Not surprised about this at all. I had some dealings with Setanta just over a year ago and this was part of their business plan. They let it be known that they were going to be aggressively chasing the rights. Even if they're 'lower tier games', we're bound to be involved in some and it ain't gonna be cheap It'll be interesting to see how this affects their deal with NTL in Ireland, where the Irish version of the channel (incl. Saturday 3pm games) is part of the basic package for NTL customers. If you have Sky, a years subscription is something like ?150.

That's no way to talk about Houllier.

He used to be referred to as the Latvian Michael Owen. I don't know whether this is because he's quick or always injured.

It'll never work.

We tried to buy Owen in the summer and I don't think Rafa anticipated how poorly (relatively speaking) Morientes would adapt second season in. Cisse (when he can be arsed) plays like an over-excited Jack Russell. We've been over-reliant on Crouch this season and I don't think that was Rafa's intention when signing him. I'm no Crouch-basher by the way and was probably one of the few on here that didn't think he was a completely outrageous signing last summer. I saw him as a decent option to have then and I still do now, but we need more options up front, and hopefully this will be addressed in the summer.

I don't mind him, but he needs to discover the concept of brevity.

6/10 Valuable squad member. Offers us options. Needs to improve many aspects of his game, especially his heading. By default, found himself as our number 1 striker this season. Next year will be different, hopefully.

Why haven't we signed this kid yet?

I thought it was a bit strange myself. Unless Fergie plans on moving Heinze to CB and selling Ferdinand to wherever SGE takes over.

That would make my summer.
