you have been listening to fergiespeak ,,,but it was last year he said our squad was too old ....now he says scholes and giggs can play until theyre over 40 .....Injuries seem to happen as much to young players as older ones ....I think there is a lot of mileage left in drogs and anelka ... anelka seems to maturing like a vintage french whine ,,,not too be confused with wenger or gallas who are just bog standard whines.. looking throughout our squad I think we are developing a perfect blend of youth and experience.. I saw the legendary Stan Mathews playing against wolves ,who were then Englands top side ,,,Stan that day played centre forward rather than on the wing ...he ran rings round Billy Wright who was england centre half and captain ...he capped the day with a goal from halfway ...the point of this.. Mathews was 48 at the time ,,,he was later to lead Stoke back to the top division at age 50 .. yes I know the game has moved on ...but players are by no means on their last legs at 30 ...

:goodpost: well said ...glass always half full

this has been a terrible start to the season in terms of the short pre season followed by interruptions due to internationals ...the transfer window is also an unsettling period with constant rumours and speculation. All these factors affect fans thinking . But consider our actual results in the 3 games played so far , Last year this was forum was so negative at times when one or two results went against us . Now we are getting pessiimism when we are 100% and TOP of the league ,,,,,the season starts properly in nine days time ....Lets look forward to it . KTF and K T B F F

that might be your nature now ,,,but when you mature you may find life more satisfying ,,,one would hope so

people have been complaining for years we werent giving young players a chance ,,,now carlo intends to ,,,,and of course its wrong ... seems some people are never pleased

he went there after the world cup ,,spent a lot of time with children ...well done Floren

dont be enigmatic say what you think .. i think we have QUALITY,,,in the 70s scumpool won everything with a squad of about 17

imho delac is the future ,,hope he is with us next season

small in numbers ,,big in physique ..massive in talent .. a lean mean scoring machine

thats what we all want

Sighs ,,you are right of course ..lets all go and support Citeh

shows the value of K T F

dont forget I can remember when Ipswich were good

even the tractor boys ,,,but at least they play inblue

:goodpost:

pity ..he looked so promising when he arrived ..loan deal worked out dreadfully ...wishing the boy the best of luck

all hypothetical now ..until january when all the speculation can kick off again

sometime ...somewhere ,,,the FA MUST have got something right ,, just can remember it happening in my life time ..perhaps older members can .

go see the chelsea rejects ,,,watch scumpool ...glen joe now carlton ,,,maybe wayne next

not an easy choice ,,,last year would have been easy ..ballack ....not too happy about keeper as captain ...drog is too excitable..guess id go with essien

would love to see zola take over the youth team

suddenly a rush of injuries ,,,notice 3 defenders ... this is not actually surprising it is a phenomenon known as Cluster Theory ,,,we have suffered from it in recent years ..but most clubs have.

perhaps time to close this thread ,,,everyone seems to have their say ,,now just becoming repetitive

the pity is the idiots who thought it clever to abuse Kalou and Yossi ,,,thats where this whole ridiculous scenario kicked off

if they had supported the blues in the 70s they wouldnt be calling any of our present players rubbish ,,,at times we had no one in an international squad,,,now including u21s we have 2 full teams of internationals ....incidentally drog not in ivory coast squad but kalou is ...ironic
