A fantastic footballer and a brilliant captain, acted the way I like captains to act on the pitch!

How many bookings and penalty's do you think Momo would give away if he was playing Centre Back

Think it will be more like: --------------------Reina Arbeloa--------Carra-------Agger--------Aurelio --------------Alonso--------Mascherano Yossi-------Gerrard--------Kewell ---------------------Torres With Yossi and Gerrard interchanging and Arbeloa playing like a wingback i.e pushed up and supportin on the right. Then Gerrard is NOT on the right per se, but floating and do whatever he likes. Seem to remember Zidane having a similar role : playing where he bloody well likes. I do think we all need to get away from the best 11, beside in reality its 14 players that play. Sure we may start with: --------------------Reina Arbeloa--------Carra-------Agger--------Aurelio --------------Alonso--------Mascherano Yossi-------Gerrard--------Babel ---------------------Torres but by the 70 minute it starts changing and by the 90th it can become: --------------------Reina Arbeloa--------Carra-------Agger--------Aurelio ---------Alonso--------Mascherano ----Gerrard------- ----Kuyt-------------Voronin --------------Torres etc etc So many options that it means that we will probably never, finish a game with the same 11...never

P GD PTS 1 Arsenal 11 15 27 2 Man Utd 12 15 27 3 Man City 12 3 25 4 Liverpool 12 13 24

its early yet

Top 3 finish and to be still in the hunt to win the title around March. If we are in 4th place and 20 points away from the top by that time, I will start to question whether the club is moving forward. Its only Oct/Nov now and we are still in the pot for everything, so lets wait and see how we perform at the end of season.

Voronin's military training would kick big Peter's a***

Isn't there a radio phone in you should be participating in?

High horse? Not agreeing to sacking our manager in October is getting on my high horse? Jesus, the two of you are an embarassment this evening. Sad times

Calling for the Manager to be sacked in October is constructive criticism? WE ARE NOT FECKING BOLTON Has everyone turned 12 or something - ffs, grab yourself's together and sleep off your 2 bottles of stella and wake up in the morning to talk sense again. You are just embarassing yourselves and this site

Completely agree too!

Oh do feck off, will you Im not one of the ones who gets on your back on a regular basis, but that is a stupid post. High pressure game and 2 high pressure situations that he stood up and was counted. Hats off to him. Our superstar captain couldn't handle the pressure to take the first, so we should congratulation Dirk in stepping up!

Would we even need: Clemence Babbel Hansen Hughes Lindsay if these were playing: Gerrard Souness © Barnes Dalglish Rush Keegan

Im a big fan of Pepe and he is definitely up there. But its too soon to be comparing a player with (although fantastic) 2 seasons behind him against 2 players with nearly decades of service (Grobb and Clem) If he stays in the form that he is in for the next 2-3 seasons, then he will automatically stake a claim As for Gerrard, I honestly think he has started to lose his effectiveness based on his OVERALL performance over a season. He has too many inconsistent games for me and I was hoping he would develop into a player like Souness that could dictate play. Unfortunately he seldoms does it.

Heart says lates 80's, but the "weakness" of Venison Gillespie rule that out and I end up going with the early 80's side. Grobbelaar Neal Lawrenson Hansen Kennedy Lee Johnston Souness Whelan Rush Dalglish

Any mention of Riise at left back Surely worth a shout?

There's always one, isn't there

Another thread starting to move to slagging Riise off? Is this not getting boring now? Sure you would think that he is the only player at the club that doesn't play very well for weeks and then scores a wondergoal and on match of the day highlights is regarded as brilliant even though he hasn't done nothing else in the match....... but of course no-one would slag him off in the same way, eh?

Didn't the same thing happen at the start of last year aswell? Maybe they need to start the season in November and we can have Arbeola and Masch in their places in August, Sept and October

Was wondering when someone would mention Kewell. Im even losing patience on him coming back

I see it didn't take long for another thread about Owen, jesus give it up and let him rest on the treatment table inbetween games for his favourite team (England)

Ah ha! Another classic Figaro post. Post 2 lines and then expect another 10-15 posts from people asking him questions. The attention seeking transfer window holidayer strikes again!
