Who does everybody think could be the stars of the World Cup? - Aquilani could be massive for Italy if he is fit.

He doesnt know yet.

He has just started ball work, so I would hope maybe he could be on the bench for the Mancs, Sunderland will be too soon I believe.

Its Finnan, AKA - Gratty. David Price the boxer is playing Sami.

It was before Spurs away, they had a couple of days off, obviously he thought the best preparation for new season was by smoking and drinking in Monaco.

Light to be shed on the permatan. He had a 2 day cigarettes and alcohol break in Monaco recently. Absolute t***!

I agree, compare Babel to Benayoun. Yossi is not particularly quick or strong and definitely hasn't got a powerful shot, but he is ten times the player Babel is because he has a brain, heart and determination. 3 things that are more important than pace, strength and a powerful shot. I have never seen Babel cut inside and look for, never mind execute, a clever little reverse pass or a quick 1-2 to get through a massed defence, he just doesn't seem to have that in his locker.

8 is playing poorly, granted, that will come good though. Torres' attitude is worrying me, on the pitch he seems easily distracted and pissed off with whats behind him. Dirk will get stronger too, but we cant afford to have so many players struggling at once. Bolton on Saturday is huge now.

Front 2 were poor last night, Middle 2 aren't good enough to have that much of the ball. Kuyt has started the season horribly and Benayoun was off form. Cant believe Rafa is still bringing Babel on at all, never mind before Riera.

Rafa's favourite defender.

So would I. I am not convinced by Ngog at all, but I would rather he came on and had a go then let the chain smoking, long haired t*** embarrass us.

I didn't get on his case, I am now though, because you defended him when he doesn't deserve to be defended, at least Ngog has a go. Voronin doesn't care.

No, thats 2 incidents that we're bad, bearing in mind he was only on for 11 minutes, thats not a good ratio. His attitude is f***ing dreadful, he is fat and lazy and doesn't care about the club.

Well from the brief time on the pitch, when we were pressing late on, we had Spurs pinned back and were moving the ball looking for an opening, it went to Voronin and he chipped a woeful aimless ball through to their Goalkeeper. I also thought at the time that he could have been stronger for the penalty claim and just slotted it in, I haven't seen it on telly though.

You are joking aren't you? Nothing wrong? He is a c***, end of!

No, it worries me that he looks completely pissed off when he's playing. Them lofted 'passes ' from the back are a nightmare if you're a center forward. Lobbed up to him head height with big centre halves just waiting to smash him. It must be frustrating for him. He just seems pissed off with things to me, my opinion, thats all. Not nice to see Torres getting easily put in someone's pocket though.

He used to take plenty of s*** from defenders and give it back, lately he has been lying down, complaining to referees and most annoyingly, every single time he gets tackled he gets up limping. Every time. Its similar to that thing Heskey does and it worries me.

I am worried. He was f***ing abysmal yesterday,, sulking and moaning. Made a right c*** of himself, and its not like him. To me he looked frustrated with lack of service. His attitude yesterday was like a different player than the one of 2 years ago. Babel is just a s***house who needs to be f***ed off.

It doesn't make sense though, just because Ronaldo was a flash c*** doesn't mean he was a luxury. He was absolutely huge to them, I dont think Xabi was as important to us as he was to them.

Its not actually true that. I think he rang him to apologise the day before his wedding.

I am not that cruel, that was amusing though, ha.

Sorry, couldn't resist. He will be Ok for Sunday, just precaution.

Its totally snapped, booked in for surgery tomorrow. 4-6 months.

Even the best are wrong sometimes, I remember a Dalglish through ball where Ian Rush had to stretch for it once.......

Gary McAllister for one.
