even if he did leave a club he loved when they went down, how does that make him a hypocrite? The guy said he was leaving if they went down. They went down and he left. How does living up to your word make you a hypocrite? I guess he was a hypocrite when he refused his £500,000 signing on fee Leeds owed him and he was perfectly entitiled to just to help their financial troubles.

[Cruiserweight 3:16]

How is Smith a hypocrite? He did everything he could for Leeds and openingly admitted he was leaving if they went down. He never said who he was or wasn't signing for and since he came to United, he hasn't kissed our badge.

How about the fact that he was asked on Soccer AM once 'Which club would you never play for?' and Smith's answer was Man Utd!!!

[Rob]

How about the fact that he was asked on Soccer AM once 'Which club would you never play for?' and Smith's answer was Man Utd!!!

Well that's a valid reason. People are entilted to change their minds though.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

:( @ Wolves probably having Lescott and Murray back tomorrow. They could also be getting this South Korean forward.

Lescott will probably (hopefully) play but I dunno about Murray...I'd say Jones and Oakes were ahead of him right now just on fitness, I really don't know who our definitive first choice keeper is right now.

Naylor might also be fit (although I hope not cause I'd rather have Rob Edwards there) and Sturridge should be fit, though Leon Clarke might keep his place (tbh I think he should, he's done very well considering he hadn't played a senior game before this season).

Carl Cort is nearly back but without match practice he can't play :(

[El Capitano Gatisto]

If he loved the club as much as he says he does then why did he not stay and try to help the club win promotion? He didn't, he left as soon as he could in search of a big fat pay day.
Actually Leeds said Smith would be sold whether they stayed up or not. Smith said he would only leave if the club went down.

[Moonax]

How about the fact that he was asked on Soccer AM once 'Which club would you never play for?' and Smith's answer was Man Utd!!!

I have no problem with players leaving for the money but don't talk about how much you love the fans and club if you are going to take the biggest paycheck on offer.

[Cruiserweight 3:16]

Valencia have won the Super Cup

[The Mask]

Remember that time Alan Shearer turned down United to play for the club he loved too?

oh yeah. ahahaha.

Looks like Kluivert took the same path too :love:

[Rob]

Remember that time Alan Shearer turned down United to play for the club he loved too?

oh yeah. ahahaha.

Looks like Kluivert took the same path too :love:

Kluivert turned us down in 1998 for Barcelona. We bidded £9 million and he said he wanted to fight for his spot at AC Milan. A week later, he left for £8 million. By Christmas, Man United has knocked Barcelona out the Champions League on the way to winning the treble. :love: :love: :love:

[packt up]

And the interest in Bellion came from him going to the same football academy as Anelka, Henry, Saha etc. which is well known for producing class players.

Yeah except you can see the difference in quality. Henry was quality at Monaco, Anelka at Arsenal and Saha at Fulham. Bellion was a piece of shit at Sunderland.

Bellion isn't deserving of licking the shit off Henry's boots.

[packt up]

How about the fact that he was asked on Soccer AM once 'Which club would you never play for?' and Smith's answer was Man Utd!!!

Yeah what he said ^^^

Everyone knew he was going to leave.

Saying you would never join your arch rivals and then engineer that you do as soon as the club goes down makes you a hypocrite.

[packt up]

Holy shit at Man U.

Good Assist there Louis with your hand.

Remember that time Alan Shearer turned down United to play for the club he loved too?

At the end of all that fair play to Ferguson to say the goal shouldn't have stood :y:

*grudgingly*

[Rob]

Apparently Wolves are about to sign Ibrahima Babayoko and WBA have agreed a fee for Robert Earnshaw.

Yeah I heard that on the local radio...first this South Korean striker now Bakayoko, I dunno wtf Dave Jones is doing when we desperately need strengthening at the back. Fortunately Jo Lescott from listening to the commentary is back to his awesome best :love: but we need more than that, since Craddock is shit.

Arca's sting in the tale

http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/40001000/jpg/_40001256_arca270.jpg

Arca joins a long and strange list


Sunderland defender Julio Arca has entered the pantheon of bizarre footballing injuries after a jellyfish stung him on the chest.

The Argentine was concluding a training session on the beach with a swim in the North Sea when he sustained the injury.

Arca suffered an allergic reaction and was admitted to hospital after initial treatment at the club training ground.

Speculation is rife as to the type of Jellyfish, with a Portuguese man-of-war among the favourites.

Sunderland club doctor David Gough said: "It's difficult to say what type of jellyfish it was.

"The fact that he has had such a reaction makes you think it was not the standard type found off the English coast.

"Occasionally you get Portuguese man-of-war jellyfish in these waters; and with the turbulent tides seen in recent weeks that is possible.

"Either way the treatment is the same and he'll be fine. The only difference is that if it was a man-of-war he might expect pain for 24 hours and a rash for up to a month."

Gough added on the club's official website: "We don't know if he'll be fit for Saturday, we'll be in a better position to say on Thursday."

The incident happened off Seaburn beach in Sunderland and manager Mick McCarthy admitted: "You certainly can't plan for this."

But Arca is far from the first footballer to by hit by a strange injury.

Watch out - these fellas bite

Spain goalkeeper Santiago Canizares missed the World Cup in 2002 after dropping a bottle of aftershave on his foot.

Likewise goalkeeper Dave Beasant, who damaged ligaments in his foot after knocking over a bottle of salad cream.

Chelsea keeper Carlo Cudicini injured himself reaching for the remote control and Rio Ferdinand injured himself simply by relaxing with his feet on a coffee table.

But one of the most remarkable must surely have afflicted Brazilian star Ramalho, who was in bed for three days after swallowing a suppository intended to treat a dental infection.

[packt up]

The ref for the Newcastle game is full of shit. So is O'leary. Yellow card my arse. Seriously how can the ref even argue that is beyond me.

Having said that we are shit - but totally different story if the rules are applied.

[packt up]

LOL at the Man U added time controversy.

If you think you Man U fans have it rough off the FA and the rules etc why don't you check that out.

[Rob]

That's pure bullsh</>it. There was no proof of Ferguson telling anyone to change the time. And even if he did, it's the officials fault for doing it and should be punished for it.

Sorensen should have gone in the Newcastle game. I'm glad he didn't though since he is my fantasy football goalie.

Didn't support and English team at primary school. Saw United get whooped 5-1 from City and felt sorry for them so picked them. Still go to QPR games though.

[Doink]

yeh it was, the only good thing is there are no adverts!

same old same old tho, always the 'bigger teams' getting on first so the real fans have to wait til 5 to 12 for 1 clip of a goal for their team going in! :mad:

[Rob]

So because we support the big teams, that means we aren't real fans?

There is a reason why the bigger teams are on first. More people want to see them. Why do you think Arsenal, Chelsea, Man U and Liverpool are on Sky Sports every week?

Bobby Robson is officially out of a job :-\

[yianni]

:eek:

[Rob]

Alan Shearer is going to struggle hard as Newcastle manager (because you know he is being groomed for the spot) and it's going to be hilarious watching it.

[Pathetic]

Nah, I doubt he'll be the new manager, Newcastle are stupid. But they aren't THAT stupid. But you're right, if he was named the new manager, it would be hilarious.

[LK]

So who do people think will be the next Newcastle manager?

[Rob]

Houllier or Shearer. They'll try to get Steve Bruce but he won't go.

[CSL]

<font color=white>Back into that 'shit manager' stage for Newcastle again then</font>

[Rob Ban Fan]

<font face=verdana size=3 color="#ff6600">poor old Bobby :( Wonder if he'll be looking for a new job.</font>

[The Mask]

Houllier

:wtf:

[Cruiserweight 3:16]

The way Freddy Sheppard has treated Bobby Robson is a disgrace. If it wasn't for him, Newcastle would probably be in the Championship by now rotting away. Robson saved them when they were truely fucked and turned them into one of the best teams in the country.

[deathtrap]

Remember Lombardo as Palace boss?

[Dazz]

How often are penalties for the opposition given at Old Trafford?

Today Everton apparently had a clear cut penalty appeal turned down.

Also Houllier has been reported to be lined up to replace Robson until the end of the season with Shearer as his number two, and then Shearer will take over full time after this season. Mind you, thats just a rumour.

[Rob Ban Fan]

<font face=verdana size=3 color="#ff6600">but why would Houllier accept that? Surely he'd want a job that offered him something more long term than the end of the season. And surely most managers would like to be able to pick their own staff, rather than be told Shearer will be #2.

I dunno.</font>

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Pompey :love:

[packt up]

Bobby was treated like shit and I think we should have given him more time even though its been like absolutely diabolical really. I have no idea who I want in but I know I don't want Venables and I don't want Shearer. No one really springs to mind. Bruce I would be happy with but I doubt that will happen.

Its a sad day.

Oh and btw Pompey fans = best everrrrrrrrrrr.

Excellent game between Pompey and Fulham

Bruce apparently can't leave for less than £5m that the Birmingham board put in as a clause in his contract or something.

I think they might try and go foreign again.

Looked like an accident to be honest from the replay, it looked like the guy's dad got kicked in the head a couple of times and was bleeding, so its understandable why he pushed Volz away.

[Cruiserweight 3:16]

Apparently, Sir Clive Woodward might become a football manager. He's supposedly keen on the idea, and the F.A. might possibly fast-track him so that he becomes the England manager after the 2006 World Cup finals. Southampton are rumoured to be interested in him

[Wengerland]

Woodward should come to Leicester, seeing as he played for the Tigers :o

[Wengerland]

Not too many moves completed today, i didn't see a couple from yesterday mentioned though so: Pompey signed Diomansary Kamara from Modena for £2m, Callum Davenport went to Spurs for £3m i think, same fee West Brom paid for Earnshaw.

Pompey signed some midfielder called Valery today, so no more messages about us having Nalis and his girls name please RBF :'(

[El Capitano Gatisto]

Porto are signing Luis Fabiano, apparently. Crazy.

[Wengerland]

I guess Tevezs' move to PSV will be off after his performances at the Olympics, he'll probably go to a bigger side.Would have been a bargain at £7m had it gone through.

[El Capitano Gatisto]

Never heard about that one. I knew Bayern had a bid rejected, and Spurs were supposedly making one.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Dave Jones took some flak on the local phoneins on Saturday night and rightly so. Lescott and Murray are by far and away the best defender/keeper we have, everyone else is f</>ucking useless, goddamn Sunderland rejects :foc: Oh, except for Oakesie, he's decent.

Oh, and don't feel bad Wengerland, you were lucky to get away with a point against us :rant: And Brighton winning also netted me £25 :love:

From what i heard we should have killed you off by half time, scored about 3 by the break i mean and then you wouldn't have come back... :'(. 2 goals disallowed and Nalis hit the bar too though :foc:

Jordan Stewart took a lot of flack in the East Midlands phone ins, mainly because of his set piece deliveries.Dublin was terrible too though.

We've got a run of 6 games now which i think we should be taking near enough maximum points from and after that its Coventry away and they're not unbeatable.

[Wengerland]

Bit of Italian news, Cannavaro's gone to Juventus for £7m plus Carini, who Juve never play.They're also close to signing Ibrahimovic from Ajax, so two pretty good moves.

Rudi Voller's taken over at Roma too.

[Rob]

Contra went to WBA too. Another good signing. They look real strong now for the relagation fight.

Diego Forlan scored last night! :love:

[El Capitano Gatisto]

Porto have signed Luis Fabiano from Sao Paulo.

[Cactus Sid]

So, Rooney to United.

They don't need the fat bastard, but hey, what the hell, I think it'll be great when Everton fall apart, and United realise that maybe he ain't as he good as he's made out to be.

[The Mask]

you would, you fake skaus cu</>nt

[El Capitano Gatisto]

Rooney is as good as he is made out to be. That much is true.

[Dazz]

Firstly, I thought under new rules the maximum length of a contract was five years not six, not that it really matters.

Secondly, :eek: at Porto getting Fabiano, he really is the man and if he continues playing the way he has for club and country there is no way he wont move on to better things. anyone whose watched Brazil's matches in the last few months will tell you how good he is. Good move Porto :y:

Yeah I heard nothing about Tevez's move, but he is another class act who has proven not just for his club but for his country that he is the man.

We've got Wigan next :'(

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Am I the only one who thinks Deco is overrated? I just remembered from watching Barca on Sunday he seemed pretty lightweight and didn't deliver much...maybe I'm having a bad memory day though.

Barca looked very strong though, Eto'O, Giuly, Larsson (even though he looked a yard off the pace), Motta, plus Puyol at the back...they're gonna go close.

Real looked a bit average :-\ Although Beckham when he got the ball looked pretty impressive...he even ran past some players :eek: Owen looked sharp as well, got caught out by a shitty pitch though :o

[Rob]

I think Deco is useless personally.

[The Mask]

Deco is wank, yes.

[Rob]

Palace have signed Nicola Ventola and Gonzalo Sorondo from Internazionale.

[Wengerland]

Was Ronaldinho playing? If not, why not :'(

I think Real will seem better when Woodgate and Samuel are back in, Owen had a few chances and Zidane should have scored too, so they're not looking too bad in that area, considering the pitch was crap.

That's another point actually, Newcastle haven't signed anyone to replace Woodgate :o

Was Ronaldinho playing? If not, why not :'(

I *think* he had a minor injury. Can't remember exactly but they definitely made mention of a reason why he wasn't playing, he wasn't dropped or anything :$

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Jay Bothroyd has gone to Blackburn on a years loan from Perugia.

Dwight Yorke is talking to Celtic and Birmingham

I'll be interested to see Bothroyd since he was meant to be hot shit when Perugia signed him from Coventry a few years ago. Haven't really heard anything of him since :-\

Rooney was about £22 million too much.

Yorke chooses Birmingham over Celtic

Newcastle are kind of screwed now aren't they. No manager and they have no replacement for their best defender.

[El Capitano Gatisto]

Deco is a good player, Wayne Rooney will be worth the money and Jay Bothroyd is shit.

[Doink]

Bothroyd has apparently done well for perugia, by this i think he made the bench on the odd occasion.

so what are man u going to do now, with ruud van nis, ole, smith, saha & rooney ?

we all know that ole gunner prob wont recover from his knee injury (which is a shame as is a good player). so this leaves ruud,smith, rooney & saha.

saha will be the new whipping boy (as in easy one to drop) so either man u will play with 3 up top or will make one of them into a midfielder in my opinion. i think he will groom smith to replace roy keane and go with rooney & ruud . if not i think he will play rooney just behind smith and ruud.

what do you guys think will happen?

Boothroyd was meant to be a sensation for Perugia after scoring quite a few goals but as MMM said haven't heard anything since.

I can't really see much changing, i can't see any of Giggs,Ronaldo,Keane and Scholes missing out when they're all fit so it's if Sir Alex goes to 3 at the back of Silvestre/Heinze, Ferdinand and Gary Neville to allow for 3 forwards.Solksjaer's season is already over anyway and i think he'll be used as back up for right midfield when he's fit, he did enough there when Beckham was having problems with Ferguson.

They had a similiar problem with Cole,Yorke,Sheringham and Solksjaer when they were in form about 5 years back and did the same, rotating every so often.
