Re: Englands Best Striker?

Owen should have been better, but got injured and slow. Rooney should have been better but his all round skills means he gets played in midfield and dragged wide too much and he has come nowhere near to fulfilling his potential. I went for Lineker, because he did it in two world cups for us, and as ...

Winston Smith Son to Spurs for €30M

Just another in a long line of overpriced underperforming forwards that Spurs sign?


There are still a few days left of the transfer window. They could find a club to take him for £10 million now and just save us all from a couple of seasons of disappointment.

Re: LOLiverpooLOL - Next Season

FFS how offside was Bentekes goal. The offside rule is becoming a joke now. Nothing wrong with the law, just its application. It's quite good for the referees to have such a clear example of the new interpretation of the law. If somebody official now says that Coutinho should have been given offsid...

Re: CheLOLsea

Chelsea have appealed the Cortois red card. How ? Mistaken identity ? Is there the option to increase the ban for a silly appeal ? Is Shane Watson on the Chelsea staff ? I hope you are right, because it was close to being a coward's tackle that deserved a straight red anyway, as well as being a pro...

Re: Summer business thus far

Expectations were really low as Clarke was the man responsible for signing Yakubu, but I have been pleasantly surprised. the Hull lads and the goalies look solid enough to protect us from a relegation battle. Strikers are a worry, but Sa or Samuel could come good I suppose, or we could play HRK up f...

Champions League football, so it need not be considered a massive step down for him, but it's always a shame when another young player doesn't make it here. I quite liked him last year, but he wasn't quite good enough for us.

Re: Pog to get wage rise!!!

Also, how much pasta per person is usual? I've been working to 100g but recent recipies I've noticed they seem to be stating 75g. I'd let myself slip and had got up to 113 g, but 100 g is normal, and I am dieting furiously on 90 g. Pog probably cooks about 250g because he puts lots of effort into h...

Express reporting that Liverpool are about to sign Christian Benteke for £32.5 million That sounds like a sensible Liverpool transfer. It must be years since that happened. It's nearly as much as they paid for Andy Carroll. Less than they played for Carroll for a player who is twice as good. £32.5 ...

No Fixed Abode Falcao joins Chelsea on loan. It could be a master stroke of a signing.


Agreed. Quality player.

Ruined at Man Utd.


Shit player at United. Being a bit-part player at Chelsea isn't going to help him rediscover the magic.

Re: England - the future....

Admire the result from that game, but not the performance. Loftus-Cheek looked good when he came on though, and we did stay calm near the end, kept our shape, and didn't just resort to lumping it forward or give away a silly goal - that must be some sort of progress.

I kind of forgot about it as well until the Saturday night.

Handsome Man Wow - was that handball the worse decision in a major game since all those Swansea free kicks in the play-off final?


No, because it was handball!


Why then ref?
