Optimistic Nut

It's happened twice! How he's had two transfers for a combined fee of £3m when Milner & Jenas cost £10m is amazing.

Pint of whisky.

You'd love Bernd das Brot then if that confuses you...

How do you fancy your chances of making the Scotland squad?

He started wide on the right, then switched to the left late on. Ambrose looked excellent when he came on. Stead looked like a donkey upfront. Missed 4 or 5 decent chances.

Or do you run a fanzine for outdoor adventurers?

Milner had a very good game.

Well that worked. Got sacked after finishing 12th. Just taken over at Norwich who finished 20th, and have the full pre-season with them which could come in useful.

I think if we'd missed out on the Olympics we'd have stood a chance as it's unlikely the two biggest sporting events in the world would be given to one country in such a small space of time. (although the USA got the '94 World Cup and then the '96 Olympics so you never know).

Sorry, I thought it was you who had that thing with the teeth in his avator. So who was it?

Cheers! Unfortunately being a boring arse tonight because I've been at work until 7 and I'm back in at 8 in the morning, but got the whole weekend off for a change!

His last two English clubs he spent two years at Arsenal & two and a half years at Man City. If we can keep him for 3 years then I'd be happy.

I think my problem is I try to keep it realistic, and make signings from what my scouts have recommended or I've heard of. Try not to use the "Essential Players" list.

Are you going to Shearergol, or can I?

Either one of Bowyer & Jenas will leave. The other one will stay.

Boumsong (9.00) Given (8.00) Taylor (8.00)

Rooney was quoted in the Sun as saying he asked Ferguson about Owen, and he said no.

21 today. Woohoo!

Be careful!

It'll be shown on SSN probably regularly throughout this evening. Can someone please count the amount of times Bent & Defoe answered a question with "Yeah, definitely" and "obviously"? Did my fecking head in!

He was also in the Reunion Islands with Domi, Bernard & Robert for Robert's charity match.

Evening Chronicle reporting a £5m plus Robbie Keane offer for Jermaine Jenas. Also an interesting snippet at the end of the article saying Emre has been telling the club to go for van der Meyde.

Rooney has said that he asked Sir Alex if they'd be signing Owen...he was told no. Yesterday, Benitez said he wasn't interested in Owen, saying he wants a centre-back, not a centre-forward. We might end up with him by default! But we MUST bid now.

On Liverpool's NewsNow, that Woodgate & Owen are heading to Liverpool on a season's long loan deal.

To be honest, I think the only difference in quality between the two sides was they had Henry and we had Shearer. There's nothing to choose between the defensive & midfield units IMO.
