I quite like this idea The FA Corrupt? Biased? Incompetent? Wonderful? Your Choice

Surprised he never got another club. He got a lot of slating on here but there are/were a lot worse left backs running around playing then him. I can only assume it's because of injuries, only wanting a PL club or maybe he was asking for too much money (1 of the 3) because he was certainly good...

This always confuses me, the new owners spent £300m on the club & pumped in another bunch of cash on players. What do they get out of it? I suppose they could admire the trophy room with its 'istree but surely at some point they are going to want some cash back - like £350m minimum or at the...

Well, they need to make up the cash from missing out on the CL from somewhere, every little £170m helps........

Re: Tevez - Khaldoon tells it as it is! I'd be gobsmacked if the PL upheld his appeal, they would open a complete can of worms for any club if any future footballer wants to leave a club. He can just bugger off on holiday and continue to get paid until he forces the club to sell him. It would...

Taking this to it's (il)logical conclusion, the club may get a bit suspicious in 2100 when they have a 140 year old renewing his season ticket (maybe even a little earlier :p)

Re: Tevez - Khaldoon tells it as it is! The sheikh should have a word with his brother-in-law. Get him to ring up Berlusconi and say if you don't sort your shit out we'll pull every penny of Abu Dhabi cash out of your fucked up country and watch it go down the shitter. Would be an interesting...

In reply to the OP, fuck NO We should be highlighting every offence against Balo - we should be asking for protection for him before every match just like Wenger does for his little darlings or Ferguson for Ronaldo back in the day. We should be counting up the fouls received by him in every...

Re: He's Coming To Take Him Away Personally I welcome an agent opening his fat gob (for once). He's saying stuff that everyone knows is true but are scared to say it because of FA sanctions. Webb is lying through his teeth, just like that other twat with Adebayor. We're getting yellow cards...

Lets face it, setting up an offshore account in Monaco using your dog's name for the account has to be dodgy as sin. What honest person does something like that? If I was on the jury just that bit of info alone would be enough to convince me he was guilty with the rest of the evidence.

If 'Arry gets time is Joe Jordan likely to keep them at the same standard? Be interesting to see where they are after the next 6 or so games in relation to us.

This is what pisses me off about the transfer forum. If you've got fuck all to add apart from sniping at the OP why do you even bother to visit this forum. I would say that jpeg more closely refers to you than to the OP. I can just picture you with a Julian Clary voice going "Look at me, I can...

We struggle against "park the bus" teams and have very little width to stretch the defence. Richards and AJ cut inside virtually all the time (AJ because he is played on the right as a left footed player so part of the system we use) but Clichy does tend to stay wide and ping in some decent...

His contract is up in the summer. Should be cheap and also wages shouldn't be much coming from Blackburn as a squad player to us. Pity he's not english for squad reasons. Can't see him being a regular starter but plenty of sub appearances and he's young enough (21) to get better. Wouldn't be...

I didn't rate him much at Euro 2008. He was obviously good going forward and when they were spanking teams. He went missing when the going got tough however. Fit's right in at Arsenal to be fair :p

In his defence for the first goal the ball was just an inch or 2 too high for him, it wasn't a back header by any means. It was hoofed ball up front to a sprinter in Defoe. He was damned if he did if he didn't, he'd have had no chance in a foot race against Defoe if he hadn't tried for the...

Here, plus lot of other spending charts. I'd be interested to see a similar chart with a) normal inflation factored in and b) football transfer inflation factored in (for example, the rags paid £27.5m 9 years ago for ferdinand and £3.75m for Keane in '93). <a class="postlink"...

Re: Balotelli Stamp V Spurs imho, blue tinted specs off, that's a stamp, seems totally unnatural to kick out backwards when you are falling forwards or spinning. All that's doing is pushinh him further off balance with that leg movement. To prevent a fall his leg should be going out to the...

Really puts it into perspective that we are 18 points ahead of Arsenal, that's incredible at this stage of the season

Re: Only 5 teams can still get 90 points - make that 4, er 3 Don't get your hopes up too much, EL fixtures aren't in the list yet :p
