Would be brilliant, wouldn't it. f*** the begrudgers. 10K a week, with time off to go round collecting the rent from all his tenants. Everyone happy (except 'match-going local fans' no doubt, as some Harvard Business School graduate will repeatedly point of)

God man Robbie. (pun intended)

Yes I would be extremely fu king bothered if we lost today. Sad to hear some of the comments here. It's still a fantastic tournament well worth winning. Especially with the League leaders being a long long way up the road and the European Cup phenomenonly difficult to defend. The best teams win practically every game they play. And what's more they go out to win every game they play. Approaching some games with a "sure, what of it?" attitude would be a dangerous mistake which I don't think Rafa or the team will make. I would think our fans are arming themselves with some food old fashioned manc smugness if we thought that.

I see that you are 'celebrating' with a little BLUE man Cobs. You just can't help yourself.

Without a doubt

Not following you there Chief... It's just my opinion of Cissé in this case.

Perhaps, but Kilbane is actually excellent in the air, to be fair.

He has played for Ireland at LB once or twice and far more often at RM. That f cking eejit Kerr would have done well to pick him at Left Back but for whatever reason saw fit to consider him inferior to Steven Carr and John O'Shea. Talk about signing your own death warrant.

I hear ya. If he played like Wed and looked like a proper footballer every week there'd be no debate and the money would have been well spent.

Evening Mr. Bates. Shoeshine?

Do you still think he'll go back to Brazil?

NYR, fair play for laying your cards on the table. All your posts on this matter were appreciated and it's to your credit that you stood by your word to your pal. I'd just like to say that you shouldn't be so glum. We won the European Cup last year. We're going to win the league ths year or next. Honestly, I don't see why there's all this fuss about 'needing' investment. Other than to satisfy a particular type of fan's masturbatory fantasy of us buying players for 30 million quid, we're doing just fine as we are.

How many deflections does he call on Frank "Looking good in 2006" Lampard?

I don't hear or believe that we are a force in 'British' football at all. I wonder who, if anyone, is a force in 'British' football?

Out on the town boozing with Raul no doubt. No better way to feck up your ligaments.

Imagine being as s*** as Everton, with their s*** history and their s*** ground, their s*** team and their s*** prospects. Then some 'wag' somes up with a 'funny' slogan, all their webistes are chuckling to themselves about this great 'putdown' they have for the manager of their local (only?) rivals and somehow Everton finish 4th in the League. You think the world is alright. The sun is on your back, things aren't so bad as they used to be. You have something to shout about. For about 5 minutes, then we go win the European Cup. Honestly, it must be really s*** to be an Everton fan. I almost feel sorry for them.

I might agree with Fyds if I knew what the Jaysus he is saying. Subhumed?

Heh heh!!!!!!!!!! (Actually made me yelp with laughter that one)

You haven't learned anything if you don't know that Rafa likes possibilities, not options.

You know, the idea has merit in that he'd do it no problem but then you had to go and say that..... Who would be the other performers at right back?

I've never played CM. Haven't a notion. And Finnan isn't going anywhere for a long time. Name me a better right back.....? (Seriously)

Is that what it was? After all these years.....

Martin Samuel wouldn't exist if the Sunday Times didn't exist which wouldn't exist if Rupert Murdoch wouldn't exist who wouldn't exist if Australia didn't exist which wouldn't exist if tectonic plates didn't exist which wouldn't exist if atoms didn't exist... etc What a way to make your living.
