Bootle Buck

Arsenal's scout in Africa must stay busy. They have at least 6-7 African players in their first team squad.

Only this man can save the day

They really are a disaster of a club. Unbelievable how they still get fans to come watch them after their top brass continue to feck the club up completely.

The Mancs are taking it really seriously this year. Maybe they figure Glazer won't know the different between the trophies and the soft barsteward willl be happy with the Milk Cup.

I watched an interview with him on SSN the other day and he was asked about returning to Liverpoool. His first comment was "I never expected to leave Liverpool" Did I miss something or was he not the one who decided the Real Madrid move was a "once in a lifetime" deal. I have always been a big fan of MO but at times would prefer he tells it like it is rather than trying to keep the angelic presence he exudes in the media. Before he left he held the club to ransom with his "I need CL footy" comments and "I will go were I can play on the highest level" Fast forward a year and what is he doing signing for Newcastle Utd. A team beaten in the Intertoto Cup and facing another seasopn of mediocrity. His former club has just won the trophy he wanted to play in so much, yet coulsn't be strong enough in saying Liverpool is the only club for me. I think MO would have been a tremendous addition to our squad and would do so well with Crouchy. However, we can't have the Owen circus disrupting the club every summer. We have moved on and will get better, if MO wants to play for Liverpool so badly he will do what it takes. If he just wants to be close to his mansion then he can enjoy the chopper ride every day and battle for an intertoto spot with the barcodes.

Sounds like Moro is happy for Crouch to do all the work.

I guess Chimbonda must have been outstanding in Wigan's 5 straight losses. Wheras Finnan has been gash as we have not conceded a goal in 10 league games.

The Barcodes signed MO as a "Lifesaver" and to appease the fans. Could you imagine what will happen if he was to leave now. They already have started building the statue for when he breaks Shearer's goalscoring record. I think Mickey will be there for a while, unless we aggressively try to sign him, and I can't see that happen.

Thank Feck George Bush isn't a commentator. He would have a field day with those names.

They have always said they will only buy players they need at the right price. It's called smart business. As for Spurs and Newcastle buying all kinds of players please see Leeds circa 2001-2002.

It's been a very tough week for Rafa and I am sure the frustration of losing given the fact we battered them led to his comments. It's unlike him really but again given the circumstances if this is what he actually said then I think we can understand his emotions.

Who wrote that his Agent, Mother or the MLS as they try and squeeze every dime out of his name. The lad has great potential but certainly isn't the finished article. It would be foolish to play him in this WC as he just isn't at that stage in his very young career yet.

I hope he gets a great round of applause and then watches in awe as the "Post Owen" Liverpool pick his Barcode team apart. Also I hope we parade the CL and World Club Championship (if we win it) right before the game. Wish I could go to the game as a Huge banner reading "I have to play Champions League football " would have been well and truly displayed.

Let's hope they play like that in the Derby. On paper we should hammer them but........... It is a Derby.

He commited to Barca before Mourinho was a glint in Abramovitch's eye.

Wigan desperately need a new keeper. Both Filan and Pollit are schidte. It has made a big deiffrence against the big clubs. Goalkeping errors have cost them big.

I'm sure Mourinho will be interested.

The lad isn't good enough at the moment. He did nothing in the U-20 WC recently and has by no means even got a regular place in his club team.

Sao Paolo looked a very average Brazilian team. Now I knoiw why they finished so low in their league. Obviously they will be more up for a big game with us but they looked very beatable espoecially their slow CB's. We may use Cisse in this game.

I think Keane's ability is a little overstated at times. In the past few weeksthe media has made it sound like he won the trophies in the 90's single-handedly. He's passed his box to box days so I see him becoming somewhat frustrated and Real Madrid's slackness will do his head in. He's be kicking the shet out of anything in sight. Utd will do well to snag Graveson. They need him.

Watch him play he unsettles the CB's and therefore creates opportunities for his team mates. He set up Solano nicely on Saturday and has helped Owen. Unfortunately he is wasted with Ameobi upfront who is absolutetly schite.

Around the CL final Baros's agent spurted off about him going to Valencia and from that point on he was finished at Anfield. I wonder if he regrets that decision or was he destined to be out the door anyway. He hasn't set the world on fire at Villa yet, although they have been pretty woeful. t*** of a new do too

He's fecking great. Reminds me of the 60's and 70's type of player. It's atough game and he certainly can mix it up with the best of them. I would love it if we had a CF like him.

Getting rid of Beckham hasn't proved to be too useful a deal either. They have won Feck all since he left.
