Well, yeah. Basically, Kalou and Malouda are far too inconsistent, yet they are being chosen because they are peforming better in training than Sinclair is. Schweinsteiger is a better player than Malouda and Kalou and would therefore be given the chances.

I don't think you can be 'made' for a certain type of league. Players like Shevchenko and Pizarro have simply spent such long periods of time in foreign leagues that it becomes second nature to them, and a new league is a massive challenge.

England for the World Cup

Well 08/09 is well underway, and les Lyonnais are already 7 clear Beat Bordeaux 2-1, with Benzema and Kallstrom scoring. One of the best games I've seen this season, actually, in any league. Pure entertainment. 1 Lyon 33 2 Marseille 26 3 Rennes 25 4 Nice 25 5 Toulouse 25 6 Bordeaux 24

I'm sure people were saying that of Dimitar Berbatov when he first came to the PL... then look what happened.

Alex and Ivanovic have had a lot of money invested in them both to be brought to the Bridge, I doubt those two will be allowed to leave. Ferreira... there is a possibility he may be allowed to go elsewhere. However - if we go after Schweinsteiger, we can negotiate in January and bring him in on a free contract in the summer

I sense spam bot porn

That's one of the funniest things I've read this year

Now that's one thing I could see happening, Ollie. Good call there, I've always though Carlo would play his last year back home.

Same. However, I've got faith in our players, especially Anelka.

Our squad is small enough as it is, at the moment, I highly doubt anyone will be allowed to leave until the summer.

I wouldn't be too surprised, to be honest. Ballack and Lahm are missing for them, arguably their two biggest players.

8th is a lot better than I had hoped

Bullshit, frankly.

Shouldn't these boo boys be happy Fat Frank isn't playing?

Bruce Buck has come out and said he expects Mancienne to be part of the first team soon.

Well it would be foolish not to bring him back after his little run of form, but I doubt he'll do much. He just needs a good run in the side, like Anelka, and he'll bang them away - its the same for 90% of strikers.

Was absolutely disgusting, Morgan should be banned for life. Best of luck to Hume.

I think we should swap the kits around, have Big Pete play in blue and the outfielders in orange Would be a sight for sore eyes

I think he's fine, just doing what Ferguson does by not letting his top players participate.

Erm... I was joking Fair play mate, I don't do Geography at school anymore

Well three points certainly would be welcome, Newcastle are certainly a better-looking team now than they were a couple of months back.

Whatever it may be, if you would like to discuss the geography of England, please do it elsewhere.

Gutted. Got a phone call from Fabio last night, said he was promoting Robinson back to the first team after Joe Hart pulled out, said I wasn't ready to make the jump yet

It also has a Birmingham post code.
