Could I have it then?

Fabio's is definitely better on the ball than JAR. But then again, now that Djimi and Salif is gone, who isn't?

Rafa always making his substitutions at 65', 75' and 80-85' (bar injuries)

Remember him having great games v Chelsea in the CL semis. Also played well in the final. He should never ever play left mid again mind. As for a fullback we could do a lot worse.

Is that the forum's official Parry smiley? Here's what I think will happen. Rafa has been given a rather slim January transfer budget, say somewhere slightly below 10m. He'll offload a player or two (think Rafa will make it clear to Momo he's not in his first 11(s) ==> Momo pisses off to Spain somewhere). Then Rafa will try to sign a good attacking player either a winger type or a striker, in which case one of our current strikers will be offloaded (Crouchy?). Howabout that?

Wicked letter that

Agreed. Title and artist anyone?

Did we ever play Matteo on the wing??!! Jaysus!

I was thinking Daniel Agger, making the extra tattoo even funnier.

As for strikers my firms stance is that Fernando/Dirk is our best partnership. It seems to me we've played the our best games against the best opposition with them at the top. It is very probable that the game agains man u will be one with a lot of pace and counter attacking. In which Crouch is pretty useless. If we don't atomize these I'll go f***ing nuclear!!!!

Must say this one game in hand business is making me cringe. When the hell are we playing that west ham game? Official still has it down "to postponed". It was four frekkin months ago!! How hard can it be rescheduling a bloody football game these days?

Gerrard Torres Arbeloa

Not that losing Carra is for the utd game is ever a good thing but isn't it likely we'll have the Dagger back for that one?

grooming our new star centre-back I suppose

It's official, Rafa opted to start with 11 players today! Reina, Arbeloa, Riise, Hobbs, Carragher, Gerrard, Mascherano, Sissoko, Voronin, Torres, Crouch. Subs: Itandje, Hyypia, Kewell, Kuyt, Babel

Yet funny how he didn't bother playing for Poland during the qualifiers but was happy to sit on the Real bench and make money. All of the sudden he wants in on the Euro glory. If I had been the Polish manager I wouldn't have him back. If I'm not mistaken the current Polish keeper isn't too bad either.
