sorry to hear that. *big manly hugs*

well done buddy. these things can go either very good or very very bad..glad it was the former. Good luck!

hope the move goes well and you all adjust to your new lives as smoothly as possible.

cheers for the work you have done for us today guys,in getting it back up. so it was the Indonesian hacking team responsible this time...strange times we live in.

although i didn`t want him,especially at the price..i`m pretty sure that by the time we play Man U in game 5 or 6 of the upcoming season..he will be back to his best. it will depend on us getting better service to him,but i believe AVB will sort that out for him and the other strikers.

he will know the players strengths and weaknesses already, atleast the regular 1st team players. but i think it`s more a case of talking to them one to one and checking the players mindset for the way forward,to see if they are willing to fight for their places,play in the new system etc.. i don`t believe it will be a case of them having a trial on a pitch in Cobham to see if they are still good enough. he will have plenty of time before the 6th to watch plenty of game footage from last year to evaluate their play. the names you mentioned may very well leave but he may want to tell them face to face rather than through the media. all that said..it would not surprise me atall if it`s a smoke screen and we end up buying somebody before the 6th.

the mighty Federer looks like he might be going out. should open up the tournament if he does..but he`s playing a french sportsman so even now in the final set and leading with a break of serve, anything could happen. Come on Tsonga tho..

well that is the end of that then...and Fibreglass will stay at Arsenal.

nice to see Robbie back..if i recall correctly he was part of the coaching staff under Claudio..can`t remember exactly what his position was but i think it was in some role with the youth team.

AVB likes to play a 4-3-3 but with the front 3 consisting of 1 main striker,1 out wide and 1 tucked in closer. Aguero could fit that last role..but there`s other options about there too.

i guess he`s just one of those guys who likes to parade around in public in pink.

the pieces will fall into place. the club may not be willing to inform us as that would mean they would be informing the football world of their intentions but that is not to say that they don`t have something already in the pipe line.

whoever their replacements should be..i hope they have a better mentality when the chips are down. Malouda,Anelka,Drogba..all fantastic players when their heads are screwed on straight but they lose their heads more times than Worzel Gummidge.and are all completely useless to us at such times. i`ve grown really tired of those type of players..they all over 30 too so it can`t be a teenage hormones thing..

either that is bullshit or the Porto owner/chairman was talking bullshit when he said he would only let players go if the release clause was met..which in Hulk`s case is something like £91m. which i guess could be bullshit too. i guess we will just have to wait and see but if the article is true then i wouldn`t mind Roman splashing 36m on Hulk. ideally it would be for less but in todays market there`s been bigger rip offs.

could it be that Anderson just isn`t good enough to justify playing more games? i hate having to defend Man U but i just don`t see the point in denying something they do well and better than us because i would just sound like a typical liverpool fan. we sometimes give youth and young players we sign a chance. but they do it multiple times every season...if we had signed Hernandez he would have been sent out on loan multiple times before he had a sniff of first team action,if atall. and that is just one example. maybe under AVB that will change,i really hope it does..but for any player looking at how each team gives a young player chances it is so obvious who has the better track record that i feel like i`m being patronizing in saying it here.

can`t fault your effort mate but my opinion on him remains the same. he chose a backward step so he could have 5k a week more in cash,.when he could have saved that in house insurance if he stayed at the club he supposedly loved as much as anyone,the club who made him a millionaire and gave him the medals that he wouldn`t have won at West Ham and won`t at Liverpool. Ballack the German who hadn`t probably heard of Chelsea when he was growing up,showed himself to be more loyal than the guy who was a Chelsea season ticket holder when he was.

she is a beauty fair play.

pure quality striker,any football fan that would try to rubbish that fact would instantly lose my respect for their opinion. and yes at 30 he still has it..but no thanks. if Carlo was still here he`d probably say he has yet to reach his peak and has years left, but not with a forward thinking manager at the helm now. you don`t add old parts to a new machine and that is what Eto`o would be.

can`t bring myself to watch it..would be like watching a home video of me in happier times with someone who i loved deeply, but turned out to be a cheating whore.

they were all class acts.they all had their brilliant moments for us even if they didn`t quite live upto the expectations of the majority..we could have done with all of them last season.. Ballack wasn`t the everything runs through him playmaker that we probably all expected him to be (as with Deco) but he still was a great player for us..he changed his game to help the team and in some aspects of his game, played his best stuff with us..by that i mean discipline,improved his defensive work etc..he will probably rank as one of the unluckiest players of all time,the amount of semi-finals and finals he lost in for both his clubs and country.most of which were lost unfairly. however although their departures probably was the biggest factor in us not retaining our title last season..i see their departures as a "one step backwards to take two steps forward" move. who knows if Ballack and Deco hadn`t left Josh might have been loaned out to a bad team for him and could have had his career derailed. he wouldn`t have got the game time with us last season and wouldn`t be set to have a bigger role in this upcoming season. plus we probably wouldn`t have got our hands on AVB and the cracks in our squad would have been papered over for yet another year. i do miss them tho yes.

the two major runnings we have had with them..they started both fights and then squealed about it when we fought back each time..1st on the field in the 1966 World cup. 2.the Falklands War in 1982. i think what my grandad used to say about the Italians rings true for a lot of Argentinians..."they are the bravest people in the world...when they are the only ones carrying the weapons" Ernesto "Che" Guevara had some balls tho fair play and the Rugby guys who survived the plane crash on the Andes,spending something like 70 days in the snow by eating the dead. gotta respect that.. so to sum it up..yes there are low lives in Argentina..as there is in every country,in yours,in mine in everybodies. i do agree tho that Argentinian football fans in general are a bunch of scumbags.

Blionheart touched upon something that i see a lot of in fan forums of team sports. often there is a group of fans who seem to believe that the first signing made in a transfer window is going to be the biggest/most important signing the team makes. but in reality the first signing is the easiest deal to complete,which is rarely the biggest/most important player. as for Falcao not being needed..i think he is. even if Torres returns to the form he displayed elsewhere,he couldn`t play a full season for a team who usually since he was there,played in fewer games per season than we have and looks like we will for years to come. we need to let our older strikers go when we can recoup some money for them. so Falcao then can challenge Torres for the starting CF berth and be the first option when he needs rest but we still need to win. and all that is going along with the assumption that Falcao and Torres can`t play together..which may not be the case. Torres,Falcao and Sturridge,sounds good to me with some width added and a creative CM/CAM. get about 28-35 for Drogba,Anelka and Kalou. which would pay for Falcao and most of the DeBruyne fee if not all.

whenever galatasary are mentioned i think back to the time we were " welcomed to hell " by shall we say "hostile" fans..who were quiet as a church mouse after we put 5 past them,as their fans poured out long before the end..was like a trip to shite hart lane really..

i was taking what you said seriously until you stated Coentrao is 10x`s better than the best LB in the world. the bridge in class is closing on Ashley. he`s not as far ahead of the competition than he used to be..but the North Pole is melting quicker than the competition is catching him. people outside of Portugal do watch these players in your country btw...we do recognize him.

you can look at the photos they have uploaded..if every one of them is just in action on the field,at training grounds etc..then it`s a good chance that it`s fake. if there`s family on there..say a sister ,a cousin etc..then it is probably real..
