West Ham, don't know when.

Not happy with this at all. Obviously if Pako got too big for his shoes then he has to go, but it really does come at a very inconvenient time, when everything seems to be going well. Would hate for something like this to rock the boat.

Why the feck would Real want Riise? Then again, why the feck did they want Heinze?

Restraining. Order.

I really like Beardsley, one of my favorite past players. Barnes, Aldridge and him were signed by Kenny the summer Rush left for Italy, and all three were truly magnificent that season (87-88). Interesting that he labels Voronin "different class".

Kewell is ALWAYS injured. Unless we get to a cup final, that is. Still like him, though.

I agree.

Bloody hell, Pat, your summer holidays get longer every passing year ...

Dave Usher claiming that de Miguel will be Rafa's new asssistant manager.

I hate Chelsea, Mourinho is an annoying, arrogant git, and I dream about smacking Lampard and Terry really really hard, but anyone but the Mancs.

We played some really neat football tonight, but it really was men against boys.

Tragic news. RIP Antonio.

What he said.

What he said. Don't want Baptista either. Very inconsistent, and did not show whilst at Arsenal that he can adapt to the Premiership.

What he said.

I don't think its a question of pace, rather more an issue of decision-making. He keeps cutting inside a lot rather than taking his man on the outside, consequently slowing down.

In England, you cannot transfer a work permit from one employer to another. That means that although he could continue playing for Middlesborough, he cannot play for anyone else in England without reapplying for a new permit. Its absurd, but since its Everton, its also funny.

Exactly. Hardly his fault that for all of our possession we couldn't actually put the ball in the net. Also, you can never allow for the sort of goal we conceded just before half time. I hate thinking about Athens, because that night we really should have won No. 6, and you never know when we will have another chance like it. No wonder Rafa hasn't been able to sleep properly since.

Me neither. Is he any good?

No he wont. Del Nido, that is.

Not another one ...

I bet Kaizer still prefers Quaserma.

I think that Rafa sees him initially as a winger, but longer term as a striker. As good as Crouch is, he is not an ideal partner to Torres, who is clearly first choice, and I doubt he will be too happy as a squad player with the occasional start. If we get a good offer then I would be inclined to sell, use Babel as a striker, and take a risk on Quaserma.
