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...

I hope you're right but he's suddenly gone to 1/2 to sign for us and 6/4 to stay at Villa (Skybet).

That's true but they are a better guide than newspaper headlines as the bookies don't like losing money. If you think Gundogan's neither staying at Dortmund nor signing for City then go for it, because you'll get a big price.

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...

An excellent post and it's hard to disagree with any of that. You could add in a terrible non penalty decision against Boro with the score at 0-0. If old fatty had been able to keep up with play, we could well still be in the cup too. To balance against that , we were lucky against Everton (a...

You're spot on regarding Ian Storey Moore. The respective transfer fees were similar too (circa 200k) Moore got off to a good start hence the rags chant, to the tune of Jesus Chris Superstar: Rodney Marsh, superstar How many goals have you scored so far? One or two, three or four? Not as many...

TC left around three years before Rodney arrived! He didn't cost us the league so much as Allison dropping Wyn Davies and changing our style to accommodate him at a crucial part of the season. He should've been eased in gradually, a fact Marsh concedes readily. As an earlier poster stated, he...

I'm in this camp too. I think Silva is our best ever player and that Gio should've been a world star elsewhere. He could and should have left when we got relegated the first time after an unbelievable first season. He showed loyalty to the fans who loved him and his career then nosedived for...

Yep, just googled it . Still the joint leading scorer in this season's Europa League though and sold for 11m Euros, so my original point stands! Hats off to him!
