LDN Blue

Don't like how they're making a mockery of Ronaldinho on commentary on ESPN. He's still a fantastic player from what I've heard. Hopefully someone can clear that up to me, on how he's doing at Flamengo (coughHenriquecough)

Speaking of recklessness.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXPllWggwN8

We should sign Alex Oxdale-Chamberlain. They call him the next Walcott but better. Arsanal are tracking him. We should sign him instead.. Not this shit.

That won't work in the UK http://magictv.co/

Robinho's awful

DailyStar have started..

Wimbledon Champion & World #1 on Monday! What a year it's been for Djokovic! Very happy for him

Can we shut up about Torres?

An insight into Porto's feelings over Villa$-Boa$' move.

Good thread. It will depend on transfers made to judge if we are taking a new approach however the interest in Modric made me think perhaps we are. As BLionheart said, the defence should always be full of strong guy, since they'll be most effective. The holding should be strong, regardless of height. So you had Essien who wasn't the tallest, but certainly the strongest. Now we have Mikel who's taller and not as stronger (in terms of weight). The midfield should be slightly shorter imo. Shorter players are better with pace and control and they are much more effective when it comes to playmakers. Examples; Modric, Nasri, Xavi, Ozil ect. Most people argue that they'd be bullied around in the PL but the good thing about them is they can simply outpace and play their way around this problem. As for the forwards. I like the idea of having a target man supported by a natural goal scoring forward, i.e. Torres. Even though there's an argument tactics might change to "boot it up and hope for the best" with a target man, I think a manager can use a target man without using such tactics. Because you have the likes of Sturridge & Torres supporting the target man. I use Heskey as an example.. Not he himself, but his type of player. He's designed to give the strikers support when it comes to going through defence and making those powerful runs to start/carry on a movement. We can use Lukaku because he's also got good pace and technique to dribble around defenders using his strength.

We've all done it once or twice

Damn right you have Welcome back

I'd think Gibbs would play left back & Vermaelen centre-back with Samba/Cahill I feel sorry for their fans (the good ones)

I thought you, of all people, would see a bad source for what it is..

I know that, but it wasn't my point. Heavyweight boxing has been dead ever since Tyson stepped down. That's a true fact to be honest. He carried that whole division on his back because he was that great. Since him, no-one's really picked up the weight and brought it back to what it used to be. The competition is weak. The boxing is weak. Klitshcko is a good boxer, no doubt, but he's ruined Heavyweight boxing Imo.

I guess that explains the lack of approach from Haye. Of course everyone's going to say "cop out" but he did just prove that on national television Fair game to him for not announcing that till now. Well.. Time for him to cash in that £7,000,000 he's getting paid after this

Damn! Was hoping Haye would surprise me. Klitshcko had a good match for once, but he's the wrong man to carry the heavyweight division :\ his style of boxing is the reason h/w is a joke. Grateful the likes of Manny Pacquiao is still fighting like a lion Congrats to Wladimir I guess. Hope Haye comes back stronger.

Oh Yeah, I'm used to calling them scum instead

Scum aren't in the Champions League. They can't offer the same incentives United or We can. Nasri's situation is about money but he's not stupid, he won't sign for a team who aren't in Europe's elite competition this year despite their team becoming strong.

Falcao & Rodallega playing for Columbia at the moment v. Costa Rica Columbia 1-0 Costa Rica HT

Agreed. I know a few graphics artists and music producers who really feel a difference in Mac compared to a PC. That's what they were designed for originally and that's why they'd pay more. However for general use there's nothing wrong with a PC. Hell put a Linux on a PC and it'll feel like a Mac too.

Just hope we hijack their chance.. Depends on his own opinion, I think he'd join United over us to be honest. Unless he does like Modric and prefers to stay in London.

To be honest, they're more likely to land him. They can promise him 1st team football, don't think we can (no matter how many Cech replacement claims we make)

:541:

Heavyweight boxing sucks now. In any case.. I'd want Haye to win. That being said, I reckon Klitshcko will. Respect to Haye at how he's playing this one, he's made it a make or break match for himself.
