we beat them, they didn't beat us even with 1 man advantage... that's enough for me

No matter who wears the armband, everyone knows there is only one captain when a certain JT is on the field.

Wouldn't want to become a Barca rejects club, after all, we're better than them. And by the looks of it he's a cheating little bitch. Don't like him very much.

Based on the fact that he's played his professional career in a single club? He could well become one, a la Anelka, but nothing to support that notion yet.

Is this the most one sided poll?

Somewhy at first I thought he was Italian too, coming with the Napoli bandwagon. But then the Australian flag appeared. Terminator X. If possible, my 2nd nomination will go to Ollie.. love his rants But if it's not possible, then take it as an 'honorable mention'.

afaik Tito Vilanova has already been appointed permanently for Barcelona.

i'm not sure how Cech can say that "one day it will happen with goals".. as of now Drogs is playing his last few games for us, and it's doubtful there'll be "one day" for them.

rare to see maka being somebody's favourite, defensive mids are most overlooked imo welcome

true, real's return for their money spent is horrible

that 5 year extension puts a dent in it, yes. i'd rather we focused on more pressing positions, fellaini wouldn't be cheap and wouldn't leave much more room for more important players.

what kind of player is Fellaini though? would he want to leave if a big club came asking? or is he "loyal" (whatever that means in modern football)?

you asked for top players you sold in last 10 years. pienaar can be considered that as sp*rs and us were interested in him.

Pienaar perhaps? E: you edited your post. he first asked for top players they sold in last 10 years.

I can see him being interested in joining us. Everton also are a selling club with financial strains, I believe they have to let their best players go sooner or later... wouldn't mind if the destination were us. Having De Bruyne, Lukaku and Courtois here will be a bonus.

among others

I will do it even if we don't sign anyone

we don't play 4-4-2, and I don't want either of them becoming an Anelka.. so I voted no.

I know you didn't agree. I was fighting Savage's opinion - that's all it is, an opinion. If he brought figures to strengthen his argument and he succeeded, then his facts are either off or faked.

Yep. Attacker's diffidence is defender's confidence and vice versa.

Why not? Ads=more exposure=more interest=more money. If advertising revenue exceeds advertising expenses (i.e. space cost), then both parties will profit. We'll have to wait and see how fruitful it will be. I'm surprised this is a unique deal as of yet, considering that Berlusconi owns AC Milan and Briatore was the chairman of QPR.

TV figures contradict that. Only games that are bigger are Euro and World Cup finals.

Well it seems we severely overhyped him if he plays even less at Swansea.

You were around at the time Jimmy Greaves played. Was he hated on too because after Chelsea he left to Spurs and Wet Spam. Fans couldn't have been happy? Poyet is another example.

The question is will the players respect him enough?
