Obviously a world class keeper doesn't concede any goals, ever.

There aren't too many world class left backs around these days, I think.

Cisse was only ever meant to score goals. He was taught to hang around the halfway line and wait for a ball over the top, then use his pace to beat the offside and knock it past the keeper, that's it. Guy Roux wanted that type player to fit his counter attacking style, and Cisse was trained to be that player as soon as joined the club. To expect him to suddenly have a Dirk-esque workerate is a bit unfair. There were some games last season when he did put in a his fair share of work, and there were some when looked like he could never be arsed running after the ball again. Those games are why he isn't here any more.

Jesus, he was never that bad.

I like Riise, but he is the weakest player defensively in the back four. When he plays there, of course.

Deco is an excellent footballer, strangely underrated by a lot of people. But he is also cheating diving b*****d.

He's the new Figo, Portugal has new Figos like Argentina has new Maradonas though.

Seriously, are they trying to kill football?

I think Koeman could be a good choice, if he's not already at Barca (it's inevitable), when the time comes. Hopefully not for a long time though.

Navarro gets a 7 month ban.

I know he's a good player, but 'new Beckenbauer' that's just ridiculous.

Metzelder is the new Beckenbauer? Jesus, no wonder they're so s****.

I can't believe so many people are getting so wound up by so much f***ing b******s.

I'm not.

Not too far from the truth there.

Uefa says 43%/57%

I was thinking the same thing last night.

There seemed to be real bitterness in Brady's words last night, he's usually fairly even handed.
