Nobody's perfect. Fact is, we're in a much better position with Abramovich than without so he gets my respect.

Of course we wouldn't have. We were going down the drain in terms of finances; had Ranieri not got us into the Champions League the summer Abramovich came in, we would have probably done a Leeds. I'm absolutely serious that's the difference. Abramovich made this club swim when it could have so easily sunk.

Er, all managers are biased towards their players, all good ones anyway. If you don't support your own players, you'll soon lose their respect.

I don't think it's anything new or have I missed something? We are talking about the away goals rule here right? Away goals don't automatically count as double, that would be ridiculous.

"The only thing I can think about is that he (Crouch) spoke about the players who play in his team. He knows the foreigners in his team very closely. I don't think he knows much about other foreigners." Grant got himself a + in my opinion with that!

He's only paying for the best

Not quite the same though is it? That's very much an issue of identity, but I wouldn't have said a Ghanaian could claim to feel British instead of Ghanaian.

Are they really entitled to dual nationality? How does that work? If they were born in a country that has now severed it's links with it's former colony, I don't see how they could qualify automatically to be a British or French or whatever national.

I'm absolutely certain badboy's right here, and the program would be ignored, at least by the officials who are actually able to do something about it.

I guess that kind of assumption only proves his opinion

I'm willing to bet plenty here don't have a clue where Slovenia is

...Oh. I thought it was up to January. That explains that then.

Kalou got around alright, but he had no end product. He's played better. Starting to become a frustrating player, although I still have faith he can be an excellent player for us in the future. He's certainly got the ball at feet technique. Well if Pizarro was off with Gerrard, he'll be back for the weekend hopefully, which means we will have two recognised strikers at least.

And now Sinclair too as we called him back.

Kalou CAN be a good player, although he was pretty bad last night. What happened to Pizarro by the way?

Haha it's perfect how he just falls over everything. Stupid kid, playing his porn up loud.

I think you may be right there.

He ate them.

Well 13 goals from 35 starts is no big deal to me if he's a striker, not in the Chilean league especially. I guess there has to be more to him than that.

Off to the African Nations I presume he means.

It's all that sunbed and fake tan. She looks horrific. No wonder he keeps cheating on her.

Might be that frock he's wearing What the fuck is he up to?

What's that got to do with this game Haz?

So wait, what position does he play?
