Maybe RDM is seriously considering playing Ryan on the wing, he apparently told Ryan he could have faced Barca before Cole was fit again so i don't think he will have a worry about him playing because if Ryan gets skinned Cole is there to cover.

Who do you support? just out of interest

Yeah that's what i meant lol

How will Luiz and Cahill cope if it goes to extra game? Surely atleast one will have to go off.

tbh if Martinez gets appointed i will feel even better than when Kenny was there. You would have thought they would have learned from the Hogsdon debacle.

Last night i had a crazy dream that Bayern pulled out in the last minute and instead we had to play Liverpool in the final at Selhurst Park. We won 4-1 with Bosingwa scoring the 2nd and Paulo scoring the 3rd. What the fuck?

Alex McLeish is available. It couldn't happen could it?

The editors of xpert eleven need to get out more.

Just got back from a course and found out, Im genuinely devastated.

Fair enough but their is still absolutely no chance of us signing him, if were going to look at any one from City the best bet would be Adam Johnson.

This was on goal.com. The worst bit of journalism i have ever read, they say he is looking for pastures new after 2 years in the PL and then says we were the front runners Why would he leave the PL champions and the favorites to retain it for us who are deep in a transitional period, it would be the equivalent of Essien leaving us in 2006 for Liverpool.

I did say in January we should have signed another CB to go with Cahill. Jesus im starting to sound like Justin

Ill be at the pub with one of my best mates who isn't really interested in football but if he was he would support Chelsea and another mate who's a West Ham fan. For the FA Cup final i was with 2 Birmingham fans (one of which my best mate) and numerous Liverpool fans, aswell as a couple of 'neutrals'.

We have to give Robbie a one year contract. Not only does he play younger player's more often he will know who to get rid off. He has to be given next season, we won't win the league next year a jump from 6th to 1st just wont happen but he needs to be given a year to show he can progress a team.

Im a bit bemused that a Drogba-Torres partnership is even being considered. They have never scored while the other's been on the pitch, to pair them up (changing the formation) in the biggest match in the club's history is like walking around Liverpool in a United top shouting Gerrard's a cunt.

The problem is you have Allardyce and Pulis impressionists coaching the kids of this country. Any potential English Messi will be in Tesco stacking shelves by the time he's 17.

I say in future we keep young players here and give them the appropriate playing time unless... the club we are loaning him too can guarantee him first team football and reguarly. We stick a clause in the loan deal saying he can come back if he doesn't get so many minutes in a month time length.

Just been thinking how much of a bearing do tactics actually have? I have lost games in the past despite getting my tactics spot on and won despite getting them wrong. Im not actually convinced they have as big a bearing as we think, i think team rating's and especially teamwork values have more of a bearing on results.

Predator will have a field day if Gomez score's the winner and who can blame him.

Sorry i didn't know i looked back a few pages and could not find it.

With Essien's decline in the last few years we have been struggling to dominate midfield and consequently games like we use to. We IMO miss some brute who will take the bull by the horns and dominate that midfield battle, which is what this guy does and he will be 22 in the summer. Is he worth taking a punt on?

The French league is arguably weaker than the Portuguese League but every one seems so sure Hazard would be a roaring success while Hulk would flop.

Spurs will never win the title with A'rry manager.

Blackburn game shows why he should leave after Munich (hopefully in a blaze of glory). He is just not motivated for the "lesser" games any more and we will drop more points to Fulham and the likes if he stays.

Ill try. The service excuse is getting old, yes it may not be perfect but a world class forward should be getting more goals than 12 in a season and a half. He has gone on a 17 game goal drought then beat that later in the year and went on a 24 game one, going on one goal drought could be deemed as a fluke Drogba, Rooney and even Henry went on 10-15 game goal droughts in the past but doing it not only twice but twice in a short space in a time, unbelievable. He still hasn't scored a match winning goal for us, we were going through anyway before he scored at the Nou Camp and even then Torres nearly lost the tie for us twice. He scores goals at Liverpool that didn't need "service", IE from 25 yards, putting players on their ass before finishing with ease, why can't he score them type of goals here? I wont complain if he is here next season but also won't if he leaves but he can't be our first choice forward next term because it is too risky.
