There is also a mute button on most TV's try it, mind you no running commentary at the match and much better atmosphere (occasionally)

leave my daughter alone - she never misses a home game and a fair number of away games you armchair warrior

We not expect to pay in excess of £10m Wonder if Arsenal don't qualify for CL if Van Perse available or their full backs

1. Ribery 2. Cole 3. Silva Dream - Messi Likely - Lennon

According to Ged and Thomo it was because of his brothers

This is very true all the recent managers had quality local lads coming through the system McMamanan. Fowler Owen but with Carragher 31 and Gerard 28 where is the next local top class player. I remember Shanks dream was 11 local lads in team, yes I know it was noy achieved but what a great dream, but soon there won't be any

which ? "we were in control.."

Problem with that argument is Rafa got Keane whilst still hoping to get Barry. Barry compared to Alonso of last season would of been an improvement but with the rejuvenated form of Xabi not sure would of made such a big difference this year.

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and sounds like a duck some fans will still argue its a swan because Rafa bought it. Babel has been an abject failure (like so many others) and should be shipped out this summer

Another great excuse for poor buys. Yes /maybe Barry was his top target but Keane must of also been high on his wish list together with Dosenna. Maybe if he had gotten Barry he MIGHT not of wanted Riera but what is not in doubt is he wanted to sell Alonso if the price was right and based upon the vast improvement in Alonso's form how much extra would Barry of brought to the party this season. Every problem or mistake is down to the owners or Parry. Stop absolving the manager from any of our problems he has had over 4 years and all the players we complain about were his with the exception of Hypia Gerrard and Carragher who generally have been his best performers with the exception of Torres.

Xabi has scored 3 league goals in 19 starts Barry has scored 4 league goals in 27 starts Why would signing Barry have made such a big difference to this season The manager wanted Barry, Keane, Dosenna, Degan and Reira. He got all except Barry, but instead got a rejuvenated Alonso. poor summer buys cost us this season - simple as, coupled with overly cautious tactics and baffling substitutions

touche'

I know but I felt it worth repeating

Strange! its fecking weird
