Whilst i'd rather he didn't go to Chelsea, the prospect of Shevchenko in the premiership is rather mouthwatering.

Anybody watching SoccerAid on ITV?
Pretty annoying stuff, Maradona keeps getting the ball and laying the ball on absolutely perfectly, he hasn't wasted a pass yet, yet they haven't mentioned it ![]() |

Liverpool ace Mark Gonzalez has been thrown out of the Chile squad for a breach of discipline.
Gonzalez and Reinaldo Navia were axed from the squad by Chile coach Nelson Acosta after breaking rules during their European tour. The pair were sent home from the trip after the coach caught three girls in their rooms 24 hours after their friendly win over Republic of Ireland. It has also been reported that both players were drunk, but Gonzalez has protested his innocence and insists he and Navia did nothing wrong. "There has been a misunderstanding. As you can see I am famous in this place and three girls came to ask me for an autograph so we went up to my room and then we stayed there talking," said Gonzalez. "Suddenly Acosta arrived and he didn't like that I was there with these girls. "On the other hand I want to say that it's not true that Navia and I were drunk. "That is something invented by someone that wants to make trouble." Chile captain Luis Jimenez revealed the rest of the squad did not agree with Acosta's decision to axe Gonzalez and Navia. "We don't agree with the decision of Acosta but we have to respect it," said Jimenez. "This has been something very hard for the team and I hope that we can recover from this as soon as possible." |

Gonzalez
![]() Of course, this is where he slips below the "70% of games" rule and doesn't get his work permit. So you know, if that happens and someone firebombs the home office you know where to look |

I dunno about this guy but about 20 references sprung up to some Brazilian called Kerlon signing for Man Utd.
411 have a link to him doing the 'seal dribble' - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6Yj7GoXPZw Anyone know anything about him? |

Hes the next big Brazillian thing and that seal dribble is rediculous once he gets it on his head hes guarenteed a free kick he just can't be tackled fairly so he does that near the box and hes either running through or getting a dangerous free. Gets the utter shit kicked out of him every week doing it.

You then won the second leg, where the only things worth remembering are Ronaldinho scoring easily the best goal of the game, which probably left you crying into your pie thinking "we'll never get anyone half as good as him" and then John Terry blatently fouling a Barca player before getting the winner. I also remember that then you went on to fail to score against Liverpool for 180 minutes and spent months crying about a goal where the ball clearly crossed the line by an absolute mile (after your big dodgy Czech keeper had cynically tried to pull down Luis Garcia in the box.) I think Liverpool went on to win the champions league that year, for the 5th time, a feat Chelsea have yet to do. Still, you beat them in the league cup eh (thanks to a Gerrard own goal) ![]() And i am gonna have to think about this one for a while...fluke goal away to Blackburn...or winner in the champions league final...HMMMM, well, i think Belletti JUST edges that one. Now Dazz, stop it. I think I have just about proved that Belletti is better than Glen Johnson. Although thats not difficult, its like saying winning the lottery is better than having hot cooking oil thrown in your face. I'm sure you have some referees to be making death threats against for making perfectly acceptable decisions, so i'll let you get on with it. Also, did you see Zola miss that open goal and fail to score past Jamie Theakston? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

England striker Andy Johnson will complete his £8.5m switch from Crystal Palace to Everton on Wednesday.
The 25-year-old is likely have a medical on Monday or Tuesday before signing a four-year deal worth around £40,000 a week. FOR FUCKS SAKE |

![]() Between, John Motson, Mark "I don't know if I'm Irish or English" Lawrenson, Alan "fucking turncoat" Hansen, Ian "Michael from LOST" Wright, Lee Dixon and Gary Lineker, their comments on that blatant fucking diving from that cheating little scouse cunt as well as their pure bias made my stomach fucking turn. For anyone English who every questions why the Scots, Welsh and Irish fucking hate this team and don't understand why after this then you never will. Despite that, as an outsider looking in, here is my honest opinion on that team. - David Beckham is BY FAR the best player in that team and yet half the country is aching for him to be replaced by Aaron Lennon or Walt from LOST, oh sorry, Shawn Wright Phillips (when he is around). He was the only English player who bothered showing up in the first half and yet they spoke about replacing him at half time. - Holding midfielder debate. MAKE UP YOUR FUCKING MIND!!! Stop playing people out of position. Do Brazil, Argentina, Italy, etc play people out of position just to accomadate players (minus the Del Piero thing at the last World Cup which failed also)? Owen Hargreaves got 45 mins in his natural position for England for the first time in forever and does anyone think that for fucking constant abuse he gets is helping the guy? Funny how everyone mocked Phil Neville for years and yet he should be walking in that team right now. No, not Michael Carrick. Goes back to the thing about playing people out of position. Had that turnip head had enough sense to play people in positions before now, we probably wouldn't even be having this discussion. - Theo Walcott = Not good enough. You probably wouldn't have noticed this listening to the BBC team last night who talked about him like he was Pele. My brother (the Arsenal fan) was giving me the "he is only 17" argument a minute ago. BULLSHIT. He is old enough to pick up thousands of pounds a week and to play with the big boys so he is old enough to take abuse. He hasn't showed me anything in the last week other than he has a bit of pace which I already knew. Feel a tad sorry for him because he isn't good enough for the Premiership (or he'd have played by now) so how can he be good enough for the World Cup. - Get Jermaine Defoe and Phil Neville in the squad ASAP. Rooney isn't goona play so adding Defoe goes without saying at this point but Neville has to be in not just for the midfield role but to cover his brother at right back since they obviously haven't thought about Gaz getting hurt until now. - If I were English, I'd be praying for Alan Smith right now i.e someone who can play holding midfield roles and is a proven striker is who isn't a midget like every other choice other than Crouch. |

To be fair you can't hold every English person responsible for the BBC being shit. I don't know anyone who thinks the licence fee is value for money. As for Ian Wright...well, he makes me wish for Jamie Redknapp. Yeah, digest that for a moment. There's no question Beckham is the best player in the team but in the last few years his form slumped badly, at least for England, compared to what it was. Around 01-02 he was pretty untouchable. But he was voted midfielder of the year in the Liga, and that takes some doing when you look at who plays there, so if he can stay fit and in form we'll always have a chance of some big lunk like Campbell actually not having a goal disallowed (although he probably used up his one against Barca) And the whole Walcott age thing is ridiculous, just like it was ridiculous when people were using Rooney's age as an excuse when he was going barmy and losing his head every other week. I'll say the same thing now that I said then - when did you ever hear anything like this when Michael Owen was that age? |

The commentators and analysts were proper getting on my tits during the game yesterday, Jesus.
Motty: "Did Walcott play with Crouch at Southampton?" Lawro: "umm....yep" Motty: "well he definatly did, out of all the people on the pitch he's the only one he played with." No he fucking didn't, Crouch left at the end of the 04/05 season and Walcott didn't make his debut until the 05/06 season against Wolves, they never played with eachother once. And the way they all fucking attributed blame to Hargreaves for the goal. "He should've closed him down quicker." he was about 40 yards out for fucks sake, every so often players are gonna pull goals like that out of their arses but not often, and its hardly his fault. True he's done fuck all in an England shirt, but as you say its cos he's never been played in his prefered position, but I honestly think its harsh to blame him for that goal. |

![]() I dunno if they'd even have spent that much time in training together, since Walcott was part of the youth team that got to the youth cup finals that season, so presumably he'd have been training with the accademy still. Plus he used to be a winger but Harry Redknapp converted him to a striker early last season, so I dunno if him and Crouch would've exactly been strike partners anyway. But the point is Motson and Lawrenson are cunts. |

Looks like Joleon is on his way. Now I'm not a Wolves fan but living like 10 minutes away from Molineux, I do have a soft spot for 'em and would really like to see them do well. It's just that after this deal goes through, they are well and truly stuffed. I feel that they're gonna slide into mid-table obscurity unless they change stuff real quick, starting with 'Oddle. |

No shit.
We basically need half a team. If we get £5m for Lescott, and Reading are stupid enough to spend a couple million on Seol, we might be able to get a decent core together to add to what we have. I don't trust Hoddle to spend the money wisely though. Nor do I trust Moxey to actually give him any of it. |
