Ombudsam

It's as obvious as obvious gets that he's not leaving this summer. Maybe in two or three summers time he will. But having won the league and european cup a couple of times by then i'll not begrudge him. I will however let his tyres down so he can't get to the airport. I'd have Capello or Maybe Jewell if his upwards curve continues. In fact if his upward curve continues wigan will win the league next year and i'll reinflate rafa's tyres myself

i agree with your agreeing with me

he should have scored tonight but schitted out using his left he's a good player guti. just cos he's a fancy dan doesn't mean he lacks ability

that's almost word for word what ballague said. Just backing you up fyds cos at your age the memory is the first thing to go

There's no "arguably" about it. Although I haven't read the football guardian, I've no doubt that scousers get it worse for some reason it genuinely is open season on your city from absolutely everyone it's ingrained into the national psyche. I mean brummies, geordies (a bit) and those from the west country get it too but not like scousers. I hear/read/see it loads and i'm a Londoner whose ears won't be tuned to it as much as someone from the city. This is coming from someone who doesn't see why a whole load of people actively seem to seek victim status. I should say something on eto'o to keep this in the footy forum. He was rubbish tonight til the dullards went for him and he went back for them. Then he was ace and back to the form that should have seen him 2005 world and european player of the year.

as much as i want england to do well i'm made up benitez is turning the screw. I hope he does it more.

The only reason Cisse has any mates is because he gives them dodgy calculators. Anyway back to the point. You only have to watch Cisse to realise he is pap. You could say the same for other strikers at the club but this is a cisse thread so i'll say it about him. He's w***.

great answer

I think I largely get your point and sympathise* with it. But where you say I understand your sentiment but I also think don't think that all of those people who chanted at eto'o are what some would call them I doubt they are even all racist. They've found a way to get to a barcelona player but i don't think once they leave the stadium they find other races unacceptable. In that sense it is a problem that stays within football and within the ground. I just think it's c***. Anyway you've answered the questions I wanted answering which i appreciate and you also said more than once that you don't like the songs so I don't want to seem like I'm attempting to badger anyone into demanding the blood of those who've sung those song. *in the proper sense of the word.

well played wayne

maybe rafa just said he'd do it in his spare time BTW I can't see it happening anytime soon but do people still have that "they love us as much as we love them mindset"? If in may 2003 if i'd told you about the impending gerrard shenannigans I would have been right laughed away. Besides when was the last time you saw beni celebrate a Liverpool goal eh eh eh

It's his best role but being as we have no real RM and he's plsying in CM because of momo's injury then i'm not that pleased. But see where you are coming from great to have him back where he's best

First of all, sorry for what happened to your friend. Put the alan smith stuff to one side. It's not up there with the others. Personally for me it comes down to human decency. Maybe it's because i view a lot of things through an individualistic framework where the individual is responsible for what they do. I look at a human being and think how can you rejoice in the death of an innocent or at the very least someone who did nothing to you because they died in a tragedy? Which part of your humanity has switched off not to be concerned about the hurt it causes to those who remain or are emotionally attached. Twinned with this I also look at a human being and think which part of them can dehumanise and abuse another human being soley because of pigmentation. It's the same coin for me. I know you isolated racism as a societal ill and thus has greater ramifications and your point would carry more intellectual weight than mine, but for me i can't get past looking at a person who does either of those things and wondering how. I also accept i've never been neglected by the GMP.

Yes. About 2 months ago against bilbao. The zaragoza fans must have taken offence to it.

Parry's ideal signing

barca won 2-0 in the end with eto'o setting up the second and the monkey chanters of Zaragoza were left to mull over what to do with the rest of their oversized plantains. Why did sammy get so upset? Having no boundaries in football and chanting whatever you want while generalising about masses of people who you've never met is what makes the game great. *eagerly awaits the argument that revelling in the death of innocents is alright but racism is wrong wrong wrong*

Eto'os storming off and barca pen buried

Good point well made. Go get him rafa!

Which backs up what i said about his form. He was actually far dodgier when arsenal were on the 49. He's been good lately but he's still a mentalist if he applauds us or not

I've seen parker a few times this season and while he's been very good, he's been charging all over the pitch. Carrick's the one holding and he's impressed me too. The one who wants dropping from the england squad is Jenas. Get him out

don't rate him

I said when they bought him that we should buy him and leave fowler be. I was joking as i'd never seen him but i'll claim it if the lad continues to impress. Had a comedy miss v charlton

I started to lose patience with his villa performance but then he actually played v well v sasprissa and everton but that manc game... f*ck me

I'd just view a Kewell Owen/defoe partnership in the same was as an aimar Villa relationship. I don't think it's that left of centre to be fair. I wouldn't play it in every game because i like to see crouch out there but it would be my first choice. I don't think kewell garcia is comparable to a kewell owen/defoe as the latter two can get in behind thus leaving kewell to drop off
