Better than Quaresma!

Ahem, if you talk about Scandinavia as a geographical term, you should say that Finland in part of Fennoscandia.

If that somehow refers to Hyypia, and thereby constitutes a reason as to we should buy this CB, you are mistaken, since Finland is not a part of Scandinavia

Conveniently forgetting that our league form would have been a lot better if we hadn't had so many European games...

First name on my list too. Something to build a team around. But it's too difficult to pick individual players, it would be easier to pick 'defence from the late 70's' - 'current midfield' - '80's attack'. There are load of players I haven't seen enough of. Ron Yeats, for instance, is on most teams listed so far, but I couldn't pick him without giving him a trial...

Or scared s***less after hearing scary things about this lad Kvaresma.

Pure class, my a**. He can't be pure class if he's a complete a***** (I take it that there's one asterisk missing... you didn't mean to say 'artist', did you). You mean things like the classy two-handed poke on Danish defender's kidney area as they were getting ready for a corner-kick in front of the goal (the recent 0-0 international)? Not quite the Liverpool way that... He has such a short fuse that the treatment he'd get here would make him retaliate every other game and he'd be suspended half the season. Stay away

65! From the horse's (not the Ruud kind) mouth: "- Jeg så en statistikk som viste at jeg trengte 65 skudd for å score mål. Jeg får håpe det blir kortere til neste gang" We can only hope... PS. That must be the only statistic Kaizer has not provided...

And then he's suspended.

They well and truly deserved the point, mate. They dominated the last 20 minutes totally with one man down, while Iceland had their chances and blew their chances. The way I saw it, Iceland did not deserve to win and they didn't.

Too right, BUT one of the suspended matches should be the return game against us. We were the ones who were robbed and not the next four opponents!

He's denying any wrongdoing. Brave lad...

Surprise surprise, the guy in question is NOT French! He's a Spaniard by the looks of it, the name is José María García-Aranda. That's him singled out then...

I think I told this forum not to make a hasty judgement regarding him. At least I tried. Few listened...

He has been great, hasn't he? He looks frail, but he really seems to cope well with the physical game. And like someone said, his game is oozing with intelligence and he keeps his cool (even when he's stamped on) and doesn't take no s*** from nobody. Signing-wise he could be Rafa's Hyypia.

Copy. That's my top 3 as well.

Besiktas is from Istanbul

There was a rumour that his knee problems started after the sliding celebration in Barcelona. PLTBT, would be a prime example of poetic justice, non?

Seconded. With long flowing locks like Kempes and Ruben Hugo Ayala!

I like the new look! I certainly prefer the look of a rock band as opposed to that of an army battalion.

BUT, he also did score twice as many!

His heading was again abysmal and he had enough chances for a hat-trick. Definitely not irreplaceable.

Arbeloa Hyypia Kuyt

That's because they're your fellow scoussians, eh?
