WTF is up with Sami? Don't think I've ever seen him this bad.. looking slower than ever, misplacing every header and seems literally lost.

Agree with the above post. Neill is a t*** and I wouldn't take him even if I was paid.

I don't think he's lazy. Admittedly, I haven't seen much of him in Bundesliga, but when he plays for Germany he makes good runs without the ball and has a decent work rate. I don't think that would be a problem.

I would prefer Klose over Kuyt, but I won't be disappointed if we end up signing Kuyt either.

If City sign Isaksson I can't see them sign Dudek as well. And if they did, it would be a bad move for both of them..

Isaksson's very good. I'm surprised that bigger clubs aren't in for him anymore..

They had set the date to August 2nd, and when I checked two or three days ago it still said August 2nd and a free supporters set. I was looking again last night and then it said July 28th 5pm, for kit-only orders and to UK addresses only. Great. They need to be prepared for this, to move the date five days forward without notice like that is very bad manner. I had been thinking about buying one but figured I didn't have to hurry yet, now I will have to look elsewhere and won't get that supporters set.

Basically says that the match on Saturday will go ahead as planned despite the rumours, that Pennant could make his debut and that Liverpool was in negotiations with Feyenoord over Kuyt last night according to The Independent. The fee mentioned is £10m.

I'm happy that it will be aired up here, as it looks like there won't be any coverage on the e-season.

That's what I want to know. Why am I still reading this thread?

Klose is class, way better than any other striker we've been linked with. I'd be over the moon if we signed him.

Lindfield looks class, best player on the pitch so far. Great goal and has made quite a few good runs that has resulted in good chances. One for the future for sure if this display is anything to go by.

It's not just that. They have made some quality signings in the last few years and have a good manager. I'm a bit afraid of them tbh.

Yep I have the same. And some very, very quiet sound that don't seem to have anything to do with the game.

I'm not wrong, and you aren't either. In a question like this, you can't be wrong. It's all about opinions. I don't like defensive football, you do. Simple as that. A football match doesn't need to include superb goals. All that is needed for a game to be good is high tempo, excitement and two attack-minded teams. There hasn't been much of that this far, and I doubt that the last 2 games will be any different. The tempo issue might be because of the weather though. WC98 was way better, and even WC02 was better, although it was nothing special. Basketball is the worst sport on earth btw.

Sorry, but I just can't find this sort of football entertaining. If I watch a game between two teams that I couldn't care less about, all I want to see is goals, dribblings and beautiful attacking play. There hasn't been much of that in this WC. The fact that I dislike all teams that reached the semis aren't helping either.

Crap tournament. Defensive, negative football plagued by cheaters and bad refereeing. The only teams that constantly tried to play positive, good football were Germany and Spain, the rest can f*** off.

Wouldn't surprise me if he retires after the next euros. Can't see him playing when he's 30 if he keeps getting these injuries.

The argies played like crap. Just like in all their other games apart from the game against S&M.. The germans are the most exciting team left in the WC, I want them to win this now.

I like him, and think that he's got the potential to be fantastic for us. If the choice is between Alves for something like £13m or Pennant for £3.5m I'd choose Pennant every time. His wages would probably only be like half of what Alves would have been as well. Good deal.

Crespo got the goal, and I think that he just got a toe on it in front of Borgettis head. Difficult to see, but it looked like that from one or two angles.
