good. he's been absolute gash

i'd like to see chelsea win the champions league. i can't understand why he's getting such a hard time. it seems crazy that a manager with a great record would get the sack because he lacks the charisma of his predicessor - i can't see why else he would lose his job tbh.

Spot on. actually, the media often underestimate what the players actually earn. You do talk some shite Dan. whatever man Give me an example then smartypants. Talk to the hand etc. well i know for a fact that luque was on about double what the chronicle was reporting. that's why it took us so long to shift him and why he was so comfortable sitting on his arse for two years topping up his pension fund

Spot on. actually, the media often underestimate what the players actually earn. Really? yes. if you knew a premiership agent, you'd know that some of the wages that even average players earn are ridiculous. most of what is reported in the tabloids is guess work and often way out - both higher and lower.

Shut up you cock. I wish we had no foreign fans me, especially this cunt.

Transfer fees quoted in English tabloids are always mental and probably even make foreign clubs believe they can demand those prices. A couple of weeks Deco was rated to be worth 15m quid in the English press, but only 8m Euro (!) in Germany when linked with Bayern. that's cos we've got loadsamoney

i'd disagree there. i think barton is a very average - he's slow and doesn't score goals.

i think bullard would be a canny signing. he's probably the best standard english player we're going to attract these days. i'd take him over a dodgy johnny foreigner sniffing a final pay day. agree it would be disappointing if he was the best of our summer buys but he'd certainly be an improvement on the likes of smith, geremi and barton in midfield.

i would say man u/scousers is a derby. the towns are pretty close to each other and the mutual hatred goes back years

21. meh. your bog standard 3 out of 5. not offensive, just predcitable mindless fun

why not stay down the road in islington? more expensive, sure. but quite a pleasant place to stay, unlike kings x which is a total shithole.

bizarre

Barnsely and Cardiff this season have shown that ANY team can have a chance of winning the cup. Yes but the universe NUFC are in would see the year we get the semis being drawn against Chelsea, with the winner getting either Man U or Arsenal. You should know this by now. Tsk tsk. This season was a freak, might be 20 years before one of the top 4 don't win it again (look at our recent finals, an in form Arsenal and a rampant Man U). I was just thinking it actually is 20 years since one of the 'usual suspects' (i.e. Liverpool, Everton, Chelsea, Spurs, Arsenal, Man Utd) didn't win it when Wimbledon won but even they it was the Champions v a team that came about 7th or 8th iirc. I can't remember it ever being like this year though. Last time one of the 'top 4' wasn't in the semi-finals was 1987. Coventry, Spurs, Watford & Leeds back then. The Coventry v Leeds match was a classic IIRC. the final was a belter too. who can forget the keith houchen flying header?

keegan's optimism since our mini revival is infectious and i'm already starting to look forward to next season with each post match interview ....but what can we really expect from next season? another season of rebuilding or should we be challenging for top 6? after the last couple of years, a top half finish would be a good achievement but with the right investment, i don't see why we shouldn't be challenging the top 5. the gulf between the top 4 and the rest is still massive but there's no reason why we shouldn't be able to compete with the likes of pompey and everton. ...what do you expect from next season? more disappointment and consolidation or are you getting drawn in by keegan's optimism too?

we should be doing everything we can to keep him. young, pacey left sided players with his ability don't grow on trees.

Not replacing them properly fucked us. i guess owen was bellamy's replacement and n'zogbia was supposed to be robert's long term replacement. agree that neither have had as big an impact on the side as their predecessors

i think it's downward spiral coincided with one of the writers leaving. it's a bit of a geeky show but i loved series 2-6 and the books are well worth a read.

Me either. They should have done it in colour as well I thought. are you sure you've got the right film here alex?

that's one of my favourite ever films. the 15 minute intro is priceless in itself. definitely the cohen brothers' best work - they're at their best when they do comedy imo

i thought ashton looked a canny player but he seems to have stalled a bit at west ham. i'd rather we went for a more mobile front man now

i wouldn't want to rely on viduka as our main target man next season. he's a good option to have in the squad but i think we need a younger, thinner and more athletic front man to partner owen and martins next season. someone in the drogba mould who can lead the line on his own when required to.

i wanted to hurt most of them too tbh

all fizzy drinks are rank. you may as well eat a cup of sugar
