agreed, we'll not get anyone better who plays in the prem or from abroad who'll then need a settling in period for that money clubs know our reputation from the past of paying over the odds for players and there's been a lot of talk about the amount keegan is going to get to spend and spending big on good players which could really set us up to get mugged for players who aren't as good as their final pricetag like him or not you have to be stupid not to think martins isn't one of our better players and they are the ones we need to keep hold of this summer and replace players in other areas like the midfield, Barton is looking better at the moment but we're still quite weak there and even though butt has impressed me he is getting on and we'll need someone capable of replacing him and geremi who just isn't good enough

Only recently like, and he has had more off field problems. I can see why he's considered a flop. a flop surely but flop of the season?

fucking hell where did that come from?

Barton a bigger flop than smith even? edit: in fact check out the comments, not one supporting the choice of barton as flop of the season

Think I'll become a Real Madrid fan, they've won it 9 times You liverpool fans call it "your cup" yet 3 of the 5 top scorers ever in the CL played for madrid and 0 of those 5 played for you the top 2 appearing players in the CL played for madrid and 0 of the top 5 played for you your cup? you wish

ballack close to giving chelsea another one from a freekick there

chelsea are a goal up

uefa said before the game yesterday that because of the money and work that's gone into the stadium in russia that they wouldn't move the final

or in other words "yes"

Just made that up? was told he was going off, he isn't apparently my bad

van der sar going off injured

which cruz would that be? Roque Santa Cruz. hmm, I'm not sure about this one then he's done excellent for blackburn this season obviously but prior to that he's been a crock for his whole carreer, we'd have to pay through the nose for him and he could well end up another one season wonder like mccarthy seems to have done

which cruz would that be?

Inter Milan for Mourinho shirley? barca if they don't win the CL I think sven to AC?

you'd think but we've dealt with a chairman like this in the past and we all know what happened there

what a contrast that would be eh? from svens philosophy on football to his

Ridiculous you say? Wonder if there will be loads of articles about how Man City fans are fickle and demand instant success. Have the Citeh fans been calling for his head like I we were with Allardyce ? no but there were plenty of articles about ashley expecting instant success too I'd call that a fairer comparison Don't get me wrong, I think its mad getting rid of Sven, but it seems to purely the actions of an owner who appointed him, I'm not sure if its a fair comparison with Allardyce who was appointed by a previous regime and then proceeded to fuck off the fans. good point it's just ridiculous

was going to mention it but didn't want to rub it in to much

Probably due to how shite he had been this season up until about 5 or 6 games ago. tbf to him though, that's been true of most of our team his problem is that he doesn't appreciate that he's not been playing well and thinks he's great shit attitude

Totally agree, sadly. me too because it's absolutely right sadly

what a ridiculous decision, i know he's spent a lot of money and they're not getting europe but they're still lightyears ahead of where they were and look at the football they've been playing too ridiculous

granted but his situation at arsenal is similar to that of senderos ie they were shit premier league players

richards, senderos, skrtel, agger, pique and samba are all around the same age as him and they are much better senderos isn't better and pique is slower than well he's just really slow senderos is amazing compared to taylor no he isn't he is like. taylor is equal to anton ferdinand and michael dawson not quite, I'd rate taylor higher than those 2 but not by much senderos can't tackle can't mark can't pass and has absolutely no pace, he's not even particularly strong suppose his form of late hasnt been great (when hes been playing) but imo judging from performances throughout their careers id say senderos is the better player the only thing senderos is better at than taylor is acting (ie "oh no the ball's hit my stomach, the pain etc etc" ) he was lucky to be picked up by arsenal and was used by them when they had no other options he's the new pascal cygan ffs is cygan not still playing for villareal who are currently 2nd in the league and above barcelona who have the best team in the world? hardly what I was pointing out but nice try at switching the subject
