He has a still-shiny UEFA cup medal, I reckon he'd cope just fine in Europe.

Alves is fast becoming a galactico - he's tearing the Spanish leage apart. I cant see him getting any cheaper.

Why would they do that, when buying aslves means they can stick an oar into our bisiness aswell? There's every chance they'll buy them both, because they can.

Being a diving, cheating, elbowing little c***, is all. But that's plenty. He scored a goal against us. Which makes him a c*** in my book.

David Dein, Wenger, van Persie, Eboue, Henry, Lehmann, Fabregas, Ashley Cole, Pires, Vieira, the list is ENDLESS.

It's an Arsenal prerequisite. You'd do well to identify anyone with even a passing invovlement with Arsenal that doesn't tick those boxes.

I wonder if Giles Barnes will be that midfielder - anyone seen much of him? I liek the idea of the fourth man for a position being a younger player, a young striker pushing for his spot and working his way into the team, ditto a young central midfielder and a oung centre half.

The Premiership is littered with them, though - Pennant, Volz, Bentley - even their failures end up in the Premiership.

I loved Henchoz. He used throw himself in front of everything. You can argue all you liek about technical ability, etc, but he gave everything for us.

Sevilla sounds like a no-go, then. Just seen that Betis have Barca at home on the 24th - would that be any easier? We'd be driving up from Malaga and booking a hotel for the night, so ideally I'd like to order tickets on the web beforehand, to be sure.

Figaro - sorry, quick off topic question, sorry for hijacking the thread- How easy is it to get Sevilla tickets? Planning to be in Spain over a weekend with two mates in January, and might take in a game, either Seville or Malaga- can they be had at the gates, or is there a website (in English) that I can order from, etc? Is there a decent site for fixtures, also?

Apparently, that "Pancake" character mentioned in them rumours is no more.

Ronaldo's everythign that's good and bad about football rolled into one. I'd like to smash his face in with a hammer, then carefully unsmash it, stick him in a Liverpool jersey and watch him go.

I'd be interested to see Crouch in the air versus Knight - just to see if Crazy Pete can actually jump.

Say we'll swap Warnock plus cash for Lucas Neill. Sad to see Warnock go, if it happens. Don't think he's quite good enough, but I like how he gets stuck in. Mind you, it is onl ythr Daily Star claiming it.

Then again, look at the likes of Sky commentators - Chris Kamara's amazement a while back when Agger "came out for the second half with a bandaged hand". Most of these f*****s do NOTHING all day. God knows, they probably spend their time pissing about on internet chatrooms or something. Imagine.

Presumably the modern version involves bobbing for mobile phones.

Yep. No axe to grind with the site or anything, just thought there wasn't the same level of banter there any more, and moved on. Indeed. He was a beast of a man. I once saw him kill a man from a thousand paces away with one witty comment.

He's badmouthed Barca far too much to ever move there now. They'll never bid big money for him either, and he's on a new contract now.

...is your answer.

The problem with playing a flowin, passing game with Garica is that the flowing and passing tends to flow towards the other team a bit too often.

You get a lot more slack when you'r etop of the league. Besides, he's their darling, and the media hate us. Rooney out of position (on the left, or in midfield) happens every feckin' game, never mentioned or criticised.

The good one, not the fat, disinterested one with the beard. Maybe a Bergkamp instead, then.

We need two game-winning, man-beating, goal-scoring, ball-flicking genius attackign players, basically. One wideman, one number 10. A Robben and a Rooney. *washes mouth out with soap*

Your figures for Riise, Pennant, Zenden and Goznalez are a bit generous. I think Bellamy will prove himself valuable for us. Kuyt too.
