It goes without saying that Alvarez is an immeasurably better finisher than Jesus, but to think he has the physical attributes that would lead to him posting 'nearly' 50+ goals per season returns isn't realistic.

Laporte hobbling around with his knee in a brace today. No chance he's playing again this season,

If people over 60 or with underlying health conditions don'r count, then Harold Shipman was innocent.

Agree with this. Welcome back Gelsen!

Don't worry. I'll miss the start of the new season but I should be back by before Christmas.

Did the match get abandoned after the pitch invasion that followed Law's goal? We'll have to do something about these football hooligans.

Gets my vote too.

With the possible exception of Hudson, I loved all of those players (obviously Rodney the most). Great entertainers all, Mckenzie was unbelievable - he liked to dribble past 3 or 4 then do it all over again! Mercer liked to pick this type of player during his short time as England manager but...

It's funny, I thought the people saying Morrison were taking the piss. I'm 52 and can only see Book and Kompany as genuine contenders. Yes, Morrison was a hard drinking big hard bastard who I daresay scared a few people. There's plenty like that in the lower leagues. Captaining sides to major...

He came on as sub for Fulham against us at home last year and immediately sent Zabba for the pies. I think he only did it once though!

Now only 11/8 to sign for us on Skybet, only slightly bigger price than to stay at Dortmund (5/4). Barkley's out to 9/2, thank Christ.

You make a very valid point. I hadn't thought of that!

I was sat near to Pellegrini last night and couldn’t help noticing at such close quarters what an utter shambles his hair truly is. It’s not that it’s too long for a man his age – heaven knows, I’ve been accused of that particular crime myself in the past. It’s the fact that it’s neither one...
